Four decades of food and agricultural marketing development in selected Asian countries.

Food and agricultural marketing development has progressed differently in Asian countries due to contrasts in political, social, economic and cultural systems in the various countries. However, certain general trends and patterns are discernable in the development process. Many Asian countries have faced similar constraints in agricultural marketing in their pursuit of economic development. For example, alternating commodity surpluses and deficits, fluctuating prices, significant postharvest losses, institutional shortcomings, inadequate facilities, and primitive technology and management expertise commonly held back agricultural and economic development over the last four decades. In trying to solve these problems, many governments have used common approaches and policy instruments. An examination of the patterns of development provides useful perspectives of present shortcomings. On the basis of studies on the marketing systems in China, India, Korea Republic, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philip pines and Sri Lanka, this paper discusses the broad patterns of development, highlights common problems and issues, and suggests future action. A perspective view of the development of agricultural marketing is provided by giving a cross-section of disciplines, sectors and commodities. The subject is divided into four broad themes, namely organizations, legislation, infrastructure and services.
