ट्रेसेबिलिटी सिस्टम कार्यान्वयन और समन्वय की उच्च लागत (High Cost of Manual Traceability Coordination)
Definition
Research of 226 Indian dry fish supply chain stakeholders identified that lack of a traceability coordinator is a MAJOR BARRIER. In the absence of digital systems, small processors manually track lot numbers, dates, supplier names, and product movement across handwritten logs and spreadsheets. This requires dedicated staff or diverted operational time. The barrier is compounded by 'lack of government support' and absence of subsidies or shared-cost models to justify coordinator hiring.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹3-8 lakh/year per SME (est. 1-2 FTE @ ₹3-4 lakh/year + overhead + audit time); multiplied across 3,477 coastal fishing villages = ₹104-277 crore industry-wide annual waste on manual coordination.
- Frequency: Monthly recurring; increases during peak harvest seasons and export cycles.
- Root Cause: Fragmented paper-based lot documentation processes; no unified digital standard; SMEs cannot afford dedicated coordinator role; govt framework exists but implementation delayed.
