Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Electronic commerce (E-Commerce) became an essential trading platform after the Covid-19 pandemic. From essential products to luxury brands, consumers can find almost everything on normal E-Commerce platforms except fresh agricultural products. Agricultural E-Commerce (AE) is introduced to overcome market needs, especially during the pandemic. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is studied and integrated with additional variables to determine the needs of AE in Malaysia. This study studied five variables (product quality, logistic service quality, perceived price & value, platform design quality, and platform security) to determine Malaysian consumers purchase intention towards AE. Five hypotheses were developed to identify the relationship between the variables. A total of 300 AE users have contributed their perceptions as respondents in this study through a survey questionnaire. The survey questionnaire was distributed through non-probability sampling techniques. The collected data were processed before the data analysis via Statistical Package for The Social Science (SPSS) version 25.0. Descriptive analysis and inferential analysis were conducted. The result shows that all five variables are significantly related to the purchase intention towards AE. The product quality has the highest significant value (0.805) towards the purchase intention on AE, followed by logistic service quality, platform security, platform design quality, and perceived price and value. Implications, limitations, and recommendations were also discussed to assist the AE stakeholders in improving their AE. 2023, Politeknik Negeri Padang. All rights reserved.
