The food supply chain requires an extensive amount of collaboration between various different parties, from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers. Professionals within any position of this supply chain must understand the importance of maintaining positive relationships throughout to ensure effective communication and operational optimisation. Effective collaboration of functions and processes guarantees that the consumer is going to receive a safe product that is more than satisfactory.
Furthermore, it is vital to manage risk within the food supply chain.

With risks established, preventative measures and corrective actions can be implemented to ensure smooth functions throughout the organisation.
