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.
