Insects. 2025 Aug 8;16(8):827. doi: 10.3390/insects16080827.
This study aims to foster a guideline for sustainable supply chain management for edible insect production through a comprehensive review and critical analysis of the current situation, focusing especially on Thailand's perspective. It addresses the traditional culture and modern practice of insect consumption and how these factors affect current production for commercial purposes. The advantages of nutritional values and farming with edible insects over traditional livestock farming are highlighted. A threats, opportunities, weaknesses, and strengths (TOWS) matrix analysis, producing action-oriented strategies, was based on an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of Thailand's edible insect industry. The strategies include enhancement of production and product quality, innovation of intelligent production techniques and agriculture, fortification of branding and product development, encouragement of research and development investment, and the promotion of local product identity. The analysis emphasizes the value of sustainable supply chain management and advocates for the advancement of the bio-circular green (BCG) economy strategy for the edible insect industry. It also emphasizes the importance of stakeholder collaboration and implementing regulations to ensure food safety and sustainable production.
本研究旨在通过对现状进行全面回顾和批判性分析，制定一份食用昆虫生产可持续供应链管理指南，尤其侧重于泰国的视角。它探讨了昆虫消费的传统文化与现代实践，以及这些因素如何影响当前的商业生产。突出了食用昆虫营养价值和养殖相较于传统家畜养殖的优势。基于对泰国食用昆虫产业的优势、劣势、机会和威胁（SWOT）分析，进行了威胁、机会、劣势和优势（TOWS）矩阵分析，制定了面向行动的策略。这些策略包括提高生产和产品质量、创新智能生产技术和农业、强化品牌建设和产品开发、鼓励研发投资以及推广地方产品特色。该分析强调了可持续供应链管理的价值，并倡导推进食用昆虫产业的生物循环绿色（BCG）经济战略。它还强调了利益相关者合作以及实施法规以确保食品安全和可持续生产的重要性。
