Distribution in Agricultural Produce : An Evolutionary and Comparative Institutional Analysis.

今年，对中欧波兰和捷克的调查投入运行。除此之外，在葡萄牙里斯本举行的世界批发市场联合会会议上收集了必要的资料。在波兰，未来的看法，来自西欧的连锁超市和国内种植者之间的关系并不明确。Posnan批发市场试图向连锁超市供应新鲜农产品，但并不成功，一些大型个体种植者直接向连锁超市供应农产品。波兰政府在政治上大力发展生鲜农产品批发市场，但这并不能满足批发市场使用者的需求。在有批发市场法的日本，使买卖双方使用新的批发市场比在没有批发市场法的波兰更容易。波兰政府必须指出，发达的批发市场是有效率的，但它还没有成功，旧的市场仍然在利用。在捷克共和国的布拉格，一个批发市场的小批发商成立于1989年，它仍然在利用。然而，这个市场的一些批发商的业务已经足够扩大，他们成为外部批发商，不再依赖批发市场，并建立自己的配送中心。“欧洲批发市场良好实践指南（GPG）”的规划现在由WUWM作为他们的项目来解决。这是因为认识到所有与食品相关的企业和公司都必须有责任确保食品安全，并且在良好农业规范（GAP）的背景下，必须采用相同的标准。该项目将于2004年5月结束。

This year, the investigation on Poland and Czech Republic in Central Europe was put into operation. In addition to that, necessary information was collected in the conference of World Union of Wholesale Markets (WUWM) held in Lisbon, Portugal.In Poland, the future view of the relationship between the supermarket chain from western Europe and the domestic grower is not clear. The wholesale market of Posnan tried to supply fresh produce to supermarket chain, however, that is not successful, and some large individual growers are directly supplying their produce to supermarket chain. Polish government pursued the development of wholesale market of fresh produce politically, nevertheless, that didn't meet the necessity of the users of wholesale market. It is easier to make buyers and sellers use new wholesale market in Japan with a wholesale market law than to do that m Poland without any wholesale market law. The Polish government must indicate that the developed wholesale market is efficient, but it isn't successful yet and old market is still utilized.In Prague, Czech Republic, a wholesale market for small wholesalers was established in 1989 and it is still under utilization. However, the business of some wholesalers of this market have expanded enough and they became outside wholesalers who don't depend on wholesale market any more and set up their own distribution centers.The planning of "Good Practice Guide for Wholesale Market in Europe (GPG)" is now addressed by WUWM as their project. That was introduced from the recognition that all food-related business and companies must have a responsibility to secure the food safety, and against the backdrop of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), same standard must be applied. The project will reach the conclusion in May 2004.
