Agricultural Value Chains

Agricultural value chains refer to the series of steps involved in bringing a crop or livestock product from the farm to the consumer. This includes activities like planting, harvesting, processing, packaging, marketing, and distribution. Each link adds value to the product, such as improving quality or increasing shelf life. Strong value chains help ensure farmers get fair prices, reduce waste, and meet consumer demands efficiently. They involve various stakeholders, including farmers, processors, traders, and retailers, working together to deliver food safely and affordably from farm to table.
