Abstract

Big Data has been a widely discussed topic over the past few decades, and the trend of increasingly applying it prevails in multiple industries -- agriculture has been one of them. This article investigates the state-of-art application of Big Data along the agricultural supply chain by dividing it into five sections: primary production, food processing, retailing, customer, and logistics and distribution. Furthermore, this article examines the change brought by Big Data in altering the entire business model of food products by eliminating intermediaries; most typically, creating the type of B2B/B2C e-commerce supply chain. The negative and positive implications of this change are also discussed.
