Dataset for: Study of Descentralized Agroecological Fairs in Peru: Dataset 1 - Characterization Questionnaires and Index Product Prices

The fair-characterization form was designed to gather detailed information on each fair’s layout, organizational structure, number and type of stands, communication channels used to reach consumers, institutional participation, educational outreach materials, available payment methods, the presence or absence of different certification or consumer-assurance mechanisms, decision-making modalities (governance), and the overall profile of vendors as producers and suppliers.

This instrument was administered to individuals directly involved in organizing each fair and those knowledgeable about its history and operational characteristics. Local representatives and technicians from IDMA and ANPE fulfilled this role and completed the forms either in print or in digital Word format. In addition, through the systematic recording of product sales prices, information was collected on the prices of a selected group of index products across 12 fairs.
