《Agricultural Supply Chain in Ghana： Risks. Mitigation Strategies and Performance》以加纳农业供应链的风险源与风险危害程度为研究视角，通过对加纳农业供应链中潜在的供给风险进行了调查和评估，并根据工程评定以及历史记录，估算出这些风险缓急程度和参与者面对既定风险的应对能力及其对加纳农业供应链实际绩效的影响，提出了如何降低和转移加纳农业供应链风险的应对策略。《Agricultural Supply Chain in Ghana： Risks. Mitigation Strategies and Performance》基于18个研究假设，通过对加纳农业企业和农场的实地采访和面谈来收集**数据的方法开展研究。本研究对1504名长期在农业行业或农业供应链行业工作的管理人员进行了问卷调查，对回收的有效问卷回收689份进行统计与分析来验证研究假设，得出以下结论：通过合理分配稀有资源可以缓解供应链中的需求、供应、气候、物流以及基础设施相关的风险，从而改善加纳农业供应链的绩效。《Agricultural Supply Cha
