Each different production position in the value chain will bring a different amount of added value.
Another important concern is the environmental impact of the host country in the GVCs. But the solution is that industries can move to the most efficient place of production, GVC can reduce the net resource intensity of global agricultural production.
New technologies, new scientific innovations and modern knowledge can allow the dissemination of more environmentally friendly production techniques throughout the GVC. Leaders in the GVC can drive innovation, be environmentally friendly, and drive higher standards.
GVC also facilitates the production of new and environmentally friendly goods. Products such as solar panels, electric cars and wind turbines are produced at a lower cost in GVCs and help reduce environmental consumption costs.
