In short, it is the connected path from which a good travels from producers to consumers. Commodity chains can be unique depending on the product types or the types of markets. Different stages of a commodity chain can also involve different economic sectors or be handled by the same business.

"They are a network of labour and production processes whose end result is a finished commodity". William Jones Esq.
