valorization = valorize (transparent) = valor + ation
Formed by standard noun formation from the verb 'valorize' meaning 'to give value'; the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Valorization comes from the root valor, which means 'value' and is like the English word value. So when governments speak of valorization they mean giving or raising the 'value' of a product or sector, for example by helping farmers get better prices.
