Abstract
PREPARATORY ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE VALUE ADDING PROCESSES WITHIN INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAINS IN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE
An extensive literature research on existing studies and applied methodologies on the economic analysis of the value-adding processes within integrated supply chains in food and agriculture, hereby focusing on food quality assurance and certification schemes, has resulted in a wide variety of different studies and methodologies.
The objective of this deliverable is to further structure and analyse more deeply the
retrieved studies. Each study is presented in tabular form.
Following an extensive search, a total of 128 studies have been reviewed in this publication. In making our choice of papers to analyse, we have concentrated on scientifically validated papers, in particular those that are published in refereed journals and in conference proceedings where some selectivity has been
exercised.

Relevance to our study:
This is a tabular review of studies that have looked into food quality certification in the EU. It was cocmpiled as part of the ongoing EU discussions about food quality certitication that has now resulted in the green paper. The structured review gives access to a wide range of documents.
