Abstract: In agroindustry, specifically in Supply Chain 4.0, there are gaps when discussing technologies and qualifiers that assess the degree of maturity. This article purpose defines which are the qualifiers that evaluate Supply Chain 4.0 for agribusiness companies. A set of 158 qualifiers, associated with 13 technologies of Industry 4.0, was identified, and distributed in application and benefit. The validation was carried out through a survey with specialists, analysis of the calculation of degree of pertinence of each qualifier using the fuzzy Delphi method and analysis of the place of action. As a result, 52 qualifiers were distributed among the 13 technologies. This research contributes to the academic area by increasing publications in the agribusiness area and serving as a reference for the application of the methodology used. In the professional area, it helps assess the maturity of companies and guides the implementation process of Supply Chain 4.0.
