1.1 Value chain and its aspects


A ‘value chain’ in agriculture describes the range of activities and set of actors that bring agricultural product from
production in the field to final consumption, where in at each stage, value is added to the product. The production
stages entail a combination of physical transformation and the participation of various producers and services up to
product’s disposal after use.

Figure 1: Agri-Value Chain

Pre-
production Production Processing Marketing

Successful agricultural value chains are both productive and sustainable; it is important to conserve the environment
& natural resource base; adapt to climate change, price fluctuations & consumer needs and to improve people’s lives
and livelihoods and provide sustainable pathways to sufficient, nutritious & affordable food to meet the challenge of
our growing population.

The Value chain analysis is built on a market system (in particular a supply chain), detailing both structural and
dynamic factors that affect the contributions of each actor to the chain.

End markets, business enabling environment, supporting market, vertical and horizontal linkages are the structural
factors that affect the value chain. Dynamic factors are value chain governance, inter firm relationship and upgrading.

The concept of value chain encompasses the issues of organization and coordination; the strategies and the power
relationship (including gender concerns) of the different actors in the chain. The value chain concept helps in tracing
product flows and shows value additions at different stages, identifying key actors and their relationships in the
chain, identifying enterprises that contribute to production, services and required institutional support, identifying
bottlenecks preventing progress, provides a framework for sector-specific action, identifying strategies to help local
enterprises to compete and to improve earning opportunities, identifying relevant stakeholders for program planning.

1.2 Value chain approach


A value chain approach supports integrated climate risk management through better connection of producers to
markets and increased economic returns to small farmers. It also supports in recognising the interdependency of
actors involved in all stages of a value chain and guards against climate change risks that threaten any part of this
chain and in responding to the impacts of climate change, it is impossible to provide effective support unless the
whole value chain is considered.

It is an approach that analyses a production unit or process in a market chain - from input suppliers to final buyers,
and the relationships among them. It analyses the factors influencing performance, including access to and the
requirements of end market; the legal, regulatory and policy environment; coordination between firms in the industry;
and the level and quality of support services.

1.3 Value chain assessment
A thorough assessment of dynamics amongst the actors in a value chain, factors keeping these actors together,
information sharing and relationship evolving amongst actors are required to conduct a value chain analysis. The
analysis can then be used to identify opportunities for intervention, such as providing access to finance, markets
or technology; or improving institutional or policy frameworks or the business environment. Ultimately these
interventions aim to enhance the income generation of those across the value chain.

1.4 Value chain tools and steps


Following are some of the tools to analyse the value chain

• Participant observation: It is a qualitative tool wherein an intensive involvement with people over an extended
period of time is done with an aim to gain a close and intimate familiarity with a given group of individuals.

• Semi structured Interview: It is a qualitative method of inquiry that combines a pre-determined set of open
questions with the opportunity for the interviewer to explore a particular theme. It is open in nature focus on
interviewee.

• Focus group discussion: It is a qualitative method of research wherein group of 8 to 10 people discuss a
particular theme. Moderator plays an important role in facilitating the discussion.
• Structured Questionnaire: It is a quantitative method of research. Here each interview is structured in a particular
manner.

• Market Mapping: In market mapping, market is being studied in terms of price trend of various commodity,
influence and relationship among market players. It is done to identify issues in functioning of market and
opportunity.

Steps used in value chain analysis


1. Activity Analysis
2. Value Analysis
3. Evaluation and Planning

Activity Analysis
• The activities of a value chain and sub component of each activity can be analysed.

Value Analysis
• Value that changes across the chain is analysed to achieve required standard of quality and reliability. It also
analyses factors affecting the cost, and ways and means to minimize the same.

Evaluation and Planning


• The effectiveness, future prospect, issues and constraints of the existing value chain are measured.

• The impact, sustainability of the value chain and the degree of coordination and synergy among the actors and
processes are assessed.

• Short and long-term solutions for guiding decision-making process for sustainable value chain development are
formulated.

Activities: Pre-production
This contains activities which are necessary for better production. In this, the factors of production like land, labour
and material are analysed.

Example: Land preparation, labour and material requirement and arrangement.

Training Module for using a Value Chain Analysis Approach to support


Climate Resilient Cropping Patterns 3
Activities: Production
This includes all activities of the farmers that lead to effective cultivation of crops to yield different commodities/
products.

