Bernhard Brümmer of Georg-August-Universität Göttingen opened the second-set of parallel oral presentations with a focus on market development. There were 4 oral presentations instead of the planned 6 covering rural market development-related topics within developing countries. Berhanu Gebremedhin: Crop-Livestock Interactions in Smallholders´ Market Participation in Ethiopia In this paper, he specifies that interdependence exists on both households´ net market positions (e.g. Net Buyer or Net Seller) for crops and livestock. He also showed that, crop purchases are financed by livestock (vice-versa) and excess income emanating from crop sale is converted into livestock asset. Additionally, he said that policies and strategies should pay attention to the simultaneous production and marketing of both crop and livestock commodities. Christina Handschuch: Adoption of food safety and quality standards among Chilean raspberry producers – Do smallholder benefit? Meike Wollni substitutes, and discuss their findings that small-scale farmers has a low likelihood of opting for certification whilst certified farmers would obtain better product quality having a positive relationship to their net household incomes. Also, it was suggested to extend support to small-scale farmers in implementation process, collective sharing of compliance costs, and access to information. Mildred Garcia: Third party socio-environmental certifications: A new perspective for small-scale coffee producers in Honduras? As recommended by the findings, that there’s a need to enhance business management capacities as small, reduce the cost of certification, and promote access to market information. Furthermore, she indicated that there´s a need for a regional policy to fully integrate the small-scale production to the national and/or regional markets in order to fully capture the incentives of social environmental certification. Jonas Luckermann: How were Vietnamese upland farmers affected by the recent strong fluctuations of food prices on the world markets? The paper analysed market chains and look into the transmission of prices between the different levels of market. And based on the findings, Maize has a perfect price transmission at the world market indicating a low regulation of trade. At country-level, the price transmission was interrupted resulting to market autarky due to seasonality and low amount of trade. Additionally, Rice and its markets are mostly cointegrated but there exists an incomplete price transmission due to high-trade regulation and that there are state-owned companies dominating the market.
