Estimating the Carbon Footprint of Florida Orange Juice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spreen,   Thomas H.; Dwivedi,   Puneet; Goodrich-Schneider,   Renee.
This study is a part of a comprehensive study which attempts to create a baseline of global warming impact (expressed in total greenhouse gas emission and measured in terms of carbon equivalent) associated with the production and consumption of a gallon of orange juice available in the form of NFC (Not from Concentrate) and FCOJ (Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice) in Florida. A detailed life‐cycle approach is adopted and greenhouse gas emissions of all the steps in the supply chain starting from citrus nursery management to the point where customer purchases juice from a food store are considered. This study reports total greenhouse gas emission related with the management of an acre orange grove under the two scenarios of with and without resetting of...

FRESH VERSUS PROCESSED UTILIZATION OF FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Muraro,   Ronald P.
The allocation problem of sending grapefruit to packinghouses versus processing plants is considered in this paper. The authors examine on-tree grower prices reported by the USDA for fresh and processed grapefruit and report that these prices do not reflect the alternative returns necessary for this allocation decision. The USDA processed on-tree price is a weighted average of returns for fruit that is intended for processing and fruit that is not intended for processing while the USDA fresh on-tree price is for fruit that is only intended for the fresh market.

Economic Issues of Invasive Pests and Diseases and Food Safety
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Evans,   Edward A.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Knapp,   J.L.
The problem of invasive pests and diseases has become more urgent and far more complex today than in the recent past. Increased trade and movement of people, and the opening up of new trade routes have increased opportunities for the spread of invasive species. In addition, mono-cropping systems of cultivation; globalization; increased resistance of pests to pesticides and food safety and environmental concerns have all contributed to the growing complexity of the problem on hand. The economic dimensions of the problem can be viewed from at least two perspectives. First, with regard to the spread and impact of invasive species, particularly how best to provide more comprehensive assessments of impacts of invasions, so as to improve the cost effectiveness...

The impact of generic advertising and the free rider problem: a look at the U.S. orange juice market and imports
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying; Spreen,   Thomas H.
Increased demand for an advertised product may increase price, which, in turn, may lead to a free rider problem where competitive imports increase and result in a smaller price increase than otherwise.  A study of Florida Department of Citrus advertising for orange juice indicated that the free rider problem has notably limited the impact of advertising on price in the U.S. market.  High U.S. orange juice demand, which in part has been a result of advertising, has attracted substantial amounts of orange juice imports.  Imports have eroded the impact of advertising on price by an estimated two-thirds.

Industry Networks and Sustainable Competitive Advantages in Brazilian and U.S. Processed Citrus Supply Chains
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sterns,   James A.; Spreen,   Thomas H.
The states of Sao Paulo, Brazil and Florida, United States collectively dominate the world supply of orange juice. Collectively, these two regions account for over 80 percent of world processed orange production (Spreen, et al). Florida is the prime supplier to the United States and Canada, while Sao Paulo dominates world trade of orange juice and is the primary supplier to the EU market. It is these three markets - the United States, Canada and the EU - that represent the vast majority of global consumption of processed orange products (Spreen). The global dominance by these two national industries is being threatened. Both the Florida and Sao Paulo citrus industries are experiencing outbreaks of the same potentially devastating diseases  - citrus canker...

STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND STABILITY OF THE HOG CYCLE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shonkwiler,   John Scott; Spreen,   Thomas H.
Cyclical fluctuations in prices and production have long characterized the United States hog industry. Recent evidence suggests that the length of the hog cycle has changed. In order to determine whether the change in cycle length is statistically significant, the bootstrap technique is employed to derive confidence intervals for point estimates of the hog cycle. Application of the bootstrap technique to time series models is discussed and empirical results are presented. It is concluded that the hog cycle is undergoing rather complicated changes based on cycle lengths that are calculated to be statistically different from zero.

