The overall aim of the eFoodChain project is to improve the competitiveness and efficiency of the agro food industry in Europe by stimulating an innovative and seamless use of ICT along its value chain. SMEs, that represent more than 99% of companies and generate approximately half of the industry turnover, are the focus of this action as the objective is to facilitate their participation in the global digital food value network and enable them to become international business partners.
This document is the first release of the Work package (WP) 2 (Market analysis) report of the eFoodChain project. The goal of WP2 is to conduct an in-depth market analysis in terms of the current use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and eBusiness solutions currently used in agro-food supply chain management. This analysis is focused on the current situation regarding the adoption of e-Business solutions in European SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) of three agro food sectors.
