The study looked at risks in the tomato supply chain in Tanzania. They found 68 risks, with some controllable and others not. The main sources of risks were related to biosecurity, competence, supply and demand, climate, finances, laws, and relationships. The researchers suggest that companies and government work together to manage risks and provide more support. Future research should focus on specific types of risks and their impact on businesses.
