IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF AGRICULTURAL SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

Abstract

This research is based on different risk involved in supply chain of agricultural. The literature review examines the challenges facing rural agricultural supply chains in various regions, particularly in Ghana, Ethiopia, and the Philippines. The primary focus is on the detrimental effects of inadequate transportation infrastructure, including poorly maintained roads and limited access to transportation networks. These challenges contribute to high transportation costs, post-harvest losses, and reduced agricultural output. Moreover, the prevalence of pests, diseases, and natural disasters further exacerbates the vulnerabilities of these supply chains. Despite the significance of agricultural production as a source of livelihood and economic activity in these regions, the constraints imposed by transportation limitations hinder market access, increase input prices, and impede overall economic growth. Strategies to address these challenges must prioritize investments in transportation infrastructure, market information systems, and resilience-building measures against environmental risks. FMEA method is applied to assess and prioritise the agricultural supply chain risks. It is use to analysis the level of risks.
