Agricultural trade and marketing

Agricultural trade and agricultural marketing form an important part of the value chain in the agricultural sector. Free and open markets enable the global movement of goods and generate higher added value for their own products.

However, global and complex supply chains can also make access difficult and opaque for agricultural businesses. In addition, the internationally ramified movement of goods is highly sensitive to external shocks such as wars and natural disasters. And even disruptions at low-complexity production levels can cause production performance to be significantly impaired and, as a result, the adequate supply of agricultural products to be severely jeopardized.
