In this paper, the authors considered theoretical approaches to family farming as a special form of social-and-economic organization, which is the most reliable mechanism for mass recruitment of rural population into the economy and optimization of material and information flows, cooperative ties of value creating participants in order to satisfy consumers in comparison with large agricultural holdings. The US experience indicates the possibility of harmonious combination of developed industry and commodity family farms in economic complexes.

This study is conducted to build an assessment scale on stakeholders' readiness level to apply blockchain technology to the agricultural supply chain. By referencing the theoretical model of Technology - Organization - Environment (TOE) combined with the qualitative research step, the study proposed a new scale with 65 observed items and 18 factors. Next, the study carries out a quantitative research step based on the case of the pork supply chain in Hue.

This study aims to explore the influence of information systems, e-technology, and the dynamics of the actors (consumer, retailer, intermediaries, transporter, farmer, and basic suppliers) on the organic supply chain enhancing the growth of the organic business. By adopting secondary data with collected data (primary data) using selfadministrated questionnaires the research work was evaluated. A total of 389 responses from the organic agriculture industrial actors, consumers, and transporters were collected using stratified random sampling methods.

The export potential of a country determines the development of its economy, profit-making organizations, and a high level of competitiveness in the world markets of goods. Supply chain management can be utilized in export system to improve the efficiency and make it easy for the receiver and sender. So, in this paper impact of the supply chain management in agricultural potential for export investigated. In addition, a high share of exports characterizes the internal supply of goods, the ability to produce it at lower costs than competitors.