Example: Planting the sapling or sowing the seed, irrigation, nutrient management, pest, disease management and
harvesting.

Activities: Processing and Value addition


This includes practices which modifies raw product to semi-finished one and also increases the shelf life of the
products, increases its marketability

Example: Cleaning, drying, sorting, grading, primary & secondary processing

Activities: Transportation
It aims at availing certain produces at certain location through some arrangement and equipment and vehicles.

Activities: Marketing
It is a function which results in creating options for the consumer to buy a product at optimum price and of better
quality. The product moves from farm to consumer. Different interconnected activities are involved in achieving this,
such as production planning, grading, packing, transport, storage, agro and food processing, distribution, advertising
and sale.

Training Module for using a Value Chain Analysis Approach to support


Climate Resilient Cropping Patterns 5
2.1 Mapping the core processes in the value chain
A value chain constitutes some core processes. The core processes start with production and ends with
consumption. The core processes in a value chain can be identified and detail activities in each core process can be
listed down and analysed.

An example of core processes in cotton value chain is shown below.

irrigation, plant protection activities, intercultural operations, etc.*

Green gram* Post-harvest value addition Cleaning, drying, sorting, grading, splitting/crushing for dal
and primary processing* making, packaging, etc.*
* Some examples to aid clarity

2.2 Mapping the main players involved in these processes


After mapping the core processes, the next step is to identify the actors involved and their role in these processes.
The objective of doing this is to analyse the role of each actor and to evaluate the impact of each actor on the overall
performance of the value chain. Breaking down the processes into specific detailed activities can help in analysing the
costs, revenues and margins. The actors involved in the honey value chain are illustrated below.

2.3 Mapping product, information and knowledge
In this step the analyser needs to identify the products at each stage of process (as they are transformed from inputs
to raw materials to intermediate material and to final products). Mapping creates a clear picture of what portfolio of
products are being handled. Along with the product, information and knowledge flow within a value chain need to be
identified. The volume of product can be mapped.

2.4 Mapping the geographical flow of the product


For mapping the geographical flow of the products, the pathway of travel of the product/commodity from its place of
origin or production to the final consumer through intermediary traders, wholesalers and retailers need to be mapped.
The physical flow of the product/commodity can be indicated on the map of the district/state/region/country (e.g.
figure 6).

Table 2: Product Flow Matrix


Commodity Place of Origin/Production Place of Sale Volume/ Quantity (MT)

Mango* Dhenkanal* Cuttack* 50 MT (2016-17)*

Ginger* Koraput* Bhubaneswar* 120 MT (2015-16)*

(Major market channel actors are highlighted in shaded box)

2.5 Mapping services that feed into the value chain


A potential risk with value chain analysis is that the world surrounding the value chain is not considered. Crucial
information might be found in the rules and regulations that are governing (parts of) the value chain or in services
that are feeding into the chain. Mapping these services will give an overview of the potential for interventions outside
the value chain itself. In this step, the analyser will identify the rules and regulations (export and import information)
that have an impact on export scenario and performance of value chain due to lack of crucial extension services
(training on cultivation).

2.6 Mapping constraints and potential solution


Constraints exist at almost all process levels of any value chain. For example, these could be constraints to greater
efficiency, constraints to upgrading or constraints to greater involvement of the poor and marginalised. Initial
identification of these constraints as well as potential solutions should be made at all process levels.

The handout shall cover the details of financial aspects of agri value chain as mentioned below;

3.1 Cost Benefit Analysis


Cost Benefit Analysis of a crop can be calculated by dividing total cost of cultivation to total revenue. Below format
can be used to calculate cost benefit ratio of a crop. The net profit earned by a farmer can be calculated by summing
up net profits of individual crops grown by the farmer in a year.

Kg X cost per Total cost) Total cost)
Kg)
* Some examples to aid clarity

The cost benefit ratio can be calculated for each actor in a value chain to know the profit of each actor in the value
chain. For a processor, it can be calculated by dividing total cost of production of the processed product to the total
revenue earned from selling the product. Cost benefit analysis of other actors in the value chain can be done in the
same process. For a trader, this can be calculated by dividing total cost of trading (procurement cost + value addition
& packaging cost + transportation & logistic cost + marketing cost) to the total revenue earned from selling the
product.

