This paper provides an analysis of the current state of concepts related to agricultural supply chain functioning. The concept of viable supply chains, which includes sustainability, agility, and resilience, is considered the most comprehensive. However, it is rarely applied to agricultural supply chains. The authors discuss theoretical foundations, empirical manifestations, and propose a framework for analyzing agricultural supply chain viability. Methodologies and indicators are critically examined, highlighting the importance of considering aggregation levels, supply chain coverage, and data sources in the design of analytical tools. Finally, a potential case study on agricultural supply chain viability is discussed based on theoretical findings and empirical context.
This paper focuses on the state-of-the-art analysis of the concepts relevant to the functioning of agricultural supply chains. The viable supply chains concept is considered to be the most comprehensive one that encompasses sustainability, agility and resilience. However, this concept has scarcely been applied to agricultural supply chains. Thus, we discuss the theoretical foundations and empirical manifestations of the related concepts and propose a framework for analysis of agricultural supply chain viability. The methods and indicators are discussed in a critical manner. We show that the considerations on the level of aggregation, parts of the supply chain covered and data sources are important when designing analytical tools for agricultural supply chain viability. Finally, a potential case study of agricultural supply chain viability is discussed in the light of the theoretical findings and empirical context.
