Sustainable agriculture is vital for food security and environmental conservation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where smallholder farmers encounter challenges like limited resources market access. E-commerce platforms offer potential solutions by enhancing connectivity sustainable practices. This review assesses the impact of such on region, analysing literature, reports, case studies from 2010 to 2024 sourced databases Google Scholar Scopus. Inclusion criteria focused access, economic outcomes, sustainability. Findings indicate that e-commerce notably improve leading better prices reduced post-harvest losses. They also facilitate information flow, encouraging However, as digital literacy infrastructure deficits persist. positively influence SSA improving access supporting Overcoming barriers through policy interventions capacity-building crucial maximising these benefits. Further research needed explore long-term impacts scalable models.

Regulatory technologies (RegTechs) are a set of electronic and digital applied to check compliance in industrial processes. Such applications also aim simplify the process data collection exchange according expected format over cloud or internet. Industrial processes required meet basic regulatory requirements law follow industry practices. Industry practices must be compliant with requirements. need high level privacy protect individual participant’s from competitors but revealed relevant agencies. However, there cannot standard procurement method, as different for businesses often involve various stages aims. Also, may changed time. These challenges can addressed an online system that uses large language models (LLM) perform continuous checks. With LLMs, RegTech easily scaled up new It help analysis reformatting stakeholders RegTech, such producers, supply chains, regulators, financial institutions. acceptable values regards through either numeric comparisons enumerations matching. In this paper, we propose comprehensive framework backed by LLM web services.

Introduction Technological change is a mega trend that drives sustainable development in the agrifood sector globally. The introduction of BanQu, blockchain-enabled platform, aimed to address challenges like lack transparency, side-selling, and unfair pricing Uganda's barley value chain, but its acceptance has been slow. While blockchain adoption thrived developed countries large supply chains, empirical evidence on uptake among smallholder farmers Sub-Saharan Africa, especially Uganda, remains limited. This study investigates determinants farmers' intentions accept technology (BCT) Uganda. Methods utilized second extension Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2), customized fit context. Quantitative data were gathered from 245 Bukwo Kween, two leading barley-producing districts eastern analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results discussion showed perceived usefulness (PU) significantly influenced behavioral intention (BI) shaped ease use (PEU). Subjective norms (SUN) voluntariness (BV) enhanced PU, while control (PBC) improved PEU. Notably, BCT relevance (BR) directly BI, bypassing PU. These findings provide fresh insights into rural adoption, highlighting PU's influence PEU BV's role shaping recommends emphasizing benefits such as reducing transaction costs, leveraging social networks, addressing resource gaps boost acceptance. advances understanding emerging economies
