It can be a core question for the bottom-up development of the food value chain (FVC) of how agri-food producers, mainly characterised by small-scale and unstable management, can improve their profitability by participating and utilising the chain. Such a question has also been associated with issues on poverty reduction and on the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in agri-food industries and has been actively argued in the literature of value chain development.","PeriodicalId":41387,"journal":{"name":"KEATS-SHELLEY REVIEW","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79353808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
