- Abstract
The international food trade regulates more and more the tracking of the products at all stages, so establishing good traceability practices implies a challenge in the companies. This document presents a diagnosis of the traceability legislation of the United States of America, the European Union and Argentina, as well as existing initiatives for the implementation of good traceability practices in Costa Rican institutions, to determine if there are adequate systems in the country that meet with the requirements of international markets. This tool is considered fundamental to protect the health of the consumer, which is why several countries have normalized traceability as a requirement for entry into their markets. The challenge facing Costa Rica's fresh food industry today is to address regulatory requirements and the implementation of these systems in industries. Costa Rica has difficulties in the application of traceability design; public entities do not give the necessary support to exporting companies, which makes the implementation of these systems in the country even more impossible. Among the results found in the present investigation was obtained: there is no entity responsible for directing a national policy regarding traceability systems in companies, the subject is known but no specific actions are taken. In this study, the methodology used is unstructured interviews and is contrasted with international literature.
