Map of wheat value chain
Value chain mapping enables to
visualize the flow of the product from
conception to end consumer through
various actors. In this study, value
chain analysis helps to identify the
different actors involved in the wheat
value chain, and to understand their
roles and linkages. Consequently, the
current value chain map of wheat is
depicted in Figure 2. Based on this
function, potential value chain actors
were identified; their roles, functions,
value adding processes, marketing and
relationship were sorted out.
As depicted below, the map lists
functions vertically along the left-hand
side with the final markets across the
top. The participants or actors of the
value chain are designated by boxes at
the middle. The enablers /supporters of
wheat value chain are at the right-hand
side of the chain. Product, information
and financial flows are represented by
single solid, double solid and single
broken line arrows, respectively3
