The Sulawesi cocoa marketing channel: an "almost perfect" competition
Through a brief description of the establishment of the Sulawesi cocoa marketing channel with an increasing number of middlemen and exporters, the authors demonstrate its extremely close competition and high economic efficiency in terms of low marketing and transaction costs and high producer prices which contribute to a major windfall. As most smallholders and middlemen belong to the famous Bugis people and as they operate in a freemarket environment, this cocoa success story is interpreted as the result of both a free market policy and the ability of Bugis to seize its economic opportunities.
