A Proposal for Public-Discount Markets Cooperation Within the Scope of Fighting Against Food-Based Poverty in Türkiye: A Theoretical Perspective
Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine how discount markets, which are officially reported to have a significant share of Türkiye’s retail market, can be utilized by social state mechanisms in the context of combating poverty. Poverty is one of the most significant issues that humanity has struggled with from the past to the present. While the public sector assumes a primary role in addressing this issue, discount markets may also assume a complementary role to the social state by providing easy access for lower-income groups. Discount markets can make significant contributions in terms of providing economic accessibility, increasing consumer benefits, reducing social inequality, offering food security, supporting local suppliers, and ensuring homogeneity and average quality in consumption. However, the fact that discount markets have some negative empirical results and are imperfect markets should also be taken into account when deciding on appropriate social policy. Neoclassical economics and liberal ideology generally do not support an active role of the state in ensuring justice in income distribution. Therefore, collaboration between the public sector and discount markets is deemed important for the effectiveness of lump-sum subsidy programs aimed at poverty reduction.
