Track and Trace Background
Track & Trace sometimes called Seed-to-Sale is a technological system used to oversee the complete cannabis production cycle.
Each stage of the complete supply-to-retail-chain is monitored and recorded in a centralized database, generally operated by a government agency. Track & Trace systems may also be used for tax reporting or regulatory oversight.
