Abstract

The research paper deals with fundamental vulnerabilities in the international supply chain of perishable products that were revealed during recent crises like the pandemics crisis and trade wars. We suggest one such quantum optimization model in a binary quadratic formulation (BQM) to enhance the cold-chain logistics as it will integrate production nodes, distribution nodes, and retail nodes. Tests were conducted on two scenarios by the model: wheat shipments in the context of the 202021 Black Sea ports shutdown and Chilean salmon exports with the use of a hybrid quantum-classical method (QAOA). There have been up to 15 percent less goods spoiled, 12 percent shorter deliveries, and a decrease of 30 percent in audit expenditures with blockchain-enabled clear traceability. The research also assesses the implications of quantum parameter tuning to the compliance of WTO SPS and Codex Alimentarius standards. This framework shows the promise of quantum tools as the means of constructing reliable regulation-compliant agri-supply chains.
