Avg benefits of traceability
India
The benefits, such as improving product quality, attracting new customers and differentiating own products from others, have a significant positive impact on the intention to implement the traceability system.
Key Observations
Traceability in the dry fish supply chain deserves research attention, especially among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in a developing country like India, due to the illegal harvesting of seafood and mislabelling of dry fish products. The study asked 226 stakeholders in the dry fish supply chain in Kerala and Tamil Nadu to rate the perceived benefits, drivers, and barriers that impact implementing the traceability in the Indian dry fish SMEs on a 5-point Likert scale. It used regression and correlation analysis to study the interrelationship between the different factors.

Key Observations
The study reveals that barriers to implementing a traceability system in the dried fish industry are negatively correlated, while perceived benefits, drivers, and awareness are positively correlated. The benefits, such as improving product quality, attracting new customers and differentiating own products from others, have a significant positive impact on the intention to implement the traceability system. As far as the perceived driver’s effect on the traceability system is considered, the leading elements are quality and safety concerns, food safety regulations, and to obtaining competitive advantages. Finally, the critical barriers to traceability are identified as high cost, capacity limitations, limited awareness, lack of vernment support and lack of a coordinator.
