Amanor-Boadu [26] | Value-adding activity has to satisfy two conditions: (1) if one is rewarded for performing any activity that has traditionally been performed at another stage further down the supply chain; or (2) if one is rewarded for performing an activity that is discovered to be necessary, but has never been performed in the supply chain. |
Coltrain et al. [24] | Value-adding is economically adding value to a product by changing its current place, time, and form characteristics to characteristics more preferred in the marketplace. |
Ernst and Woods [27] | “Value-added agriculture” is a broad term encompassing many practices that increase the value of farm products. Value-added agriculture has come to describe practices as varied as agri-tourism activities that provide consumers with value from visiting a farm to large-scale processing endeavors that create mass-market retail food products from commodity crops. |
Lu and Dudensing [28] | Value-added agriculture is a portfolio of agricultural practices that enable farmers to align with consumer preferences for agricultural or food products with form, space, time, identity, and quality characteristics that are not present in conventionally-produced raw agricultural commodities. Value-added agriculture can be characterized by farmers changing their position in the supply chain, creating closer or direct linkages between themselves and consumers, or changing production processes to alter or preserve certain intrinsic characteristics of their farm/ranch products. |
USDA [29] | The agricultural commodity must meet one of the following five value-added methodologies:
|
Womach [25] | Value-added refers most generally to manufacturing processes that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities. Value-added agriculture may also refer to increasing the economic value of a commodity through particular production processes, e.g., organic produce, or through regionally-branded products that increase consumer appeal and willingness to pay a premium over similar but undifferentiated products. |
