As an agricultural graduate, this "Issues in Supply Chain Management" course mostly reinforced existing knowledge. While covering global trade and future trends, its general level lacked specific relevance to the Indian agricultural context. Therefore, direct applicability to my situation is limited. It serves as a broad overview rather than offering in-depth, localized insights.
