FOCUSING ON THE CHALLENGES OF FULFILLINGGSCM IN THE FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES

Abstract

This paper aims to hub atop the challenges of fulfilling the green supply chain practices (GSCM) in the food processing industries to reveal new knowledge and deep insights. This investigation analysis has been conducted across Indian regions. The snowball method is used to select the respondents for sampling.  A structured questionnaire has been prepared to collect data for analysis.  Respondents of around 155 personnel working across the food industry in various functions. Further percentage analysis was deployed to detect the concerns and confronts of respondents throughout the implementation the GSCM practices, particularly in the food industry. Simple Analysis of variance method deployed, and results interpreted to reveal insights. There are many challenges while practicing GSCM, though, this study predominantly centers on the challenges of executing GSCM in the food processing industries. The learning consequences reveal that a significant difference exists in challenges faced while adopting green supply chain management (H1 accepted) where no significant difference exists between the GSCM (H0 – Null Hypothesis can’t be rejected as tasters are not statistically substantial to discard the null hypothesis explained by research insights through ANOVA results. Even though the challenges persist during adopting GSCM it is inevitable to move forward to revive & retain the environment for future generations to ensure their livelihood.
