The aim of the programme is to provide strategic advice and guidance to the public sector, agrifood chain actors, civil society organizations and development agencies on approaches that can anticipate and manage the impacts of the dynamic changes in local and regional markets. Agrifood Sector Studies These studies look at specific agrifood sectors within a country or region. Research studies have been carried out in China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, Poland and Zambia covering the horticulture, dairy and meat sectors. Part A of the studies describes the observed market restructuring along the chains. Part B explores the determinants of small-scale farmer inclusion in emerging modern markets. Using quantitative survey techniques, they explore the impacts on marketing choices of farmers, and implications for rural development. The studies were coordinated by: Jikun Huang, Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy (CCAP), China (contact [email protected]) Thomas Reardon, Michigan State University (MSU), USA (contact: [email protected]) Other publication series from the Regoverning Markets programme Innovative Practice This series of country case studies provides examples of specific innovation in connecting small-scale producers with dynamic markets at local or regional level. Based on significant fieldwork activities, the studies focus on four drivers of innovation: public policy principles, private business models, collective action strategies by small-scale farmers, and intervention strategies and methods of development agencies. The studies highlight policy lessons and working methods to guide public and private actors. Innovative Policy These are short studies addressing a specific policy innovation in the public or private sector that improves the conditions for small-scale producers to access dynamic markets at national, regional and global level. Country Studies These provide a summary of market changes taking place at national level within key high-value agrifood commodity chains. Policy Briefs These are short policy-focused summaries targeted at each stakeholder group.
