| Abstract |
This paper aims to analyze ethanol supply chain in Thailand. The analysis covered three
main parts: supply chain structure, material flow and related costs in supply chain. The results
showed that Thai ethanol supply chain is complex because it involves many stakeholders in both
public and private agencies. Molasses and cassava are the main feedstocks of ethanol production in
Thailand, so the upstream suppliers of ethanol supply chain are sugarcane and cassava farmers, and
the collectors. The feedstocks cost of ethanol plants is high due to the fluctuation of sugarcane and
cassava price. There is also a trade barrier to control both production and transportation of ethanol
because it under the Liquor Act. Moreover, the distribution of ethanol has low efficiency and long
distance of truck transport contribute to high transportation cost. Consequently, logistics system of
Thai ethanol supply chain should be improved more efficient in order to support demand expansion
of ethanol industry. |
