A. Devaux, Máximo Torero, Jason Donovan, Douglas Horton · 2018 · Journal of Agribusiness in Developing and Emerging Economies

Summary. This review examines inclusive value-chain development in agriculture across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The authors find that smallholders face barriers to participating in expanding agricultural markets, but successful interventions combine value-chain approaches with innovation systems and rural livelihoods frameworks. The paper identifies key attributes of effective interventions and proposes evaluation methods for complex value-chain projects.
