As agropreneurs of fresh fruits and vegetables are important contributors to the economy, supply chain risk management is vital for their survival and growth. Therefore, this study examined the mediating effect of supply chain risk management in reducing the impact of supply chain risks and increasing supply chain performance among small scale agropreneurs in Malaysia. It also evaluated the moderating role that knowledge management plays between supply chain risks and supply chain risk management. SmartPLS 3.0 (PLS-SEM), which uses partial least squares structural equation modelling, was utilised to test the framework. Data from 430 fresh fruit and vegetable agropreneurs in the five most productive Malaysian states were collected using a questionnaire. The results confirmed (1) a negative correlation between supply chain risks and supply chain performance (2) that supply chain risk management mediates the relationship between supply chain risks and supply chain performance, and (3) that knowledge management moderates the relationship between supply chain risks and supply chain performance. Therefore, these findings could help government institutes and agropreneurs associations better appreciate the value of supply chain risk management due to its positive effect on the overall performance of agropreneurships.
由于新鲜水果和蔬菜的农业企业家是经济的重要贡献者，供应链风险管理对他们的生存和发展至关重要。因此，本研究考察了供应链风险管理在降低供应链风险影响和提高马来西亚小规模农业企业家供应链绩效方面的中介作用。它还评估了知识管理在供应链风险与供应链风险管理之间所起的调节作用。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型的SmartPLS 3.0（PLS-SEM）被用于检验该框架。通过问卷调查收集了来自马来西亚五个生产力最高的州的430名新鲜水果和蔬菜农业企业家的数据。结果证实：（1）供应链风险与供应链绩效之间存在负相关；（2）供应链风险管理在供应链风险与供应链绩效之间起中介作用；（3）知识管理在供应链风险与供应链绩效之间起调节作用。因此，这些研究结果有助于政府机构和农业企业家协会更好地认识到供应链风险管理的价值，因为它对农业企业的整体绩效具有积极影响。
