Face to face: in respective process consumer purchases the product directly from the producer on
the basis of face to face. The authenticity and trust are one of most important basis for personal
interaction.

Special proximity: In respective supply chain approach consist of the products are produced in
the specified region for production and consumers are fully aware about the nature of product

 Outsourced chain- The supply chain operations outsourcing helps businesses to
concentrate on what they can do – creating quality goods and services for their
customers.
 Direct chain- A direct supply chain is composed of a manufacturer, a provider, and a
customer engaged in the upward and/or downstream movements of goods, resources,
finances, and/or records.
 Short supply chain- Short food supply chain is a wide range of food production-
distribution-consumption configurations, such as farmers' markets, farms, collective
farmers' shops, community-sponsored farming, and solidarity buying groups.
 Long supply chain: Long supply chain legs generally require higher least buy levels. On
account of little to medium-sized organizations, this may bring about the need to
purchase overabundance stock of crude material or parts and could tie up money in held
stock that either moves gradually or not in the slightest degree. Organizers are confronted
with lower per unit costs for crude materials as an outright on the spreadsheet, yet when
analyzed against request position, costs are frequently more per unit after some time. Be
that as it may, the utilization of antiquated and covering strategies for arranging may
make this troublesome, or even inconceivable, to see until sometime later.
