DataDot in deed for seed
10:36, Friday, 2 October 2009

Sydney - Friday - October 2: (RWE Australian Business News) -
DataDot Technology (ASX:DDT) has entered into a deed with Ipeco (a
subsidiary of the Regal Grange Group) and DataTraceDNA (a joint venture
between DDT and CSIRO), to jointly commercialise breakthrough track and
trace technology.
This development follows a six-month targeted research project
during which the technology has been successfully tested by Seed
Solutions (also a subsidiary of the Regal Grange Group).
The technology enables seeds, grain and other bulk commodities
to be identified accurately and cost effectively, right down to an
individual batch number, so providing both detection of counterfeit
target commodities and a control mechanism for internal or cross border,
end-to-end supply chain management.
Counterfeiting results in losses to plant breeders and
agricultural and horticultural producers worldwide.
