Supplier Segmentation: A Case Study of Mozambican Cassava Farmers

Abstract: Over 3 000 Mozambican smallholder farmers supply cassava to Company XYZ. XYZ needs an effective supplier segmentation method to gain insight into how it should direct its resources for the greatest impact. This paper describes the application of the k-means algorithm, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, and a self-organising map with ward clustering to segment these cassava suppliers. The insights gained from the cluster analysis are then used to provide recommendations and suggest suitable intervention str… Show more

“…A study from Mozambican context focused on supplier segmentation and productivity (Matshabaphala & Grobler, 2021).The study adopted cluster analysis of algorithms and from the findings information, observation, education and development intervention strategies were significant to the study. Building on unlimited studies engaging supplier segmentation and operational efficiency in enhancing food chain stability, this interrogation postulated that H0 2 : Supplier segmentation has no statistical influence on the operational efficiency of the Agricultural Food Authority…”