The Free Trade Area of the Americas and the Market for Processed Orange Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spreen,   Thomas H.; Brewster,   Charlene; Brown,   Mark G.
The proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas would join the world’s two largest processed orange producing regions: Brazil and the United States.  Because the United States currently imposes a sizeable tariff on imported processed orange products, there is concern by U.S. orange growers over possible adverse effects resulting from tariff elimination.  A model of the world processed orange market is developed as a spatial equilibrium model with implicit supply functions based on the dynamic behavior of orange production.  The model is used to estimate the impact of U.S. tariff elimination on U.S. production, grower and processor prices, and imports.  The results suggest a sizeable price impact on U.S. producers if the tariff is eliminated.

Invasive Species and Biosecurity: Cost of Monitoring and Controlling Mediterranean Fruit Flies in Florida
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pierre,   Raphael; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Moss,   Charles B.
The growing movement of people and goods that started in the closing years of the twentieth century has increased the possibility of the accidental or intentional introduction of biohazards that can affect agricultural production in the United States.  This study examines the ex ante decision between the deployment of monitoring devices (traps) versus the use of countermeasures to control Mediterranean fruit flies in Florida.  To examine this tradeoff, this study outlines a mathematical model to study the effectiveness of traps and the cost of treatment.  The empirical results presented in this study indicate that additional parameterization efforts are needed.

SEASONALITY OF CLASS I PRICE DIFFERENTIAL ESTIMATES FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Testuri,   Carlos E.; Kilmer,   Richard L.; Spreen,   Thomas H.
This study provides insight into the seasonality of Class I price differentials in the southeastern dairy industry.  This is accomplished by analyzing monthly estimates of Class I price differentials obtained from the imputed price solution or dual solution of a generalized capacitated minimum cost network flow model of the dairy industry.  A smooth seasonal pattern emerges through the monthly sequence with the lowest and highest estimated Class I price differentials occurring in April and September respectively.  Miami and Jacksonville areas reach $5.40 and $4.36 per hundredweight in April and $6.79 and $5.53 per hundredweight in September.

Substitution between domestic and imported orange juice and impacts of U.S. tariffs on prices and production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
A demand system model differentiating goods by product form and origin is developed to examine the impact of eliminating U.S. tariffs on orange-juice prices.  An empirical analysis suggests a range of tariff impacts on prices depending on the degree of substitution between products.  The model yielded similar results as alternative models when substitution was assumed to be relatively strong.  In the long run, lower, without-tariff prices can be expected to lead to lower Florida orange planting and production levels.  A sustained reduction in the U.S. OJ price of half the value of the FCOJ tariff is estimated to reduce orange planting levels by about 50% and orange production would declined by 24% by 2021-22.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF A BAN OF METHYL BROMIDE ON THE U.S. WINTER FRESH VEGETABLE MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Deepak,   M.S.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; VanSickle,   John J.
This study evaluates the economic impact of a ban on methyl bromide on the U.S. winter fresh vegetable market for six major crops: tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, and watermelons. Florida is the primary domestic supplier of these products. Mexico and Texas are the competing suppliers of the five vegetable crops and peppers, respectively. Leontief technologies represent both monocrop and double-crop production systems; linear inverse demand functions represent four demand regions in the U.S. and Canada. By increasing production costs and reducing yields, a ban on methyl bromide decreases Florida's FOB revenues by 54% and increases those of Mexico by 65%. Price increases to U.S. fresh vegetable consumers range from near zero to over...

Impact of U.S. duty drawback on the demand for orange juice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Fernandes,   Waldir B.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
A demand system model differentiating goods by origin is developed to examine impacts of duty drawback on U.S. orange juice exports and prices.  An empirical analysis suggests that on average duty drawback has increased annual orange juice exports by about 16.5 million SSE gallons or 11% of export sales, and has supported the U.S. price of orange juice by about 2 cents per gallon.  Not all benefits of duty drawback go to exporters.  Importers who own drawback credits but do not export product may realize benefits by selling their credits to exporters.  The analysis suggests these benefits effectively reduce by the U.S. orange juice tariff, positively impacting imports and negatively impacting the U.S. price.

