This book focuses on three essential elements of agricultural supply chains: Planting and Growing, Processing and Selling, and Government Interventions. For decades, most agricultural economists applied macro-economic theory in decisions pertaining to the optimization of food production and distribution. However, examining challenges in agricultural supply chain operations through the lens of micro-economic theory by considering how individual farmers and food processors respond to changes in market conditions is imperative because it can enable policymakers and social enterprises to develop and design market information provision policy, incentive contracts and market structures for improving farmer, processor, and consumer welfare.
