Extract

Little is known about the strategic management process of farmers and particularly about the factors and the farmers’ characteristics that influence them to choose a particular strategic alternative. Some studies have attempted to identify the characteristics of farmers using particular channels. Distribution risk and transaction cost are some factors that influcence marketing decision making (Royer 1995, Hobbs 1996). This paper examines which farm and farmer’s characteristics affect the choice of marketing channel by sheep producers in the county of Cornwall in UK.
