Description: "Significant changes are taking place in the value chain for many agricultural commodities, particularly those fresh products destined for supermarket shelves.  The changing patterns of these value chains in agriculture affect equity between producers and buyers and equity among producers themselves, alter the allocation of resources in agriculture and have implications for domestic as well as international policy.  This set of workshop proceedings is published to assist in the understanding and analysis of the implications of these developments, particularly the development of market power among the participants in these markets."--Publisher description
