The role of trade in marketing rural products beyond regional and national borders
The sales markets for rural products vary considerably according to the country and product. In most of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), trade beyond regional or national borders is relatively unimportant. In many emerging economies, on the other hand, and especially in Asia, the rural economy is very much oriented towards international markets. This applies both to agricultural products such as rice and fruits and to non-agricultural products of the rural non-farm economy (RNFE), such as textiles. Trade relations are usually characterised by two specific features. Firstly, export, or marketing outside the producer’s region, is rarely carried out by the producers themselves; it usually involves intermediaries or – in the case of suppliers and contract farming – the parent company. Secondly, goods are usually transported via hubs situated near cities.
