Summary. This study examines how supply chain management practices—purchasing, packaging, and distribution—affect food security in African indigenous vegetable value chains in Kenya's Nyanza region. The research finds that all three practices improve food security, with distribution having the strongest effect. Technological innovation enhances these relationships, supporting better outcomes. The findings guide farmers, traders, and policymakers on which practices to prioritize and which technologies to adopt for reducing losses and strengthening food security.
