*3.3. Propositions*

This review paper based on the above narratives recommends the following three research propositions to be empirically explored in future research:

**Proposition 1.** *The tactical and operational applicability of the agility framework under nonpandemic or stable international business environment as established by Yawson and Aguiar [66] as having potential strategic efficacy and diagnosing bottlenecks to enable the realignment of disrupted fresh produce supply chains under pandemic disrupted global business environment.*

**Proposition 2.** *The critical areas of focus to drive strategic agility framework application under turbulent or pandemic conditions are: flexibility of production infrastructure; amenability of external logistic infrastructure and effective strategic training programme across producer organisations.*

**Proposition 3.** *A diversification strategy in the form of developing a complementary premium local market channel alongside international markets holds stabilizing potential for the industry.*
