How is consumer sovereignty affected in countries that don't use a market system?
Consumer sovereignty in an economy is a condition by which the buyer determines the
producers output. Consumer tends to go to the market with a notion they will find their choice of
product at the best price possible. The consumer will be affected negatively since the producer
will only manage to provide a fixed amount of product to control the price.
Can you find any information about goods and services that are unavailable in these areas?
Goods and services unavailable are deemed expensive such that the majority of consumers
cannot afford. Goods and services are deemed exclusive and not consumer controlled (Swallow,
Meinzen-Dick & Van Noordwijk, 2016).
How do consumers assert their sovereignty in these countries?
Consumers assert their sovereignty through purchasing products that have fixed prices and they
have no alternatives in the market. Consumers purchase demand is often low in the economy.
Goods and services in the market are planned for the consumers to have enough.
