commodity chains  

Définition

  • A COMMODITY CHAIN is the connected path across which raw materials travel to become processed into finished goods, and eventually consumed. For example, coffee may move along a commodity chain from the site in Columbia, where it is grown by a peasant producer, through a buyer in Argentina, to a processing plant in Jacksonville, Florida, to a big box store in Des Moines, Iowa, where a consumer buys it and drinks it in Cedar Rapids.
