The functioning of Agroindustrial Supply Chains is affected by the different internal and external contexts in which they develop. The objective of this work is to apply the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis method in an agroindustrial production chain in the Northwest of Argentina and identify the potential failures that may appear throughout its operation. Through a descriptive research and a previous background analysis, the instrument was applied in the different links of the production chain and a series of corrective measures were designed. The results obtained demonstrate the need to formulate a comprehensive Management Model for agroindustrial supply networks, which will improve their performance and contribute to the decision making process. The tool used can be adapted and replicated in agroindustrial production chains with similar characteristics.

Keywords : Risk management; FMEA; Agribusiness Supply Chain.
