Abstract
This study examines the sustainability of Agricultural Trade Supply Chains (ATSC) from the perspective of agricultural sustainable development, with a focus on five key aspects: production, processing and storage, transportation and logistics, trade, and consumer and market. Based on an analysis of 756 academic papers published between 2013 and 2022, scientific metric techniques were used to identify changes in the field's sustainability. The study highlights opportunities for the development of a sustainable agricultural product trade supply chain, including the use of blockchain technology to improve transparency and traceability, increasing consumer demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products, corporate zero-deforestation commitments, bioenergy market expansion, and the role of farm advisors in promoting sustainable production methods. This paper contributes to a structured understanding of the status and future directions of ATSC sustainability, emphasizing the importance of joint efforts across all links of the supply chain to meet the sustainable needs of consumers and promote environmental protection and social-friendly markets.
期刊介绍:
Supply chain management (SCM) plays an essential role in managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain issues of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished products out of the organization for end-consumer delivery. The goal of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners and to improve inventory visibility. However, many SCM problems deal with uncertain events such as uncertainty in demand, supply, quality, price, etc. This forum is dedicated to all scholars who wish to share their ideas about uncertainty in SCM problems. Uncertain supply chain management is a quarterly publication dedicated to all scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Our policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and publishes original and high quality articles.
