WDR background paper on retail-led transformation of agrifood systems : box focusing on whether the rise of supermarkets exclude small farmers
2007
When medium and large growers are not available or do not produce enough to meet the year round needs of supermarkets, in domestic-retail impact studies available so far, asset-poor small farmers are almost universally excluded from supplying supermarket chains. Only the top tercile of asset-rich small farmers tend to participate. The report examines domestic retail horticulture-impact studies and the “exclusion of the asset-poor.” Assets other than land play a role: the included have more education, more access to transport, greater prior holdings of irrigation; and other physical assets, such as wells, greenhouses, vehicles, and packing sheds.
