SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

The Electronic Meat Transfer Certificates (eMTC) providing
bio-Security, traceability and efficiency
The eMTC system is directly used by processors, cold storage facilities, shipping companies, exporters, importers,
country of destination cold storage facilities and finally the buyers.
Indirectly the regulatory authorities use the eMTC to validate the details and contents of consignments by being able to
verify each and every carton uniquely by reconciling the bar codes to the export documentation.

Key Points
The eMTC system applies global standards to
uniquely track and trace individual cartons of meat
back to the country of origin and their production
source. The eMTC system is built on the GS1 global
trading standards for unique product identification
(GS1 bar code) and electronic messaging
(EANCOM despatch advice message).
