Abstract
The management of Agri-food supply chains is a complex task, given the unique product characteristics, perishability, uncertain demand, and specific storage requirements. This research introduces an innovative approach to optimizing product allocation among producers, brokers, wholesalers, and retailers, focusing on minimizing transportation costs and network delivery time through multi-objective programming. To address uncertainties, supply and demand constraints are modelled using a gamma distribution, and the maximum likelihood estimation method determines their parameters with specified probabilities. The study conducts a case analysis to showcase the model’s practical effectiveness, and a numerical comparison with alternative approaches is included. The primary goal of this study is to enhance the efficiency of agri-food supply chain management practices, providing valuable insights for practitioners in the field, with a focus on cost reduction and improved delivery time.
