Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Taylor,   Richard D.
This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 1997-2007 period by using the World Wheat Policy Simulation Model.  This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, the weather, and technological change. Both the U.S. and world wheat economies are predicted to be optimistic for the next ten years.  World demands for both common and durum wheat are expected to grow faster than world production of the two wheat classes, resulting in gradual increases in prices of the wheats. World trade volumes of both classes of wheat are expected to expand, but trade volume of durum wheat may grow faster than common wheat.

A BAYESIAN APPROACH TO OPTIMAL CROSS-HEDGING OF COTTONSEED PRODUCTS USING SOYBEAN COMPLEX FUTURES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rahman,   Shaikh Mahfuzur; Dorfman,   Jeffrey H.; Turner,   Steven C.
Cottonseed crushers face substantial risk in terms of input and output price variability and they are limited in their planning by the lack of viable futures markets for cottonseed or cottonseed products. This study examines the feasibility of cross-hedging cottonseed products using soybean complex futures. Bayesian tests for market efficiency are performed on the cash and futures prices. The test results reject the presence of nonstationary roots, leading to the conclusion that the markets are not efficient. Different cross-hedging strategies are designed and analyzed for eight different hedging horizons in order to maximize the expected profit and utility of the crusher. A Bayesian approach is employed to estimate the parameters, which is consistent with...

A Bayesian Examination of Anchoring Bias and Cheap Talks in Constructed Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Aadland,   David; Caplan,   Arthur J.
We present a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between anchoring bias, hypothetical bias, and cheap talk in constructed markets.  In our theory, interviewers provide agents with signals such as cheap talk and bid values while eliciting the value for nonmarket goods.  In response to these signals, agents revise their prior distributions over the value of the good.  Previous empirical studies have failed to account for the interaction between cheap talk and anchoring during this updating process, leading researchers to incorrectly assess the effects of cheap talk in reducing hypothetical bias.  In particular, we predict that cheap talk will appear to be more effective for relatively large bids.  We test our theory in an experimental...

A Bayesian Implementation of the Standard Optimal Hedging Model: Parameter Estimation Risk and Subjective Views
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shi,   Wei; Irwin,   Scott H.
We develop a Bayesian implementation of the standard optimal hedging model to analyze the impact of hedgers' subjective views on their hedging behavior. The results show the subjective views have a substantial impact on hedgers' optimal positions, explaining the large cross-sectional and time series variation of hedging positions in practice.

A Case Study of China's Commercial Pork Value Chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Hu,   Dinghuan; Fang,   Cheng.
In China, with the cost of improved technology rising, surplus labor shrinking, and demand for food quality and safety increasing, it will be just a matter of time before the country’'s hog production sector will be commercialized like that of developed countries. However, even if China'’s cost of production converges to international levels, as shown in this case study, China may continue to retain some competitive advantage because of the labor-intensive nature of the marketing services involved in hog processing and meat distribution. The supply of variety meats offers the most promising market opportunity for foreign suppliers in China. The market may open further if the tariff rate for variety meats is reduced from 20% and harmonized with the pork...

A Cointegration Analysis of Wool Prices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
Based on cointegration analysis and monthly data from 1976.8 to 1999.10, a long-run equilibrium relationship was found to exist between prices for wools of 19 to 23 microns, despite the wool Reserve Price Scheme operated until February 1991. Furthermore, the prices for 19, 20 and 21 micron wools were found to be weakly exogenous. The latter result suggested that, although co-integrated, prices for finer wools tended to be less volatile than coarser wools. The implications are that wool producers would enjoy more stable prices by producing finer wools and that cross-hedging is possible given co-movements of prices.

A Comparative Evaluation of Cash Flow and Batch Profit Hedging Effectiveness in Commodity Processing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dahlgran,   Roger A.
Agribusinesses make long-term plant-investment decisions based on discounted cash flow.  It is therefore incongruous for an agribusiness firm to use cash flow as a plant-investment criterion and then to completely discard cash flow in favor of batch profits as an operating objective.  This paper assumes that cash flow and its stability are important to commodity processors and examines methods for hedging cash flows under continuous processing.  Its objectives are (a) to determine how standard hedging models should be modified to hedge cash flows, (b) to outline the differences between cash flow hedging and profit hedging, and (c) to determine the effectiveness of hedging in reducing cash flow variability.  A cash flow hedging methodology is developed....

