The seafood industry operates within one of the most complex supply chains, often requiring multiple intermediaries from catch to plate. As a result, supply chains can involve up to seven companies, making record-keeping highly fragmented. Moreover, many businesses still rely on paper documentation, which is often scattered across different locations. In this context, traceability refers to the ability to track the origin of seafood, the conditions under which it was farmed or caught, and the intermediaries involved throughout its journey. Ultimately, improving traceability in seafood operations is essential for ensuring sustainability in both aquaculture and wild-caught fisheries.
FairAgora, a corporate social responsibility firm based in Bangkok, helps buyers audit seafood suppliers by verifying sustainability claims. The solution, FairAgora’s Verifik8 software, provides real-time monitoring and data-driven insights, improving supply chain transparency. This platform enables businesses to track, manage, and display social and environmental data for seafood operations. As a result, companies gain deeper visibility into sourcing practices and regulatory compliance.
By leveraging Verifik8 software, producers not only meet regulatory pressures from importing markets, but also respond to growing consumer demand for responsible sourcing. Furthermore, it helps businesses proactively identify environmental and social risks within their supply chains. Through mobile-based data collection and continuous real-time monitoring, Verifik8 strengthens trust and compliance across every stage of the supply chain.
One of the major advantages of FairAgora’s Verifik8 software is that it helps create a level playing field for small-scale seafood operators. Unlike large corporations that rely on costly and complex compliance systems, Verifik8 instead provides an affordable and efficient alternative. Moreover, the platform enables smaller businesses to improve traceability, enhance ethical sourcing, and, as a result, compete in global seafood markets without requiring high-cost infrastructure. Additionally, it simplifies regulatory compliance, ensuring that seafood suppliers meet sustainability standards while also maintaining competitiveness.
