to competition among farmers’ markets, each operator makes certain efforts to distinguish itself. Entries and withdrawals are also unregulated. This study aims to evaluate the competition among farmers’ markets in Japan’s Chiba Prefecture from three points of view. First, it examines spatial autocorrelation among farmers’ markets using a spatial econometric model and shows their agglomeration pattern on a map. Second, it calculates the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, based on the sales floor area, and displays the results on the map using geographic information system. Third, it evaluates the relationship between the structure and sales of farmers’ markets using the first-difference estimator approach. Main findings suggest that intense competition within 3 - 6 km of a market decreases sales. This causes the dispersion of farmers’ markets in areas within a 3 km radius from the market and agglomeration in areas within a 12 km radius from the market.