3.2 Value chain finance


Investment or finance is the most important factor at each stage of a commodity value chain. Value chain finance is
vital as it makes the value chain more effective and resilient. Access to finance is important for each player to expand
and perform better. Below mentioned format can be used to ascertain the degree of access of different players
to credit.

3.3 Price build up across supply chain


This is to analyse the type and number of players involved in the value chain from production till consumption of an
agricultural commodity and price build up by different players across the supply chain for the commodity. This will
help in determining the percentage of consumer price realized by each player in the supply chain.

Figure 9 depicts the price build up by different players across the supply chains and percentage of the total quantity
covered by different supply chains.

4.2 Knowledge and Capacity Mapping


To adopt sustainable agricultural practices; it is vital to have access to information, knowledge and services by
the players in a value chain. Farmers need to have access to information on scientific and sustainable cultivation
practices, market, weather, insurance and on-going government schemes. For identifying the current status in term of
access to knowledge, information and services, the data can be captured as per the format shown in table 9. This will
help in analysing the gap and scope for improvement.

4.3 Capacity Need Assessment �

Capacity need assessment is a process of evaluating existing gaps within farmer groups in terms of knowledge,
skills, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, assets and other elements required for them to achieve the pre-
specified objectives. Capacity is interrelated in three levels: Individual, organizational and enabling environment.

Three steps are involved in the capacity need assessment. The first step involves identifying the existing capacity
amongst farmer groups. At this stage, existing assets, existing knowledge and skills and existing policy environment
are identified. The second step involves identification of the desired levels of capacity. This is the capacity level
necessary for the farmer groups’ objectives to be achieved. Finally, the gap between the two steps is identified which
is the difference between the desired and the existing levels of capacity. A structured and participatory approach is
required for assessing capacity needs. Capacity need assessment shall help in planning suitable capacity building
programs to strengthen knowledge, skills, processes and systems to achieve goals and meet objectives.

The handout shall cover value chain approach to climate resiliency and analysis of climate change impacts and
responses of the value chain players at different stages of agri value chain as mentioned below;

6.1 “Value chain approach” to climate resiliency


The potential effects of climate change need to be considered in value chain development. The value chains need to
be responsive to these and other changes – climate smart and climate proof. It is important to consider the impact
of climate change from the selection of a value chain to the design of upgrading and development of strategies, and
to plan proper adaptation measures. It’s important to look at value chain functions and then integrate these into
upgrading, as the expected return on investment largely depends on the chain’s vulnerability to water, energy, soil

Climate Resilient Cropping Patterns 23
nutrients, weather, and knowledge. Climate smart factors need to be integrated during the value chain development
process to ensure the value chain is sustainable and climate resilient2.

The analysis of climate impacts and responses along the value chain can be done through qualitative and
participatory approach to elucidate perception of value chain actors on climate impacts and responses, and to
promote climate adaptation. Climate hazards such as droughts, floods and changing rainfall patterns negatively
affect all actors of a value chain, but in different ways and to different extents. Most players are making some
effort to minimize the negative impacts of climate hazards on their activities, but not all responses are sustainable.
Furthermore, a lack of communication and trust between and among the players along the value chain particularly
hampers climate adaptation.

6.2 Analysis of effects of climate change and responses on the


pre-production and production stages of agri-value chain
Agriculture is one of the most climate-sensitive sectors. Pre-production and production components of the agri-value
chain are mostly affected by climate change. Increasing global temperature and uneven rainfall pattern in recent years
have put pressure on production of various agri commodity. Increasing attention is now being given to the wide range
of crop production practices that can be considered as climate smart or climate resilient either from an adaptation
perspective, or for their mitigation potential. Adaption of climate resilient agricultural practices across the value chain
can reduce the negative affect of climate change.

For analyzing the current status of adoption of climate resilient practices in the field, the information/data can be
captured as per the format mentioned in table 13.

