Abstract

The study uses three elements of value chain analysis (VCA) – network structure, added value, and governance – to explore upgrading possibilities of value chains of producer organisations (PO)s in Indonesia in order to link smallholders to the modern retail market. Qualitative data are obtained through semi-structured interviews with PO members and other value chain actors. POs upgrade their value chains through linking smallholders with the modern retail market. Upgrading network structures is achieved by building collaboration between PO members and buyers. Upgrading added value is obtained by increasing the capability of farmers to meet quality requirements. Upgrading of governance structures in the chains is reached through contracts as vertical governance mechanisms and enhanced member services as horizontal arrangements.

通过生产者组织提升价值链:将印尼的蔬菜小农与现代零售市场联系起来

该研究使用了价值链分析（VCA）的三个要素——网络结构、附加值和治理——来探索印尼生产商组织价值链升级的可能性，以将小农户与现代零售市场联系起来。定性数据是通过对PO成员和其他价值链参与者的半结构化访谈获得的。PO通过将小农户与现代零售市场联系起来，升级其价值链。升级网络结构是通过在PO成员和买家之间建立协作来实现的。提高附加值是通过提高农民满足质量要求的能力来实现的。链中治理结构的升级是通过作为纵向治理机制的合同和作为横向安排的加强成员服务来实现的。

期刊介绍： Understanding the development of the food system requires a system view that captures the complexity of the system and its many interrelationships with its economic, social and natural environments. The Journal accepts and offers papers within this broad range of issues focussing on the management, policy, marketing, consumer aspects, transparency, e-commerce, institutional or regional development, information and communication systems, ressource economics, production economics, chain management, network economics, and similar aspects. Papers may focus on modeling, empirical research or theoretical analyis. This broad range of publication opportunities asks authors to follow clear lines of arguments and to present arguments in a convincing way that avoids unnecessary complexities of model formulations if not relevant for the support of arguments. The publication of scientific articles is complemented by a number of sections that provide room for publications with a more specific focus: ''Case studies'': A section on case studies of the ''Harvard Type'' allows the publication of studies that might build on established scientific methodology but demonstrate its use in ceratin decision environments. Case studies might be complemented by ''teaching cases'' that are kept on a database outside the journal but accessible to readers on approval by authors. ''Research Forum'': It allows to discuss newly emerging research challenges or to contribute to ongoing scientific discussions on research problems. In addition, authors might initiate a discussion on issues brought up by articles published in the journal. ''Research Notes'': It provides room for specific shorter scientific contributions with a narrow scope.
