The widening farm-retail price spread has been of great concern to housewives, farmers, and government agencies. Very often marketing has been identified as the reason for this gap. However, there appear to be other factors, often disregarded, which have been brought to the surface by the National Commission on Food Marketing. This article was developed primarily from material in the technical reports of the Commission; it examines various factors with the aim of aiding the understanding of this subject.

As the farm-to-retail price spread continues to grow, some cattle producers are beginning to consider integrating into the retail sector. Such a venture would require large investments in capital with uncertain return. This study seeks to determine the potential success of a stand-alone retail outlet selling “all natural” beef in an affluent area of Jackson, MS. Using choice-based conjoint analysis, demand for the new retail outlet is modeled as a function of the beef price at the store, distance of the store from consumers' homes, distance of the store from consumers' typical grocery store, and price of beef at substitute grocery stores. Simulation results suggest the proposed outlet could be a profitable venture, depending upon location and beef price.

General complaint of Nepalese farmers is that middlemen grasp much of the benefits from agricultural products paying low to farmers and charging high to the consumers thereby discouraging farmers to produce. Scientific studies are scanty to support or refute the complaint. The main objective of this paper is to test this hypothesis in light of rice recovery in milling. Primary data were collected from surveys of randomly selected 50 households and 41 mills from purposively selected 19 districts in Nepal. The study found that the rice recovery rate is 66.2% for head rice 73.2% for brown rice. After adjusting for the milling percent the retail price comes to be 14% to 18% higher than the farm gate price. The results show that the marketing margin is not so wide in case of less perishable crops like rice. Improving milling technology, however, can increase milling percent reducing the price spread.

This study was undertaken to explore the market and value chain of apple in Jumla and Nepaljung in January 2014. Primary and secondary data were used for this study. All together 10 respondent farmers were selected for production related data, five retailers from Jumla and Nepaljung, one wholesaler from Nepaljung and 10 consumers for market study. Highest wholesale price was observed in May/June - June/July (NRs. 145/kg) while lowest was in Sept./Oct.-Oct./Nov. (NRs. 83/kg). Similarly highest retail price (NRs. 185/kg) was in the month of June/July and lowest (NRs. 115/Kg) was in Sept./Oct-Oct./Nov. The average farm gate price of apple is too low (NRs.26.93/kg) as compared to wholesale, retail and consumers prices. The producers, traders, transporters, wholesalers and retailers were the main marketing actors of apple. Contractual system before and during production were observed in marketing. Price spread of Jumla apple was assessed with the different actors (contractors, traders, wholesalers, retailers and consumers) in value chain. Apple is the major commodity for income generation so better knowledge on production marketing and value addition through processing should be imparted to the farmers.
