Purpose

This research study aims to identify and rank the most substantial barriers to implementing green supply chain management (GSCM) in the Vietnamese agriculture industry.

Design/methodology/approach

The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques have been employed for this work to rank the critical GSCM barriers. The rankings were determined based on the expertise and input of ten experts from Vietnamese agriculture firms who participated as respondents.

Findings

This study has identified seven clusters of barriers, which encompass a total of 19 sub-barriers. Among these obstacles, the categories of financial costs and external stakeholders have emerged as the top priority barriers that require immediate attention and resolution. Meanwhile, the technology and strategic management clusters have a relatively weaker impact on GSCM implementation.

Practical implications

These findings provide valuable guidelines for the top managers in this sector to consider before systematically deciding on the GSCM implementation problems to improve performance and competitive advantage.

Originality/value

This work focuses on considering GSCM barriers for the Vietnamese agriculture industry; hence, it enriches the GSCM literature by offering perspectives from a transitional market, which results in variations in the barriers, categorization and importance ranking.

分析实施绿色供应链管理的障碍：以越南农业部门为例

目的

本研究旨在确定越南农业实施绿色供应链管理 (GSCM) 的最大障碍并对其进行排名。

设计/方法论/途径

这项工作采用了按与理想解决方案相似度的优先顺序技术 (TOPSIS) 技术对关键的 GSCM 障碍进行排名。该排名是根据来自越南农业企业的十名专家作为受访者的专业知识和意见确定的。

发现

这项研究确定了七组障碍，其中总共包含 19 个子障碍。在这些障碍中，财务成本和外部利益相关者类别已成为需要立即关注和解决的首要障碍。同时，技术和战略管理集群对GSCM实施的影响相对较弱。

实际影响

这些发现为该领域的高层管理人员在系统地决定 GSCM 实施问题以提高绩效和竞争优势之前考虑提供了宝贵的指导方针。

原创性/价值

这项工作的重点是考虑越南农业产业的 GSCM 障碍；因此，它通过提供转型市场的观点丰富了 GSCM 文献，从而导致障碍、分类和重要性排名的变化。
