The first part examines the substance of rapid reconnaissance in agricultural marketing research - its important characteristics; the analytical framework used; key areas of investigation; analysis of prices; proxy variables and key indicators, and institutional economics and noneconomic factors. The second part discusses the process of rapid reconnaissance, including sections on the preparation for fieldwork and the implementation of surveys. |
