520 3 _aThis book highlights the current status and future course of agro-industries and bringing further attention to the valuable contribution that the agro-industrial sector can make to international development. This book explores different elements of the broad issues associated with the development of agro-industries that are competitive, equitable and inclusive, with a focus on developing countries. The book consists of seven chapters. The three chapters following the introduction together provide an overview of the main trends, characteristics and impacts of agro-industries in developing countries. A cross-cutting theme in these chapters is the importance of viewing agro-industries within the context of the wider restructuring of agrifood systems. The book consists of eight chapters. Chapter 2 characterizes the processes of agro-industrialization in developing countries and builds a political case for agro-industries as a driver of growth and development. Chapter 3 develops the case around two main arguments. One cornerstone of their argument is that rapid changes in agrifood systems are shifting the basis for competitiveness. Their second argument relates to the pervasiveness of the impacts of agro-industries. Chapter 4 focuses on trends, characteristics and impacts of agro-industries. Enabling environments for competitive agro-industries are discussed in Chapter 5. The issue of inclusiveness in agro-industries is the focus of Chapter 6. The issue of responsible business practices is the subject of Chapter 7.
