dc.description.abstractThis study presents a qualitative analysis focused on minimizing emissions and optimizing transport routes as objectives within the context of green logistics in the hybrid maize value chain. The aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the environmental benefits that can be achieved through efficient logistics strategies in the hybrid maize value chain. The study is mainly focused on Badulla district. Source of the data is in-depth interviews and questionnaires taken from 100 maize growers in the area of Meegahakiula and Kandaketiya. Microsoft office package was used in analyzing the data and interpreting the results. This analysis aims to provide potential reductions in emissions and evaluate the optimization of transport routes in order to support sustainable practices. The findings suggested that promoting the use of more fuel-efficient vehicles for transporting maize from farms to processing plants and distribution centers can significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions and replacing older and less efficient vehicles with newer models is required. Suggestions came out from the study are adopting advanced logistics planning and routing algorithms and it is possible to minimize the distance traveled and also improve the timeliness and reliability of maize deliveries.en_US
