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.
