Abstract
Agricultural research organizations worldwide consider that value chains are essential for the efficient and effective management of food production systems. More than a concept, it acts as an operational model for sustainable development through the economic advantages which it could make in the global competitive marketing economy. This chapter tries to give a detailed and structural description of the value chain development process as a tool for Future Development and Management of agriculture. This chapter starts with a discussion about the value chain concept as an operational model and why it is needed in agriculture. The chapter also contains a detailed description of the history, structure, stakeholders, and players in agricultural value chains. Further, the chapter deals with the process of value addition, different models of value chain development (Farm to fork model/Farm to Foreign model/Local value chain development), frameworks for value chain development intervention like “Will-Skill” framework and Adopt-Adapt-Expand-Respond (AAER) Framework, and Business perspectives and Business development services (BDS) in agriculture value chain development. The chapter also gives a detailed description of different quantitative and qualitative methods for the value chain analysis and the role of market systems in the value chain development process. The chapter illustrated the process of value chain development and the probable constraints in each stage through real-time field examples quoted from Indian agriculture.
