Abstract

The importance of food processing industry in a developing country like Tanzania is vital for the nation’s economy as it impacts both individual owners of the business, consumers and the country’s GDP. Despite all this, the industry still faces demand unpredictability, undesired processing infrastructures and environment, problems of storage and costs associated with, distribution, transportation and logistical risks and challenges. To improve the industry, the analysis of the impact of supply chain risk management strategies on the performance of food processing companies was inevitable. This explanatory designed survey included all registered and licenced food processors in the country (URT, 2022). The regression results revealed all four analysed supply chain risk strategies have a significant impact on the performance of the processing companies. This implies that the supply chain risks should always be intact and established in line with the firm’s culture, structure, resources and working conditions to enable effective risk management processes and improve the performance of the industry in general.
