Value Chain Development

Abt optimizes performance and value at every stage of the agricultural market, from farm to fork. We encourage dialogue among all stakeholders to craft integrated solutions.

Abt’s Value Chain Development Approach increases competitiveness and production, raises incomes, and promotes sustainable economic growth and food security for entrepreneurs and the rural poor. We train producers, processors, and others in the newest technologies, improve stakeholders’ business relationships, and increase micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises’ access to credit.

• We help governments assess and reform policies to accelerate agricultural growth. Our team enables producers to meet global markets’ increasingly stringent demands.
• We strive to understand and minimize organizational—as well as individual—barriers to change in government ministries, agencies, and agribusinesses. 
• We also provide environmental services to establish and maintain the soil, water, and climate conditions to support productive agriculture and a healthy workforce.
• We analyze and address forward and backward linkages that constrain people from adopting new technologies and methods.
