Abstract
One of the main challenges of the agricultural sector in Panama is to fortify de weak links that can be found in the agricultural supply chain. The objective of this project, funded by the National Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation of Panama, was to model, for the first time, the supply chain of agricultural products, and to design and propose the corresponding policies for the logistic platform that would optimize distribution of agricultural products in the country. Specifically lettuce was used as the main product for the analysis, and an optimization model was developed in order to propose decisions, not only with respect to volume distributed to the different markets, but also with respect of the type of vehicle used. A cost analysis was performed in order to study the implications for the different elements of the supply chain. Finally, a decision for a new distribution center was made for different scenarios.
