Keywords: smart farming technology, technology development, bibliometric analysis

                    
Abstract: Smart Farming Technologies are instrumental in the agriculture industry with the ability to boost the production of farm crops and livestock, improve the quality, control resource usage, and ensure sustainability while maximizing profit and minimizing the cost of production. In this review, we pursue a bibliometric analysis of the development of Smart Farming Technologies in Malaysia. Using bibliometric data of 204 research articles from the Scopus database, this review sheds light on the leading authors, countries, institutions, outlets, articles, and themes of transfer pricing research over 50 years (1979–2022). Findings of this review suggest that there is a need for SFT research to connect the technologies and the collected data in order to automate decision-making strategies.
