The supermarket revolution in developing countries: tidal wave or tough competitive struggle?
批判性审视了超市扩张改变发展中国家食品零售的文献，认为其对零售和生产转型的程度估计过高，尤其是生鲜农产品，未来食品零售格局将比“超市革命”假说预测的更多样化。
An extensive literature on the transformation of food retailing in developing countries by the expansion of supermarkets has highlighted the implications of the concentration of food value chains for the continued incorporation of small farmers in fresh produce supply. A critical examination of this literature shows that extent of the transformation of retailing, and also of food production as a consequence of it, is overestimated, particularly for fresh produce. The future landscape of food retailing will be more varied than the supermarket revolution hypothesis predicts.
