Analysis of asymmetric price transmission of selected vegetables in Peninsular Malaysia

The wholesalers are practicing strategic pricing behavior in Malaysian vegetables markets to the extents that increase in the farm products prices were not fully transmitted to farmers as decrease, resulting to marketing inefficiency and loss of farmer’s income. Thus, the study aims to examine the e...
