Abstract

This study explores the potential of enhancing Nigeria's agricultural supply chain through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and a farm-user software platform. The Nigerian agricultural sector faces numerous challenges, including inefficient distribution networks, limited market access for smallholder farmers, and inadequate real-time data for decision-making. To address these issues, we propose a comprehensive system that combines IoT sensors for monitoring crop conditions and logistics with a user-friendly software interface connecting farmers, distributors, and consumers.
