Abstract
This research is an empirical assessment of wood products supply
chain in a developing economy using Bodija wood market in Ibadan, Nigeria as
case study. The study examined the nature of supply chain collaboration
employed by the operators to achieve their business objectives and the roles
played by extant government rules guiding SC of wood products. The study is
based on a randomly selected set of 147 constituents of the SC. Two
hypotheses were tested in the study, evidence from the study shows that supply
chain relationship is positively influenced by reduction in operational costs and
higher levels of customer’s relationship. Further analysis shows that extant
governmental policies have significant influence on supply chain performance
(SCP) .Policies on taxation, and forest management techniques have strong
influence on achievement of benefits of the chain. The paper suggests tangible
business and policy measures for the development of wood products SC in
Nigeria.
