Abstract:This study attempts to determine the optimal production and pricing decisions of E-Agri-SCF (agricultural product supply chain financed by e-commerce) and analyzes the influence of financing parameters on the optimal decision. Research indicates that the optimal purchase price decision increases with the expansion of the financing interest rate and declines with the expansion of the capital opportunity cost. The expected output factor of agricultural products has no influence on the optimal purchase price deci… Show more
“…Due to the popularity of e-commerce, the opportunities for agricultural enterprises to use supply chain finance for capital replenishment have greatly increased. The decrease in financing interest rates and the increase in capital opportunities will positively affect farmers' optimal production decisions and increase their expected returns [6]. In the financing process, leveraging the coordinating role of intermediary platforms can significantly improve the welfare of farmers and the total profit of the supply chain, while also fulfilling the increasing attention to social responsibility, bringing win-win results to farmers, platforms, and the entire supply chain [7].…”
Supply chain finance has brought new choices to agricultural enterprises facing funding shortages. However, due to the different credit ratings and frequent default events of participating enterprises in the chain, the promotion of agricultural supply chain finance business is hindered. This can be solved by the technical characteristics of blockchain. This study discusses the rationality and feasibility of applying blockchain technology to agricultural supply chain finance through literature review and mechanism analysis, using data from Chinese industries. The application of blockchain technology helps to build a good supply chain financial ecosystem, helping Chinese agricultural enterprises explore new financing channels and overcome financial difficulties.
