Salem Al-Oun

Based on field research, this paper provides analysis of sheep cheese market channels in the Badia of Jordan. The goal is to inform policymakers, researchers and development programmes about this commodity's market in that area. It also addresses market impact on Badia development and the challenges that face small-scale producers in accessing the market. Specifically, it investigates farmers' channel choices, and determinants of market choices after the introduction of the Badia Research and Development Centre (BRDC)'s innovation.
