As one of the main food crops in the world, the rice quality and safety situation is not optimistic, the development of rice traceability system has become a hot topic at home and abroad. This paper summarizes the research status of rice traceability technology from two aspects including the origin diagnosis technology (such as: physical index fingerprint technology, stable isotope technology, multi-element analysis technology, near-infrared spectroscopy technology) and the traceability system technology (such as: physical identification technology, information coding technology, information transmission technology). Based on this analysis, the development trend of rice traceability system was analyzed, and new technologies will continue to be applied to the traceability system.
