    Abstract

    Hong Kong rice supply chain is characterized as totally importing from overseas countries and huge local demand. There exist numerous risk issues in different stages of the supply chain. Using the technique of value stream analysis, this paper investigates the supply chain structure and identifies the relevant risk factors on the supply side and demand side of the chain. Findings show that the rice supply chain risk may arise from the process of rice production and milling, storing and distribution, government policy, demand fluctuation and so on. All risk factors are assessed based on value chain analysis and the related mitigation measures are proposed.
