Abstract

The objectives of the Maputo Market Study were: to develop an initial description and preliminary analysis of the structure and conduct of the informal food wholesaling and retailing sector in Maputo, with emphasis on the marketing of maize grain and flours, and to quantify the principal costs incurred and approximate margins earned by traders in the sector. This report briefly describes the Maputo Market Study. It identifies and describes the function of the principal informal market places in Maputo, and examines the organization and behavior of informal food wholesaling in Maputo.
