Abstract — Mango is one of the essential commodities in Thailand. As a perishable product, a deteriorate in the quality of mango can
cause losses both in terms of quality and quantity throughout the supply chain. Therefore, this study aims to identify the structure of
the mango supply chain, identify risks and determine vulnerabilities that occur in each tier, and mitigate the risks that occur in the
supply chain. The data in this study were collected by purposive and snowball samplings through in-depth interviews with risk
owners throughout the supply chain. This research focused on Nam Dok Mai mangoes which are produced by Ban Haet Community
Mango Enterprises, Ban Haet District, Khon Kaen Province. Supply chain risk in commodities was examined and analyzed using
Rapid Agricultural Supply Chain Risk Assessment (RapAgRisk). The results showed that the mango supply chain consisted of four
tiers;, namely farmers, community enterprises, wholesalers and retailers. We identified several risks, i.e. weather, biological and
environment, market, logistics, and operational risks. Farmers have a vulnerability to high temperature, strong winds, pests and
diseases, price fluctuation, and management operations. Community enterprises have a vulnerability to price change and
management operational. Wholesalers have a vulnerability to demand change and obtaining rotten mangoes from farmers. Retailers
have a vulnerability to rotten mango obtained from wholesalers. Mitigation was carried out to the farmer, they should use proper
equipment, set the distance of the cropping pattern, record their farm activity, make an initial agreement with the buyer, and proper
production planning, establish windbreak, and give training about weather change adaptation and Integrated Pest Management. In
community enterprise, they should make an initial agreement with the buyer, use social media, attend fruit festival, and make a
database. In wholesalers, they should record the sales, sort the mango, and make an agreement with the supplier. In retailer level,
they should sort the mango and make an agreement with the wholesaler.

enterprises, wholesaler, and retailer as shown in Figure 3. Wholesaler usually gets Nam Dok Mai mango not only from
the community enterprises but also from farmers from
different places and regions. There are some commission
merchants for picking up mangoes and deliver to the
wholesaler, and there is some wholesaler who picking up
mangoes by themselves. Besides that, farmers will usually
deliver their mangoes directly to wholesalers using trucks or
cars. Some wholesaler in the market thus acts rather like an
agent doing transactions with the middlemen (brokers) who
deliver the commodities from the production area to the
market. The wholesaler who receives mango carries out some
activities including sorting, grading, giving bags of gasses for
ripening in each box of mangoes, packing, and selling to the
retailer or consumer.
