Agricultural production is exposed to unceratinties such as weather factors, disease and pests, seasonable harvest and market cycles. Its supply chains comprise input supply (seeds, fertilizer, water, energy), production, post-harvest, storage, processing, marketing and distribution. It has a strong dependency on supply chains to reach local, regional and international markets. Logistics are a critical part of these flows, and weaknesses in them are often a major source of risk in agricultural supply chains that affect the availability, timing, traceability and quality of goods.
