Abstract
Sustainable transportation has emerged as a critical component of green
logistics, particularly in agri-food supply chains where efficiency and
environmental responsibility must coexist. The Nutri-cereals supply chain,
characterized by dispersed production regions, multiple intermediaries, and
cost-sensitive logistics operations, faces significant challenges related to
fuel consumption, route inefficiencies, and delivery reliability. This study
examines the impact of sustainable transportation route optimization on
logistics efficiency within the Nutri-cereals supply chain. Adopting a
quantitative, cross-sectional research design, primary data were collected from
key supply chain stakeholders, including producers, transport operators,
wholesalers, and distributors, using a structured questionnaire. Sustainable
route optimization practices such as efficient route planning, reduced travel
distance, fuel-efficient routing, and time reliability were analysed in
relation to logistics efficiency indicators, including transportation cost
efficiency, delivery timeliness, vehicle utilization, and operational
performance. The empirical results reveal a strong and positive relationship
between sustainable route optimization and logistics efficiency, indicating
that optimized routing not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances
core operational outcomes. The findings highlight the strategic importance of
integrating sustainability-driven routing practices into Nutri-cereals
logistics to improve supply chain performance, resilience, and long-term
sustainability. The study offers valuable insights for logistics managers and
policymakers seeking to balance environmental objectives with efficiency
imperatives in agri-food supply chains.
