Eggs are the best nutritional food after mother’s milk. But have you ever asked yourself about where the eggs that you consume come from? Is it safe to consume all types of eggs that are available to us in the market? And also do you think tracing and tracking of the eggs is important for we consumers to eat healthy and safe foods?

After collecting the eggs from the farms, they sort them as per their respective farms. The SAF team will then enter the producer's name, farm location, breed, laying date, and the distance the eggs travelled before arriving at the production facility into the AgriClear. After all of the required information from the production has been entered into the system, the eggs are processed in the processing department. They verify the eggs for quality, choose eggs that are comparable in size and colour.

- Distribution
After the eggs have been processed and quality checked, the eggs are packaged, and all of the data acquired from the time of production until the date of packaging is entered into the AgriClear system. Then, the eggs from the specific farm are recorded in the system's into different batches, which include the processing time, packing date, and a QR code label attached to each package of eggs.
Then after, each package of eggs is dispatched to the logistic department and then they send it to the various marketplace.
