There is a need to understand why some actors benefit more than others in AVCs and why this pattern at a global level is replicated locally.To understand how existing frameworks can enhance the understanding of Digital for Development (D4D) associated with digital AVCs to achieve the following: Distribute power and economic value amongst actors in the AVC more equally; retain the identity of small-scale farmers and their sustainable practices; establish effective communication to confront asymmetric information and the lack of access to knowledge effectively; to enhance research, development and innovation.enDigital developmentAgricultureFarmingFarmersSouth AfricaArticle
