New Agriculture Research from University of Energy and Natural Resources Discussed (A systematic review of the supply of agriproducts to supermarkets in emerging markets of Africa and Asia).

A new report from the University of Energy and Natural Resources discusses the supply of agricultural products to supermarkets in emerging markets of Africa and Asia. The research conducted a systematic review of literature from 2000 to 2022 and identified 52 peer-reviewed articles. The findings revealed that supermarkets primarily use a modernized procurement system and that factors such as pricing, quality, safety, supply stability, delivery timeliness, and trust connections influence whether supermarkets buy from small or large producers. The study suggests that supermarket managers in underdeveloped areas should practice just-in-time inventory management and integrate vendor relationship management to reduce the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables.
