Building Agri Supply Chains: Issues and Guidelines
نویسنده
چکیده
Integrated supply chains are one of the most powerful competitive tools in today's globalizing business economy. For agricultural products, successful supply chain development projects reduce not only the transaction costs but also the institutional barriers that decouple individual links in traditional distribution channels.

This paper also draws on the experience of the Agri-Chain Competence Center to discuss the critical issues and step-by-step actions necessary to stimulate and support the emergence of supply chains in developing countries.
