Abstract
The paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the beef traceability by identifying its benefits and costs. It proposes the comparative view over several qualitative and quantitative papers to the reader. The review also includes the reason of applying traceability into food supply chain, especially into livestock. Moreover, in the literature, different types of traceability models were extensively discussed. Also the literature review provides detailed information on functions of traceability. Furthermore, this research will analyze the various traceability applications in different countries around the globe. The analysis of various traceability applications in other countries is done by the use of existing experiences comparatively. The different traceability systems in other countries are compared with each other to identify common and unique characteristics that each system has. The comparative analysis of different traceability applications in other countries will help us to measure the ability of U.S. Small and Medium Sized Enterprises to obtain compliance with the requirements of system The paper depicts a very important theory that involves a monopolistic competitive market model of a firm aiming at maximizing profit by applying a traceability system. The model also lays out the extra revenue that will be brought in by the application of traceability and cost that will be incurred by the firms.
