This newspaper comprehensively reports from foreign media and according to recent reports from the official website of Yale University in the United States,Lauren Falcao Bergquist, a professor in the school’s Department of Economics and Global Affairs, comprehensively assesses the competitive model of farmers’ markets in Kenya,Proposed a new method for researching rural Bet365 app download economy。The research by Bergquist et al. aims to provide policymakers with new ideas for restoring the balance of agricultural trade in sub-Saharan Africa,and improve Bet365 app download conditions in other parts of East Africa。

In Western Kenya,People’s daily life is inseparable from the corn trading Bet365 app download。Grains account for more than a third of average total caloric intake in Kenya,9% of average annual household expenditure,About half of Kenyan households are involved in maize production。However,Many intermediaries achieve non-competition through collusion、Secret and sometimes illegal consensus,Obtain unfair Bet365 app download advantage,Maximize its profits。Public collusion triggers cross-season、Price fluctuations across regions,Depressed the wholesale price of agricultural products,Increase the purchase price of consumers,Finally, the Bet365 app download’s trade rate was significantly reduced。To explore the microeconomic characteristics and social network relationships of East African farmers’ markets,Bergquist leads the team to establish contact with Kenyan villagers,Conducted extensive fieldwork。

Bergquist’s preliminary community survey results show,The competitive structure among vendors hinders the liberalization of farmers’ markets。Through a series of experiments,Researchers found,Fixed costs required to enter the Bet365 app download,such as a vehicle、Stall supplies are higher than what potential newcomers can afford。In addition to funds,Lack of connections is also an obstacle for newcomers。Bet365 app download for those already familiar with local traders、Informants who are less likely to undermine the conspiracy are more friendly,At the same time, keep out outsiders who are not willing to participate in the conspiracy。

Although Bergquist and policymakers reached a consensus on the negative impact of vendor collusion on the economy and community relations,But both sides proposed different governance methods。Local media and some government officials called for a complete ban on agricultural trade middlemen,And Bergquist thinks,Only by reasonably lowering the barriers to Bet365 app download entry、Encourage outsiders to actively participate in trade,Only in order to move towards healthy competition。Discovered by Bergquist et al.,As long as newcomers have the resources to enter the Bet365 app download,Even if you don’t win over other vendors in advance,Newcomers will also increase Bet365 app download competition,Reducing the negative impact of collusion among middlemen。Bergquist’s research in Uganda also showed that,When buyers and sellers who do not know each other come together through electronic platforms and develop new agricultural products trade,Healthy competition among middlemen has increased significantly,Bet365 app download prices are gradually converging。

Bet365 app download thinks,Improving the efficiency of farmers’ markets will lead to better livelihoods for producers,It can also bring cheaper food to consumers,It can also bring positive impact to the long-term development of the community。
