| O pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) é um fruto nativo com ocorrência generalizada no Bioma Cerrado. O consumo e comercialização do fruto "in natura" e de seus derivados, com importância sócio-econômica, geram renda e emprego para agricultores familiares e trabalhadores com pouca qualificação profissional. Entretanto, a exploração sustentável desta atividade encontra-se ameaçada pelo desconhecimento do mercado consumidor, inexistência de padrões de qualidade na comercialização, dispersão, desarticulação e informalidade dos agentes e segmentos do arranjo extrativista. Visando gerar informações que contribuam para o fortalecimento da cadeia extrativista e o desenvolvimento sustentável, este trabalho teve como objetivos identificar e caracterizar os agentes... |

| It is not yet understood whether the implementation of traceability systems can contribute towards restoring consumer confidence in food quality and safety, one of the goals of the European Food Law. To date, little is known about how consumers perceive the role and potential impact of traceability within the supply chain. This paper aims to provide insight into how traceability information can offer guarantees of food quality and safety, and contribute towards increased consumer confidence. Data, collected in four EU countries, examines salient cognitions and attitudes that underpin consumer beliefs about product traceability that will influence their decision making. It will link traceability- related food attributes to perceived benefits (in terms of... |

| This study evaluates econometrically the effect of government support to agriculture on a measure of the affordability of food in 10 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The panel model we construct specifically utilizes two values calculated by the OECD: Producer Support Estimates as a percentage of gross farm receipts and the Consumer Nominal Protection Coefficient. These two variables represent transfers from taxpayers to agricultural producers through government programs and transfers from consumers to government through protectionist measures, respectively. By using dummy variables, we find implications for groups of countries on the basis of their relative levels of support and protection. |

| Over the past few years, certification schemes in the agribusiness sector have gained great importance as an instrument of quality assurance in the supply chain (Jahn et al. 2005; Fulponi2006; European Communities 2006a). Especially in the EU several standards have been established,which partially diverge extremely according to their focus, target groups and goals.While most of these systems have a rather low diffusion in the food sector (e. g. Label Rouge or Geprüfte Qualität Bayern), certification schemes such as QS, BRC, IFS or EurepGap already cover substantial parts and are widely known within the business (European Communities 2006a). However, the reputation and status which these systems have built up during the past few years, greatly depend on the... |

| Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are fighting for survival due to globalization, growing competition with big retailers, and strategies adopted by large industrial companies. Difficulties in pricing are also revealed in the literature. Therefore, appropriate activity is needed to be more a price maker than a taker, and to reach a better market power. On the other hand, market opportunities for SMEs are related to demand evolution toward food quality and traditional food products. To profit by such opportunities, SMEs need to focus on consumer requirements, by differentiating their products. In this way, firms could apply a premium price that justifies the peculiar value of the product, and that the consumer should be willing to pay. Nonetheless,... |

| This paper examines the impact of selected socioeconomic characteristics on aggregate and group food expenditure patterns of racially different low-income households. A double logarithmic functional form was used to explain responses in household food expenditures to socioeconomic factors. Household income, family size, and Food Stamp Program participation were found to exert a strong positive impact on food expenditures. The general educational level of the homemaker registered no significant impact on household food expenditures. However, the nutritional knowledge of the homemaker increased the efficiency of food purchasing activities. |

| Considerable resources in the beef industry have recently been devoted to the establishment of a system of product description. A prerequisite for the success of any such system is the objective determination of consumer preferences. The trial outlined in this paper was aimed at determining consumer preferences for beefloin and topside steaks, based on selected carcass classification criteria. It was found that consumers preferred lean steaks from young, electrically stimulated carcasses. |

| There is a common perception that healthy food costs more than less healthy food. In this study we use a demand model for diet quality, rather than the quantity of food. Since in our data, total daily cost and diet quality are both calculated from the foods chosen, we account for the fact that cost is endogenous. We find that while total daily food cost is statistically significant in relation to diet quality, the degree of association is very small. Hence, it does not appear that cost alone prevents individuals in the United States from purchasing a healthy diet. Other factors such as food culture and environment, health behaviours, and demographics are more important. Our findings suggest that the choice to consume a healthy diet is very complicated. |

| In December, 1955, the New South Wales Government amended the Dairy Industry Act, 1915-1955, to increase the quota of margarine production in this State from 2,500 tons to 9,000 tons per annum. Following - on a large increase in the Queensland quota some years earlier, this development heightened the perennial fears of dairying industry organisations that competition from margarine would have very serious effects on the incomes of Australian dairymen. However, speaking during the second reading of the bill (November 23, 1955), the Minister for Agriculture and Food Production gave as his opinion that "whatever effect margarine has upon the dairy industry at present, the tendency in the future will be for it to diminish ... ". It is the purpose of this... |

| Nutrient labeling is found to significantly affect consumer purchase behavior; some evidence that consumers may act as if they hold nutrient (or health risk) budgets is found. Providing nutrient information may allow consumers to more easily switch consumption away from "unhealthy" products in those food categories where differences in other quality characteristics (e.g., taste) are relatively small between the more and less "healthy" products, toward "unhealthy" products in categories where differences may be relatively large (i.e., a "substitution effect"). If this substitution effect is large, nutrient labeling may not change the overall consumption of "unhealthy" nutrients and thus may not lead to significant changes in health risk. |

| This study analyzes public perceptions on food safety using a national survey conducted soon after the nationwide spinach recall (November 2006). We explore relationships between peoples' perceived risks of food contamination (spinach in this case) and their trust in the institutions in charge of safeguarding/ensuring safety. Finally, we explore relationships between individual observance of basic good food handling practices and food safety. Trust in institutions through which food passes and regulatory agencies were shown to be critical in determining food safety perceptions. For example, skepticism with which the public views food corporations (processors, transporters or retailers) impacted food safety perceptions negatively. On the other, confidence... |

| Afiatalkorúak célcsoportja a piac leginkább befolyásolható szegmensét jelenti. Kutatásaink szerint a fiatalok fele nem fordít különösebb figyelmet az egészséges táplálkozásra, s a fiataloknak csupán egyharmada érti az élelmiszercímke jelöléseit. Súlyosbítja a helyzetet, hogy magas zsír-, só-, cukortartalmú élelmiszereket (például gyorséttermi láncok termékei, kóla, chips) népszerűsítenek. Ahazai élelmiszercímke-szabályozásban mindenképpen célszerű figyelembe venni más országok gyakorlatát, különös tekintettel az Egyesült Államok élelmiszercímkéire, valamint a Magyar Nemzeti Szívalapítvány elképzeléseire. Az elmaradás eredménye a 20%-ban túlsúlyos, egészségügyi problémákkal küzdő fiatal nemzedék!... |

| Food safety regulations are evolving to more performance-based regimes in which firrms have greater flexibility and responsibility for adopting effective controls. Within this context, this paper compares performance and process standards modeling the variability of industry-level compliance and therefore the resultant level of food safety. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted manipulating five factors: the variances of input use of efficient and inefficient firms, the proportion of inefficient firms in the industry, the mean of the error term for inefficient firms, and the policymakers' level of risk aversion. Results suggest that process standards may be preferred over performance standards when inefficient firms prevail in the industry, when input use... |
