What is AgroGrid
• AgroGrid is a Business Experiment within FP6 EU-Project BEinGRID
• BEinGRID www.beingrid.eu – Project start date: 1st June 2006– Duration: 42 months (Nov 2009)– Budget: 24.7 M Euros – Consortium: 95 partners – 25 Business Experiments (BEs) designed to implement and
deploy Grid solutions in industrial key sectors.
• AgroGrid: applying Grid in agriculture food domain – start date: March 2008– Duration: 12 Months– 4 partners
Motivation: Situation Today
• Participants in agricultural food markets interoperate in fixed supply chain structures with long term contract relations
• High market mismatch: Many small primary producers face few large food retail companies
• Tracking and tracing in isolated and in parts paper-based systems on enterprise level
• Companies have no market for food-related overcapacities (e.g. production) and companies temporarily needing more capacities cannot find them
• High transaction costs for niche markets (e.g. special treated fruit)
According to Gartner fulfilling EU regulation 178/2002 (global tracking and tracing) requires successful Identification, Tracking and Collaboration
Motivation: Why AgroGrid
AgroGrid offers a full lifecycle solution for a dynamic capacity market with integrated Tracking & Tracing and automated SLA-Monitoring & SLA-Evaluation in the agriculture domain
• A Grid-based market place for capacities in agriculture & food domain
• Dynamic Virtual Organizations around a certain product purpose
• SLA-Monitoring & -Evaluation ensuring contracts and fulfillment
• Quality monitoring and efficient gap-free decentralized tracking & tracing using already established GTNet (Global Traceability Network) infrastructure
Scenario• Roles
– Producer (of apricots) – Consolidator– Retailer– Logistics Company

Contract based relationships between members
• Supply Chain as a VO (hub & spoke model)
• Supply chain manager manages membership of partners in the supply chain
• Steps:
• Capacity Publication
• Capacity Query
• Negotiation
• Contracting

Conclusions
• AgroGrid applies Grid concepts to IT in food domain• AgroGrid establishes Grid based market place• Composition of dynamic supply chains through VO approach• Monitoring and Evaluation of SLAs ensures food safety in
dynamic supply chains • Aggregated Monitoring concept is used to hide supply chain
structure from competitors• Realization of AgroGrid is based on BEinGRID components,
