Designing Supply Chain Management Pattern in Small Scale Integrated Commercial Agriculture

This paper has investigated an empirical study to consider the impact of supply chain management on small scale integrated commercial agriculture by focusing on the moderator role of impediments and obligations to offer solutions for agricultural policymakers, planners, and decision-makers. The target group was 423 small-scale rice farmers in Gilan province, and their data was collected by questionnaire. The results of path analysis show that supply chain management has an impact on obligations (β = 0.641). Also, both impediments and obligations affect small scale integrated commercial agriculture (β = 0.879) (β = 0,971). This work showed that supply chain management must try to enforce the obligations of small scale integrated commercial agriculture, also eliminate impediments of small scale integrated commercial agriculture until it could provide small-scale commercial farming benefits.
