Description

Definition

Assembler - one who buys from producers and contract buyers, and assembles the products in large volume and transfer them to market centers. He sells products also on a wholesale basis.

Imputation and derivation

Derivation

During the electronic data processing, the field supervisors were asked to encode 1 if CODE 4 - Assembler is encircled as one of the sample farmer's buyers of tomato produce.
The encoded number one (1) acts much like a "tick mark" and allowed the data processing system to count the responses pertaining to the said type of buyer.

Others

Notes

There was no other buyer mentioned by the sample farmers that is not specified already in the questionnaire.
