D1.4. Network analysis of global agri-food trade flows

D1.4. will build on previous research by applying the network analysis approach to selected key value chains important from the development perspective, using the inter-country input- output (ICIO) table. The network analysis applied to trade in value added will help to describe the structure of agri-food GVCs and understand how different kinds of shocks can affect the resilience of agriculture and food systems and the needs in terms of policy action. The network analysis will inform on the different architecture of the various agri-food supply chains in terms of centrality, concentration, length and distance from final demand and distribution of value.
