Supply Chain Aqua Trace App Launched to Boost Shrimp Traceability, Curb Export Rejections
The Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry has launched the Aqua Trace app for aquaculture farms and hatcheries to establish a robust traceability system and strengthen compliance with international food safety standards.
