Batch traceability and origin of raw material
The system structures the relationship between farm, field, crop, delivery, raw material batch, quality check, process and finished product batch.
ARiMR 2026 grants for the agri-food sector
I.10.7.1 Processing grant: FoodPass traceability for food processors
The I.10.7.1 call supports SME investments in processing, marketing and development of agricultural products outside the farm. FoodPass can become the digital layer of the operation: supplier cooperation, batch records, quality control, audit documentation, ESG/MRV data and traceability from raw material to finished product.
The current call runs from 1 to 30 September 2026. Eligibility of IT costs should always be checked against the call documentation, rules and grant advisor guidance.
I.10.7.1 - key call parameters
The programme is dedicated to off-farm projects: processing, trade and value-chain organisation. The application should clearly show how the investment improves cooperation, quality, transparency and market development for agricultural products.

Who is the off-farm processing grant for?
The programme addresses micro, small and medium-sized enterprises that run or develop agricultural product processing or marketing activities. For FoodPass, the strongest projects are those where digitalisation is not an add-on, but a management layer for quality, suppliers and product data.
| Beneficiary | SMEs active in off-farm processing, marketing or trade of agricultural products. |
|---|---|
| Area A | Investments in processing, marketing or development of agricultural products. |
| Area B | Operations related to marketing organic products and maintaining their documentation. |
| Application channel | ARiMR Electronic Services Platform. |
How FoodPass strengthens an I.10.7.1 project
FoodPass supports operation areas that require structured data: suppliers, contracts, raw material batches, documents, audits, quality results, environmental footprint and reporting. This helps describe the digital effect of the investment in a specific, measurable and call-aligned way.
Supplier, grower and producer-group portal
FoodPass helps collect declarations, documents, certificates, delivery schedules and quality data without scattered spreadsheets.
Quality control and audits
The process covers samples, lab results, quality decisions, complaints, corrective actions and evidence archives for IFS, BRC, GLOBALG.A.P. or buyer audits.
Organic products and mass balance
For organic batches, the system supports status separation, documentation completeness, certificates, batch flow and preparation for certification-body inspections.
ERP, WMS, scale and laboratory integrations
API-based integrations reduce manual data entry by connecting operations data with quality documentation and traceability.
ESG, Scope 3 and MRV data
Data from farms, transport and plants can support environmental footprint assessment, Scope 3 reporting and measurement of waste and resource reduction effects.
What to include in the budget and operation description
In grant projects, an IT system should be linked to the purpose of the operation. In practice, this means describing which processes will be digitalised, what data will be collected and how the system improves control over the value chain.
FoodPass licences and implementation
Configuration of modules for suppliers, batches, documents, quality, traceability and reporting.
System integrations
Connecting FoodPass with ERP, WMS, weighing systems, laboratories, BI or a data warehouse.
Data migration and structuring
Importing supplier records, crops, certificates, quality parameters and delivery history.
Reports and indicators
Dashboards for quality control, compliance, waste, deliveries, batches, environmental footprint and audits.
FoodPass as a digital passport for raw material, batch and product
FoodPass connects data from farms, deliveries, quality control, storage, production and distribution. A processing plant can reconstruct batch history faster, prepare audit evidence and prove compliance with buyer requirements.
Faster audits and inspections
Evidence is connected to the right supplier, delivery, sample and product batch.
Less manual work
One data flow reduces duplicated information in spreadsheets, emails and paper binders.
Better quality decisions
Batch status, test results and documents are available before raw material enters production.
Readiness for buyer requirements
The system supports retail, certification, export customer and ESG reporting requirements.
How to prepare the digitalisation part of the application
Buying software alone does not guarantee points or a positive assessment. What matters is project coherence: objectives, costs, indicators, supplier cooperation, environmental effects and the way results will be maintained after the investment.
Connect system cost with the operation goal
Describe which processes will be digitalised and which decisions will use FoodPass data.
Show lasting value-chain cooperation
Include suppliers, growers, producer groups, delivery schedules, contracts and document workflows.
Define measurable effects
Show shorter batch reconstruction time, documentation completeness, fewer errors, lower waste and better quality control.
Plan result maintenance
Design data archiving and operating procedures so the system supports project durability after the grant is settled.
I.10.7.1 grant and the Farm to Fork strategy
A well-described digitalisation project should show the flow of information from the agricultural producer to the processing plant and on to the finished product. FoodPass supports this model by combining traceability, quality control, supplier documents and environmental data in one process.
FAQ: I.10.7.1 grant and FoodPass
Yes, if the system is logically linked to the operation goal and fits the eligible-cost catalogue as an intangible investment, IT system or process implementation element. Final eligibility must be checked in the call documentation.
It should not be presented this way. The whole project matters: processing investment, value-chain cooperation, quality, environmental and organisational effects, and the way they are measured.
FoodPass connects supplier, field, delivery, raw material batch, quality control, warehouse and production data. This enables trace-back and trace-forward and speeds up audit documentation.
No. FoodPass is especially strong in fruit and vegetables, but the supplier, batch, quality, document and traceability logic can be used more broadly across the agri-food sector.
Before the final budget and operation description. This makes it possible to connect modules, integrations, data, indicators and processes with the investment rationale.
