With traditional vegetable marketing constrained, retail marketing is a complementary way to addressing price variations and transportation costs. However, before significantly enhancing the retail marketing system for vegetables, essential stakeholders, vegetable growers, must be consulted. Thereby an ex-post facto study was formulated to study the opinion of vegetable farmers on retail marketing and ascertain its relationship with a profile of the respondents. A sample of 150 respondents following a multi-stage sampling were contacted using a pre-tested interview schedule. The results were tabulated using mean and standard deviation to proceed further into performing the chi-square test. The majority of vegetable farmers have a favorable opinion believing retail marketing would reduce their marketing costs (78.00%) and increase returns (74.00%). The respondents agreed that it was suitable for their location (55.33) and all kinds of farmers (52.00%). Still, they raised their concerns about rules and regulations (80.6%) and dependency on the retail agency (49.33%). Variables like vegetable growers' education, landholding, the area under vegetable cultivation, market intelligence, market orientation, and decision-making ability, credit orientation positively influence their opinion formation toward retail marketing. The results of this research act as a road map for extension officers and retail agencies in strengthening retail marketing as a viable marketing channel.
