The results identified three marketing channels: , 1) producer–retailer–consumer, 2) producer–collector–retailer–consumer, and 3) producer–collector–wholesaler–retailer–consumer. In each marketing channels, different marketing margins were formed across each marketing institution. Marketing channel I (producer–retailer–consumer) was the most efficient as it yielded the highest producer's share of 96%. Although all three channels were classified as efficient based on a producer's share exceeding 60%, the price transmission elasticity value of 1.17 indicated that the marketing system was not yet fully efficient due to imperfect price transmission mechanisms. In conclusion, shorter marketing chains would lead to higher efficiency and a larger price share for the producer. Key words: chicken egg, margins, marketing channel, producer share]]>
