| Summary: | A rapid agricultural supply chain risk
assessment, recently developed by the World Bank,
constitutes a useful tool for a system-wide approach to
identify risks, risk exposure, the severity of potential
loses, and options for risk management either by supply
chain participants (individually or collectively) or by
third parties (government). Supply chain risk management is
the systematic process of managing the most damaging events
that can negatively affect the supply chain, and their
likely incidence and impact(s). The proposed unit of
analysis for risk and risk management assessment is the
supply chain, logistics and communications are embedded in
all these flows, and poor logistics and communications are
often a major source of risk facing an agricultural supply
chain. The agri-food system also includes farmers and a
diverse range of firms, including backward-linked input
suppliers and forward-linked intermediaries, processors,
exporters, wholesalers, and retailers. |
