Agri-food chain disruptions and sustainable performance: the role of supply chain resilience

Abstract

Drawing on dynamic capability and network theory, this study examines the effect of agri-food supply chain disruptions on sustainable performance, with emphasis on the moderating role of supply chain resilience. Guided by a post-positivist paradigm, the study adopts an explanatory quantitative design. Data were collected through surveys from 245 managers of agri-food processing firms in Ghana's Greater Accra Region and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Demand, supply, and logistics disruptions negatively affect sustainable performance, while supply chain resilience has a significant positive effect. Resilience moderates the effects of demand and supply disruptions but not logistics disruptions. The cross-sectional design and regional focus may limit generalisability and restrict causal inference. The study integrates dynamic capability and network theory to explain resilience in disruption management and positions it as a key adaptive capability for sustainable supply chains in emerging economies.
