By that standard, the perishable commodities supply chain offers plenty of issues and, hence, opportunities to develop value.

		<description><![CDATA[Fashion, by its very nature, lives on obsolescence, so it is pertinent to ask whether “sustainable fashion” is an oxymoron.
The cause of sustainability may be helped actually by the fragmentation of demand that is going on around the world. The traditional fashion business model and supply chain can’t cope effectively with the fragmented demand and short selling-windows.
