Abstract: The study was guided by three hypotheses. Financing constraints are an important obstacle to the efficiency of agricultural value chains affecting all players in the chain. Financing constraints are primarily caused by informational asymmetric, which in turn limit trust amongst players and opportunities to expand markets beyond existing trade networks. Informational and financing constraints could be addressed through digitization of value chain data and establishment of data platforms.
