Ensuring Readiness:

Agritrack and the Revised EU Fisheries Control Regulation (EU) 2023/2842

Your Solution for "Electronic Traceability Available Without Delay"
– Fully Compliant by 2026

The Revised EU Fisheries Control Regulation aims to better control the Common Fisheries Policy and combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Digital-traceability obligations apply to fishery and aquaculture products placed on the EU market from 10 January 2026. Agritrack structures, stores, and exchanges this data according to internationally recognized standards (GDST, GS1 EPCIS 2.0), ensuring full compliance with Article 58.
