Abstract

This paper is aimed to explore the market structure and analyze the competitive process of the sugarcane market in the Mekong Delta. Criteria including barriers to entry, buyer and seller concentration, classification of product quality, and distribution of market information were recruited in the study. SCP approach and descriptive statistics were applied in data analysis. The result of the study indicates that the sugarcane market in the study was competitive. The concentration level of the sugarcane market was rather high; and competition among enterprises were detected, but not too fierce and acrimonious. However, sugarcane traders and wholesalers whose market shares are low were operating their business in a highly competitive market. To sugarcane competitors, the concentration of market share in a certain sugar business cannot be identified; and it is easy for traders to access to market information.
