Abstract: Determination of marlceting margins in the South African potato industry requires knowledge of the industry itself and of marlceting margin theory. An analysis conducted on national level to determine factors influencing the margin of potatoes, was also applied on regional level. The marlcets of Cape To'Ml, Durban, Bloemfontein and Johannesburg were analyzed to detect regional differences. In each region. the producer price proved to be the main determinant of price margins for potatoes. A strong interrelationship exists between the Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Durban markets.
