Abstract

Rural supply chain management (SCM) plays a crucial role in connecting producers to markets and ensuring the efficient flow of goods and services in rural areas. This paper explores innovative approaches in rural SCM, focusing on technology integration, sustainable practices, and collaborative models to address infrastructure deficits and market inefficiencies. It highlights successful case studies and their impact on reducing wastage, improving market access, and fostering inclusivity. The findings underscore the importance of government policies and private sector partnerships in transforming rural SCM. By analyzing recent innovations and their outcomes, this study offers actionable insights for stakeholders aiming to enhance supply chain efficiency and empower rural communities
