Abstract

Introduction Although the social and economic benefits of recycling are widely recognised, the development of effective recycling programmes has not proceeded at a swift pace. In large measure, this is due to technological problems and to the lack of effective and efficient performance of those distribution functions which are of primary importance in recycling.

Abstract

Self‐service food stores are a new emerging form of retail technology in Saudi Arabia. By focusing on relevant institutional, planning and operational dimensions, this exploratory study describes and analyses the process by which this form of food retailing was adopted. Data were collected from 96 stores located in three metropolitan areas of the Kingdom, and the results suggest that the sudden proliferation of these stores during the past decade was characterised by the lack of rational planning, short‐term decision making orientation, and limited concern for promotional activities. The analysis of the 62 study variables indicated that differences in store size exerted limited influence on store marketing activities and had a moderate effect on store planning and institutional dimensions.

Abstract

The study examines the marketing of cocoa in Nigeria as a pilot study to formulating new strategies for the marketing of agricultural commodities. Three interrelated and interdependent approaches have been developed namely, institutional, functional and market structure strategies. These reveal how exchange, physical and facilitating functions can be effectively utilised to expedite the distribution of cocoa through the marketing system. However, methods in use by the cocoa farmers are not efficient due to problems of shortages and the policies of the Marketing Boards and the commodity boards. Improved methods of cocoa cultivation and the removal of impediments on granting credit facilities are recommended.
