abstract: Provides reproducible tools for analysing agricultural marketing channels,
  price spread, the producer's share in the consumer price, intermediary costs and
  margins, and alternative indices of marketing efficiency. Implements conventional,
  Shepherd, and Acharya measures; validates stage-level channel accounts; compares
  and ranks channels; and supplies bootstrap confidence intervals, scenario sensitivity
  analysis, loss-adjusted margins, break-even calculations, and base-graphics methods.
