Abstract

This academic article aims to present factors affecting the agricultural products manufacturing industry for sustainable supply chain management. Based on literature synthesis and academic sources, it was found that logistics and supply chain capabilities, product manufacturing, raw material management, and warehouse and inventory management of agricultural products production affect sustainable environmental development in the agricultural products manufacturing industry and competitive advantage.

This sustainable development is a multi-dimensional process that focuses on integrating economic, social, and environmental aspects together, which directly impacts the competitive advantage of products in terms of quality, uniqueness, and reliability. Furthermore, it is closely linked to supply chain efficiency, seamlessly integrating components, leading to long-term sustainable organizational performance for the agricultural products manufacturing industry by balancing business growth, social responsibility, and environmental preservation.
