Abstract:
Study was conducted to assess the impact of Constraints facing in Supply chain Management of Apple Production in Kinnaur and Kullu Districts of Himachal Pradesh, India using data for the period 2021-2022.To identify gaps and challenges in the supply chain of apple production and marketing, a sample of 400 respondents was interviewed through structured interview schedule. Garrett’s ranking model and five point likert scales is used to identify the factors which were determining the constraints of the apple producers for supply chain management. The constraints in supply chain management were further classified in to six different sub components namely grading and packaging constraints, Packaging material constraints, Storage facilities constraints, Transportation constraints, Market information constraints, Malpractices constraints. Apple producers were not so aware about the constraints of the supply chain management Gaps can be reduced by the efficient supply chain management.
