Abstract
Malaysia agriculture sector has been heavily impacted by the pandemic and thus disrupted the agricultural food supply chain since early 2020. The problems of lack of labor, less production, movement restriction, market close, all has led to dramatically drop of income or even zero-income specially impacted the smallholders. Agriculture supply chain needed to be strengthened through a tighten collaboration between the sector’s supply chain stakeholders. Technology always the solutions for most of the problems, data can be collected through technology solutions such as Internet of Things, market insight can be achieved by artificial intelligent analysis and prediction, and such. The paper focuses on introducing the supply chain connectivity through an information sharing platform, Agrolink. It is an aggregator of the information resources that link all the elements of the agricultural food supply chain in Malaysia, which accessible by farmers, producers, service providers of the supply chain (including processing, logistics, finance, retail, etc.), agriculture food associations, government agencies, and educational research institutions. The paper discusses the methodologies adopted to build the information toolbox.