A Comparison Of Choice Experiments And Actual Grocery Store Behavior: An Empirical Application To Seafood Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hudson,   Darren; Gallardo,   Rosa Karina; Hanson,   Terrill R.
In this paper we compare results from an in-store field experiment and a mail survey choice experiment (CE) to investigate CE’s capacity in predicting grocery store market share. For the comparison, we used three seafood products: freshwater prawns, marine shrimp, and lobster. CE estimates were obtained via four econometric models: the conditional logit, the random parameter logit, the heteroskedastic extreme value, and the multinomial probit. We found that the level of control in the grocery store experiment and the choice of econometric model influenced the capacity of CE to predict grocery store market shares.

A comparison of economic and cultural incentives in the marketing of livestock in some districts of the northern communal areas of Namibia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Duvel,   G.H.; Stephanus,   A.L.
In an endeavour to improve the livestock production and particularly the marketing of livestock in the Northern Communal Areas of Namibia, this study analyses the perception of livestock farmers in this regard. The findings show that the decision making is significantly influenced by numerous socio-cultural considerations, which in many cases even overshadow the economic ones. This is manifested in the low off-take percentage, the lacking interest in commercial production, and the fact that the sale price offered to the farmer is not the most important consideration when deciding to whom to sell.

A comparison of hypothetical survey rankings with consumer shopping behavior and product knowledge
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Grebitus,   Carola; Colson,   Gregory; Menapace,   Luisa.
Hypothetical surveys are commonly used to elicit consumer behavior to guide product development, marketing, and labeling strategies. However, despite the prevalence of surveys in consumer food studies, previous work has not assessed the relationship between hypothetical responses and actual consumer behavior in real-world purchase situations.We explore whether attributes cited by consumers in surveys as being important to them when making decisions indeed factor into their product decision process in real-world markets. Evidence from a point of sale study of 702 pork purchasers indicates that there is a strong correspondence between hypothetical survey ratings and actual shopping behavior.

A CONJOINT ANALYSIS OF NEW FOOD PRODUCTS PROCESSED FROM UNDERUTILIZED SMALL CRAWFISH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Harrison,   R. Wes; Ozayan,   Aylin; Meyers,   Samuel P.
Attributes for two value-added seafood products derived from underutilized crawfish are analyzed using conjoint data from seafood restaurants in the southern region of the United States.  Preferences for the products' form, price, and flavor attributes were tested.  Statistical tests revealed that the attribute interactions were not significant, and part-worth utilities for all main effects were estimated using an additive preference model.  Results indicate that the new crawfish products should be marketed as a high-quality fresh soup base or seafood stuffing, priced between 30% and 50% of the cost of fresh crawfish tail meat.

A CRISE DO PODER ESTATAL E A REPRODUCAO DO CAPITALISMO
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Siqueira,   Euler David de.
In advanced capitalist societies, classified by Claus Offe as tardy-capitalists, one verifies a structural contradiction among the logics concerning valorization of capital and the processes of the publicadministration system. The continuous increase of work taxes in services, use values-producing work, or concrete work, usually classified as improductive work of higher value in advanced capitalist societies, according to Claus Offe, increasingly becomes a structural condition so that part of the work force may be converted into production of abstract trade/work values or into the merchandise social form. According to the Offean analysis on the growth of political-administrative systems in societies of tardy-capitalism, when organizing a portion of the...

A DECISION MODEL TO ASSESS CATTLE FEEDING PRICE RISK
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: May,   Gary J.; Lawrence,   John D.
Traditional break-even/fed cattle price projections do not provide adequate risk information to feeders, investors, lenders, and other stakeholders interested in cattle feeding decisions. The objectives of this study were two-fold: 1) develop a spreadsheet model that could estimate the net income distribution surrounding a cattle placement decision based on historical errors of futures based price forecasts, and 2) determine whether information generated from the model can be used to improve placement and marketing decisions. To accomplish objective 1, model was developed that could estimate the income distribution around a pen of cattle under a cash speculating and short hedge pricing strategy. Distribution estimates were based on 7 alternative forecast...

