Abstract
Milk for Milk, Water for Water? Pakistan’s Dairy Value Chain Innovation
Highlights
This article presents the case study of a promising agri-food value chain innovation in a largely agricultural country with a high burden of undernutrition
5 Conclusions What can we learn from the failure of what appeared to be a promising pro-nutrition business-led value chain innovation in Pakistan’s dairy sector? A cynical view might be that the positive narrative around the ultra-high temperature (UHT) innovation was promoted, at least in part, by corporate interests that benefited from the expansion of their markets, regardless of any benefits in terms of addressing constraints and bottlenecks in existing value chains
While this view cannot be discounted altogether, there are still lessons to be drawn for the sector or for wider debates on business-driven nutrition improvement, and for the emerging analytical frameworks
Summary
This article presents the case study of a promising agri-food value chain innovation in a largely agricultural country with a high burden of undernutrition. We construct a case study of the sector using the emerging conceptual literature on agri-food value chains for nutrition. The case study has two main objectives. It aims to draw lessons on the potential for business-driven agri-food value chains interventions to improve nutrition in Pakistan and elsewhere. It offers an opportunity for understanding the limitations of existing conceptual frameworks in prospectively identifying conditions and requirements for pro-nutrition value chains interventions
