| Summary: | The rapid transformation of agri-food
value chains in Africa and other developing countries
hasimportant implications for economic growth and poverty
reduction. Policy makers increasinglyrecognize this but
there is a need for a better understanding of what value
chain transformationentails and what the main policy options
are. This paper provides an overview and analysis
ofdifferent value chain models that have emerged in the past
decades and reviews the literatureon the main development
implications. We discuss and categorize existing policy
initiativesthat aim to stimulate inclusive value chain
development. Based on this review we identifylessons and
implications for policy makers. |
