Addressing poverty through Inclusion in global production chains: Who wants it?

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction The promotion of social inclusion of smallholders in commodity chains is part of new development policies (‘change through chains’). As a consequence, there is a renewed interest in different forms of contract farming as instruments for inclusion. A major assumption in much of the value chain (VC) literature is that inclusion, insertion or participation of smallholders in VCs, particularly global chains, will be beneficial for them in terms of addressing income poverty and for that reason is desirable. Exclusion, not inclusion, is considered by policy makers as having negative consequences for producers.
