“…Y dentro de estas dimensiones se utiliza la confianza, el poder de negociación, incertidumbre, transacción, costos de transacción, contratos, acuerdos verbales, integración vertical u horizontal, entre otros, para dar respuestas a las interrogantes planteadas. Kang'ethe (2015), hace referencia que el marco institucional ofrece una plataforma apropiada para la coordinación y desarrollo de una cadena de valor, al promover la confianza entre los participantes en la cadena de valor lo cual impacta de manera directa en la manera en que se gobierna las CV Así mismo Kang'ethe (2016), señala que el tipo de gobernanza generada tiene un impacto directo sobre los costos de transacción que se presentan en las CV y sobre la legitimidad de estos.…”

Se describen los enfoques del análisis de la gobernanza en las cadenas de valor (CV), y como estas investigaciones abordan las dimensiones de la gobernanza y como afectan a la CV. El objetivo del presente trabajo es realizar una revisión y clasificación de publicaciones sobre el tema de cadenas de valor, identificando las áreas de investigación (industria) y tipo de investigación (metodología) utilizadas para abordar el tema de la gobernanza y como la gobernanza incide en la promoción de un desarrollo adecuado de la CV Una vez analizados los diferentes documentos se observa que la cadena de valor sigue siendo un marco de análisis vigente y que la gobernanza promueve el entendimiento y evidencia las variables que están afectando la distribución de valor a lo largo de la CV pero que es necesario seguir trabajando en estos temas para dar mayor robustez a las explicaciones.

“…The "sustainable" products are credence goods, which means that individual consumers cannot check the attributes which are decisive for the purchasing decision and the higher willingness to pay without incurring prohibitively high costs (Anania and Nisticò, 2004). The ensuing information asymmetry between the value chain actors (Shen et al, 2019;Vosooghidizaji et al, 2020) inhibits the development of markets for such goods (Akerlof, 1970) unless suitable governance mechanisms create trust in the reliability of claims (Gachukia, 2015).…”

“…Sustainability-based agri-food value chains must not only solve problems in production modes, management practices, technological innovations, and consumer behavior (Pérez-Mesa et al, 2019) and acquire capacities in leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, knowledge and learning (Peterson, 2009;Braun et al, 2022); similarly important is overcoming information asymmetries which arise from the sustainability claims at the core of the value proposition. The sustainability attributes refer to process characteristics which cannot be verified by customers through sensory experience of the product at the point of sale; this is a general characteristic of credence goods (Gachukia, 2015). The ensuing information asymmetry enables fraud and can lead to a collapse of markets or prevent their development in the first place (Akerlof, 1970).…”

Value chains that generate an increased willingness to pay among consumers by offering enhanced levels of sustainability are widely discussed as an important strategy for creating new business opportunities and fostering food system transformation. Previous research has highlighted the importance of governance arrangements to secure the trust necessary for the establishment of sustainability-based value chains. However, how different coordination designs by private and public actors along the value chain affect trust formation is not well understood. To address this question, this paper combines the concepts of hybrid governance and multidimensional trust to guide a comparative analysis of five sustainability-based agri-food value chains in Germany as exemplary case studies. The findings show that different types of governance activities are necessary to build the capacity to address four different sources of trust: dispositional, affinitive, rational and procedural trust. Building trust capacities facilitates coordination of activities along the value chain and reliable delivery of sustainability-related value propositions. In all five cases, governance arrangements and building of trust capacities were geared towards increasing willingness to pay. Sustainability-based agri-food value chains have therefore limited potential to internalize the agri-food sector’s substantial negative externalities.

“…Agri-food chains have food quality and safety characteristics that can contribute to credibility and consumer acceptance. Examples are food safety, healthy and nutritional food, authenticity, sustainable production processes and Fair Trade (Gachukia, 2015). Third party certification helps to guarantee these requirements (Gachukia, 2015).…”

An important goal across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and globally, is to foster a healthy nutrition. A strengthening of the diversity, sustainability, resilience and connectivity of food systems is increasingly seen as a key leverage point. Governance arrangements play a central role in connecting sustainable, resilient farming with healthy nutrition. In this article, we elaborate a framework for assessing, monitoring and improving the governance of food systems. Our focus is on food chains in six peri-urban and urban regions in SSA. A literature review on food chain governance and a mapping of current agri-food chains in the six regions provide the basis for the elaboration of an indicator-based assessment framework. The framework is adapted to the specific conditions of SSA and related goals. The assessment framework is then used to identify the challenges and opportunities in food chain governance in the six regions. The first testing of the framework indicates that the approach can help to identify disconnects, conflicting goals and tensions in food systems, and to formulate strategies for empowering agri-food chain actors in transitioning toward more efficient, equitable and sustainable agri-food systems. The article is concluded with a brief reflection on the strengths and weaknesses of the framework and suggests further testing and refinement.
