sector in the formation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) tends to
decline, the role of the agricultural sector in absorbing labor cannot be
replaced by other economic sectors [14]. On the other hand, the
agricultural sector also contributes as a provider of industrial raw
materials, creates added value, generates foreign exchange, and
provides employment.
Supply chain is a business process that connects several actors to
increase the added value of raw materials/products and distribute
them to consumers. It should be seen that the main objective of the
supply chain is in terms of increasing added value. Thus, each actor
in the supply chain network will contribute in the form of certain inputs
or processes that can increase the value of a product. The supply
chain is broad not only in terms of increasing added value, but also to
meet consumer demand, increase competitiveness, increase profits,
and build good relationships between actors in the supply chain [1].
Thus, it is not true that the supply chain only focuses on factories or
processes, but there are other components that must be considered,
one of which is building coordination and collaboration with other
actors along the supply chain.
More specifically, Chopra and Meindl, [2] defined the supply chain is
not limited to factories and suppliers, but also needs to look at the
conditions of distributors, warehousing, retailers and even only need
to look at consumer needs. Of course, this concept brings us into the
scope of the supply discussion. Agricultural activities basically begin
with the provision of distribution facilities, agricultural production and
marketing of agricultural products or their processed products, known
as agribusiness [11]. In the midst of the proliferation of technology
startups that are generally engaged in the social, trade, game, and
entertainment sectors, it turns out that not a few are willing to focus on
developing systems that help manage agriculture, fisheries, and other
agroindustry. Seeing this potential, technology and agriculture-based
startups began to develop e-commerce businesses in the
agribusiness sector.
