Abstract
The agricultural sector is a pillar of the New Zealand economy. A variety of agri-food businesses attempt to optimize their own operations with little collaboration with upstream and downstream business entities. New Zealand’s agri-food businesses face the common challenges inherent in the agri-food products. Agri-food supply chain management (ASCM) is more challenging than its counterpart in typical manufactured products, as agri-food products raise additional concerns, such as food safety and perishability. The quality and safety of agricultural products heavily relies on efficient and effective ASCM. Internet of Things (IoT) technology can monitor the storage conditions and maturity level of agri-food products. Combined with the use of big data analytics, it can predict the remaining shelf life of agri-food products for the purposes of proactive inventory management and promotion and sales decisions. A few large New Zealand and regional agribusiness firms have pioneered or are testing IoT-enabled solutions.
