This paper formulates a two-echelon single-producer multi-buyer supply chain model, while a single product is produced and transported to the buyers by the producer. The producer and the buyers apply vendor-managed inventory mode of operation. It is assumed that the producer applies economic production quantity policy, which implies a constant production rate at the producer. The operational pa...

Table grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is considered to be one of the most popular fruit crops in world. Italy leading table-grape producer EU and main European exporting country. However, stay competitive, new solutions perspectives, including varietal renovation, are now needed addition already well-established Italian production lines consisting conventional open-field cultivation greenhouse cultiv...

In this paper, we consider a network of supplier, producer, retailer and customer which synchronizes a series of inter-related business process in terms of integrated supply chain production inventory model. The whole system is considered for a finite time period with imprecise inventory costs. There are imprecise chance constraints on the transportation costs for both producer, retailer and al...

the present study was focused on supply chain analysis of fresh guava in order to evaluate existing marketing supply chains (sc1: producer - consumer, sc2: producer - retailer - consumer, sc3: producer - commission agent - retailer - consumer, sc4: producer - commission agent - wholesaler - retailer - consumer) for two variety (allahabad safeda and apple guava) of guava. the gross marketing pri...

2 Every year millions of grafted seedling tomato plants are loaded into refrigerated trucks and shipped to greenhouses in Arizona, Texas and other states. Grafted seedlings combine high-producing tomato varieties with diseaseresistant rootstocks. Although the demand is high, the production of these high quality transplants is not yet widespread in the United States. Rather, greenhouse producers...

Recent research has shed light on the cost-effective contribution that agriculture can make to global greenhouse gas abatement; however, the resulting impacts on agricultural production, producer livelihoods, and food security remain largely unexplored. This paper provides an integrated assessment of the linkages between land-based climate policies, development, and food security, with a partic...
