Abstract

As many of the large-scalefarms are supported by vegetable production and marketing-related companies, there are many related companies in the area. Their business features are various: some are large and others are small; some are subsidiaries and others are invested jointly by large-scale farms. This paper discusses the industrial cluster formed by the large-scale vegetable farms and their related companies.
