Abstract

Research on agrifood supply chains has grown in recent years; however, little attention has been given to the effect of the choice of distribution channel on the sustainable and resilient performance of the network. This research proposes a system dynamics model to evaluate different distribution channels for a fresh food supply chain in a developing country. Among the main results is that the use of food hubs in a channel distribution produces long-term environmental, social and resilience benefits for the entire network, while short supply chains are the most economically viable alternative.
