Abstract: The value of the agriculture sector is becoming even more pronounced due to increase in consumption. Therefore, ensuring sustainability in the agriculture sector is critical for the future of humanity. With the increasing power of retailers in the supply chain, they have gained importance in sustainability efforts in the sector. To achieve social, environmental, and economic sustainability in the agriculture sector, retailers need to enhance their own sustainability practices. Therefore, the agri-retail sector becomes one of a crucial area. In this study, social, environmental, and economic sustainability criteria were examined in the agri-retail sector through a sample study. The importance of the criteria was determined using the fuzzy criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method, and total interpretive structural modelling (TISM) method is used for determining interrelations between the criteria. Based on the results, the prominent sustainability criteria for the agri-retail sector were identified and evaluated.

Keywords: agricultural retail; sustainability; performance assessment; supply chain management; total interpretive structural modelling; TISM.
