Abstract

The Nepalese government is piloting five agricultural projects described as taking a value chain approach to development. Although consumer value lies at the core of value chain management principles, none of these projects adopts a consumer perspective. This is an example of a more widespread gap in both the literature and practice as to how consumer perspectives can be used in the development of agrifood value chains in developing countries. Using a consumer segmentation analysis, this paper examines consumer values in the consumption of fresh tomato in Nepal and their implications for value chain development.
