传统上，发展经济学家、政策制定者和实践者将超市视为富裕国家的购物场所。这里讨论的三个地区拥有地球上绝大多数的穷人。但超市不再仅仅是这些地区国家首都富裕消费者的小众市场。在过去的五到十年里，这些地区的超市迅速崛起，以不同的速度和深度改变了不同地区和国家的农产品市场。许多这样的转变带来了巨大的挑战——小农场、小加工和分销公司甚至被排除在外，但也有潜在的巨大机遇。发展模式、政策和规划需要适应这种根本性的变化。本文描述了非洲、亚洲（不包括日本）和拉丁美洲农业粮食系统的转型。首先，我们描述了在传统零售和批发体系的基础上产生的现代食品零售及其采购体系。其次，探讨了三大区域超市扩散的决定因素和模式。第三，我们讨论了这些超市采购系统的演变，以及对农业食品系统的影响。最后，
Supermarkets are traditionally viewed by development economists, policymakers, and practitioners as the rich world's place to shop. The three regions discussed here have a great majority of the poor on the planet. But supermarkets are no longer just niche players for rich consumers in the capital cities of the countries in these regions. The rapid rise of supermarkets in these regions in the past five to ten years has transformed agrifood markets at different rates and depths across regions and countries. Many of those transformations present great challenges-even exclusionfor small farms, and small processing and distribution firms, but also potentially great opportunities. Development models, policies, and programs need to adapt to this radical change.This paper describes the transformation of agrifood systems in Africa, Asia (excluding Japan), and Latin America. First, we describe the traditional retail and wholesale system in the midst of which emerged modern food re-tailing and its procurement system. Second, we discuss the determinants of and patterns in the diffusion of supermarkets in the three regions. Third, we discuss the evolution of procurement systems of those supermarkets, and consequences for agrifood systems. At the end,
