The Supply Chain Management of Rice Farmers in the Modern Era

Abstract

This academic article finds that the global economy and trade are currently undergoing rapid changes. The agricultural sector plays a vital role in Thailand’s economy and society. Trade logistics is a key component supporting the growth of various trade sectors and serves as a crucial mechanism in driving the economy. Supply chain logistics is important in reducing costs, increasing the value of agricultural trade, and enhancing the efficiency of logistics management throughout the agricultural supply chain. This is in preparation for supporting agricultural producers and improving the quality and standards of rice products. The objective is to synthesize the components of supply chain management and the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model. The study is based on academic articles and research. The results reveal that the synthesized components of supply chain management include Purchasing, Production planning, Procurement of raw materials, Warehousing, Packaging, and Transportation. The SCOR Model processes include Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Return. Each of these factors plays a significant role in linking activities and operations among organizations to ensure efficient implementation.
