Supply chains in agricultural systems are inherently vulnerable to various risks that can compromise product quality. This paper investigates the impact of supply chain risks on the nutritional quality of red chilli, a crucial crop in many economies. Using a case study from the red chilli production sector in South India, we identify key risk factors such as environmental disruptions, transportation delays, and market volatility. We explore how these risks affect the nutritional composition of red chilli and propose mitigation strategies to ensure consistent supply and quality. Findings from this case study underscore the need for risk management practices tailored to the agricultural sector to safeguard nutritional integrity and maintain food security.
