estates and mills. The RSPO IT phase 1 project has successfully completed in six months. RSPO IT
completed
system deployed in phase 1 includes:
• AssessedTM RSPO Figure 1 Phases in RSPO IT Project with Sime Darby Plantation
TM
• Verified RSPO
After successfully concluding the RSPO IT phase 1,
we will ontinue with RSPO IT phase 2 deployment
which includes the deployment of AssuredTM
RSPO. This system helps estates and mills with all
record keeping obligations for RSPO and also
integration with SEMUA system (i.e. SAP) to

4. 1.3 Malaysia Food Information & Traceability (M
(M-FIT)
The Malaysia food information and traceability (M-FIT) system proves that it is possible to
(M t
implement an electronic food traceability system in the Malaysian environment. This pilot project
which commenced in late November 2006 has been deployed to more than 95 companies with a
200 within
period of one year.
While the technology behind the project is fully capable of supporting a national rollout, the scope
Of work was limited to a few participants to make a one year implementation period possible while
proving that it works in the Malaysian context.
Three commodities were selected to represent
three major food sources:
a. Star fruit to represent the crop sector;
b. Tiger prawn to represent the Fishery
commodity and
c. Poultry to represent the live stock.
The M-FIT project provided: Figure 4 Scope of M-FIT Project

company needs,
• integrated food industry best practices, including HACCP,
• an information backbone which links together everyone in the food chain, right through to

1.4 Traceability System for Prawn and Tra Catfish, Vietnam
This traceability project was financed by Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), a
Danish organization inside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, set up to provide
Denmark,
humanitarian help and assistance in developing countries. Our consultants have been wor
working
closely with the Vietnam National Competent Authority for Fisheries Quality Assurance and
