Upgrading trajectories: Value-addition and diversification

This chapter draws on some of the findings in the earlier chapters as well as additional literature, and highlight cross-cutting and crop-specific issues, challenges and opportunities related to value-addition and diversification It should be noted that the thematic elements in the following analysis interact closely in a synergistic manner and therefore cannot be discussed in isolation. For instance, access to quality inputs will be critical to ensuring high enough product volumes of a minimum quality. This, in turn, will be a key factor in the product’s ability to compete in domestic and international markets.
