■ Title   The Key Role of Intermediaries in Thailand's Fresh Food Distribution System

■ Outline   This paper argues that intermediaries continue to play an important role in Thailand's distribution systems, especially in the system of fresh vegetable distribution. After discussing the key roles of intermediaries in Thailand's vegetable distribution system, this paper concludes that because modern retailers' involvement, particularly that of transnational retailers, at the agricultural production stage is still limited in Thailand, they often rely on intermediate distributors, such as local assembling wholesalers, coordinator-type intermediaries, and wholesale markets, for the intermediate distribution process.   Single   International Review of Retail, Distribution and Consumer Research   Routledge (UK)   24(5),pp.544   2014/11
