Governing Value Creation and Capture in NZ Agribusiness Value Chains: A Case Study

This research investigates five case studies of New Zealand global value chains to identify those value chain attributes important to return value to the producer. All highlighted the importance of ‘values’ to create ‘value’. While value is an important driver, firms were largely concerned with developing relationships in which trust became an implicit factor, based upon a foundation of shared values, vision, and culture. The presence of these throughout the chain, in addition to supporting incentives, was crucial in ensuring alignment within the value chain.
