This paper aims to investigate the training requirements of diverse target groups engaged with logistics and supply chain management in the agri-food industry focusing on cereals and rice, and deploy the findings for the development of an e-training program. A field research was conducted with personal interviews to mainly logistics department supervisors of more than 150 firms, in order to detect gaps in their skills and competencies on the application of green practices in the agri-food supply chain. As a result, an e-training program was developed to support trainees to enhance their knowledge and skills in the field, and in turn to increase agri-food supply chain effectiveness and competitiveness. This paper also presents the curriculum content development, which was based on training needs analysis. The utilisation of the Moodle platform for the curriculum content building and the e-training program implementation and delivery, is also discussed.
