Value Chain Assessment SWOT

holistic problem identification along the whole VC (production to consumption): all actors quick fix; quick problem analysis connects demand with supply inclusive time-saving interdisciplinarity can be done with less expertise
 * Strengths**

can it capture the dynamism? it was not specific to a commodity (sheep, beef, dairy, etc) [this can be a plus!] difficult to remember trend questions were included feed VC should have been studied separately sensitive economic data hard to get (eg from farmers)
 * Weaknesses**


 * Opportunities to use**
 * flexible tool - few or more human resources needed
 * can dig out opportunities and constraints as well as feasible interventions
