摘要：This study examines the global value chain analysis of cocoa and garment value chain in Nigeria in order to guide business practitioners and policy makers on how to improve the operations of their agribusiness supply chains if they are to compete on the global market place. Findings revealed that the governance relation in the cocoa value chain is predominantly characterized by directed network and that quality upgrading is the most important production capability acquired by farmers through exporting to cocoa buyer companies. In the case of garment, it was revealed that the extent of standardized and designer garments that producers/wholesalers sell to retailers/consumers is with a good collaboration on garment quality definition between the producers/wholesalers and the retailers/consumers. The policy lesson is the need for policy makers to reform the policy environment regarding cocoa and garment production to make the producers competitive in the international market and allow them captures the lucrative stages of the global value chain. This is necessary in the context of diversifying the economy from oil revenue to non-oil revenue in order to place the Nigerian economy on a sustainable development path.
