ABSTRACT The glutinous corn production in South Sulawesi needs an improvement in terms of economic aspect, therefore, the added value of the corn production is very important, in which the added value represents a commodity value addition because the commodity undergoes the processing, storage, packaging, and transportation processes in the production process. The research aimed at identifying the value chain related to the glutinous corn processing industry, and calculating the added value obtained by every value chain actor. The research used the qualitative and quantitative descriptive method. The value chain actors description was in line with Porters theory concerning the value chain. There were the main activity and supporting activities of the value chain actors. Samples were selected using the purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques, with the monitoring points starting from the industrial actors because the value chain info source could be found out from the home industry actors. The data were analyzed using the Microsoft excel to analyze the amount of expenditure, revenue, income, added value obtained from every value chain actor. The research result indicates that the industry which carries out the processing from the beginning obtains the higher added value ratio than the industry which does not carry out the processing from the beginning. It is expected that the processing industry carries out the glutinous corn production starting from the beginning stage of processing.
