Abstract

Digitalizing finance in the agricultural value chain encompasses integrating digital technologies and financial services to improve the transparency, accessibility, and efficiency of financial transactions within the agricultural sector. This chapter focuses on expatiating the strategies and mechanisms for financing the agricultural value chain in this digital age, specifically in emerging economies and for smallholder farmers. It also offers managerial and practical implications of digital finances in the agricultural value chain. It summarizes that with digital finance, managers in the agriculture value chain can leverage data-driven insights, enhanced risk management tools, and improved operational efficiencies to make better decisions and drive growth. Also, practical implications indicate that digital finance increases access to financial services, enhances productivity, promotes sustainability, and builds capacity among farmers and agribusinesses. It suggests that integrating digital financial solutions will enable the agricultural value chain to become more efficient, resilient, and inclusive, ultimately contributing to the economic development and food security of emerging economies and enhancing the competitiveness of agribusiness in the global market.
