Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for managing and monitoring agricultural produce inventories from harvest forward in the supply chain, including obtaining data points relating to activity and activity locations that bear on the produce as it moves along the supply chain, and further includes methods for tracing inventory histories. The invention includes three component parts; (1) management of variables that impact the crop prior to the farm gate, (2) tracking, tracing, and monitoring functions for the crop as it moves through the supply chain, and finally (3) crop-specific integration of the system and it's requisite control points into a wide variety of entities within the fresh produce supply chain with minimal impact on existing operations. Also included is a system and method for assigning a non-unique identifier to the segregated crop batch or product and associating a global location identifier indicating a point of origin of said crop batch with said non-unique identifier. This association transforms the non-unique product identifier into a globally unique identifier.
