Cocoa Value Chain Analysis

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,0, Pforzheim University, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to apply the basic principles of value chain analysis to chocolate production. Although the underlying chain of activities is presented as a mere supply chain, the analysed data are expanded by assumptions about the respective imputed interest charge for each member. It offers good insight into the values created by the several participants, and challenges the general believe of an unfair profit distribution along the value chain.
