Traceability has become a strategic tool for strengthening the competitiveness, transparency, and sustainability of Brazilian agri-food supply chains in the face of new regulatory and market demands. The executive summary presents the current scenario in Brazil, the main challenges of interoperability, land tenure validation, inclusion of small producers, and technological costs, as well as highlighting opportunities associated with digital technologies, data integration, financing, and alignment with climate goals. The publication also proposes pathways for building an integrated national traceability strategy capable of increasing confidence in Brazilian products, reducing socio-environmental risks, and transforming transparency and sustainability into a competitive advantage for the sector.
