Assessment of performance indicators for sustainable agri-retail sector

Abstract

The value of the agriculture sector is becoming even more pronounced due to increase in consumption. Therefore ensuring sustainability in the agriculture sector is critical for the future of humanity. With the increasing power of retailers in the supply chain they have gained importance in sustainability efforts in the sector. To achieve social environmental and economic sustainability in the agriculture sector retailers need to enhance their own sustainability practices. Therefore the agri-retail sector becomes one of a crucial area. In this study social environmental and economic sustainability criteria were examined in the agri-retail sector through a sample study. The importance of the criteria was determined using the fuzzy criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method and total interpretive structural modelling (TISM) method is used for determining interrelations between the criteria. Based on the results the prominent sustainability criteria for the agri-retail sector were identified and evaluated. © 2025 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
