摘要:Since 2011 one of the new types of food chains has been often described in scientific literature. It is called value-based food chains (VBFC) and referred to as the food chains with added values. The added values are usually expressed through three different ways such as i) high quality food products, ii) different protected designations and iii) fair business relationships among the actors in food chain. This paper discusses which are the indicators for identifying the added values and additionally unravels different social and economic interactions between actors among the supply chain, also recognized as the characteristics of VBFC.
