Sustainability in the agro-processing and food industry is gaining critical importance, especially in Asia, where agricultural production is both a key economic driver and a source of livelihood for millions. However, integrating sustainable practices into the supply chain covering everything from raw material sourcing and processing to packaging, logistics, and distribution remains a challenge.

I invite fellow researchers and professionals to share their insights on the following:

• What are the key sustainability challenges and opportunities in agro-food supply chains across Asia?
• Are there country-specific policies or innovations (e.g., in India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, or Indonesia) driving green supply chain practices?
• How can technology (IoT, blockchain, AI) enhance transparency and sustainability in this sector?
• What role do SMEs and local cooperatives play in fostering sustainable agro-processing networks?

I welcome recent case studies, best practices, research findings, and opinions. Let’s collaborate to advance knowledge in this critical area!
