In today’s global meat export markets, traceability is indispensable. Trace AgTech offers a powerful digital platform helping Indian exporters meet stringent APEDA regulations and international standards with a seamless farm-to-export traceability solution.

Why Traceability is Critical for Meat Exporters

Traceability builds consumer confidence by verifying the origin and processing history of meat products. It plays a vital role in compliance with government regulations, such as those from APEDA, and global buyers’ quality mandates. Traceability also mitigates risks such as contamination, fraud, and enables efficient recall management.

Recent Regulatory Updates (2025)

Effective October 29, 2025, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) mandates all exporters of chilled and frozen meat products to contribute to the Meat Export Development Fund (MEDF), managed by APEDA. Export shipments without evidence of MEDF remittance may be rejected or detained, emphasizing the importance of proper digital record-keeping and compliance.

Trace AgTech helps exporters meet these evolving regulatory demands by digitizing compliance documentation and facilitating seamless proof submission to customs and regulatory authorities.