6.3 Analysis of effects of climate change and responses on the


post-harvest stages of agri-value chain
Much of the research on global climate change and its impact on food systems focus on the effects of climate
change on agricultural production and post-harvest value chain issues such as storage, processing and
packaging. The effect of climate change on postharvest value chains cannot be ignored. For example, higher
temperatures will reduce shelf-life of stored products while lower temperatures will do the opposite. This will
have serious post-harvest implication on all crops, especially perishable foods which easily spoil with increases in
temperature. Furthermore, the proliferation of pests and crop disease can increase due to temperature increases
and pose a great threat to effective storage. There is a need to address the effects of climate change on storage,
processing and packaging of agricultural products. This will enable to further push research in the area of post-
harvest management, especially in regard to issues of storage, preservation, processing and packaging. It will also
educate stakeholders on the impact of climate on regional post-harvest value chains so that better opportunity and
challenges can be identified to ensure food security3.

For assessing climate risk, impact & responses by the value chain players at storage, processing and marketing
stages, data/information can be captured in the format as shown in table 15.

Mapping constraints and potential solutions improves the sustainability of value chains by providing a comprehensive overview of challenges and opportunities at various stages of production. This process identifies bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and risks, allowing stakeholders to formulate targeted strategies to enhance resilience and sustainability . It fosters better resource allocation, innovation in problem-solving, and proactive planning to address environmental and market challenges .

The primary stages of an agricultural value chain include pre-production, production, processing, transportation, and marketing. Each stage is essential in adapting to climate change as they collectively influence product quality, supply, and demand. By focusing on climate-smart practices during these stages, such as improved irrigation techniques and crop management, the overall resilience and sustainability of the value chain can be enhanced .

A lack of communication and trust between value chain players hampers climate adaptation by preventing the effective exchange of information, collaboration, and coordinated response actions. This can lead to fragmented efforts where players may not fully leverage collective strengths and resources to implement adaptive measures. Consequently, it exacerbates vulnerability to climate impacts .

Potential solutions for overcoming wastage at different stages of the agricultural value chain include improving post-harvest handling techniques, adopting better storage facilities, optimizing transportation logistics, and enhancing processing efficiency. Additionally, investing in technologies that prolong shelf life and implementing better market linkage strategies can reduce wastage significantly . Engaging stakeholders in coordinated efforts to innovate and improve resource management also plays a critical role .

Improving the effectiveness of technological interventions in agricultural value chains to address climate impacts involves aligning technology with farmer needs and capacity, enabling access to climate-smart technologies, and fostering innovation partnerships. Training and education, coupled with financial incentives for adopting new technologies, can accelerate uptake and ensure sustainability . Additionally, integrating technology with traditional knowledge can enhance resilience by offering adaptable solutions that mitigate the unique challenges posed by climate change .

Climate-resilient practices vary across different stages of the value chain, with each stage requiring targeted interventions specific to its processes. For instance, during pre-production, practices may involve selecting drought-resistant seed varieties, while in production, it may involve precision irrigation systems. In processing, practices such as using renewable energy sources and reducing waste improve efficiency and sustainability . These practices enhance the resilience of the entire value chain to climate variability and extremes .

Analytical tools used in value chain analysis for climate resilient agriculture include value mapping matrices, cost-benefit analysis matrices, and climate risk assessment techniques. These tools help in evaluating and planning value chain improvements by examining how activities, costs, and value contributions influence sustainability and decision-making processes . The use of such tools allows stakeholders to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for upgrading the value chain to withstand climate impacts .

Stakeholders play crucial roles in adapting agricultural value chains to climate change by collaborating to address and mitigate climate impacts. They engage in activities such as strategic planning, capacity building, and implementing adaptive practices across the value chain stages, including production and marketing. This collaboration helps develop resilient systems by improving communication and trust among value chain actors, which is often a barrier to effective adaptation .

Value chain analysis supports climate resilient agricultural practices by systematically examining the activities and elements that create value at each stage of the agricultural production process. This analysis allows for the identification and integration of climate-smart practices by evaluating climate risks, impacts, and responses at different stages of the agri-value chain . By mapping core processes and assessing factors such as water, energy, and soil vulnerabilities, value chains can be upgraded to become more sustainable and climate-resilient .

Climate change impacts the pre-production and production stages of the agri-value chain by altering the availability and quality of resources such as land, labor, and materials. These stages face heightened risks like droughts, floods, and changing rainfall patterns, which can affect crop yield and quality . These climate hazards require strategic adaptation measures to ensure sustainable production .
