This insightful book presents an overview of how external shocks affect commodity chains and their neighbouring systems. Expert authors employ diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to illustrate the extensive scope of this research area, exploring the impact of external shocks throughout various parts of the commodity chain.
Chapters investigate the intricate relationships between agricultural commodity chains and external shocks through interdisciplinary lenses, including geography, communication studies, economics, history, and sociology. They draw on case studies from around the world ranging from the Kenyan cut roses industry to sheep farming in the UK, providing individual and comparative analyses of the challenges caused by external forces. Examining the effects of both short- and long-term shocks, the book evaluates potential actor strategies, ultimately underscoring the need for increased collaboration across all scientific disciplines.
Presenting novel perspectives on the multiple social and spatial transformations associated with agricultural products, Commodity Chains Under Pressure is an invaluable read for students and scholars in global value chains, development studies, human geography, sociology, and agricultural economics. Its practical guidance is also beneficial for policymakers and practitioners in agriculture and supply chain analysis.

Critical Acclaim
‘In a time of multiple crises, this timely book provides an insightful exploration into the vulnerabilities of agri-food chains around the world, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective on how external shocks reshape these chains, and what options actors have to increase resilience. I believe this is essential reading for those seeking to understand the complex interdependencies and evolving challenges in agri-food chains.’
