“…However, only the study of Cai et al [41] is based on game theory for the web design elements and its framework does not cover three-echelon SCM. The proposed work matches with Sarkar et al [44] for the SCM environment and application of fuzzy inference system (FIS), which is used to imply fuzzification procedure to the uncertain factors in the model. However, this work asserts multiple addition with the involvement of addition in the environment by coupling blockchain effect and web design elements.…”

The agricultural industry is highly underdeveloped and requires transformation in technology for food safety and reliability. A digital world is relying on blockchain technology for the successful implementation of sustainable e-agricultural supply chain management (e-Agri-SCM). In current advancements of blockchain in digital marketing, product website design (web design) is essential to streamline the requirements of the customer and the expectations of supply chain partners. The current research has incorporated the blockchain effect by web design elements into the agricultural supply chain management (Agri-SCM) study. In addition, partners in the digital marketing supply chain (DM-SCM) are also facing issues to identify significant web design elements-based blockchain technology to gain maximum profit. Therefore, a cooperative (Co-op) sustainable e-agricultural SCM model is developed in this study by considering the web design index and variable demand to decide shipments, selling price, cycle time, and advertisement cost for agriculture products. The uncertainties in the model due to intangible web design elements and basic costs are dealt with by the application of the fuzzy system whereas carbon emission is also considered for providing cleaner production. A real-time application of the proposed model is done by undertaking five different cases based on mutual share, demand curve, and advertisement budget among participants. The sensitivity analysis is also performed to identify important factors of the total profit. Findings of this work include significant web design elements (WDEs) i.e., web graphics, search engine optimization, cyber-security, fast loading, and navigation, as essentials for digital marketing to convince customers towards the product in a global SCM. The numerical results and managerial insights are advantageous for managers to get maximum profit by cooperative and digital marketing strategies to attain e-Agri-SCM.

Background: This study presents a comprehensive review of blockchain technology with a sustainability orientation in supply chains and logistics. Methods: The publications are extracted from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, comprising 552 publications between 2017 and 2022. Several bibliometric laws and techniques, namely three-field analysis, Bradford’s Law, Lotka’s Law, and thematic maps, are applied in R with the bibliometrix package. Content analysis is also carried out based on 185 publications to appreciate the industry-based view of the field. Results: The bibliometric results indicate that this field is on the rise. Authors, sources, affiliations, countries, keywords, and their relationships are also addressed. The findings of the content analysis and thematic maps reveal that some of the most highlighted themes in the literature include traceability, COVID-19, the internet of things, and Industry 4.0. The most popular industry in this field is discovered to be food and agriculture. Conclusions: This paper contributes to the still relatively scarce literature on how blockchain technology fosters sustainable supply chains and logistics, providing a closer look at blockchain use, methodologies, and future directions for different industries concerning food, agriculture, fashion, textile and apparel, manufacturing, automotive, maritime and shipping, healthcare and pharmaceutical, mining and mineral, and energy.

Blockchain, also known as distributed ledger technology, is considered to have the potential to cause significant economic, political, and social transformations in India. Blockchain technology has been most helpful in understanding the source and journey of produce in agriculture. This is vital for farmers and consumers: it authorizes farmers to bargain for better prices throughout the supply chain while giving consumers confidence in knowing exactly where the produce comes from. This is crucial considering the growing lack of trust in sourcing produce sold in markets. While still challenged with fundamental limitations, Blockchain technology is a transformative Information and Communications Technology (ICT) that has changed our notion of trust. Improved efficiencies for sustainable agricultural development have been demonstrated when ICT-enabled farms have access to knowledge banks and other digital resources. The visible effects of this technology are already being noted there. This paper presents early evidence linking the use of blockchain in overcoming agricultural challenges facing India. The paper examines blockchain technology's impact and critical applications in agriculture and the food supply chain. It demonstrates how blockchain can help promote transparency, build trust and reputation, and enhance transaction efficiency. This paper looks at opportunities and key triggers for blockchain diffusion in agricultural practices in India. It also delves into challenges and obstacles developing economies will likely encounter in using blockchain.
