MEDINA-ROJAS, Iván Darío. Perspectives on the agricultural value chain: a semisystematic literature review. Entramado [online]. 2025, vol.21, n.1, e11796.  Epub 30-Jan-2025. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.1.11796.

The agricultural value chain comprises a series of interconnected stages aimed at adding value to food products from production to final consumption. Throughout this process, various actors collaborate and contribute specifically to improve the quality and value of the product. Each link in the chain adds value to the product, from planting and harvesting to processing, transportation, marketing, and sale to the consumer. This semi-systematic literature review focuses on synthesizing and examining the most significant elements in the research of this field, as well as discerning the ongoing debates surrounding the chain derived from agricultural production. The results of this study reveal a variety of important research topics, organized into six main categories: quality of life and income, entrepreneurship and understanding of the chain, market context, innovation and technology, sustainability and food security, and risks related to perishability and post-harvest losses. This information is relevant for understanding the current state of research and the main challenges faced by the various actors participating in the agricultural value chain, from producers to final consumers. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving efficiency, sustainability, and security in the food production chain.
