In the first stage, extensive background information was collected from secondary sources, including published and unpublished materials, and web sites to deepen understanding of the marketing systems of processed potato products. In the second stage, descriptive information was collected from key informants and groups of respondents using a checklist. In this stage, a rapid market assessment survey was conducted to collect qualitative preliminary information from key informants and groups of respondents using a guideline. The first two stages helped design an appropriate questionnaire. In the third stage, the structured questionnaire was developed for different strata of respondents. Three types of structured questionnaires were developed for different strata of respondents: Hotels, Bars and Restaurants, and households to collect quantitative information. The questionnaire was pre-tested to verify the validity of questions and the time for interviews. Even though the standard questionnaire was developed, some modifications were made after pretesting according to the local circumstances of each country. Enumerators were recruited and trained to enable them to collect quality data using questionnaires. Data collected were processed using Excel and SPSS packages. 8 M A R K E T S F O R F R E S H A N D F R O Z E N P O T A T O C H I P S I N T H E E C A
