  • It is critical for stakeholders to pursue sustainable agricultural performance that is based on achieving a balance between environmental protection, economic growth and social development.
  • Leveraging digital technologies in agri-food supply chain has achieved many successes in the food supply chain of developed economies.
  • Despite the potential benefits of digital technologies to the agri-food supply chain, adoption rate among smallholder farmers in SSA remains low.
  • A clear understanding of the low adoption of digital technologies in the agricultural context in SSA would help formulate policies to enhance the diffusion of digital technologies among smallholder farmers.
