"India: APEDA develops "Hortinet" software to ensure export quality"

APEDA - the Agricultural and Processed Food products Export Development Agency, is working on a tool to monitor residual pesticide levels in vegetables. This comes after rising concern over chemical levels in Indian vegetables that are being exported to the Middle East and Europe.

In this regard, “Hortinet, a software is in the process of development, which is likely to bring a chain of growers, processors and exporters together in order to ensure good quality of vegetable export,” Sanjay Dave, director, APEDA, said.

Identified farmers will be given training in the production of export quality vegetables and food tracking.

“Also our similar experience with grapes (Grapenet) had been an impetus to form Hortinet, whereby once the Hortinet is developed it would then be merged with Grapenet and accordingly the software would consider vegetables,” said Dave.

APEDA has almost completed the process and the software is likely to be developed in just few months.
