Value Chain Analysis of High Value Crop: Farm to Market

Abstract

The study assesses chilli supply chain, and identifies opportunities and constraints in the value chain of chilli. The Estimated Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) for chilli framing and the value addition of stakeholders along the value chain are also analyzed here. The value chain model was endorsed by more than two hundred value chain actors, including consumers, retailers, traders, farmers and officials of the relevant agricultural agency. The data was analyzed by using simple statistical technique. The study results indicate that chilli farming is profitable. However, the farmers grasp the lowest stake of the added value, while the retailers enjoy the utmost.
