TI - Quantifying value chain analysis in the context of livestock systems in developing countries SN - 0306-9192 PY - 2011/// CY - United Kingdom PB - Elsevier KW - Developing Countries KW - Livestock KW - AGROVOC KW - Value chain N1 - Peer review; Peer-review: Yes - Open Access: Yes|http://science.thomsonreuters.com/cgi-bin/jrnlst/jlresults.cgi?PC=MASTER&ISSN=0306-9192; Non-CRP N2 - 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 UR - https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12665/1229 T2 - Food Policy DO - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodpol.2010.11.018 ER -
