Additionally, there is a growing interest in blockchain technology to enhance supply chain visibility and transparency.
Local special circumstances: Southern Africa has unique challenges in supply chain management, such as limited infrastructure and logistics capabilities in certain areas, political instability, and a high prevalence of theft and fraud.
