Today’s food supply chain is incredibly complex and imposes enormous challenges across the Globe. Products are transported through multimodal transportation internationally, comprising of combination of ship, rail, truck and flight modes etc. The supply chain under multistage network poses more quality related issues. Hence, blockchain technology helps to enhance food safety and quality in the logistics process. This, when coupled with the existing traceability system can create more agile value chain and closer customer relationship across regions. Though, Thailand is a leading food exporter, it lacks in implementation of blockchain technology. The objective of this study is to analyse the impact of blockchain technology adoption for safe food supply chain management through System Dynamics (SD) approach from management perspectives in Thailand. The preliminary survey and discussion were carried out with the participants from food expert firms, and causal loop diagrams and stock and flow diagrams were developed and validated. The trade-off, challenges and opportunities of applying block chain technology on the global food value supply chain has been discussed throughout the system dynamics model. The major contribution of this work is in providing insight into some of the main dimensions of block chain technology and its implications for global food value chain performance improvements.

The competition in international food markets is increasingly moving towards products with higher levels of added value and higher degrees of differentiation, requiring companies to become more market-oriented. Market orientation is ‘the extent to which an actor in the marketplace uses knowledge about the market, especially about customers, as a basis for decision-making on what to produce, how to produce it, and how to market it’. Market orientation comprises three constructs: market intelligence generation, dissemination and responsiveness. Value chain governance can facilitate market orientation requirements. Value chain governance includes network governance, contracting and informal relationships. Knowledge about how governance can facilitate a value chain’s market orientation is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore how the governance of a global food value chain can facilitate the value chain’s market orientation. The study applies a multiple case study design. Four in-depth case studies were conducted on global food value chains from New Zealand to Western Europe dealing with the products apples, kiwis, venison and lamb. Interviews were conducted with actors from these four value chains in the Netherlands as well as in New Zealand. In each value chain actors with similar functions were interviewed in order to make the results comparable. Analysis of the case studies shows that network governance (i.e. leadership, shared governance and facilitation), contractual agreements (i.e. type and content: price, volume, quality) and informal relationships (i.e. trust and commitment) can contribute to the market orientation of a value chain. Leaderships and shared governance, in combination with good informal relationships in the chain, as well as contractual incentives, are main contributors to market orientation in global fresh food value chains. The paper adds to the still very scarce literature on governance of value chains and market orientation of value chains.

Value Concept

AbstractPurpose: This paper aims to identify social and environmental issues in value chain of food companies to create shared value. We provided most affecting social and environmental issues on businesses companies value chain; in addition to that we provided some solutions to social and environmental problems based on shared value concept.Design/methodology/approach: The authors provide a proposed approach based on the specificity of problems and issues in agricultural and global food companies. The objective is to identify environmental and social issues in food value chain in order to invest in these issues to create shared value.Findings: We found that every primary and secondary activity within food value chain is characterized by some social and environmental problems. We analyzed these social and environmental issues in every single activity. In addition to that we provided proposed solutions to these social and environmental issues using shared value concept in every single activity within company value chain.Research limitations/implications: This research paper determines social and environmental issues in value chain for food global companies; however, more research is needed to find other social and environmental issues in other sectors.Practical implications: This overview may help and give ideas to owners and managers of food companies to rethink their overall value chain by detecting environmental and social issues and used shared value concept to turn these environmental and social issues into a business opportunity.Originality/value: A unique view of value chain analyzed by identifying environmental and social issues using shared value concept.
