Abstract: The study examined the relationship between knowledge management orientation (KMO), logistics strategic orientation (LSO) and supply chain risk management performance in Ugandan agro processing firms. The study adopted a quantitative cross-sectional research design. In this study, the researchers distributed 127 questionnaires of which only 102 questionnaires were returned representing an 80.3% response rate. Quantitative data analysis was done using correlation, mediation and regression analyses. Study findings revealed a positive relationship between KMO, LSO and SCRM performance. Mediation findings indicated a partial mediation between KMO and SCRM performance through LSO. Furthermore, LSO significantly mediates the relationship between KMO and SCRM performance. The paper shows that SCRM performance in agro-processing firms is as a result of consistent application of KMO and LSO, developing new sustainable strategies and products in a dynamic environment. Though studies have been published in SCRM in Uganda, many have not revealed the mediating role of LSO on KMO and SCRM performance.
