Smart Assessment of Wheat Suppliers via MARCOS-based MCDM Modelling under a Neutrosophic Scenario

Abstract

: Wheat has had a substantial influence on the food security of a number of different nations.
In addition, governments are grappling with a number of difficulties, such as fast population
expansion, a lack of available water, growing urbanization, and a restricted amount of wheat
production in agricultural settings. As a result, the majority of their wheat and wheat products come
from outside sources. The purpose of this research is to discover the main wheat suppliers and rate
them according to certain criteria by analyzing the different ways of supplier selection that are
currently available. The type-2 neutrosophic numbers-Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking
according to the Compromise Solution (T2NNs-MARCOS) methodology was used in order to
evaluate, choose, and rank the most reliable wheat suppliers in the African and Middle Eastern
regions. According to the data, Russia is the country that provides the highest quality wheat. Because
of its proximity, its robust connections via official channels, and its adaptability, this provider is often
regarded as being the most reliable and cost-effective option. Because wheat is a key commodity,
importers, decision-makers, and anyone involved with wheat imports may find this research helpful
in identifying and selecting suppliers.
