Local product sales differ significantly from larger global systems due to their unique market structure, distribution channels, and marketing strategies. Local markets are typically smaller, fragmented, and focused on niche segments such as organic or artisanal products. Direct sales through farmers' markets, local stores, and digital platforms, alongside cooperatives, enable producers to minimize intermediaries and expand their reach. Marketing emphasizes local identity, sustainability, and community connection. Key stakeholders, including producers, consumers, intermediaries, and government organizations, play vital roles in shaping the success and sustainability of local product markets
