Traditionally, EDI utilizes value-added network (VAN) as the bridge of communication. In recent years, with the fast growing of the Internet, Internet EDI has been in place of traditional VAN EDI. It is expected that the Internet EDI will soon be applied widely. Extensible markup language (XML) was proposed in 1996. One of its main purposes is facilitating document exchanges through WWW. In July 1997, the idea of integrating XML and EDI was proposed by the XML/EDI group. The goal of XML/EDI is to help enterprises, regardless of its size, make business easily with other enterprises global-wide. The objects of this research are to thoroughly investigate XML/EDI, propose a feasible application framework on agricultural marketing, and develop a prototype based on XML/EDI. In accordance with the experiences obtained from system development, this research also proposes the general steps of XML/EDI installment to the industries who are interested in the application of XML/EDI. Keywords：Electronic data interchange, Internet EDI, XML, agricultural marketing
