Risiko dan ketidakpastian selalu menjadi isu penting dalam pengelolaan rantai pasok. Khususnya dalam agri- food supply chain (AFSC), kompleksitas pengelolaan risiko dan ketidakpastian meningkat karena karakteristik produk hasil pertanian yang mudah rusak, serta sifat produksinya yang sebagian besar didasarkan pada faktor cuaca dan proses biologi yang tidak terduga. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya pengelolaan risiko yang menyajikan penilaian terhadap faktor-faktor yang dapat melemahkan daya saing dan kinerja AFSC. Penelitian ini mengintegrasikan kerangka pengukuran kinerja AFSC dan konsep Rapid Agricultural Supply Chain Risk Assessment, dengan memperhatikan aspek-aspek berkelanjutan yang meliputi aspek ekonomi (profit), sosial (people), dan lingkungan (planet). Kerangka teoritis yang dihasilkan diuji menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Kuesioner diberikan kepada 193 petani tanaman pangan yang tersebar di sentra- sentra pertanian Kabupaten Paser dan PPU. Berdasarkan analisis model konstruk (outer model), seluruh indikator memenuhi convergent validity, kecuali indikator PR12 yang berkaitan dengan risiko regulasi hukum dan birokrasi. Oleh karena itu, indikator ini dikeluarkan dari konstruk model penelitian. Setelah semua indikator tervalidasi, selanjutnya dilakukan uji reliabilitas dengan melihat nilai composite reliability dari blok indikator yang mengukur setiap konstruk. Seluruh konstruk memiliki nilai di atas 0.7, sehingga semuanya dapat dikatakan reliabel. Adapun berdasarkan analisis model struktural (inner model), dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengelolaan risiko berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja AFSC dan perspektif berkelanjutan. Akan tetapi, variabel perspektif berkelanjutan tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja AFSC.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, is a recent disease that has struck the entire world. This review is conducted to study the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to food safety as well as the food supply chain. The pandemic has caused various changes around the world as numerous countries and governments have implemented lockdowns and restrictions to help curb the rising cases due to COVID-19. However, these restrictions have impacted many aspects of everyday life, including the economic sectors such as the food industry. An overview of the current COVID-19 situation in Malaysia was discussed in this review along with its implication on food safety and food supply chain. This is followed by a discussion on the definition of food safety, the impact of the pandemic to food safety, as well as the steps to be taken to ensure food safety. Hygiene of food handlers, complete vaccination requirement, kitchen sanitation and strict standard operating procedures (SOPs) should be in place to ensure the safety of food products, either in food industries or small scale business. Additionally, the aspect of the food supply chain was also discussed, including the definition of the food supply chain and the impact of COVID-19 to the food supply chain. Travel restriction and lack of manpower had impacted the usual operation and production activities. Lack of customers and financial difficulties to sustain business operational costs had even resulted in business closure. As a conclusion, this article provides insight into crucial factors that need to be considered to effectively contain COVID-19 cases and highlights the precaution methods to be taken through continuous monitoring and implementation by Malaysian government.

Purpose The food supply chain is exposed to severe environmental and social issues with serious economic consequences. The identification and assessment of risk involved in the food supply chain can help to overcome these challenges. In response, the purpose of this paper is to develop a risk assessment framework for a typical food supply chain. Design/methodology/approach An integrated methodology of grey analytical hierarchy process and grey technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution is proposed for developing a comprehensive risk index. The opinion of the experts is used to illustrate an application of the proposed methodology for the risk assessment of the food supply chain in India. Findings Valuable insights and recommendations are drawn from the results, which are helpful to the practitioners working at strategic and tactical levels in the food supply chain for minimising the supply chain disruptions. Research limitations/implications The risk quantification for the case organisation is primarily based on inputs collected from the experts working for Indian food supply chain, and so the generalisation of the results is limited to the context of developing countries. However, the generalisability of the proposed risk quantification methodology and key insights developed in the food supply chain will assist practitioners in policy making. Practical implications The risk priorities established by this research would enable an implementation of systematic risk mitigation strategies and deployment of necessary resources for leveraging the efficiency of food supply chain. Originality/value Specifically, this research has delivered a risk quantification framework and strengthened the inquiry of risk management for the food supply chain.

Today’s food supply chain is incredibly complex and imposes enormous challenges across the Globe. Products are transported through multimodal transportation internationally, comprising of combination of ship, rail, truck and flight modes etc. The supply chain under multistage network poses more quality related issues. Hence, blockchain technology helps to enhance food safety and quality in the logistics process. This, when coupled with the existing traceability system can create more agile value chain and closer customer relationship across regions. Though, Thailand is a leading food exporter, it lacks in implementation of blockchain technology. The objective of this study is to analyse the impact of blockchain technology adoption for safe food supply chain management through System Dynamics (SD) approach from management perspectives in Thailand. The preliminary survey and discussion were carried out with the participants from food expert firms, and causal loop diagrams and stock and flow diagrams were developed and validated. The trade-off, challenges and opportunities of applying block chain technology on the global food value supply chain has been discussed throughout the system dynamics model. The major contribution of this work is in providing insight into some of the main dimensions of block chain technology and its implications for global food value chain performance improvements.
