| Description |
Market transactions in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are usually small, because the markets are thin and point-to-point transportation of commodities is difficult. The prices offered are not competitive and volumes traded are usually season dependent. Where market infrastructure is weak and under-developed, liberalization and structural adjustment policies have not been able to improve market access; and the private sector has failed to make the investments needed for proper and effective market coordination. |
