A value chain is all the activities and processes within a company that help add value to the final product. In today’s business landscape, companies across all industries are now more competitive than ever before. The agriculture value chain concept has been used since the beginning of the millennium, although there is no universally accepted definition for the term. It normally refers to the whole range of goods and services necessary for an agricultural product to move from farm to its final customer. The World Bank’s definition of the term ”value chain’’ describes the full range of value adding activities required to bring a product or service through the different phases of production, including procurement of raw materials and other inputs”.
The key to business continuity is resilience, and at the core of resilience is an ethical and sustainable-operating model. The PurposeBlack VCC model supports agility, flexibility, and influence to bring african farmers as sustainable competitors in the new world market. Profitability and shareholder returns are apparent priorities, but investors and consumers are making it clear that social purpose and environmental stewardship are critical to business success, credibility, relevance, and impact. The VCC is the platform and model to demonstrate the ethical and sustainable vision of business through action, innovation, collaboration, and transparency.
PurposeBlack’s Value Chain Corporation is the implementation arm of BEE’s end-to-end product-to-consumer model. Value chains help break down all the activities that go into producing a good or service and understanding areas of cost savings and differentiation. With a value chain, you can optimize efforts, eliminate waste, and improve profitability. The value chains help provide useful insights that can bring greater value to the end customer.
For example, you may find that a product can be produced at a lower cost by a subsidiary firm. In such a case, the company should outsource the production of the product to the subsidiary firm. The lower cost can then be passed on to the consumer as lower prices, which can help differentiate the product in the market and achieve a competitive advantage.
