Social Impact
Higher income per unit: Instead of exporting low-value raw materials (e.g. tree nuts, tea, coffee cacao beans), exporting finished or semi-finished goods (e.g. chocolate, textiles, software) keeps more of the value chain in the source country.
Job creation: Processing and manufacturing generate more employment than raw commodity export.
GDP growth: Each step of value addition contributes more significantly to national income.
