Abstract
No matter whatever is the nature of the supply chain, sources of production, intermediates and consumers are no more just local, rather this global spread has added on global complexities toped up by dwindling economies, political instable horizons, widespread social unrests and uncontrollable volatilities like non-availability of raw materials, high input costs, currency exchange rate differences etc.; all are being affected up to some extent. Food supply chains are highly prone to pre-harvest and post-harvest challenges like: intense weather conditions, shortage of water, floods, land salinity, pest attacks, poor grade seeds, non-technical sowing or earlier/delayed harvesting of crops, semi-perishable nature, and prolonged production times than expected, non- availability of chilled storage facilities and so on.
