1.2. Flow and collaboration in the longan supply chain
This research will start with explanations of the flow and collaboration in the supply chain
between each player. It is very important to understand the players’ actions and their roles in the
process of exporting longan to China before we can understand the barriers they are now facing.
We will also study the reasons that force them make decisions like the ones they currently act
upon. Then, in addition to understanding their actions in the supply chain, we will try to
understand more about their exposure to the risk of the NTMs on the longan trade with China.
