Towards a framework to implement a digital agriculture value chain in South Africa for small-scale farmers
Smidt, Hermanus J.; Jokonya, Osden
Digital technology adopted in agriculture value chains (AVCs) improves
efficiency. There is a need to understand why some actors benefit more than others in AVCs
and why this pattern at a global level is replicated locally.To understand how existing frameworks can enhance the understanding of Digital
for Development (D4D) associated with digital AVCs to achieve the following: Distribute
power and economic value amongst actors in the AVC more equally; retain the identity of
small-scale farmers and their sustainable practices; establish effective communication to
confront asymmetric information and the lack of access to knowledge effectively; to enhance
research, development and innovation.
