It also raises the awareness of logistics management to improve the welfare of rural communities. Therefore, this study organizes the actors in the rural logistics network and plans management functions for the efficient distribution of products across Indonesia. Originality/value: There are fewer studies in rural logistics compared to other fields such as agricultural logistics, food logistics, disaster logistics, etc. Social implications: This model is a strategy to achieve the Rural Sustainable development Goals (Rural-SDGs) agenda and complements the Blueprint of The National Logistics System. It also reduces the role of speculators in product distribution in form of availability and price in rural areas. Practical implications: This study promotes the actors in intermediaries of the rural logistics system to synergize the distribution of goods effectively and efficiently. Research limitations/implications: This model is conceptual, therefore, future studies must accommodate optimizing models to predict the performance of rural logistics systems when they are applied in Indonesia. Furthermore, it also proposed the management function of the rural logistics system models.įindings: The model of a rural logistics system obtained in this study consists of 1) a trade related to the network of business, 2) a freight, related to the flow of goods, and 3) management functions related to crucial activities in rural logistics management.

The method consists of developing stages based on four components, namely network structure, management, resources, and business processes. Therefore, this study aims to develop a conceptual framework of the rural logistics system model to influence the welfare and sustainability of farmers.ĭesign/methodology/approach: Conceptual framework was used to evaluate logistics and supply chain networks. Purpose: The role of speculators in distributing products across rural areas is increasing the poverty rate in Indonesia.
