Sustainable supply chain management in the agricultural sector in Ethiopia
In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in interest from both academic and corporate sectors concerning sustainable supply chain management. The increasing number of published papers focusing on this topic is a signal for this. To contribute further to the development of this field, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the impact of adopting sustainable supply chain management in the agricultural sector in Ethiopia, considering a total of 67 papers published between 2010 and 2023. This literature review aims to examine barriers, internal and external driving forces of the adoption of sustainable supply chain management practices, the impact of adopting sustainable supply chain management practices on the performance, and identify constraints and opportunities of sustainable supply chain management practices in Ethiopian agricultural sectors. Focusing on the Ethiopian context, the study provides insights into the link between sustainable supply chain practices and performance outcomes. Additionally, NVIVO, qualitative data analysis software, was utilized to enhance the review process and ensure the systematic literature analysis.
