Supply chain management has played a very important role in improving organizational effectiveness at every possible level. The supplies of products from farm gate to retail level constitute the supply chain management. The consumer demand for variety, quality, and year round availability that has provided the stimulus for the formation of these chains. For Nigeria to move closer to unlocking its full agriculture potential, the value chain have to be identified, mapped, prioritized and digitized. The findings reveal that Information technology (IT) play an overwhelming role to put together and streamline the supply chains and supply chain management in full. This supply chain also requires a continuous cold chain during various steps along its network. Currently, technologies like RFID, GPS, Data recorder, Blockchain are used with Information technology (IT) mainly in tracking and tracing the products right from the field to the consumer. The purpose of this paper is to discuss various technologies and their applications in the agricultural sector and to show how those technologies can impact supply-chain management.
