The Agricultural Value Chain Development Training Course offers a comprehensive and strategic understanding of how value chains function, how they create economic opportunities, and how they contribute to resilient and market-driven agricultural systems. As global food systems evolve and expectations shift toward efficiency, sustainability, and inclusivity, organisations increasingly require professionals who can analyse agricultural value chains and design interventions that generate long-term impact.
This course provides a practical and analytical framework for understanding every stage of the agricultural value chain—from input supply and primary production to processing, logistics, distribution, and end-market consumption. Participants learn to identify bottlenecks, evaluate upgrading opportunities, and strengthen coordination among farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, service providers, and market actors. With a focus on real-world application, the course incorporates case studies that demonstrate how value chain development supports improved productivity, competitiveness, and rural livelihoods.
