Furthermore, there is no consensus yet about the extent to which decoupled payments are capitalized in land values In recent years, a considerable number of articles have analyzed the effects of multilateral trade liberalization that focus on market access, export subsidies, and domestic support and that evaluate these effects with a particular focus on developing countries Martin, 2006, 2005;Anderson and Valenzuela, 2007;Bouët et al., 2005;Bureau et al., 2006;Martin and Anderson, 2008;McCalla and Nash, 2007b). Notwithstanding general trade liberalization, some analyses continue to focus on the effects of domestic support versus export subsidies (Nuetah et al., 2011), domestic support versus tariffs (Tamini et al., 2012), and agricultural tariffs versus subsidies (Hoekman et al., 2004). (Dimaranan et al., 2004;Rae and Strutt, 2003), in particular, examine the effects of domestic support on developing countries. ...
... On the other hand, a group of professional e-merchants has been generated to complete the classification of local agricultural products on their own and to form scale sales on e-commerce platforms to reduce sales costs [81].

The following hypothesis was proposed: Hypothesis 2 (H2). ...
