Abstract: Abstract In the era of “fragmented globalization,” multinational enterprises face escalating trade policy uncertainties and systemic disruptions. While institutional friction—encompassing asymmetric tariff shocks, soft infrastructure bottlenecks, and digital trade barriers—affects all sectors, cross-border agri-food supply chains are uniquely vulnerable due to their high perishability and strict geographic dependencies. This paper systematically reviews the multidimensional disruption mechanisms of institutional friction and synthesizes the evolutionary paths of supply chain resilience. Moving beyond static buffering, we highlight proactive mitigation strategies, including network reconfiguration, digital empowerment via “Smart Borders,” ESG integration, and strategic adaptation to Local Content Requirements (LCRs). Furthermore, we identify critical research gaps, particularly the lack of hybrid macro-micro simulation frameworks (such as GTAP-SD models) capable of translating macroeconomic policy shocks into micro-operational disruptions. This review provides a foundational theoretical framework for cross-border agri-food suppliers and policymakers to navigate a friction-heavy trade order.
