French term

circuit de distribution court

French to English Bus/Financial Economics
I would translate "circuit de distribution" as "distribution network". Can one speak of a network being "short" or "long" though??
"Le marché met en présence des vendeurs et des acheteurs. Il portera sur des produits parfaitement identifié (caractéristiques, qualité, calibre, origine, …). Ainsi le prix des tomates ne sera pas identique selon la variété, la qualité, … Le marché dépendra aussi des quantités échangées (marché de gros, de demi-gros, de détail) et des circuits de distribution (***circuits courts ou longs****)."

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "The sources quoted explain "short" channels as being channels with fewer or no intermediaries, so that seems okay to me (had never seen that before). Also, after further reading of the text, I think it is more channels than networks here."

local or more wide-ranging networks

As they are talking about distribution of fruit and veg, this seems a straightforward way of expressing it (and avoiding 'short' which, as you say, sounds odd/wrong when used with 'networks')
