About the PTI: The Produce Traceability Initiative is an industry wide effort aimed at creating a traceability process that will enable the quick and efficient electronic tracking and tracing of produce cases between supply chain members.
The initiative was created by Produce Marketing Association, Canadian Produce Marketing Association and United Fresh Produce Association. The PTIs Action Plan for achieving chain-wide, electronic traceability was created by a Steering Committee of 50+ produce companies representing every facet of the produce supply chain and through the support of additional trade associations in both the United States and Canada.
