Summary in the original language of the document

Special attention to pricing is needed at the innovation stage of crop diversification. When good pricing levels are proposed, crop diversification can take place more easily. A fair pricing process can strengthen actors' capacity for innovating and creating sustainable and fair value chains.

Summary translation

Dans une démarche de diversification des cultures, une attention particulière à l’établissement de prix et relations justes est nécessaire dès le stade de l'innovation. Lorsque des niveaux de prix pertinents sont proposés, la diversification des cultures peut se faire plus facilement. Un processus de tarification équitable peut renforcer la capacité des acteurs à innover et à créer des chaînes de valeur durables et équitables.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Get to know a list of the 14 criteria for defining a fair price.
What problem does the tool address?:	Introducing new crops into cropping systems involves experimenting, investing and taking risks for farmers. If they do not receive additional value for new crops compared to more common crops, it may discourage crop diversification. Similarly, the processing and marketing of new products resulting from crop diversification requires downstream actors to innovate, which in turn requires additional resources.
What solution does the tool offer?:	When encouraging farmers to undertake crop diversification, the price of the new crops should provide additional value compared to more common crops. Value chains must also ensure a fair distribution of benefits among actors, in consistency with their risks and investment levels. A list of 14 criteria for defining a fair price for new crops and value chains was developed. A related questionnaire helps actors discuss the price level and matters such as value repartition, transparency, etc.
