The paper explains the working principle and features of RFID technology. The vegetable supply chain contains vegetable cultivation, processing, storage, transportation and retailing in China. The RFID technology adoption will improve the effeciency of these vegetable supply chains. Meanwhile, this paper explores the existing challenges and obstacles to RFID´s quick adoption in vegetable supply chain, which include technology challenges, standard challenges and cost challenges. The RFID technology has not widely used in Chinese vegetable enterprises and and it is expected to be adopted in future.
