The Impact

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.

Risk Mitigation Strategies

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology to analyze the risks present in perishable food supply chain and to determine the most effective risk mitigation strategies. It is achieved by understanding the dynamics between various risks in perishable food supply chain and modeling them using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). Design/methodology/approach Four categories and 17 types of risk are established from literature and conducting brainstorming sessions with managers/engineers in Indian dairy firms. A methodology is proposed using ISM, risk priority number and risk mitigation number to prioritize risk mitigation strategy decisions for the dairy industry. Findings For a perishable food supply chain, risk positioned at lower levels (levels 1 or 2) in the hierarchy should be targeted first, while formulating mitigation strategies. To investigate further, risk- enabling factors which are identified for an Indian dairy firm for these levels 1 and 2 risks and mitigation strategy prioritization show that supplier side risks are more dominant followed by market risks and process risks. Research limitations/implications This proposed methodology has not been statistically validated or empirically tested, and factors taken are in the Indian context, but the authors believe that the study is highly relevant to other markets as well because the ISM-based analysis is for generic perishable food supply chain environment. Practical implications This study provides a useful approach to managers/decision makers to identify, analyze and prioritize risk in the supply chain. It also provides insights into the mutual relationships of supply chain risks which would help them to focus on the effective risk mitigation strategies formulation. The study provides the insights to benchmark and risk management in the dairy industry environment with priority considerations. Originality/value This paper provides an integrated approach to identifying, quantify, analyze, evaluate and mitigate the risks of perishable food (in the dairy environment) in the Indian context.

The Cost

Improving quality visibility along a food supply chain has been considered as a critical driver of quality risk mitigation, safety and security assurance, and performance sustainability. This paper explores the coordination mechanisms in a food supply chain, where the demand and costs are sensitive to the supply chain quality visibility that depends on an upstream supplier and a downstream retailer jointly, and the effort to improve quality visibility is increasingly expensive. After comparing the centralized and decentralized supply chain models to discover an opportunity for Pareto improvement, it is proved that a pure revenue-sharing contract fails to coordinate the supply chain, while the price discount contract with effort alignment policy or effort cost-sharing policy works. The two coordinating contracts’ boundary conditions of excluding deviated actions are presented. It is shown that the contract with effort alignment policy is cheaper but more rigid, whereas the cost-sharing one allows us to arbitrarily allocate the supply chain’s profits despite more information being collected. The models are applied to a fresh chicken supply chain in order to verify their effectiveness and robustness in reality. The impacts of several specific parameters on supply chain decisions and performances are analyzed, and the results reveal some meaningful managerial implications regarding supply chain quality visibility.

Composite Reliability

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.
