“…This trend is also similar with other developing countries [4], as indicated by the increasing share of supermarkets in food retail in China [5], Brazil [6], Kenya [7], Guatemala [8], Thailand [9], and Vietnam [10]. Supermarkets in Indonesia were first established in the 1970s [1], and since then their numbers have increased rapidly.…”

“…The rapid expansion of supermarkets was driven by liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI) in retailing, income growth, urbanization, and the modernization of retail procurement systems [4,5,8]. At the beginning, many of the supermarkets, such as Hero and Gelael, were owned by Source: a Dyck et al [11]; b, c Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) [14] and USDA GAIN report [12]; d Other specialized stores are not included.…”

Abstract:The rise of supermarkets in Indonesia since the end of the 1990s have been transforming the food retail sector and providing further market opportunities for small-scale farmers, in which most of Indonesia's farmer falls into this category. The aim of this paper is to examine the supermarket participation and its effect on the well-being of small-scale farmers. We compare the differences between participants and non-participants in supermarket channels in order to explore the constraints on supermarket participation. By applying a treatment effects model which allows capturing the possibility of selection bias, we examine the factors that determine farmers' participation as well as the effect on their income. The results show that younger farmers with higher levels of education, irrigated land, who have packaging equipment and storage facilities, and are located near paved roads, are more likely to participate in the supermarket channels. On the other hand, farmers who have sprayer equipment are more likely to participate in the traditional market channels. The effect analysis shows that small-scale farmer participation in the supermarket channels can boost their income.

“…Some research now suggests that small farmers can be included (Maertens and Swinnen 2009;Bellemare 2012;Wang et al 2009;Miyata, Minot, and Hu 2009) though evidence is mounting that participation may be available largely to those who are already equipped with irrigation or cooperative membership (Hernández, Reardon, and Berdegué 2007;Neven et al 2009;Balsevich, Reardon, and Berdegue 2005).…”

Despite more than a decade of NGO and government activities promoting developing world farmer participation in high‐value agricultural markets, evidence regarding the household welfare effects of such initiatives is limited. This article analyzes the geographic placement of supermarket supply chains in Nicaragua between 2000 and 2008 and uses a difference‐in‐differences specification on measures of supplier and nonsupplier assets to estimate the welfare effects of small farmer participation. Though results indicate that selling to supermarkets increases household productive asset holdings, they also suggest that only farmers with advantageous endowments of geography and water are likely to participate.

“…For example, a number of studies have shown the competitive nature of agricultural markets in Asia when unregulated (e.g. Chowdhury and Haggblade, 2000;Wang et al, 2009;Barker et al, 1985;Hayami et al, 1999). In developed countries, companies in the food sector tend to undergo a certain degree of consolidation and concentration, often for efficiency reasons, which might lead to market structure concerns.…”
