Tool: Value Chain Promotion

Description

The promotion of value chains provides an opportunity to identify bottlenecks in chains, to link up all important economic actors within a chain, to reach economies of scale and to enable local producers to meet certain standards. This contributes to the realization of higher incomes and higher employment of local producers. Promoting a value chain means supporting its development by externally facilitating a value chain upgrading strategy. Promotion is done by government agencies and development agencies together with partners within the value chain
