microREPORT #109 examines the Ataulfo mango value chain in Chiapas, Mexico scanning across the chain and its various actors and market linkages to put observed dynamics in context and identify opportunities. The report pays particular attention to financial flows through the chain which inform other non-financial dynamics and highlight conditions and opportunities where financial services might help address challenges or allow for upgrading. The authors address financial issues within the broader analysis, rather than as a separate issue, or as an input at one level of the chain.
