Sustainable value chain development

We conduct value chain analyses and development planning for our clients in a variety of sectors, including agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. When analysing a value chain, we investigate all aspects and role-players from source to market to identify their respective strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This informs our multi-stakeholder action plans for supply chain development, allowing small and medium businesses to upgrade their activities in these chains.
