Background Information

Information has been identified as one of the major resources that flow through the VC chain. Sharing of information encourages the establishment of better relationships among trading partners. It also improves the organization of inventory, maximization of profit and the overall management of the value chain's activity. However, one major problem is that as information is being shared, it becomes vulnerable to both internal and external threats and possible distortions and disruptions, which if not properly attended to and adequately managed, could affect the overall operations of the value chain. This is where the Information Systems are being used to facilitate the sharing of information, to manage, to provide solutions and contain information threats and vulnerabilities within the value chain.

The rapid growth of mobile phone ownership globally provides new possibilities to share and access information. About half of the world’s population owns a mobile phone and this figure is much higher when children are not counted. In Lebanon more specifically and as per the study conducted by the US based “Pew Research Center” in 2016; 88% percent of Lebanese own a mobile phone, and 52% of adults in Lebanon have a smartphone, representing the 15th highest share globally and the sixth highest share among emerging countries. The rapid growth of broadband (especially mobile broadband), its high coverage for rural areas and its increasing affordability provides a great opportunity for Information Systems delivery in agriculture or e-agriculture.
