Myrrh, Frankincense, and Grape Supply Chain Practices and Challenges

This study includes the supply chain management practices and challenges of the three EOTC worship requirement supplies i,e Myrrh, Frankincense, and grape. Myrrh is a gum resin extracted from some small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora. Frankincense also known as olibanum is an aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes, obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia. A grape is a berry or typically green, purple, or black growing in clusters on a grapevine, eaten as a fruit and used in making wine. Therefore, the purpose of this study was investigating the challenges and practices of the Myrrh, Frankincense, and Grape supply chain system. The study used methods of assessing the most relevant literatures written from the Web of Science, Scopus, and google scholar including Ethiopian reports to the world unions. The KJV version of the holy bible mentions frankincense more than 100 times, myrrh 18 times, and grapes 7-25 times. These resources are to be used prudently and according to Leviticus' instructions. The findings indicated that three elements of worship are taking place under various, negative circumstances. All three species are widely known around the world and in Ethiopia in particular, but little is being done about them because EOTC only spends 33,075,050,000birr annually. Even key users are not heavily involved in the import-export chain. Values: The chain's stakeholders are paying a high price and losing benefits as a result of this reasons. According to church teaching, it is also necessary to use isolated Frankincense, pure grape, and pure and tested myrrh. Standardization of the supply chain and frameworked stracture should asuured by stakeholder. As far as the government concerned, and the EOTC, which accounts for the largest portion of those three consumes, it recommend to learn from the past in order to ensure future demand and supply balances.
