Modern technology is rapidly altering and enhancing all aspects of our lives. The cloud computing is a game changing phase of IT that provides several benefits. There are some significant issues to be solved in effective deployment of the cloud computing for agriculture sector. Introducing integration of the cloud computing and Internet of things into agricultural development will most likely take care of the issues related to these social purposes. Agriculture is the embodiment of large amount of ancient knowledge. The accumulation and sharing knowledge has resulted in better productivity and efficiency. Agriculture has traditionally been maintained by families and communities, where passing and sharing knowledge is regarded is very important. Based on major characteristics of cloud computing and key features of the internet of things innovations can help development in rural areas. Supply chains are increasingly virtualized with the objective of building a synchronizing supply with demand, competitive infrastructure, creating net value and measuring performance. This work focuses on how Cloud Computing and IoT together enhances virtualization of supply chains in agribusiness portion coming up with knowledge based software as a service. The proposed framework provides less or no expenditure, on-demand, efficient agricultural knowledge management. It gives a centralized knowledge bank which plays an important role in agriculture sector, also for agribusiness associated with supply chains.
