Abstract

Small-scale horticultural farmers in Limpopo, South Africa have struggled to gain full market access and lag large-scale farmers in terms of technology and the necessary resources to engage in e-commerce. This study assesses the impact of e-commerce on the supply chain of horticultural commodities for small-scale farmers in the Limpopo. Using a quantitative research approach, the study targeted 200 small-scale farmers specializing in horticultural commodities. The study used a random sampling technique to select 100 participants. The key results are that e-commerce provided farmers with accurate information for decision-making, reduced costs in the supply chain, and increased the efficiency of fresh produce delivery to customers. However, e-commerce has not enabled small-scale farmers to charge competitive prices for their produce. Research implications: The South African government is advised to prioritize investment in rural connectivity where most of these small-scale farmers are located, connecting farmers' organizations with e-commerce platforms. The government is also encouraged to collaborate with the private sector to enhance the organizational and commercial capacities of farming organizations.
