Abstract
The global potato supply chain, very important for food security and livelihoods, faces diverse challenges spanning technology, environment, and socio-economics. This paper presents a systematic literature review exploring technology, planning, achievements, challenges, and solutions within the potato supply chain. Emerging technologies hold promise for enhancing traceability, efficiency, and sustainability. However, successful adoption requires addressing economic viability, technical infrastructure, stakeholder acceptance, and regulations. Technological integration influences planning, enabling precise demand forecasting and streamlined logistics. Achievements include reduced waste and improved profitability. Challenges persist due to climate change, water scarcity, pest management, and market fluctuations. In Algeria, potential solutions include precision irrigation, pest management, and collaborative initiatives. This review offers insights for stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers, suggesting future research on decision support systems, pilot studies, and innovative business models promoting circularity within the potato supply chain.
期刊介绍:
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture provides international coverage of advancements in computer hardware, software, electronic instrumentation, and control systems applied to agricultural challenges. Encompassing agronomy, horticulture, forestry, aquaculture, and animal farming, the journal publishes original papers, reviews, and applications notes. It explores the use of computers and electronics in plant or animal agricultural production, covering topics like agricultural soils, water, pests, controlled environments, and waste. The scope extends to on-farm post-harvest operations and relevant technologies, including artificial intelligence, sensors, machine vision, robotics, networking, and simulation modeling. Its companion journal, Smart Agricultural Technology, continues the focus on smart applications in production agriculture.
