Reardon, ThomasBerdegué, Julio A.2010-03-042010-03-042006http://hdl.handle.net/10625/42016Policy debate and research have only in the past few years registered the supermarket revolution and reflected on impacts on agrifood systems and development. There is evidence of emerging exclusion of under-capitalized small farmers. Assistance is crucial for these farmers to make a transition towards being competitive suppliers of supermarkets, or finding alternatives for agricultural viability.

This report reviews emerging issues and evidence, and suggests development policy implications.Text1 digital file (45 p.)enFOOD INDUSTRYGLOBALIZATIONSUPERMARKETSSMALLHOLDERSURBANIZATIONINCOME GENERATIONPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTDEVELOPING COUNTRIESIDRC Final Report