IMPACTS ON U.S. PRICES OF REDUCING ORANGE JUICE TARIFFS IN MAJOR WORLD MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
A demand model is developed to examine the impacts on orange juice prices resulting from elimination or reduction of the tariffs on orange juice imposed by the United States, European Union, and Japan. An empirical analysis suggests that elimination of the U.S. tariff by itself would decrease the U.S. orange juice price by about $0.22 per gallon, while simultaneous elimination of the U.S., European, and Japanese tariffs would decrease the U.S. price by about $0.13 per gallon. Alternatively, reducing these tariffs according to the Swiss 25 formula would decrease the U.S. price by an estimated $0.09 per gallon. The U.S. produces about 1.4 billion gallons of orange juice annually and each penny reduction in the price impact increases U.S. orange juice FOB...

The monthly and quarterly price determination processes for 31-40 and 21-25 size classes of raw-headless shrimp were examined to determine price leadership between market levels.  Causal relationships were assessed using Haugh-Pierce, Sims, and Granger methods.  Price models at the retail, wholesale, and exvessel market levels were estimated.  Economic factors analyzed were income, prices of competing products, landings and imports of raw headless shrimp, total retail supply, beginning stocks, and marketing costs.  Monthly prices generally exhibited unidirectional causality from exvessel to retail price.  Quarterly prices were determined interdependently among market levels.  Price responses between market levels were found to by symmetric with beginning...

The use of alternative probability density functions to specify risk in farm programming models is explored and compared to a traditional specification using historical data.  A method is described that compares risk efficient crop mixes using stochastic dominance techniques to examine impacts of different risk specifications on farm plans.  Results indicate that a traditional method using historical farm data is as efficient for risk averse producers as two other methods of incorporating risk in farm programming models when evaluated using second degree stochastic dominance.  Stochastic dominance with respect to a function further discriminates among the distributions, indicating that a density function based on the historic forecasting accuracy of the...

An analysis of a typical crop and livestock farm in North Florida is presented. The analysis incorporates the potential competition and complementarity among crop and beef cattle enterprises. A Target MOTAD model is developed to account for risk in a decision framework. The results indicate that when income risk is ignored, peanuts, watermelon, and stocker cattle are the only enterprises included in the optimal solution. When income risk is heavily weighted, the optimal solution includes peanuts, watermelon, stocker cattle, cow-calf, and irrigated soybeans. The results suggest that the persistence of cow-calf production may be explained as a stabilizer of income.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lopez,   Rigoberto A.; Spreen,   Thomas H.
This paper examines the potential benefits of introducing a new payment scheme in a sugarcane processing cooperative. Findings suggest that a use-value payment system would increase individual and total members’ net returns significantly over a sugar-based system. The proposed payment system would change the incentive structure so varieties with higher processing quality would become more appealing. In addition, the cooperative plant would be used more uniformly throughout the processing season and payments to members would be more consistent with their contribution to cooperative surplus.

THE IMPACT OF THE REDUCTION IN THE AUSTRALIAN ORANGE-JUICE TARIFF
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Spreen,   Thomas H.
After substantial reduction in the Australian orange juice tariff, citrus growers in that country shifted their efforts away from Valencia orange production towards Navel oranges intended for the fresh market. Australia has been successful in penetrating the world market for fresh oranges. Given the large size of the orange industry in Florida, however, it is unlikely that Florida growers could follow the same model if the U.S. orange juice were substantially reduced or eliminated.

From 2000 through 2004, per capita orange juice purchases decreased by 12.3 percent while the popularity and media coverage of low-carbohydrate dieting exploded.  Content analysis was used to count selected Southern region newspaper articles topically related to low-carbohydrate dieting, the Atkins diet, and the South Beach diet.  This data was included in a Southern region orange juice demand model, where purchase data served as the independent variable and proxy for consumer demand of orange juice.  Results indicated that media coverage of low-carbohydrate diets and dieting was negatively and significantly related to demand for orange juice in the Southern region.

