I went to the articles you reference to look at the strategic framework. It is a complex process, and when one recognizes the complexity and myriad combinations of countries who import/export with not only the U.S. but the rest of the world, it becomes important to set a global standard.

Sounds like pay for performance , but countries who do not meet the standards of tracking should be penalized, likewise those who do meet the standard should be rewarded in some way.

I think being able to track produce and imports is a major priority…in today’s world everything should be bar coded or RFIDed. Prevention is critical, but when the system breaks down and we have salmonella or e.coli outbreaks that cannot be traced…that is really dangerous.
This also applies to domestic products.
If we want seasonal produce year round from other parts of the world or country we should be more cautious.
