1. INTRODUCTION E-commerce is developing rapidly and has penetrated almost all sectors. Agriculture is identified as being promising due to its broken supply chain.[1]After analyzing and investigating the agricultural supply chain especially the supply chain of farm produce such as vegetables and fruits, it was found to be highly inefficient due to the lack of integrity in the supply chain module.
Another factor that contributes to the complexity in the agri supply chain is that the base commodity itself is highly perishable and has a low shelf time and expires within a short span and hence they have to be moved further down the supply chain at a faster pace.Hence the participants of the supply chain are forced to sell the goods to another as soon as possible which explains why the supply chain is highly fragmented and broken. There have been other proposed solutions for this such as refrigeration equipped warehouses that can prolong the expiration date of the perishable commodities and can enable stock holding of fruits and vegetables and other farm produce before taking those to the market.
