Resumo

This study systematically reviews the literature on traceability in the cotton textile chain to investigate its scope in all chain links and its relationship with adding value to the product. The analysis included 31 articles published between 2014 and 2024, identified on the Scopus database. The results showed a significant emphasis on the Production and Industrialization links, with 87.1% of the articles focusing on these stages, while Retail and Consumer received limited attention. It was found that traceability adds value through transparency, sustainability, authenticity, and technological innovation, but lacks greater integration and communication in the final links. The study highlights the need for a holistic approach that aligns traceability practices with market demands for sustainability, trust, and social responsibility.
