Abstract

Member Partner Countries plus Turkey (MPCs) face numerous challenges to agricultural policy and competitiveness. The current policy strategy has not generated desperately needed economic development in rural areas and growth in value-added agriculture is low compared to other developing regions, all of which indicate a need for new approaches that go beyond conventional industry analysis. Using principles from the supply chain management literature and drawing heavily from current value chain thinking, this chapter applies a Global Value Chain Analysis (GVCA) to the fresh orange export sector in MPCs. Consumer data was collected in four European countries through quantitative surveys and Tesco loyalty card data and field interviews were conducted with value chain stakeholders in MPCs. A set of policy recommendations are presented. It is hoped the findings catalyse a discussion on the use of value chain thinking in agricultural policy formation for the region.
