Digital Transformation in Agricultural Supply Chains Enhances Green Productivity: Evidence From Provincial Data in China

Abstract As global agricultural systems strive to achieve a balance between productivity and sustainability, digital technologies are increasingly recognized for their transformational potential in optimizing supply chain processes. However, the empirical understanding of how digitalization affects green agricultural productivity, especially in developing economies, remains limited. This study explores the influence of digital transformation on green productivity in China's agriculture based on provincial data from 2011 to 2023. The findings reveal that digitalization significantly enhances green productivity, with the consumption stage exerting the greatest effect. Moreover, digital agricultural solutions reduce crop disaster rates, thereby improving resilience and further driving green productivity. These results emphasize the critical role of digitalization in fostering sustainable agricultural practices.
