This paper discusses an optimization model for handling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic based on food supply network through regional food hubs (RFHs) under uncertainty. To this end, uncertainty is assumed in the demand and production data. During the Pandemic COVID-19 period, uncertainty has increased and the food supply chain system has changed. Thus, a new configuration of the food supply network requires analysis. In this paper, the concept of RFH is introduced to connect producers in rural areas and customers in urban areas. This paper determines the location and capacity of RFHs, the food supply network, the sum of maximum food supplies, and minimum logistics cost. This is done via a Multi-Objective Many-to-Many Location-Routing Problem model. Furthermore, since the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain, robust optimization is employed to handle uncertainties. During the current pandemic, red zones are defined to indicate the severity of the pandemic in a region. In this paper, the numerical experiment is considered for three scenarios: when a region is in large-scale social distancing, partial social distancing, or normal conditions. This social distancing situation is based on the defined red zones. The optimal food supply network is obtained for the three scenarios and the best scenario among the three is identified.

Fresh agricultural products (FAPs) require special handling to maintain product quality, especially during socio-economic crises. In developing countries, there is a compelling need for a robust supply chain governance strategy to regulate the supply chain actors involved in the logistics and distribution system. This paper proposes an innovative way to design FAP logistics governance to address specific problems in the FAP logistics networks of developing countries, where FAP supply chains are not well integrated. Three logistics governance scenarios were modelled using discrete-event simulation. The results revealed that the fully distributed governance could effectively reduce process delay and consequently minimise logistics costs, especially within the logistics networks serving multiple markets. This is due to that fact that the distributed governance allows the actors involved in the network to have some autonomy to manage their resources. The paper contributes to improving the fundamental understanding of the governance for FAP logistics networks consisting of small-holder farms. Our work also offers valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners into how to improve FAP supply chain management.

There is tendency towards sustainable agricultural production to fulfill food security. It ensures that agricultural production is carried out in a sustainable way. Indonesia as developing country has rapid growing population. It will impact to the food security and food demand. That condition is challenging to develop sustainable agricultural production. Meanwhile, the sustainable agricultural production needs interaction and collaboration throughout the agricultural supply chain that involve multi-stakeholders. This study was conducted in Gemah Ripah 2 farmer group in Kuningan District which has collaboration activities with multi-stakeholders (i.e. Universitas Padjadjaran, Bank Indonesia region Cirebon, local government in Kuningan District, and Universitas Kuningan) in the development of sustainable agribusiness cluster. The sustainable agribusiness is a combination between animals (cattle, sheep, and fish), and plants (rice, shallot, chili, and secondary plants). Each subject on sustainable agribusiness (livestock and plants) is linkage and complement for each other. This study was aimed to analyze the potential of collaboration process in sustainable agribusiness cluster. Drama theory approach can illustrate the episodes that showed the dilemmas in the collaboration of sustainable agribusiness cluster, whereas a collaboration framework is used to initiatives for resolving dilemmas

Rice is a strategic product in Indonesia development because it becomes an essential aspect of economic growth. The inefficiency of food agribusiness system becomes a crucial aspect of developing the sustainable industry. Those affected by the lack of using technology that impacts the high amount of waste and losses, the inefficiency of time, etc. It could impact the competitiveness, equity of value-added, unstable price and poverty. Some amount of rice grade materials rejected from the production line due to the unsatisfactory quality. This article aimed to analyze efficiency in the food industry as a preparation in the development of agricultural digital supply chain. The analysis shows that inefficiency in the rice industry due to a lot of manual activities that impact the time and expense efficiency (labor intensive rather than the use of technologies). Improving efficiency in the food industry is not only about time and cost management, but it becomes complex issues which are involved in several barrier factors. It should be anticipated with appropriate technology, improving skills, and also develop an integrated logistics system. Importantly, improving efficiency in rice industry needs to develop soft skill as the key success factors to improve efficiency in the digital supply chain for the rice industry.

Pertanian menjadi salah satu sektor perekonomian penyumbang PDB negara. Beragam potensi dan keragaman sektor pertanian menjadi potensi kekuatan untuk dikembangkan secara berkesinambungan. Akan tetapi, potensi dan keragaman sumber daya tersebut masih menghadapi berbagai kendala dan permasalahan, seperti iklim, produksi, pasca panen, serta pemasaran. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi berbagai permasalahan dan kendala dengan menggunakan pendekatan yang bersifat holistik dan partisipatif. Proses analisis dimulai dengan memvisualisasikan Big Picture Mapping pada proses produksi hulu hingga hilir untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan dan kendala memalui proses dialog dan diskusi sepanjang rantai pasok pertanian berdasarkan konsep value co-creation. Pendekatan yang digunakan untuk menggali informasi yaitu dengan metode participatory action research yang melibatkan partisipasi dari peneliti, praktisi dan pemangku kebijakan sektor pertanian. Sektor pertanian di Provinsi Jawa Barat menjadi studi kasus pada penelitian ini. Pelibatan aktor dari sektor pertanian, peternakan, perikanan, dan perkebunan, pelaku pasar dan pemerintah menjadi dasar pengembangan model smart supply chain pada sektor pertnian. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa permasalahan yang terjadi pada sektor pertanian dikarenakan tidak ada integrasi antar pelaku rantai pasok serta para pemangku kepentingan (pemerintah, pihak swasta, dan peneliti) sehingga kegiatan pembangunan dijalankan secara terpisah dan tidak dikoordinasikan dengan tepat. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, rekomendasi pengembangan pembangunan sektor pertanian dengan pengembangan smart supply chain harus dilandasi oleh koordinasi antar aktor yang dilakukan secara terintegrasi. Komponen utama pengembangan smart supply chain sektor pertanian harus melibatkan klaster, simpul pangan, dan pengembangan berbagai teknologi digital yang tepat guna. Agriculture is one of the economic sectors contributing to the country's GDP. Various potentials and diversity of the agricultural sector become the potential strength to be developed sustainably. However, the potential and diversity of these resources still face various obstacles and problems, such as climate, production, post-harvest, and marketing. According to this case, this study aims to identify various problems and obstacles using a holistic and participatory approach. The analysis process begins by visualizing the Big Picture Mapping in the upstream to downstream production processes to identify problems and obstacles through a process of dialogue and discussion throughout the agricultural supply chain based on the value co-creation concept. The approach used to dig up information is by using participatory action research methods that involve participation from researchers, practitioners and stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The agricultural sector in West Java Province is a case study in this research. The involvement of actors from the agricultural, livestock, fisheries and plantation sectors, market players and the government is the basis for developing the agricultural smart supply chain model. This research shows that the problems that occur in the agricultural sector are due to the lack of integration between supply chain actors and stakeholders (i.e., government, private sector, and researchers). The development activities are carried out separately and are not appropriately coordinated. Based on this case, recommendations for developing the agricultural sector with the development of smart supply chains must be based on coordination between actors carried out in an integrated manner. The main components of agricultural smart supply chain development should involve clusters, food hubs, and the development of various appropriate digital technologies.
