Samenvatting

The research presented in this paper aims to outline how digital supply chain compliance management platforms can benefit and add value to the fresh produce industry. It seems that increased quality risks confront global food supply chains due to the accelerated complexity of supply chains (Aung & Chang, 2014; Behnke & Janssen, 2020; Priefer et al., 2016). Researchby Astill et al. (2019) explains that transparency becomes vital to establishing food safety and gaining the trust of customers and consumers. Pettey (2018) explains that there is a great potential to implement modern technologies that allow food supply chains to become more transparent. A new digital supply chain compliance management platform facilitates the process of retrieving, managing, and sharing compliance information in the fresh produce sector and appears to support the development of sustainable, safe, transparent, and socially just fresh produce supply chains (Broersen, 2019).
