Description
The current trend in food value chain is characterized by three overriding features:
a. Greater concentration of farms, food industries, and wholesalers into smaller number with large sizes;
b. The evolution of integrated supply chains linking producers and other stakeholders; and
c. Ever increasing consumers demand for food quality and safety (food that is fresh, palatable, nutritious and safe) and animal welfare (Opara, 2003). However, to date, the linkage between logistics systems of the stakeholders in the agriculture and food supply chains is rather loose and fragmented
