Bangladesh is one of the countries in South-Asian Region, which is dominated by agricultural production and the major portion of the rural livelihood is surviving on this sector. But the rural farmers of the country are still living under the poverty line. On the other hand, food safety and food adulteration problem currently are the burning issues not only in Bangladesh but also in other developing countries as well. Due to improper knowledge about agricultural technique, market price and poor infrastructural facilities in supply chain, a large amount of perishable agricultural products like fruits and vegetables becoming unsafe for the consumers. The traditional value supply chain system is dominated by middlemen, who are responsible for poor economic condition of farmers and food safety issues as well. Therefore, it is essential to replace the traditional supply chain system by some technology supported new system which not only improve the food safety situation but also empower the rural smallholder farmers through economical benefit. This conceptual paper proposes the implementation of some technological system in the value chain from production to the consumption. The major focus of such concept is to develop the awareness among producers and consumers which will be supported by a proper supply chain system. |
