The following paper explores the price generation mechanisms in Fresh table grape TG local market in S-E Bari (Southern Italy) to disclose asymmetric price transmission in one of the largest markets for TG worldwide using the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) method. The FCM is an innovative analytical tool that helps digging expert and locally based market knowledge on price generation dynamics.