A desinformação como obstáculo ao consumo da carne suína in natura
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Falleiros,   Francine Taniguchi; Miguel,   Willian Correa; Gameiro,   Augusto Hauber.
Desde a década de 70 a suinocultura vem evoluindo significativamente, tornando-se uma moderna cadeia produtiva. Atualmente os produtores criam o suíno moderno com 55% a 60% de carne magra na carcaça e apenas de 1,0 a 1,5 centímetro de espessura de toucinho. Essa evolução faz com que mundialmente seja a carne mais consumida. No Brasil, contudo, o consumo de carne suína seguiu tendência contrária, quando comparado ao resto do mundo. Esta inversão de valores pode ser explicada por hábitos e tradições regionais e questões de saúde, essas últimas repletas de mitos e informações distorcidas, que prejudicam a imagem da carne suína in natura. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o grau de informação dos consumidores, a respeito da carne suína in natura...

A Diagnostic Perspective Assessment of the Production and Marketing System for Mangoes in the Eastern Caribbean
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hrapsky,   Alan; Weber,   Michael T.; Riley,   Harold.
The objective of this research was to provide USAID with a diagnostic-prescriptive  assessment of the mango commodity system that would be useful in the design and management of  USAID’s project portfolio. A secondary objective was to demonstrate how a market-guided food  systems approach could be applied to a particular commodity, thus facilitating coordination of  vertical stages in the agricultural production and marketing system. The food systems approach  begins with identification of consumer requirements in terms of product specifications and volume  flows, examines the production changes necessary to achieve these requirements, then  systematically diagnoses constraints at each stage in the production/marketing chain, and  prescribes realistic...

A Discriminant Analysis of Factors Associated with The Adoption Of Certified Organic Farming By Smallholder Farmers in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kisaka-Lwayo,   Maggie.
Discriminant analysis was used to identify the characteristics that distinguish between fully-certified organic, partially-certified organic and non-organic farmers in Umbumbulu district, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa (SA) during October- November 2004. 200 farmers interviewed were drawn by purposively selecting the 151 members of the Ezemvelo Farmers’ Organisation (EFO), and by random sampling 49 non-organic farmers in wards neighbouring EFO. Results from the two estimated discriminant functions suggested that farmers with higher household sizes, incomes, input costs per hectare and number of chickens owned, locations further from innovators and less risk aversion were more likely to be certified as organic. Household location should be considered in...

Autores: Nemeth-T.,   Anett; Vincze-Tóth,   Judit; Trojan,   Szabolcs.
A magyar hűtőipar számára a külföldi piacokon való értékesítés nagy jelentőségű. A hűtőipar talán az egyetlen ágazat, melynek termelése minőségileg sosem különült el az értékesítés piacai szerint, köszönhetően annak, hogy a vertikumban a nemzetközi követelmények érvényesültek. A komplex vásárlói modellek elemzését követően megállapítható, hogy az ízesített termékeket leginkább az aktív szellemi foglalkozásúak részesítik előnyben, akik átlag feletti jövedelemmel rendelkeznek. Az ízesített termékek és a vegyes összetevőjű (mix) termékek tipikus vásárlója között nem tapasztalható jelentős eltérés. A vizsgálat eredményei alapján az a következtetés vonható le, hogy az egy összetevőjű termékek vásárlói között a legalacsonyabb a férfiak és a legmagasabb a nők,...

Based on the findings of this study, the following actions are proposed for consideration by the Government of Kenya: 1. Raise public investment in maize seed breeding and agronomic research to make it possible for improvements in smallholder crop productivity. Based on research evaluating the returns to alternative investments in agriculture, public expenditures in maize seed breeding and agronomy may constitute the single most important investment to promote broad-based productivity growth and poverty reduction in Kenya. 2. Explore options for improving public and private extension programs to enable farmers to adopt improved farm technologies generated from point 1. 3. Examine options for bringing more land in Kenya under potential cultivation by...

