An agricultural value chain is all the steps involved in bringing food from the farm to the plate: from growing and rearing food, to storing and processing it, to transporting and selling it.

Agricultural value chains are complex, involving producers, agro-dealers, suppliers, food processors, transporters, traders, retailers, exporters and others.

Many smallholder farmers only produce enough food for their own consumption. Some may sell a small surplus in local markets. This makes it hard for them to thrive, with limited income to improve the quality of life or to grow their businesses. Moreover, they could struggle to recover from a single bad harvest.
