Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Mekong Delta: A Case Study of Agricultural Processing Firms

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing sustainable supply chain management practices among agricultural processing firms in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. The research used a survey method, distributing approximately 220 questionnaires to processing firms and receiving 170 responses. The analysis identified factors affecting sustainable supply chain management, including mandatory pressure, mimetic pressure, standardization pressure, strategic orientation toward sustainable development, and humanistic culture. Based on these findings, the authors provide recommendations for agricultural processing firms in the Mekong Delta to enhance and strengthen sustainable agricultural processing supply chains.
