Abstract
Quality seed management is critical to developing low-income agricultural economies in Africa. This research investigates the challenges of seed logistics and supply chain management in diverse geographies. The elements and processes of seed supply chains directly impact crop productivity and yields. The literature reveals challenges persist in establishing connections between business partners. To address challenges, a collaborative theory is proposed. This theory, which strongly emphasizes inclusivity in the seed industry, invites all stakeholders to contribute to the solution, promoting a collaborative approach. The research aims to unite the public and private sectors, research institutions, and NGOs in seed logistics management. A holistic modelling methodology is suggested, with Seed Logistics Information System (SIS) models linking supply chain business entities, dimensions, and attributes. Initial path analysis of the structure equation modelling carried out between seed logistic attribute dimensions and their correlation coefficients suggests that collaborative attributes have improved stakeholder relationships.
