Bibliometric analysis reveals impact of government policies on market efficiency and technology adoption, suggesting paths for enhanced digital integration.
The digitalization of agricultural markets has become a transformative force, with government policies playing a pivotal role in promoting market integration, transparency, and efficiency. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of global equivalents to India’s e-National Ag-Agriculture Market (e-NAM), focusing on technology adoption, market efficiency, and policy frameworks. From an initial pool of 1,500 research articles retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science, 285 relevant studies were selected for detailed analysis. The findings identify major digital agricultural platforms worldwide, including the Farmers Market Coalition in the USA, EU-wide agricultural trade initiatives under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), Australia’s National Farmers’ Federation digital programs, and China’s e-commerce-driven agricultural trade systems. Comparative analysis reveals that the USA and EU emphasize regulatory frameworks and farmer cooperatives, while China and Australia prioritize digital infrastructure and e-commerce-led–led integration. Despite notable progress, challenges persist across regions, particularly regarding digital literacy, infrastructure limitations, and fragmented policy implementation. Bibliometric trends show an increasing research focus on government interventions, digital infrastructure, and transparency mechanisms. The study underscores the importance of enhancing platform interoperability, improving digital literacy among farmers, and fostering international collaboration. These insights provide actionable policy recommendations for strengthening digital agricultural markets and ensuring long-term sustainability-ity through informed governance and technological innovation.
