Centres urbains secondaires et commercialisation des produits vivriers au Togo

Frederic Lancon

Économie rurale, 1989, vol. 190

Abstract: Secondary cities are located at the intersection of assembling, wholesale distribution and retailing in foodstuffs. Therefore, they act as buffer between the different stages of the distribution process. Their inhabitants' consumption increases the level of the final demand and multiply the number of marketing channels which facilitates the management of the whole system and lowers the trading risk. Trade guilds are closely linked with those cities, and women, who are in charge of supplying the family with food, often get into this business to achieve this goal and not only to earn money. Then, Togo's food policy has to take into account the future of small and medium size cities.
