説明

This paper reviews current state of agri-food business in Asian economies, specifically, East Asian countries. In the post 1997-crisis era, food and agri business sector remained the least affected in most of the countries. Moreover, the sector has seen tremendous growth in recent years in Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Korea and Japan, despite being agro based economies largely depends on imported agricultural inputs showed a different picture. Traditional supply chain has evolved into a high tech robust end-to-end distribution system with increasing emphasis on customer satisfaction across Asia. Countries like Thailand, have responded to changing faces of global agri-business by employing modern techniques like RFID traceability system. Rise of supermarkets in Asian countries is mainly driven by increasing middle class and higher incomes with increasing sense of quality and price sensitivity. Effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) is taken as a tool for combating fierce competition, cutting cost and improving economic performance. Mergers and alliances are playing vital role providing huge volumes through supermarkets but have the role of wet markets is reduced? Green initiative, on the other hand, claims improved economic performance and an alternate solution for small to mid size farm owners to stay competitive in front of large conglomerates. A brief introduction of role of food safety standard ISO22000 SCM is also included.<br>
