| Summary: | The present study is based on the review of literature related to the adoption of
Agricultural Revolution 4.0 (AR4.0) technology, business performance and sustainability
dimensions. The new National Agro-food Policy 2.0 (DAN 2.0) was formulated to
transform agriculture into a more dynamic, sustainable, and competitive industry in which
the agro-food supply chain is one of the most important parts of the agricultural sector in
Malaysia. In order to boost the agriculture sector’s competitiveness and sustainability, the
sector is encouraged to fully utilize digital technology in agriculture. From this
perspective, the adoption of the Agricultural Revolution (AR4.0) could provide numerous
benefits, particularly in terms of enhancing the business performance for a sustainable
agro-food supply chain. Thus, the business world today is moving towards “Digitalization
4.0” to focus on increasing the performance that will sustain the industry. Due to greater
possibilities of economic, environmental, and social impacts along supply chain activities,
the adoption of Agricultural Revolution 4.0 (AR4.0) into the industry supply chain is
gaining more attention in the agricultural sector. The main objective of this study is hence
to generate the conceptual framework between the relationship of adoption of Agricultural
Revolution 4.0 (AR4.0) towards Agro-food supply chain (AFSC) business performances
(flexibility, delivery, quality and cost) and AFSC sustainable agricultural performance
encompassing economic, environmental and social dimensions in sustainability. The
conceptual paper signifies providing academia with additional literature to use as a
reference for future research. The findings of this research could help the agricultural
industry to leverage Agricultural Revolution 4.0 (AR4.0) technology in order to boost
their business performance. It will also be useful to policymakers in creating support
mechanisms and plans to improve the overall performance of the firm. |
