Abstract

The prime source of income of the different countries in the SAARC region comes from the agricultural sector. Currently, this sector is facing several challenges in this entire region, threatening its growth and sustainability. Hence, if the policymakers need to improve the economic conditions of the nations, then the only way to do that is to improve the agricultural sectors of this region. This can be achieved by successful implementation of Supply Chain Management (SCM). This chapter is concerned with the concept of SCM and how it can play a vital role in developing the agricultural sectors in the SAARC countries. Another aspect of this chapter is concerned with the effectiveness of the application of SCM in agriculture; it can be implemented by using a fully integrated software package like SAP ERP. By the application of this IT software package, SCM can be made more efficient and lead to time and inventory reduction.
