“…An increasing number of publications on the implementation of sustainable development principles can be found using the examples of particular countries or geographical regions (see: Freiboth, 2018;Varsei and Polyakovskiy, 2017) to systematise the literature in this area (Koberg and Longoni, 2019). A characteristic feature of the current publications, despite the lack of clarity in defining the concept, is the lack of considerations relating precisely to the definition of the area, scope, and processes within the chains that occur in the strategy of a sustainable supply chain and its management.…”

Sustainable supply chain management has been an issue in both literature and business practice since the 1990s. Both the development phases and the definition range (including the complexity and number of individual processes) have been subject to changes and modifications over the years. The multitude of definitions and theoretical scope is a barrier to the implementation of the concept in economic practice. The aim of this paper is to show how it has evaluated the concept and thematic scope in theoretical point of view and in relation to its practical implementation. The research was carried out using content analysis methods, as well as selected case studies. The most important findings include: a presentation and change in the understanding and application of SSCM; bibliometric analysis with an interpretation of the state, volume and scope of SC research; directions and trends in research including the identification of research gaps that may be a basis for further research.

“…This sustainability drive led to the implementation of several decarbonising strategies at the organisational level as companies were compelled to take responsibility for their carbon emissions. Furthermore, the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has evolved to the extent that the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) launched an index in 2004 to ensure that listed companies in South Africa align with global trends in corporate governance (Niehaus, Freiboth & Goedhals-Gerber 2018). These CSR strategies have become important for the organisation's public image because of consumer awareness of the environmental impact of carbon emissions, making it a decisive criterion for purchasing decisions by some consumers (Borin, Cerf & Krishnan 2011;Joshi & Rahman 2015).…”

Background: Globalisation has undoubtedly revolutionised the way modern society functions by connecting different people, economies, cultures and technology. This integration depends on the adequate movement of goods by increasingly more complex and longer global supply chains (SCs). The structure of the distribution chain and the individual activities that jointly facilitate the transportation of commodities such as fresh fruit have not been well defined, making it difficult and ambiguous to determine greenhouse gas emissions. Mapping the various distribution scenarios of fruit and stating the emission-generating activities not only enable the analysis and management of these activities but also provide a basis for calculating emissions.Objectives: The key objective is to describe all the physical emission-generating distribution activities that take place during the international export of fresh fruit from South Africa. These activities were used to create distribution chain diagrams that define the structure of fresh fruit distribution.Method: To identify activities, a literature review, direct observation of distribution activities at logistical facilities and unstructured interviews with operational managers at these facilities were performed. Scenario planning was used to combine generic activities into realistic distribution chain diagrams. The activities and diagrams were validated by semistructured interviews with four industry experts.Results: Following the identification of emission-generating activities, five generic distribution chain diagrams were created that should represent all possible distribution scenarios for fresh fruit.Conclusion: The generic distribution scenarios not only capture the various methods by which fresh fruit is exported from South Africa but also form the basis of seven important emission-related managerial practices.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the role of different supply chain players in agri-business and their effect on farmers’ output, to arrive at a feasible model of supply network intended for optimizing the surplus in these agri-business supply chains. Theoretical framework: A lot of literature is already published on agricultural supply chains and distribution networks but the intention of this study is to understand and explore the economic impact on output. Design/methodology/approach: According to (Denyer and Tranfield, 2009), a systematic review is a procedure that identifies prior research, chooses and assesses contributions, analyses and synthesizes data, and presents the findings in a way that enables reasonably clear conclusions to be drawn about what is known and what is unknown. Accordingly, a five-step approach proposed by them is adopted for this research review, which is illustrated below. Findings: The review of existing literature helped in forming the following categories of researched material, with different contributions to research: Technological factors affecting supply chain decisions of agricultural produce Optimization techniques applied to distribution networks Farmers’ integration in value-chain and inter-dependencies of players Research, Practical and Social Implications: The study paves way for the identification of an action plan based on the studies on economic impact and also provides future research direction. Originality/Value: No previous work on economic impact analysis of agricultural supply chains is done till now.
