| Abstract | The aim of this research was to study the logistic cost of fresh mulberry supplychains from fruit collecting points at Nan Province to Bangkok via public buses andairplanes. The interviews were conducted to collect the data from mulberry farmers. Thefarmers were classified according to locations, the high land farmers had the averageproduction cost of 12.17 Baht/kg., while that of the low land farmers was 8.39 Baht/kg.The average cost of mulberries production (high and low lands) was 12.00 Baht/kg.Furthermore, the GAP certified farmers had the average production cost of 11.5 Baht/kg.,whereas 12.75 Baht/kg. of production cost was found from the non-GAP certified farms.The logistics management cost of the major aggregators, namely Firm A, Firm B, and FirmC were 9.58, 11.70, and 31.82 Baht/kg., respectively. These variations could be due mainlyto the differences in numbers of farmers, amount of mulberry, and post-harvestmanagement costs. For transportation cost from Phuphayak District to Bangkok by publicbuses (15 hr duration) with non-refrigerated control was ca. 71.82 Baht/kg., whilsttransportation with temperature controlled packages costed 84.07 Baht/kg. Logistics costsby air with- and without temperature controlled packages were 175.24 and 108.66 Baht/kg.,respectively which took approximately 7 hr to destination. |
