Abstract

Disruptions in supply chains can lead to a market breakdown, and the products have different disruption sensitivities to processed food and fresh food. This work analyzes the disruptions caused in fresh food supply chains of Cochabamba's vulnerable downtown population, Bolivia. Based on the data collected, a new food kit delivery policy is proposed based on mobile market distribution. The data collected considered vulnerable areas in a region, communities' social characteristics as a typical diet, and food nutritional contribution, among others, for a week. Finally, this study identified the selected region's products, networks, and delivery routes.
