description This research aimed to find the supply chain management characteristics of agricultural products, and aromatic coconut. This analysis would lead to a supply chain management model. The sample group used in the research comprised of the farmers who grow aromatic coconut and who resided in Phutthamonthon district, Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand. This amounted to 600 respondents and 9 key informants who were used in the mixed methods study. The quantitative research used questionnaires and the qualitative research applied an interview method in a phenomenological approach. The statistics used in data analysis included percentages, means, standard deviations and composition analysis using the main component analysis method and rotating the axis by the Varimax process. It was found that the supply chain management model of aromatic coconut agricultural products was as appropriate one to consider for the amount of farmers'. This would serve to promote the supply chain management model with the participation of the community which will hopefully lead to joint decision making, problem solving and resource mobilization. The findings are important as they will support businesses in the community to become successful, selfreliant, and sustainable. The model is a useful guideline for farmers to develop according to the situation of the external environment and strong business competition. By adopting an agricultural supply chain management model that uses information technology in the process, will also result in the further development of the supply chain management model for agricultural products in general.
