Context

DOOR, the database of Origin and registration, 134 of protected designation of origins (PDO) and protected geographical indications ( PGI) in the cathegory of oil, mainly in Italy (49), Spain (34), Greece (29), France (9).

Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and Council laying down the principles and requirements of food law, article 18, introduces for the first time horizontally, for all food businesses and feed, the requirement to have from 1 January 2005 a system of traceability "of food, feed, animals for food production and any other substances to be incorporated into a food or feed, or is likely to be. "

Why Gest-Oli is for me?

• It is expected to get a final open and scalable system that can be easily adaptable to all agri-food sectors with traceability requierements

• The outcome of the work can be exported to other oil producing regions.

PDO “ Oli de Mallorca”

• 1450 hectares in 2008/2009• 118 217 liters of oil• 11 bottlers• 400 olive producers.

PDO “ Oli de MAllorca”

For the future gradual increase oil export to national and international level.

In 2002, the Protected Denomination of Origin “Oli de Mallorca” forces, according to the regulation of oil producing companies and oil producers to maintain a complete set of records with the aim to allow both the regulatory council of oil as well as the regional administration, verification of compliance with all requirements of relevant regulations for obtaining the PDO Label.

Trational procedure of Traceability

• Control done on a set of books completed by the agents of production must be completed.

• The data to fill in the books and procedures are often the same, which involves performing the same work several times and possible inconsistencies in the data from failed.

• The process is manual and in situ, no access to books until they physically come to the mills.

• This means that the conduct of these inspections is too slow, thus damaging both for firms and institutions inspectors.

What ICT can bring to this procedure?

• One and only tool to manage easily and integrated across the oil production process

• Interrelating with all stakeholders• Facilitating the registration procedures• Optimizing all the procedures with the agencies

responsible for the statements necessary to comply with current legislation

• Guarantee in quality checks• Offering a rapid response in case of health alert.

Objectives of Gest OLI Tool

• Developing and implementing all in one:• Application for the management of oil production

process.• A module to control the olive harvest. • An electronic process module with the controlling

entities. • An electronic card system based on RFID (Radio

Frequency Identification) to facilitate the processes of buying and selling of olive.

• A digital signature system that gives legal certainty to the process.

Benefits

• Incentive the use of ICT, specifically the Internet and local networks in the field of oil producing companies and oil.

• Encouraging also the use of ICT solutions, such as the electronic card

• To manage the sale and purchase and sales processes and inventory online.

Who are the beneficiaries?

• Olive producersthe use of RFID card system allows a more fluid relationship, improving their processes of buying and selling, integrating these two groups

Who are the beneficiaries?

• Olive producers

Who are the beneficiaries?

• The regulatory council and public administration

They have immediate access to production data, streamlining the various quality control procedures and enabling a rapid response in case of health alert.

Conclusions

• A total control over the production process of the oil with appellation of origin Oli de Mallorca

• A record of the actions they perform. • In real-time control over the oil and the possibility of

providing more information to the final consumer to ensure the quality of the product and more security.

• Administrative ease and control to the stakeholders thus improving productivity and efficiency of the production process.

Acknowledgments

• The Avanza Plan for the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade (MITYC), Government of Spain

• The Regional Government of the Balearic Islands through the Regional Ministry of Innovation, Internal affairs and Justice, and the Regional Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.

• The Regulatory Board of the Designation of Origin Oli de Mallorca.
