Abstract
This paper presents a research agenda on innovation through (international) food
supply chains and networks in developing countries. It derives major topics from a
multi-perspective view on international food chains (economic, technology,
social/legal and environment) and from different theoretical streams dealing with
chains and networks (Supply Chain Management, Industrial Organization theory
and Network Theory). Three agri-supply chain projects in developing countries
(Thailand, South-Africa, Ghana) are analyzed to identify focus areas in supply chain
development projects and important gaps. These projects were collaborative actions
between companies and research institutes to initiate international supply chain
development.
