Title: | Quantifying value chain analysis in the context of livestock systems in developing countries | Contributor(s): | Rich, Karl M (author); Ross, R Brent (author); Baker, Derek (author) ; Negassa, Asfaw (author) | Publication Date: | 2011 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.foodpol.2010.11.018 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/15591 | Abstract: | The analysis of value chains has augmented our knowledge on the complexities, inter-linkages, distributional benefits, and institutional arrangements of production and marketing channels in developing countries. However, the analysis remains relatively qualitative and case-specific, with limited ability to rank or assess the impact of alternative interventions or to analyze sufficiently the complex market dynamics and feedbacks present in livestock systems. This paper offers theoretical and applied insights on ways to improve the analytical rigor of the value chain methodology that combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Food Policy, 36(2), p. 214-222 | Publisher: | Pergamon Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1873-5657 0306-9192 |
