Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of e-farming implementation on the supply chain performance of sugar cane commodities in a plantation company, specifically focusing on PT. Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) X.

Research Methodology: This research used a quantitative method using survey methods by distributing questionnaires to e-farming actors/users at PTPN X. Survey research is research conducted on large and small populations, but the data studied are 352 samples from the population. The analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS 3.0 software.

Results: The results show that e-farming implementation positively and significantly affects supply chain performance. This means that to improve Supply Chain Performance, it is necessary to increase the role of the application of e-farming technology, especially application tools that can be developed to increase the effectiveness of the company’s business processes.

Conclusions: E-Farming Implementation has a positive and significant influence on Supply Chain Performance.

Limitations: This study has several limitations. It focuses only on e-farming implementation at PTPN X, limiting generalizability. The sample of 352 respondents may not represent the broader agricultural sector, and reliance on self-reported data may introduce bias.

Contributions: This study contributes theoretically by confirming the positive effect of e-farming on supply chain performance using SEM-PLS, and practically by highlighting the importance of digital technologies to improve efficiency, monitoring, and decision-making in the sugar plantation industry within the Industry 4.0 context.
