http://www.fao.org/3/a-au127t.pdfThe promotion of value addition in the agricultural sector through agroindustrialization is generally considered as one of the most efficient policies towards sustainable economic development. Indeed, investments in agro-processing are known to have significant multiplier effects, through its backward and forward linkages across productive chains. Other benefits from such investments stem from the relatively high levels of employment generation, the improvement in food and fiber quality and the possibility of efficient operation at small scales.
