Monitor Market Functioning
Each company in the agricultural value chain should benefit from equal opportunities, from a cocoa farmer in Ghana to major European fruit and vegetable traders and from street vendors in Thailand to multinational online retailers. But all too often, trade barriers and unfairtrade practices stand in the way of fair pricing and fair margins for every link in the production chain. Wageningen Economic Research supports companies and policy makers in promoting their societal ambitions without harming their business objectives.
