This week WFP and FAO will release a joint study on food and agricultural markets in Nepal, titled Food and Agricultural Markets in Nepal. It describes how food grain markets work in Nepal, examines the price formation process, the internal transport and distribution system and identifies the main market players. A copy of report is available from WFP. Taken from the report is Map 1 which shows the main trade flows of food grain through the main commodity market and their service areas. The map distinguishes eleven market networks serviced by a regional market hub interconnected with transit and rural deficit markets. The regional markets hubs in the Terai are well integrated and governed by well estabilished market mechanisms.
