Bibliometric dataset: Agricultural global value chains.

The study of global value chains has gained significant importance due to the increasing relo-

cation of productive and commercial activities. Understanding these chains is essential to understand the

interconnection of economies worldwide, given that companies are currently integrated into complex net-

works that span multiple countries and regions. The objective of this research is to carry out a bibliometric

analysis of the existing literature on agricultural global value chains (GVCs) using a quantitative approach.

For this purpose, a review is conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) database using 341 documents pub-

lished between the years 2000 and 2023. A performance analysis is carried out, and a cartographic analysis is

presented using VOSviewer software. The main findings show a significant growth in research in this field of

knowledge since 2018, with 2021 being the year with the highest recorded scientific production. Agricultural

CVG show special relevance in economic and environmental areas, with the United States of America being

the country with the highest number of publications, and the most relevant research center being the Con-

sultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The trends in the study topic correspond

to sustainability, governance, and the scaling up of small producers in global dynamics.
