Abstract: Smooth, efficient agri-food supply chain (AFSC) operations are becoming ever more difficult due tomore intense and frequent natural disasters and man-made disruptions. Helping AFSCs to survive dis-turbances requires re-consideration of how to build their resilience. This study addresses this issuethrough a cross-country comparative analysis involving interviews with AFSC practitioners, thematicanalysis to generate agri-food supply chain resilience (AFSCRes) capability factors, total interpretivestructural modelling (TISM) to establish interrelationships among the factors, cross-impact matrix multi-plication applied to classification (MICMAC) analysis to categorise the factors, and comparative analysis.The results reveal that contractual restraints regulating farmers’opportunistic behaviour and regularinteractions are key factors for building AFSCRes in France and Argentina, respectively. This study alsoconfirms the critical role of farmers’associations and coordinated activities amongst all AFSC stake-holders to build AFSCRes. For triggering AFSCRes, farmers’resilience must be particularly prioritised, asthey are the least resilient point in AFSCs.
