CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF STUDY

According to Wikipedia” A market, or marketplace, is a location where

people regularly gather for the purchase and sale of provisions, livestock, and
other goods. In different parts of the world, a market place may be described as
a souk (from the Arabic), bazaar (from the Persian), a fixed mercado (Spanish),
or itinerant tianguis (Mexico), or palengke (Philippines)”. In the market
economy, goods are ungraded and unbranded, so that consumers have
relatively few opportunities to evaluate quality prior to consumption.
Consequently, supervision of weights, measures, food quality and prices was a
key consideration..There are many different ways to classify markets. One way
is to consider the nature of the buyer and the market's place within the
distribution system. This leads to two broad classes of market, namely retail
market or wholesale markets.
