This paper explores the unaddressed question of how the large, complex paddy-rice market in Bangladesh is able to transform itself and evolve, in the face of changing risks and incentives, into a better-functioning market system. It notes significant but opposing trends over two decades in different areas, particularly in terms of market structure, trade circuits and exchange relations. Evidence of a sharp decline in tied transactions points to the growing importance of impersonal exchange. The underlying causes of these changes are explored, with particular reference to microfinance, remittances, rural roads and mobile telephony
