Abstract: Reform of our circulation system of farm products is urgent when there are high start costs, administration costs, and high transaction costs and opportunity costs incurred by distortion of market signals. Macroeconomic control by the government, wholesale markets as market centers, and management roles of the firms are all very important for the reform.

Key words: circulation system of farm products, institutional change, path-dependence, target mode
