“…In many Asian countries, public markets are often called wet markets, although some of them are privately owned. Despite food hygiene and safety concerns (Sharif et al 2015), wet markets are widely distributed in Asian cities and remain an important part of urban food retail (Goldman et al 1999;Veeck and Veeck 2000;Ho 2005;Humphrey 2007;. Most of the research regarding wet markets has focused on why and how wet markets have survived amid the supermarket revolution, and government campaigns to convert wet-markets to supermarkets in China (Reardon et al 2012;Huang et al 2015).…”

Chinese cities have been able to maintain much higher levels of household food security than many other cities in the Global South, according to recent surveys. Yet, little is known about the governance of the food provisioning system that underpins its urban food security. Based on a combination of household survey data, unstructured interviews and analyses of government documents, regulations and laws, we reveal that both Nanjing's food provisioning system and its governance employ a public-private hybrid model. The hybridity is reflected in the mixed ownership structure of food wholesale and retail markets, the companies that manage them, and the involvement of both public and private capital in these markets. This hybridity prevents market failure in food system operation and thus is the underlying mechanism that ensures physical accessibility to and affordability of food in the city; it also balances food affordability and the profitability of food markets. This paper identifies various food security policies and regulations implemented by the Nanjing municipal government, such as the "vegetable basket" policy, the "crawling peg" policy in urban planning, the financial supports for upgrading wet market facilities and reducing rental fees, and the regulations on the retailing of fresh produce in supermarkets. These policies ensure that there is relatively equitable and easy access to healthy food for Nanjing residents and that the establishment of new wet markets keeps up with urban population growth. These food policies in Nanjing provide important lessons for other cities in the world to foster urban food security.

“…Estudios previos indican que las amas de casa son expertas en negociación con el minorista en mercados tradicionales (Sharif et al, 2015), ya que en muchos de estos lugares aún funciona el regateo; esta situación genera que los mercados minoristas sean considerados lugares para la interacción social activa entre vendedores y sus clientes. De acuerdo con Chamhuri et al (2015), los pequeños minoristas fidelizan a sus compradores gracias a una relación informal basada en saludos, preguntas sobre la familia, la salud, entre otros, es decir, en técnicas de rapport (técnicas que generan simpatía en las relaciones interpersonales).…”

“…La cercanía entre cliente y vendedor, basada en técnicas de rapport, permite generar lealtad e influye en la percepción del cliente de recibir productos de mejor calidad. Pese a los esfuerzos de los minoristas de formatos modernos como, por ejemplo, los grandes almacenes, por tratar de tener un servicio al cliente que sea percibido como más próximo, ya sea usando tarjetas de fidelización o cualquier otro mecanismo para conocer mejor al cliente, la posibilidad de negociación sigue siendo un aspecto relevante para las amas de casa (Sharif et al, 2015).…”

La presente investigación se enfoca en identificar las diferencias entre el comercio tradicional (mercados de abastos) y el comercio moderno (supermercados), en un contexto en el cual el mercado tradicional representa alrededor del 80% de la venta de alimentos no procesados. Estas diferencias contribuyen a frenar la expansión del comercio moderno en algunas megaciudades. El método tomó como fuente una encuesta realizada por la Organización de Agricultura y Alimentos de las Naciones Unidas (fao) en el 2017 a amas de casa de Lima metropolitana, aplicando un muestreo probabilístico. Se evaluaron estadísticamente tanto los atributos del grupo de amas de casa que refirieron comprar en un mercado de abastos como los de las amas de casa que prefirieron un supermercado. Los resultados muestran cómo el trato personal y las posibilidades de regatear son los atributos diferenciadores en el grupo de amas de casa que prefieren el canal tradicional frente al moderno, y que aquellas que prefieren el comercio moderno lo hacen por darle mayor importancia a los atributos de seguridad, limpieza y estacionamiento de vehículos. Finalmente, se concluye que los atributos diferenciadores están asociados a la atmósfera, por lo que precio, variedad, conveniencia e, incluso, el hecho de ser un alimento fresco son atributos relevantes para la decisión, pero no son atributos diferenciadores.

Overweightness and obesity is a problem that has been rising in the Malaysian suburban environment. This study is conducted to evaluate the healthy food behavior, attitudes, knowledge and healthy environment of obese school children aged 10-11 years old. Obese school children received the nutritional educational program (NEP) comprised of a video, a comic reading session and a food selection game. The intervention resulted in a significant increase for healthy food behaviour, attitude and knowledge. However, there is an only minimal impact for a healthy environment. Overall, the results indicate that the nutritional educational program has positive impact in preventing obesity.
