“…Similar studies have reported that the elderly are less likely to venture into new technologies and/or innovations, as their energy is limited (Berkowsky et al, 2017). On the other hand, gender only influenced frequency of production, with majority being youth and risk takers especially the female gender (Canevari-Luzardo, 2019). The dominance of any business is determined by a number of factors, food business especially in the African context would be determined by the social culture where most of the cooking is usually left to the female gender (Gurung et al, 2016).…”

This study aimed at profiling bakers and fryers of wheat products in Nairobi to inform decisions leading towards incorporation of Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) puree in these products. An exhaustive sampling was carried out and 748 processors were interviewed in Nairobi County. The results indicate that even though there were more female processors than men, this difference was not significant (p>0.05). Majority of processors and consumers were youths and there was low adoption of OFSP as an ingredient (4%). However, about 78% of the processors were willing to adopt OFSP puree as an ingredient. Moreover, the youths dominated the micro-enterprises presumably because they have a lot of energy as well as huge potential for innovation. Major customers were street passerby as majority operated roadside kiosks or hotels while location had significant (p<0.05) influence on willingness to adopt OFSP, production trends, main customers as well as markets for the products. The survey recommends capacity building among the Micro-Small-Medium-Enterprises (MSMEs) in order to be able to adopt nutritious ingredients such as Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) puree as a way of improving food and nutrition security for the masses that rely on fried and baked products.

“…Besides, there is a need to perform further research focusing on long-term strategies, innovative policies, legal instruments and institutional arrangements [123]. For instance, future research may focus on network thinking, which can be instrumental in understanding adaptation constraints in a systematic way and can be used to inform interventions to improve network dynamics for the benefit of MSMEs' adaptive capacity [116,124]. In addition, investigations may focus on blockchain technology as a big opportunity in agricultural business and agrifood supply chains in the digital economy [125].…”

A Novel Taxonomy for Risks in Agribusiness Supply Chains: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2021

Agribusiness supply chain (ASC) risk is currently a major business problem throughout the world. The current trend of globalisation has affected every business, and supply chain risks have become a concern in logistics and other business processes. Current risk management strategies must address a variety of global and local challenges. To tackle this issue, existing research has analysed risks in agrifood supply chains, ASC risk management, disruption in ASCs, risk assessments of agriculture supply chains and sources of risk facing an agricultural supply chain. However, the existing research has not defined and categorised risks as a basis for managing risks in ASCs. Therefore, the definition and categorisation of risks in the ASC has been overlooked. To address this gap, this paper undertakes a systematic literature review, offering constructs to define and categorise risks in ASCs, and develops a novel taxonomy in ASC risks to enrich future research on ASC risk management. Sixty-one articles from six databases published between 2000 and 2020 underwent descriptive and thematic analysis.

“…Continuing the field of agricultural value chain resilience, McIntyre et al (2019) identified resilience and adaptability as supporting attributes in agribusiness value creation. Canevari-Luzardo (2019a) examines the relationship between the value system network structure and agribusiness’s ability to adapt to climate change and emphasizes a resilient system’s ability to enhance the adaptive capacity of its actors. Finally, Olafsdottir et al (2018) reports on the VALUMICS project for value chains modeling in food systems with the explicit goal of resilience quantification.…”

Purpose Value chain analyses that help businesses build competitive advantage must include considerations of unpredictable shocks and stressors that can create costly business disruptions. Enriching value chain analysis with considerations of system resilience, meaning the ability to recover and adapt after adverse events, can reduce the imposed costs of such disruptions. Design/methodology/approach The paper provides a perspective on resilience as both an expansion and complement of risk analysis. It examines applications of both concepts within current value chain literature and within supply chain literature that may inform potential directions or pitfalls for future value chain investigations. Established frameworks from the broader field of resilience research are proposed for value chain resilience analysis and practice. Findings The synthesis reveals a need to expand value chain resilience analysis to incorporate phases of system disruption. Current explorations in the literature lack an explicit acknowledgement and understanding of system-level effects related to interconnectedness. The quantification methods proposed for value chain resilience analysis address these gaps. Originality/value Using broader resilience conceptualizations, this paper introduces the resilience matrix and three-tiered resilience assessment that can be applied within value chain analyses to better safeguard long-term business feasibility despite a context of increasing threats.
