Therefore, Biogold International (Biogold) has partnered
several companies around the world to develop new
traceability systems that will revolutionise the way we
manage horticultural IP in the future.
Gesvatec™ and Biotag™ are two new innovative
traceability systems that offer the following advantages
to IP owners and users:
• Gesvatec™ is a unique binary coded visual labelling
passport system. This system offers a centrally
controlled database to monitor all packing of
controlled products on a global basis in real time. The
individually unique binary coded labels are issued
via an internet linked system to licensed packing
operations. The labels cannot be forged.
• B iotag™ is a poly-nucleotide marker which provides
IP managers with the ultimate traceability system of
being able to trace the origin of products from source.
The combination of the two traceability systems will
allow the secure management of intellectual property
around the world. The Biogold International group of
companies offers access to these systems for innovators,
breeders, producers and all IP managers.
These systems give a
wide range of benefits to all value chain participants:
Assurance
Breeders and innovators can be assured of control
and revenue streams for products and growers are
assured of not competing with illegal producers in the
market place.
Source validation
Marked produce provides all parties in the value add
chain with the ability to trace produce from any point in
the delivery of product to the market.
Visual passports
Box-end labelling provides retailers with validation of
produce origin, ensuring it is not illegal.
Volume control
Management agents, breeders, packers etc who
participate in the value chain have access to immediate
an accurate volume controls
Royalty collection
IP managers are able to easily verify volumes
of product. This, in turn, offers an economy of
administration. |
