Inclusion of Small and Medium-Sized Producers in High-Value Agro-Food Chains
This paper discusses the insertion of small and medium-sized producers in national, regional and international high-value agriculture value chains. It identifies four major constraints that limit producers competitiveness, and it examines how project interventions, by overcoming these constraints, can improve competitiveness factors and ensure that producers’ inclusion in the value chain is based on a viable business case, rather than corporate social responsibility.
