The effect of upstream production on corn supply chain sustainability as broiler feed

The study aimed to identify the scheme of farmer productive factors that may give an impact on the supply chain sustainability as the upstream feedstuffs producers to satisfy the feedstuffs demand of the broiler feed industry. Collected data were analysed using descriptive statistic. This study was categorized as a descriptive quantitative study. The results of the study showed that one effective productive factor from the farmer respondents was corn farming experience. On the other hand, other productive factors including land area, corn Sheller and dryer facilities and agricultural capital were not prominent. Therefore, in order to sustain the corn supply chain from the farmers or upstream supply chain, the primary factors that should be fulfilled included the agricultural capital, land area, and corn Sheller and dryer. The productive factors of agricultural capital, land area, and corn Sheller and dryer, as well as the knowledge in farming, were determining in sustaining the corn supply chain sustainability to fulfil the demand of either final consumer or broiler feed industry.
