**3. Scenarios for Comparing the Applicability of Strategic Agility under Both Stable and Turbulent COVID-19 Business Environments**

This review seeks to contribute to the knowledge of supply chain agility as a strategic alternative for developing country horticulture export supply chains. Thus, from the literature review and framework proposed, our research questions are that supply chain agility as a strategic alternative for fresh produce export supply chains from developing countries provides a better option for export organisations. Secondly, from the nuance of developing country fresh produce export supply chains, the framework proposed will be a potent tool for diagnosing, monitoring and evaluating the strategic options in both stable and turbulent business environments for fresh produce supply chains.

From the literature, Van der Heijden [74] posits that scenarios offer relevant language for strategic conversation as they allow differentiation in views. Earlier on, Porter [75] had defined a scenario as 'an internally consistent view of what the future might turn out to be'. Vorst [46] (p. 47) adds that this view refers to changes in the environment but also to the system itself and then defined a supply chain scenario as "an internally consistent view of a possible instance of the logistical supply chain concept, i.e., the managed, managing, and information systems and organisational structures in the supply chain". In addition, the literature defines a 'best practice' supply chain scenario as 'a feasible supply chain configuration and operational management and control for all supply chain stages that achieves the best outcome for the whole system' [46] and is considered to be about doing things in the most effective manner, usually focusing upon a specific activity or operation (a critical success factor) [76]. Caplice and Sheffi [77], define the effectiveness of a supply chain as 'the degree to which the objectives are realised'. The review, therefore, uses the conceptual framework for supply chain agility analysis scenarios of the stable environment (pre-COVID-19) and turbulent environment (post-COVID-19) of Ghana's pineapple export supply chain to provide an illustrative example of supply chain agility as a concept for developing mitigating strategies due to the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
