Abstract

99 words

The competitiveness of any agribusiness is based on its role within its environment, its relationship and linkages with other actors within which it operates. In this study, we use cluster approach to get an insight into what roles and linkages exist in the potato and carrot value chain, what the competitive edge is and what this means for the organisations in setting their marketing strategies using Product, Pricing, Promotion, Place, Processes, People and Physical parameters. The cluster approach forces actors and other stakeholders to think, analyse and relate strategically so as to maintain a competitive edge in their businesses.
