This TMA and the attached case study is about collaboration between a big American retailer Walmart and small producers from the developing world.
Walmart teamed up with small producers in various developing countries for two main purposes: help enhance the capabilities and livelihoods of these small producers; and provide their customers with new and high quality products. To do so, Walmart set up two programmes that specifically targeted local producers: the Direct Farm programme which worked with farmers from the developing countries to source fresh fruits and vegetables for Walmart’s local stores; and the Empowering Women Together (WET) programme sourced unique, hand-made apparel, jewellery, home goods and food products made by small, women owned and women empowering enterprises and offered these products to Walmart’s online customers.
In both programs, Walmart was working with small and medium producers from the developing world who had primarily sold their products in informal local markets and had little or no prior experience in accessing a global retailer’s supply chain.
