Exploring the institutional market for fresh vegetables in the Southern Philippines
Abstract
Given the many different ways the product may be used, the institutional market for fresh vegetables in the Southern Philippines can be segmented on the basis of the role market intermediaries perform in the supply chain, where they are, what customers they serve, the range of products required, the volume of product required and the quality specifications. Potential market opportunities are identified and the various constraints smallholder farmers face in endeavouring to meet the needs of institutional buyers are highlighted.
