UNDERSTANDING THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN IN AGRICULTURE

Abstract

The global supply chain in agriculture is a complex and dynamic network that connects production, processing, distribution, and consumption across borders. This paper explores the intricacies of this network, emphasizing the interdependence of countries, industries, and technological systems that enable the movement of agricultural commodities worldwide. Factors such as climate change, trade policies, technological innovation, and geopolitical tensions are examined in relation to their impact on the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of the agricultural supply chain. This study highlights key challenges, including disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing environmental concerns, while proposing strategic interventions to enhance the adaptability and security of global agricultural systems.
