The food marketing sector transforms the raw
agricultural commodities produced by farmers into the foods purchased
and eaten by consumers. The costs of storage, transportation, and
processing-the marketing transformations-are an integral component of
food price formation. Because the producer and consumer are typically
different individuals even in developing countries, commodities must
pass from one owner to another, frequently many times, before reaching
the family table. This process of exchange takes place in markets and
can be conducted only when a price has been agreed on between buyer and
seller. In any but a purely subsistence economy, these three topics are
inextricably linked-the productive functions of marketing, the role of
the market as an arena of exchange, and the formation of food prices at
which exchange takes place. For both socialist and capitalist economies,
it is impossible to discuss any one of these without at least
implicitly discussing the others as well.
