Summary Nowadays, the adoption of digital technologies getting a significant pace. It has potential to improve existing dynamics food supply chains and its transparency. Many times, uncertainties prevail in chain performance systems, which cause amplification risk. These are due lack product traceability mechanisms chains. Hence, it becomes vital harness like Internet Things, Blockchain, common platforms flow information products chain. The presented work is aimed at assessing impact on risk identification mitigation dynamics. For same, risks assessed relative strategy by two‐stage methodology preference rating approach. Here, impacts under consideration quantified every for better depiction transformation yields broadening implication perspectives operational, strategic tactical levels makes them future‐ready.
