dc.description.abstract | This paper examines mechanisms needed for facilitating the development of rural trade, particularly as regards the need to provide adequate services in support of such trade including appropriate trade financing and rural credit. The paper will first present main obstacles to the development of rural trade, which include inadequate market infrastructure; lack of and/or inefficient marketing and distribution channels; and underdeveloped financial structures to support rural trade and provide credit. It will then examine the existing trade facilitation mechanisms in rural areas and these include physical infrastructure; marketing and distribution channels; and financial institutions in rural areas. Proposals for improving trade facilitation systems rural areas will then be made, including development of an efficient transportation infrastructure which facilitates movement of goods and services not only within rural areas but between rural and urban areas; improvement of marketing and distribution channels, enhancing financial institutions in rural areas; promoting development of cooperatives both at production and marketing/distribution levels; and exploiting existing informal institutional framework in rural trade. | en |
