APEDA GrapeNet, AnarNet & HortiNet: Farm Traceability System for Maharashtra Fruit Exporters

Mastering Farm-to-Fork Traceability: GrapeNet, AnarNet & HortiNet in Maharashtra

European and premium global buyers enforce zero tolerance for chemical residue exceedances in fresh produce. Following historical residue crises, APEDA created the world's most sophisticated agricultural traceability frameworks: GrapeNet, AnarNet (Pomegranate), MangoNet, and the unified HortiNet portal.

Under this system, fresh fruits can only be exported from registered farm plots audited by the State Agriculture Department. Every export box contains a barcode tracing the fruit back to the specific farmer's plot, GPS coordinates, agrochemical spraying schedule, and laboratory pesticide residue report. At KOKJAGUAR Consultancy, we help agro exporters onboard onto HortiNet and secure seamless packhouse clearances. Review our farm traceability consulting services.

Traceability Architecture Workflow

• Farm Plot Registration: Agricultural officers inspect orchards and assign unique Farmer Registration Numbers.
• Residue Sampling: Authorized laboratories collect fruit samples directly from the farm prior to harvest.
• Internal Lab Clearance: Gas chromatography (GC-MS/MS) testing for over 200 chemical residues against EU MRLs.
• Agmark & Packhouse Certification: Electronic Certificate of Agmark Inspection (e-CAI) issued for compliant fruit lots.
