Supply chain management means addressing the reliability of the delivery process itself, especially with respect to delays and uncertainty in time, quality and availability of service and risks of interruption. All of these risks can undermine the fundamental objectives of any supply chain: to provide products of the correct quantity and quality, to the right place, at the right time, efficiently at competitive cost – and to make at least normal profit in doing so. For governments there may be additional objectives, especially for net-exporting countries if cash crops are important for export revenues or, for net importing countries, to maintain domestic food supply. In the context of low income countries, and especially landlocked ones, food logistics is dependent on international corridors over relatively long distances (1,000 km or more), which serve both intra- and extra-regional trade through local port gateways. These corridor supply chains are often very slow and unreliable by international standards both for imports and exports.
