Resumen
Descripción
Formal and informal small and medium agro-enterprises (SMAEs) account for a large share of rural jobs and contribute significantly to total value added in the agro-industry sector. With their extensive knowledge of local resources and supply patterns, SMAEs can constitute an important source of local supplies and services for larger buyers. They also represent an important source of innovation in developing new products or services and exploring innovative sourcing and distribution mechanisms. S MAEs can thus have a positive role in modern value chains while linking farmers to markets and creating employment opportunities for the rural poor.
