Commodity chain is the term for the sequence of activities that move a product from producers through manufacturing and processing to distribution and markets. It highlights how value is added at each stage and how different places and actors—farmers, processors, shippers, retailers—are linked in a global network. This fits the description precisely because the focus is on the entire progression from production to distribution. Intercropping describes growing multiple crops together in the same field, not a supply chain. Luxury crops refer to a product category based on market value, not the chain of activities. Cold chains (cool chains) concentrate on temperature-controlled links within a supply chain, not the whole chain from manufacture to distribution.
