Abstract

Agro-allied supply chain management (ASCM) presents unique issues ranging from dependence on climate, the engagement of many actors, to the bulk of the personnel’s lack of literacy, all of which need the use of communication and information technologies (IT). The purpose of the research is to present technologies centered on the Internet of things (IoT) and describe their applicability within the agro-allied industrial supply chain of a developing nation like Nigeria. The study recognized IoT-developed technologies in the framework of ASCM based on literature. In line with the study findings, the application of IoT in the food and agro-allied sector in Nigeria may help boost the growth of the agro-allied supply chain through significant reduction of waste as well as serving users’ needs in a long-term manner. In a developing country like Nigeria, IoT-based technology can integrate multiple ASCM tasks in an industrial setting.
