“…Public sector actors could, for example, support smaller agri‐food firms' pursuit of origin‐based differentiation benefits by directing promotional and R&D investments (Charlet and Henneberry, 1991; Farina, 1994; Shaw and Young, 2000) toward product areas in which their country and its various regions seem to enjoy positive “country‐of‐origin” reputations. Private sector organisations (including industry/trade associations and managers of agribusiness cooperatives) could additionally assist, by targeting investments toward relevant new technologies and product/process innovations (Schimmelpfennig and Thirtle, 1999; Galloway et al , 2004).…”

PurposeThe paper aims to explore the relevance of key marketing concepts, including market orientation, marketing competencies and resources, and competitive marketing strategies, in explaining international market success among smaller agri‐food companies.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a multi‐case research, involving five small to medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs), from different agri‐food sub‐sectors. The research employed a semi‐structured interview guide, and subjected the generated data to meaning‐oriented content analysis procedure.FindingsEvidence points to the influential impact of adopting a marketing orientation; developing advantage‐generating competencies in the product, channel and relationship management areas; leveraging strategically‐relevant managerial, production and brand/reputational resources; and deploying appropriate competitive marketing strategies.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations and implications of the research generally relate to the use of a small, non‐representative sample and the less than robust specification of the major constructs explored in the study. Future researchers should strive to obtain larger samples, develop a set of relevant hypotheses and test same using appropriate statistical techniques.Originality/valueFindings offer a set of important lessons for smaller agri‐food companies and policy makers seeking to improve performance levels in international markets. They also add to the limited body of knowledge on the key influences on international marketing success within the agri‐food sector.

“…To focus on the socio-environmental and economic criteria compatible with bioeconomy targets, the method had to capture local values and indicators. Indicators used to analyze value chains in general are not based on the perspective of producers or the local population [11][12][13]46]. Through citizen science and the participation of local actors in the identification of appropriate criteria and indicators, an original analysis may capture crucial aspects connected to human well-being and environmental issues.…”

“…On the contrary, income distribution and environmental preservation are generally seen as restrictions imposed, for instance, by legislative bodies. Only exceptionally, the development of a strategic subsystem is seen as an opportunity for capturing value, such as a brand that builds on social or environmental attributes [11][12][13]. Even then, a focus on competitiveness imposes a vision of maximizing output in the short term, disregarding long-run socio-environmental limits and risks.…”

When Do Supply Chains Strengthen Biological and Cultural Diversity? Methods and Indicators for the Socio-Biodiversity Bioeconomy

The bioeconomy has gained traction among the broader discourses on sustainable development, ecological transition, and the circular economy. Governments in the Global North and international institutions maintain that the bioeconomy can gradually replace fossil-based raw materials and nonrenewable resources with biomass and biological renewables. The Global South has increasingly adopted the approach, but with important variations across mega-biodiverse regions. In these regions, the bioeconomy must encourage economic activities that preserve biodiversity and strengthen local communities, promoting their well-being and cultural diversity. This paper argues that conventional research methods and indicators are not fit for this purpose. We therefore propose an alternative method and indicators and present an initial validation of the approach with an application to the pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) value chain in the Brazilian Amazon. By applying a bottom-up approach to evaluation that considers the perspective of the individuals and communities involved, the proposed methodology captures relevant dimensions of the value chain—including trade-offs—-while identifying bottlenecks and the role of institutions. It also allows for verification of the achievement of the objectives of the socio-biodiversity bioeconomy in this model. The application to the case study finds that the managed pirarucu fisheries are a viable value chain associated with improved fish stocks and lower than average forest loss. Socio-economic benefits include the generation of reasonable income and greater participation by women. Income remains a complement to other sources of livelihood, however, and attractiveness to local communities is an issue. Positive outcomes are owed largely to local knowledge, collective action, and the role played by meta-organizations, while negative ones such as overfishing have resulted from institutional failures. Conventional analysis would likely not have considered these factors and missed these policy lessons. This corroborates the view that alternative methods and indicators are needed for the socio-biodiversity bioeconomy. While the application to the case study suggests the method and the indicators are conceptually suitable, we identify a number of shortcomings regarding the identification of interventions, attribution, and monitoring of the sustainability of the model.

“…These factors may be internal, such as the technology used, the management strategies applied or even the size of the farm, or external, such as the environment, society and its consumption patterns (Espejo & Frezatti, 2008). Farina (1994) discusses the complex context of agribusiness, in which conflicts arise among market participants who are supposed to cooperate. In this scenario, according to the author, management and segmentation strategies should be aimed at the market, in order to meet consumer demands and constantly seek innovations.…”
