The study provides an overview of econometric methodologies, review global assessment methods, and identifies the major elements that influence market integration, such as commerce, social capital, government interference, export policies, institutions, information, competition, and market power. The finding reveals a rise in research activities between 2000 and 2015, with a growing focus on developing countries. This work is to offer a synopsis to researchers, academicians, and policy makers on the extent of the food market both internationally and domestically. This paper will be helpful for the researchers interested in understanding and investigating the dynamics of food market integration with a useful resource by classifying previous works and identifying current developments.
