The secondary distribution network refers to the comprehensive set of activities involved in the management and execution of the post-production supply chain, encompassing storage, transportation and distribution. Secondary distribution involves the coordination of various elements, such as inventory management, order fulfillment and transportation, to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of goods to end-users. Efficient distribution network ensures timely availability of these products, enabling farmers to address pest infestations promptly and prevent significant crop losses. This manuscript on examining the issues faced by supply chain partners in the secondary distribution network for Crop Protection Chemicals (CPCs) is highly significant for the scientific community. It sheds light on crucial aspects of logistics management, secondary distribution networks and supply chain challenges in the agricultural sector. The use of the Garett Ranking Technique for analysis adds a methodological strength to the study. Overall, this manuscript provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals in the field of agrochemicals and agricultural supply chains. Based on the results, the issues faced by supply chain partners are identified and ranked on the basis of Garett Ranking Technique. Implementing barcode scanners, negotiating transportation rates and automating customer notifications can significantly reduce operational costs and improve accuracy.
