A multi-objective analysis for import quota policy making in a perishable fruit and vegetable supply chain: A system dynamics approach

► A two-stage agricultural supply chain is modeled using system dynamics simulation. ► The model is validated by both quantitative method and behavior reproduction test. ► Three objectives are identified: price mean, price variation, and markup. ► The multi-objective analysis provides trade-off solutions for import quota policy making. ► Contour plots examination reveals some thresholds in Pareto frontier lines.
