Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the current implementation of the coconut supply chain and identify barriers and drivers based on the perspectives of coconut stakeholders. Today, many organisations desire to deploy supply chain sustainability due to the growing research and conversation on the topic. However, specific organisations and businesses, particularly in the agro-industry, still need help implementing and evaluating their supply chain to identify accurate implications. This study emphasises the coconut supply chain, particularly in the provinces of Riau, Indonesia, which are known for their most significant coconut production worldwide, where the coconut industry is one of the most substantial economic sectors. A systematic literature review using PRISMA was implemented to find the drivers and barriers in supply chain implementation, and a qualitative analysis was executed using in-depth interviews involving 17 selected respondents of coconut supply chain stakeholders. It was discovered that the stakeholders encountered 19 drivers and 15 barriers. The results of this study will benefit the sustainability of the coconut industry’s supply chain, help overcome existing obstacles, and motivate stakeholders to implement supply chain sustainability.
