Supply chain management of the fishing industry has become increasingly important as globalization has increased competition. It is complicated due to the involvement of heterogeneous stakeholders and the establishment of an unorganized market structure. This study gave a holistic insight into the gaps in existing literature for measuring supply chain performance emphasizing the need to value multidimensional aspects, such as information sharing, commitment, efficiency, effectiveness, quality, reliability, flexibility, and capability in the inland fishing industry. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze responses from 787 stakeholders randomly selected from 11 districts through a structured in-person interview covering 46 fish markets. The study revealed that information sharing and commitment both positively influenced the supply chain performance. Information sharing had a positive significant relationship with all mediators. In contrast, a positive significant relationship was found between the commitment, efficiency, effectiveness, quality, and reliability. Among the mediators, efficiency, effectiveness, and quality positively affected the supply-chain performance. Considering the finding of this study the stakeholders can outline, promote, and implement policies for the improved supply chain management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
