Abstract

Purpose

Blockchain technology (BCT) has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing transparency and trust. However, the relationship between the benefits of BCT and agri-food supply chain performance (AFSCperf) remains underexplored. Therefore, the current study investigates the influence of BCT on AFSCperf and sustainability issues.

Design/methodology/approach

Through a comprehensive literature review, various benefits of BCT are identified. Subsequently, a research framework is proposed based on data collected from questionnaire surveys and personal visits to professionals in the agri-food industry. The proposed framework is validated using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).

Findings

The findings reveal that BCT positively impacts AFSCperf by improving traceability, transparency, food safety and quality, immutability and trust. Additionally, BCT adoption enhances stakeholder collaboration, provides a decentralised network, improves data accessibility and yields a better return on investment, resulting in the overall improvement in AFSCperf and socio-economic sustainability.

Practical implications

This study offers valuable practical insights for practitioners and academicians, establishing empirical links between the benefits of BCT and AFSCperf and providing a deeper understanding of BCT adoption.

Originality/value

Stakeholders, managers, policymakers and technology providers can leverage these findings to optimise the benefits of BCT in enhancing AFSCperf. Moreover, it utilises rigorous theoretical and empirical approaches, drawing on a multidisciplinary perspective encompassing food operations and supply chain literature, public policy, information technology, strategy, organisational theory and sustainability.

释放潜力:利用区块链技术促进农业食品供应链的绩效和可持续性
目的区块链技术(BCT)已成为提高透明度和信任度的有力工具。然而,人们对区块链技术的益处与农业食品供应链绩效(AFSCperf)之间的关系仍缺乏深入探讨。因此,本研究调查了业连管对农业食品供应链绩效和可持续性问题的影响。随后,根据从问卷调查和对农业食品行业专业人士的个人访问中收集的数据,提出了一个研究框架。研究结果研究结果表明,业连管通过提高可追溯性、透明度、食品安全和质量、不变性和信任度,对农业食品安全产生积极影响。此外,BCT 的采用还能加强利益相关者之间的合作,提供一个分散的网络,提高数据的可获取性,并产生更好的投资回报,从而全面提高 AFSCperf 和社会经济的可持续性。原创性/价值利益相关者、管理者、政策制定者和技术提供者可以利用这些研究结果来优化 BCT 在提高 AFSCperf 方面的效益。此外,该研究采用了严谨的理论和实证方法,从多学科角度出发,涵盖了食品运营和供应链文献、公共政策、信息技术、战略、组织理论和可持续性。
