Abstract
Investment in the food retail sector may be one conduit toward enhancing food security for the poor. Thomas Reardon and Bart Minten, in “Surprised by Supermarkets: Diffusion of Modern Food Retailing in India”, analyse patterns and dynamics of the growth and reach of modern markets. In their assessment, India will likely continue to experience a supermarket revolution similar to that of other developing countries over the next several decades. Reardon and Minten discuss indications that modern retail will likely spread into the food markets of the poor, improving food security for poor consumers due to cheaper commodities
The article by Hannah Jaenicke and her co-authors address food markets from a different angle. They describe the findings of a technical assistance project implemented by the Coalition to Diversify Income through Underused Crops that aimed to enhance market access of resource-poor farmers in India and Viet Nam. After 2.5 years of project interventions, beneficiaries reported increased household income from better market opportunities that came out of accreditation through origin labelling and linkages to urban supermarkets as high-end outlets for produce.
The conclusions of both articles have implications for policy debate in Asia and the Pacific. As domestic value chains evolve across the region, countries need to consider the regulatory environment and the institutional structure that affect food marketing. The debate also needs to address the question, how can farmers best equip themselves to deal with changes occurring in food supply chains? Questions such as these are likely to continue shaping the food policy discussion.
