| Smallholder farmers operate in vertical supply chains. Therefore, an understanding of key opportunities and constraints up through the value chain becomes necessary for sustaining smallholder growth. Yet market analysis is of little value unless key private and public sector stakeholders agree to implement necessary reforms. This paper advocates an approach which marries together value chain analysis with a stakeholder taskforce to ensure that analysis of opportunities and constraints gets translated into actions that will facilitate commercial growth. Using Zambia’s cassava task force as an example, the paper describes the value chain task force method and identifies elements critical to its effective implementation. |

| In most developing countries, historically, the main strategy for improving the food sector has focused on increasing farm-level production. But in recent years, with the emphasis on value chain analysis, there has been much more focus on subsector studies, demand-driven approaches, and improving vertical coordination to assure product quality to final consumption markets. Millet, sorghum, and later rice were the traditional leading three cereal crops produced and consumed in Mali. Maize has trailed them for more than two decades, but from mid 1990s on, it has been produced and consumed in much larger quantities. Given the potentials of maize, developing and better organizing its subsector has the potential to not only increase revenues for maize farmers,... |

| El cultivo de hongo comestible seta (Pleurotus Ostreatus), es un sistema de Bioconversión ecológica, pues lo que al hombre le es poco útil y que desecha; lo transforma en alimento proteínico, medicinal y en mercancía para venta. Esta alternativa productiva ha sido explotada con éxito desde hace mucho tiempo en otros países, donde al emplear tecnologías de bajo costo, adaptadas al clima, a los recursos agrícolas y a las Condiciones económicas; fortalecen el potencial de los hongos en su ámbito nacional. En tal sentido, el presente estudio recopila información de índole biológica, técnica, económica y financiera de un proyecto de inversión sobre el establecimiento de una planta productora de hongo seta en San Jerónimo Amanalco, Estado de México. Se pretende... |

| El maíz es el cultivo más importante de México cuya superficie de siembra es de 8 millones de hectáreas con un rendimiento promedio de 3 ton/ha. Su aprovechamiento involucra los granos, tallos, espigas, raíces, olote y brácteas (“hoja para tamal”) utilizados para diversos propósitos en la alimentación humana, animal, medicinal e industrial. Se ha considerado que la principal forma de consumo del maíz es a través de la tortilla, donde, alrededor de 12.3 millones de toneladas de maíz se consumen en esta forma. En este sentido, los maíces mejorados han sido esenciales para dicho propósito, sin embargo, el uso de los maíces nativos o criollos, también ha sido de gran importancia ya que son un reservorio de la variabilidad genética y han sido la base de la... |

| In this paper we discuss the relations between the increased quality standards of traditional food products and the structuring and management of the value chain. We address the importance of different quality dimensions, and how they are combined in superior strategic configurations to achieve competitive advantage in particular in up market segments. We elaborate on the competitive positioning tools and the resource configuration of the value chain necessary for creating sustainable competitive advantage for small and medium-sized enterprises. We present results from 11 in-depth interviews with representatives from the fragmented Norwegian value chain for lamb products. The results show that to achieve customer-oriented differentiation focus effect and... |

| The wine value chain is characterized by its traditional nature. The transformation of the raw material makes lasting products with a high added value, which entails large price differences between producers and consumers. Given the socioeconomic important of this sector, it has specially been taken into account by the administration, with a high level of intervention. There is an ample range of interventions, from a qualitative and from a quantitative point of view. The main objective of all these policies is the intention of controlling the supply and stimulating the demand. The impact of these measures is considered in the short term, to solve the surplus problems. However, at the long run, it has a negative impact. The new framework of the wine... |

| Sokan és sokszor hangoztatják a minőségi termékelőállítás fontosságát, a mi-nőség fokozását, de kevesebben térnek arra ki, hogy végül is mit célszerű fokozni, milyen minőséget indokolt előállítani, mert eltérő minőségkategóriák léteznek az értéklánc folyamatában. Más a megítélés a termelőnél, más a feldolgozónál és teljesen más lehet a forgalmazónál. A végső „minőségellenőr” végül is a fogyasz-tó. Kérdés csupán az, hogy a fogyasztói értékítélet mennyire jelenik meg az ér-téklánc korábbi szakaszainál, ki mit tehet, illetve tesz a minőség növelése érde-kében. Szinte feltáratlan mindezek mellett a minőség költségeinek kérdésköre, a gazdaságilag optimális minőség. A tanulmány problémafelvető a sertéshúsverti-kumban, de hasonló és részletesebb vizsgálatok... |

| Using original data collected about growers, traders, processors, markets, and village communities, we compare the situation in four states – Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Orissa. We examine the way that information about crop attributes is conveyed (or not) along the value chain. We also document the infrastructure available at the level of the market. We find that little information circulates about unobservable crop characteristics. Growers receive a price premium when they dry, grade, and pack their produce, but we find no evidence that information about crop health and safety or agricultural practices circulates through the value chain or that growers are encouraged to follow specific agricultural practices for quality purposes. Market... |

| The value chain is a new concept inside the agricultural development in Mexico that involves having in mind the demands of the consumers for the development of commercialization strategies for fruits. The nutritional and functional properties can add value to food. The mango and byproducts generated during its processing or marketing are a very important source of bioactive compounds with high added value, mostly dietary fiber, micronutrients, polyphenols, carotenoids, among many others. These can be valorisated through multidisciplinary research, innovation, technology transfer, development of market studies and business plans, as well as the accompaniment during the management and implementation of functional foods in agro-business. |

| This piece of work presents three cases: Caprica, Productores de Chihuahua and Los Porcicultores, all of which have united their efforts and created enterprises as a strategy through which the participants –small producers- generate networks to associate. This allows them the opportunity to insert in value chains and acquire better conditions for their goods, and at the same time they can give them an added value, and by doing this, they find themselves in a different state of integration and insertion in the value chain, which gives them the opportunity to face the challenges of actual life. This paper visualizes the enterprise from the systemic perspective, and as a collectivity of capabilities. Also, it presents the concept of network - individual or... |

| Castor is possibly one of Nigeria’s most under-appreciated assets. Its potential as an industrial raw material can be fully realized by a critical appraisal of its value chain. This article reviews Castor value chain in Nigeria and identifies the constraints and strategies for improving its use as an industrial raw material. The strategies proposed can serve as a guide for castor value addition among operators and policy makers in a bid to maximize castor industrial potentials. A review of the uses of castor after value addition indicated that it can be used in over 10 industries namely; agriculture, food, paper, electronics and telecommunication, textile, pharmaceutical, Cosmetic and Perfume, Paint, Lubricant, Plastic and Rubber industries. Constraints... |

| The western part of China has a long history and reputation of growing a variety of quality melons largely due to its semi arid agronomic environment. In the past decade, the industry suffered from the interrelated issues of unreliable quality and intense price competition. Even though both the government and supply chain stakeholders are aware of the problems, there is a need to look at the issues from a supply chain perspective and new ways of managing the melon supply chains are to be explored. This paper analysed the melon supply chain in western China in the areas of logistical efficiency and supply chain relationship management. The results of the analysis offer insights for improving the efficiency of the melon supply chain and the competitiveness... |
