Simply scan the QR code label with your smartphone to access the information. Vegetables 、 Fruit The entire process from birth to maturity. This type of inquiry is referred to as Agricultural products Quality QR code traceability.

The safety and quality of agricultural products are vital to public health and safety. This traceability approach provides greater assurance of product quality.

Today, such product quality traceability systems have also been implemented in several standardized leading agricultural enterprises in Dinghai. Farmer Among agricultural entities such as specialized cooperatives and family farms.

According to the Dinghai District Bureau of Agriculture, Forestry, and Marine Fisheries, in recent years Dinghai has been actively expanding the construction of an agricultural product traceability system for key farming entities. Recently, the district was successfully selected as a pilot site in the second batch of national initiatives to establish counties (districts) for agricultural product quality and safety, making it the only county in Zhoushan City to be included.

On the morning of April 23, at Yiran Ecological Farm in Dasha Community, Xiaosha Subdistrict, staff were busy sorting and processing the produce harvested that day. Fresh vegetables The products are packaged and labeled with a traceability code. When the reporter scanned the code using a smartphone, information such as the name of the person in charge, their mobile phone number, and the results of quality inspections was immediately displayed.

“For now, this is all the information available, but in the future, by using traceability codes, we’ll be able to access details on vegetable sowing, irrigation, weeding, harvesting, as well as environmental data such as air quality and humidity,” said He Ke, the farm’s director.

Inside the newly constructed multi-span greenhouse on the farm, cameras have been installed. “These are no ordinary cameras—they can capture video signals in real time and transmit them to computers or smartphones, enabling staff to monitor conditions on site and remotely control and intelligently adjust designated equipment,” according to He Ke. He explained that this system can continuously collect and analyze environmental parameters within the greenhouse, such as light intensity, soil temperature, and soil moisture. Based on these analysis results, staff can remotely manage shading, rolling shutters, automated drip irrigation, ventilation, and other operations.

“With the support of advanced technology, the agricultural products we grow not only boast high yields but also meet stringent quality standards,” He Ke said.

The reporter learned that Dinghai District currently implements two approaches to agricultural product quality traceability. “One is entity-based traceability, which uses a traceability code to clearly identify the producer and the production date; the other is end-to-end traceability, whereby the traceability code provides a complete record of every step in the process for a given vegetable—from planting to watering, weeding, fertilization, and finally harvesting,” Jiang Weiguang of the Agricultural and Forestry Industry Development Section of the Dinghai District Bureau of Agriculture, Forestry, and Marine Fisheries told the reporter.

Thirty-eight agricultural entities have been integrated into the traceability system.

“Food safety on the tip of the tongue” is vital to the health of citizens. By logging onto the agricultural product quality and safety supervision platform, one can access information on sampling inspections, law enforcement activities, and the use of traceability codes for each agricultural entity. To date, Dinghai District has completed the establishment of agricultural product traceability systems for 38 leading agricultural enterprises, farmer specialized cooperatives, family farms, and other agricultural entities at or above the district level, achieving 115% of the set target.

“Citizens can trace the quality of agricultural products by scanning the QR codes on vegetable and fruit packaging or the ear tags on livestock and poultry products, thereby achieving end-to-end traceability for agricultural produce from major production areas across the district—ensuring that production is documented, processes are recorded, and quality is fully traceable,” Jiang Weiguang explained. He added that the number of agricultural entities subject to online monitoring has also increased to 198, enabling comprehensive, chain-wide oversight from farm to table.
