Identifying Value Co-Creation Factors in Organic Agricultural Supply Chains

This dataset was generated from a Fuzzy Delphi–based expert survey conducted to validate and prioritize critical factors influencing value co-creation in organic agricultural supply chains. The survey involved 213 domain experts drawn from five key stakeholder groups: farmers, distributors, retailers, processors, and certification authorities, all of whom are directly involved in production, certification, logistics, governance, and market operations within organic agriculture.

The dataset captures expert judgments on 15 validated factors grouped into three domains: digital product authentication, supply chain efficiency and collaboration, and regulatory compliance and sustainability. Expert evaluations were collected using a fuzzy Likert scale expressed as triangular fuzzy numbers (L, M, U), where L represents the lower estimate, M the most likely estimate, and U the upper estimate of each factor’s importance. This structure allows the dataset to reflect the uncertainty and subjectivity inherent in expert decision-making.

Data were collected across two Delphi rounds. In Round 1, experts independently rated each factor. The responses were aggregated and shared with the panel to promote reflection and consensus building. In Round 2, experts revised their judgments based on group feedback, leading to greater convergence and stability of opinions. The final dataset includes both round-wise individual responses and aggregated fuzzy values, along with defuzzified scores used for ranking and prioritization.

This dataset is designed for use in HDFT-AHP (Hybrid Delphi–Fuzzy AHP) and other multi-criteria decision-making models, enabling the identification, validation, and prioritization of key value co-creation drivers in organic agricultural supply chains.