Autores: Knight,   Erika P.; House,   Lisa; Lee,   Jonq-Ying; Spreen,   Thomas H.
Supermarket shelves are saturated with numerous varieties and brands of juice beverages. This high level of assortment has dramatically changed beverage consumption patterns and trends throughout the United States. In fact, during 2004-2005, energy and sport drinks experienced significant increases in sales, 65.9% and 20.6 %, respectively. During the same period of time, refrigerated juice sales increased a mere 2.2%, shelved non-fruit drinks decreased 0.9%, bottled juices and cocktails both decreased 1.5 % and frozen juice decreased by 12.8% (Food Industry Review 2006). The beverage industry has undergone many transformations, but consumer theory states that a shift in demand for one good has to be compensated by a shift in the opposite directions in the...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gao,   Xiaoming; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Delorenzo,   Michael A.
Seasonal price premiums have been proposed as a means of dampening the highly seasonal patterns of milk production in Florida. A Markov decision bio-economic model of the breeding and replacement decisions was solved via stochastic dynamic programming and used to analyze the potential supply response to seasonal price premiums. The results of the analysis suggest that the seasonal milk supply in Florida is highly price inelastic.

A MIXED-INTEGER PROGRAMMING ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF A FLORIDA-BASED CATTLE FEEDING INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spreen,   Thomas H.; Moseley,   Anne E.; Pheasant,   Jim W.
Florida is typical of many southeastern states in that it exports feeder cattle and imports carcass and boxed beef. The objective of this paper is to estimate the cost of retaining feeder cattle in Florida, feeding these cattle to slaughter weights, slaughtering them, and distributing the meat to retail outlets. A mixed integer programming model is developed. The optimal number and location of feedlots and slaughter plants are determined. The results indicate that at production levels exceeding 600,000 head, the cost of producing carcass beef in the State is comparable to the average for the United States.

How Do Different Countries Use Labeling Standards: A Case Study Comparing Wisconsin Real Cheese to Parmigiano-Reggiano
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Patel,   Payal; House,   Lisa; Spreen,   Thomas H.
Product labeling is an important dimension in food retailing. The evolution of Protected Geographic Indicators (PGI) and Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in the European Union are used to identify products grown in a specific region or food products produced using a specific technology. The United States has followed a different path with the use of certifyca-tion/trademarks to identify either product origin or other differentiable characteristics. The divergence of the two approaches has led to trade disputes and WTO lawsuits. In this paper, the main attributes of the two approaches are identified and highlighted with a brief case study comparing Wisconsin Real Cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano from Italy.

MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES FOR JAMAICA’S GRAPEFRUIT INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Evans,   Edward A.; Nalampang,   Sikavas; Spreen,   Thomas H.
Several Caribbean sugar producing countries are actively looking for viable alternatives to recover some of the expected lost revenues due to the WTO (World Trade Organization) ruling that sugar subsidies in the European Union (EU) are illegal. One alternative worth considering is exporting fresh grapefruits to the EU. This marketing opportunity comes about as the United States of America (U.S.), the world’s leading grapefruit producer and exporter (over half of world production), has suffered a series of recent setbacks (citrus canker, citrus greening diseases, and devastating hurricanes) that threaten the future of that industry. Specifically, grapefruit and pomelo production in the U.S. has declined steadily since 2000 (from 2,506 thousand metric tons...

When Consumers Diet, Should Producers Care?  An Examination of Low-Carb Dieting and U.S. Orange Juice Consumption
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Love,   Leigh Ann; Sterns,   James A.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Wysocki,   Allen F.
From 2000 through 2004, per-capita orange juice purchases decreased by 12.3 percent in the United States, while the popularity and media coverage of low-carbohydrate dieting exploded. Content analysis was used to count selected newspaper articles topically related to low-carbohydrate dieting, the Atkins diet, and the South Beach diet. These data were included in a national orange juice demand model, where purchase data served as the independent variable and proxy for consumer demand of orange juice. Results indicate that media coverage of low-carbohydrate diets and dieting was negatively and significantly related to demand for orange juice in the United States.

An Update on the Consequences of EU Sugar Reform
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Moyo,   Sibusiso; Spreen,   Thomas H.
Since its formation the European Union (EU) has employed a rather complicated policy to ensure high prices to domestic sugar growers and trade preferences to certain sugar exporting countries, e.g. the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group. One result of this policy is that the EU has been both the second largest importer and second largest exporter in the world market. Under pressure from the World Trade Organization (WTO), the EU agreed to reform its policies toward sugar in 2001, with the full effect of the reforms being fully implemented in 2006. In this paper, the impact of the sugar reform on EU production, consumption, imports, and exports is examined especially with regard to how it all affects the ACP countries who receive preferential...
