Abstract :
- India is the second largest producer of fruits
and vegetables in the world. The supply of these
materials from farm-to-fork constitute the supply chain
management. This network is complex because of the
perishable nature of the produce, difference in the
demand and supply which affects the pricing and food
safety. Information technology helps the farmer to
obtain the best agricultural practices, reports about
monsoon, current prices of fruits and vegetables and
in overcoming poor infrastructural facilities. This
supply chain also requires a continuous cold chain
during various steps along its network. Currently
technologies like RFID, GPS, Data recorder, Blockchain
are used with Information technology (IT) mainly in
tracking and tracing the products right from the field
to the consumer. In food sector the IT is mainly utilized
for the supply chain management, traceability, ecommerce, total quality management.
