Traceability systems implementation in the cases under study

Case	Role in the supply chain	Traceability system (type)	Technology to transmit information to customers	Information breadth			Information depth
Case	Role in the supply chain	Traceability system (type)	Technology to transmit information to customers	Regulatory (origin, ingredients, basic safety information)	Additional: Quality and safety information	Sustainability practices	Granularity level	How in depth upstream?
A	Roaster	Blockchain-based (Integrated)	QR code on the packaging	X	X	Proper income to farmers	Single SKU: Blockchain-based traceability	Producers
B1	Retailer	Integrated management system (Integrated)	QR code on the packaging	X	X	Proper income to farmers, helping farmers in keeping up their businesses	Two SKUs	Producers (generally organized in cooperatives)
B2	Retailer	Third party certification (Advanced)	(Proprietary) certification label on the packaging	X	X		Most of the product lines	Producers
