Abstract: This research proposes a quick response (QR) code-based supply chain traceability system to control the quality and safety of Marine Dry Fish in India. Micro and small enterprises (MSEs) are the main stakeholders of the dry fish supply chain in India. These MSEs rely mainly on paper documentation for traceability, and technology adoption is still in an early stage due to poor affordability. The proposed QR code stores information such as source/origin, product/variety, location and time of processing, and packaging into a real-time database server. The proposed system was tested among dry fish supply chain stakeholders in Ernakulam, one of the marine districts of Kerala-India. The results showed significant benefits to dry fish value chain members and customers by integrating information collected along the supply chain and tracking the products from fisherman to the end consumer.
