Abstract:
The study aims at investigating and assessing the impacts of the
logistics centre on sustainable development of the rice supply chain in
the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. In order to achieve these objectives, the
current situation of rice logistics including the overall supply chains
from production in the Mekong Delta to consumption is described.
Potential rice logistics centre in the context the Mekong Delta will be
compiled, and the importance of this measure is examined by conducting
an expert interview survey based on the Multi-Criteria Assessment (MCA)
method. According to the results, the initiative of establishing a rice
logistics centre located close to the centralized rice production areas
in the Mekong Delta is expected toward more inland waterway use, thereby
reducing the number of ton-km for road. In addition to this, the
intervention would improve remarkably the social-economic efficiency
through reducing total logistics cost and emission cost for the rice
industry of Vietnam.
