🚨Risk plays a key factor in traditional flow of produce supply chain in primary farming ecosystem. They are organised but informal. 🎖️Why it matters? The flow of goods remain uninsured due to the nature of trade. Sale of produce bundled with transportation happens at every interchange. So, different prices for the same produce.  Traders on either end bake the risk into the price of produce commodity. Price of goods transported can be devalued at the destination due to competition, grade issues and delay in arrival.  🌀Go deeper Produce transportation are the shortest supply chains but are riddled with middle men due to the risk factor. The person sending the cargo from production region to consumption region is taking both cost and risk of transportation. Truck transiting your cargo can simply go missing with produce and sell it on their own. Think about Onion, Potato and Tomato supply chains from production regions to consumption region and overlay them on the image and you will have a clear understanding.
