Abstract
The purposes of this research are to study the risk factors occurring in the durian supply chain in Chanthaburi province and to propose risk management strategies in the durian supply chain export. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews of key research informants together with asking respondents who were involved in the Durian export supply chain in Chanthaburi to complete the questionnaires. The data collection process in this research can be divided into 2 parts. The first part was to collect all risk factors that occurred in the durian supply chain by in-depth interviews of 13 farmers, 2 collectors and 2 exporters. The second part was to prioritize risk factors by in-depth interviews of 3 farmers, 1 collector and 1 academic expert. The analysis results of risk factor identification in the Durian export supply chain in Chanthaburi province revealed that there were ten types of risks divided into 29 risk factors. The results of assessment of risk factors by three stakeholders in Durian export supply chain including farmers, collectors and exporters showed that the top priority risk factor was the weather related risk, followed by the price risk, the logistics and infrastructure risk, the policy risk, the labor related risk, and the production risk, respectively. The researcher proposed risk management strategies of the first priority as considered by the farmers, collectors, and exporters comprising four strategies, i.e. the risk opportunity reduction strategy, the risk impact reduction strategy, the risk transfer strategy, and the risk confrontation strategy.
