What is a supply chain?

A supply chain is the series of flows (the supply network) from procuring raw materials through manufacturing, logistics, and sales to reaching the consumer's hands.

In the food industry, it's a key mechanism for delivering products efficiently while ensuring "food safety and reassurance," and combined with traceability and HACCP it raises reliability.
