New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI) A study has shown that even though the Global South has increased its share of production from agriculture between 1995 and 2020, it does not get a fair share of food system incomes while countries in the Global North extract a disproportionate share of income from non-agricultural sectors such as processing and logistics.

The study, led by researchers at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain and Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, found that the non-agricultural sectors -- "food manufacturing, processing, transport, retail and wholesale trade" -- absorbed much of the value added in across the world's agri-food systems.

Strategies that capture value can reshape supply chains, said main author Meghna Goyal from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
