Abstract

Food safety is more and more concerned by consumers, developing strategic cooperative relationship in the food supply chain is an important tool for achieving food safety. The paper analyzes the reason for food safety issues from the perspective of relationship conflict in food supply chain, two sources of conflict have been identified: the attitude of members in food supply chain and power structure in food supply chain. For improving relationship quality in food supply chain and hence achieving food safety, the routes of relationship management are then proposed, arguing that relationship-specific investment, incentive payment and information sharing, these will be the key drivers of supply chain collaboration for food safety.
