The June 2009 issue of the LEISA magazine opens the debate on the value of value chain development for poverty reduction.
Victor Attuquaye Clottey (Ghana) argues that innovative agri-business has the potential to get farmers out of the poverty chain. Farmers in northern Ghana doubled their incomes from selling farm products in 2005-2008.
Gertjan Becx on the other hand says that there are many constraints for small-scale farmers to become entrepreneurial. Only "pro-poor" value chains will benefit the neeediest farmers.
What do you think? Is value chain development indeed going to lead to rural development and less poverty? Can men and women benefit equally? Or are other strategies more promising?
Please leave your reaction for colleague workers to read.
