“…About 38% of the studies under this theme report that in horticultural value chains, the quality of delivered produce and means of transport used during distribution and marketing are dependent on the distance to market. One of the studies (Lenn and Ward, 2010;Suraraksa and Shin, 2019) states that transportation in horticulture value chains is a key aspect in distribution and marketing from close to distant market outlets. Review results show that another 38% of the studies under this theme focused on elements of chain actors' welfare, marketing strategies, governance, and trading, with a very thin strand exclusively focusing on transportation practices in AIVs.…”

Malnutrition continues to be a major problem with negative implications on economic and human development in many parts of the world, including in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Strengthening promising underutilized crops that are nutrient dense, climate resilient, and locally adaptable is an instrumental approach to enhancing dietary diversity. Due to their nutritional and economic benefits, African Indigenous Vegetables (AIVs) have the potential to contribute to livelihoods and address challenges of food and nutrition insecurity. Despite their importance but due to their perishability, AIVs tend to suffer from high post-harvest losses (PHLs). Effective distribution systems along the value chain have the potential to reduce PHLs for AIVs. We therefore conducted a scoping review on transport systems and coordination in AIVs value chains in SSA. The objectives of this review were to summarize and analyze the focus of research in AIVs transport, to analyze the extent to which the literature synthesizes interactions of sub-components of the chains, and to identify knowledge gaps in AIVs transport literature. Based on the research foci, we categorize the reviewed articles into seven themes. Our analyses indicate that distance to agricultural market is a fundamental aspect of AIVs transportation, as it interacts with transport costs, market participation, produce quality, and profit efficiency. Results show that collective action is instrumental in the coordination of AIVs transportation and that it contributes to cost reduction. Following light exploration of determinants of choice of means of transport, we recommend further research in this area for improvement of transportation in AIVs value chains.

“…Thus, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce wastage, decrease financial losses and solve environmental pollution issues there is need for the provision of more efficient and dependable logistics infrastructure [26], [77][78][79][80]. Furthermore, overcoming the distribution challenges will require investments in temperature-controlled technology, implementation of robust information monitoring systems like the Geographical information system (GIS), Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID), adaptation of SMART emission control technologies , frameworks and models and adherence to best practices in temperature management [33], [75], [81][82][83][84].…”

The operations of the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) businesses in Nigeria rely on the efficiency and efficacy of cold chain service providers for quality storage and optimal safety of perishable goods. However, the sector faces obstacles such as inadequate technology, unskilled labour, insufficient funds, weak regulation, and a poor regulatory policy framework, all of which impede the business’s growth and performance. The goal of this study is to systematically review the issues that restrict cold chain logistics service providers’ performance in Nigeria’s highly perishable food business. This study employs PRISMA procedure and the systematic literature review technique to extract articles and emphasize the importance of employing cold chain services to increase efficiency, quality service delivery, and consumer fulfilment. The study’s findings demonstrate that achieving quality service delivery, service effectiveness, cost savings, and customer satisfaction is hampered by a lack of proper synergy between cold chain logistics service providers and cold chain major stakeholders such as regulators, as well as an absence of skilled personnel, policy, funding, infrastructure, and technologies for monitoring and tracking product movement and condition. By remedying these difficulties, Nigeria’s FMCGS sectors could potentially improve their performance and contribute to the development of a robust, sustainable cold chain logistics industry. As a result, the quality and safety of FMCG goods would be enhanced, driving the expansion of the FMCG sector in Nigeria. Future research findings should focus on the cold chain logistics performance leverages on economic growth and development in Africa.

Algorithms for the ideal formulation and precise decomposition have been proposed (Rahimi, 2017;Suraraksa & Shin, 2019). A variety of heuristics have also been published in order to solve the VRP.…”

Supply chain is a systematic and strategic coordination of the traditional business function to across business function within supply chain for the purpose of improving the long-term performance of the business. The objective of the paper is to understand the saving concepts are used in operational path to achieve optimization in term of cost saving. Business nowadays going towards to minimizing the operational in order to compete with others The purpose is to achieve the minimization in inventory routing problem (IRP) with cost minimization consists inventory and transportation costs focus on the single warehouse with multiple customers. The operational costs can be reduced by solving the inventory management and transportation process for vehicle to replenish the inventory. In this paper, a mathematical model was developed and simulated by using an optimization software package to achieve the optimization. The findings show that the optimization can be achieved by reducing the movement of the vehicle To conclude, the bigger the vehicle's capacity, much capacity can add and less routes taken by the vehicle to supply the inventory to the customers.
