Learning Lessons: Agricultural Value Chains for Development
Asian Development Bank | June 2013
Abstract
Designing projects and programs supporting the engagement of smallholder farmers and agribusinesses in increasingly dynamic, but complex agricultural value chains is becoming more challenging as market requirements and lifestyles change, and government policies shift. Yet, rising demand for safe, high-value, and differentiated agricultural products is creating unprecedented opportunities for them to participate in value chains to reduce costs, increase revenue and bargaining power, and improve access to technology, information, and capital.
