Abstract: With the deregulation of the Chinese agricultural market, competition becomes increasingly fierce in agricultural circulation enterprises, leading to the reduction of profits. More and more enterprises have developed the concept of cooperative competition to seek strategic cooperation with upstream agricultural suppliers. In the cooperation process, performance evaluation on supplier collaboration is one of the crucial issues for current research. The work identified the key affecting factors on collaborative performance from product competitiveness, communication skills, operations capability and information sharing capabilities, and applied fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to evaluate collaborative performance of agricultural suppliers. The results revealed the importance of the supplier collaboration and proposed the way of improving collaborative performance.

Keywords: agricultural supply chains; supplier collaboration; performance evaluation: fuzzy AHP; FAHP; analytical hierarchy process; supply chain management; SCM; product competitiveness; communication skills; operations capability; information sharing. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