A FELDOLGOZOTT FUNKCIONÁLIS ÉLELMISZEREK FOGYASZTÓI SZEGMENTÁLÁSA ÉS MAGATARTÁSI JELLEMZŐI
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lehota,   Jozsef; Komaromi,   Nandor.
A funkcionális élelmiszerek (friss és feldolgozott) hozzáadott értéket jelentenek a fogyasztók és a termelők részére egyaránt. A funkcionális élelmiszerek értékesítésének üteme a világban és az újonnan megjelenő piacokon – köztük Magyarországon – meghaladja az élelmiszerek értékesítésének átlagos növekedési ütemét, de még jelenleg is csak réspiacnak tekinthető. A fogyasztói magatartást a Black – Campbell (2006) által adaptált, funkcionális élelmiszerválasztási modell alapján elemeztük. A primer kutatásunk 1060 fős 15 év feletti országos reprezentatív mintára épült. Az adatbázist az eredeti változók alapján K-közép módszerrel klasztereztük. A hazai funkcionális élelmiszerfogyasztókat 5 szegmensbe soroltunk be, amelyeket összehasonlítottunk és jellemeztünk....

A Game Theoretic Approach to Analyse Cooperation between Rural Households in Northern Nigeria
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gerichhausen,   M.; Berkhout,   Ezra D.; Hamers,   H.J.M; Manyong,   Victor M.
To improve the livelihood of the poor in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) much attention has been paid to the development of new agricultural technologies. We hypothesize that farmers can also improve their livelihood through cooperation. Partial cooperation, in which knowledge is shared or bargaining power improved, is relatively common in SSA, while cooperation where all resources are fully shared, which we address, has rarely been investigated. An important pre-requisite to establish such cooperation, is the need for a fair division rule for the gains of the cooperation. This paper combines linear programming and cooperative game theory to model the effects of cooperation of (individual) households on income and farm plans. Linear programming establishes...

A HEDONIC PRICE FUNCTION FOR AUSTRALIAN PREMIUM TABLE WINE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Oczkowski,   Edward A.
A hedonic price function, relating the price of Australian wine to its attributes, is estimated. Six attribute groups are found to be statistically important in explaining deviations from average wine prices, i.e., quality, cellaring potential, grape variety/style, grape region, grape vintage and producer size. Various interaction terms between these variables and the impact of the year of marketing are also modelled. The consequent marketing implications for producers and consumers are discussed.

Autores: Schamel,   Guenter.
We develop a hedonic pricing model for German quality wine. Quality indicators for 4,141 wines are sensory awards received at the annual German wine competition and the legally required quality category as well as a set of control variables including regional origin, color, style, and their age at the time of judging. The data confirms that sensory quality awards have a significant and positive price impact. Moreover, we estimate significant relative differences between quality categories, growing regions and most of the control variables.

A világ májtermelésének növekedése azt jelzi, hogy e különleges termék fogyasztása iránti igény várhatóan hosszabb távon fennmarad. A termelés szerkezetében azonban átrendeződés várható az olcsóbb hízott kacsamáj javára. Ugyanakkor a libamáj a hízottmáj-termékcsoportban csúcsminőség marad. Magyarország, mivel Franciaország után a legnagyobb májtermelő ország, továbbra is mindkét termék előállításában érdekelt lesz. Hazánk már évtizedek óta a világ vezető libamájtermelő országa, de a jövőben új piaci versenytársak (pl. Kína) megjelenésére is számíthat a világ májkereskedelmében. Emellett más országok növekvő kacsamájtermelése is egyre nehezebbé teszi a magyarországi májtermékek külpiaci értékesítését. Mivel a jelenlegi gyakorlattól eltérő módon hízott májat...

A Limited Information Bayesian Forecasting Model of the Cattle SubSector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abidoye,   Babatunde O.; Lawrence,   John D.
The first step towards forecasting the price and output of the cattle industry is understanding the dynamics of the livestock production process. This study follows up on the Weimar and Stillman (1990) paper by using data from 1970 to 2005 to estimate the parameters that characterizes the cattle output supply. The model is then used to estimate forecast values for the periods 2006 and 2007. Bayesian limited information likelihood method is used to estimate the parameters when endogeneity exists between these variables. The forecasting ability of the model for a two-step ahead forecast for majority of the variables are relatively good and test statistic of the forecast are reported.

A magyar tejvertikum diagnózisa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jozsef; Potori,   Norbert; Papp,   Gergely.
Magyarország tejtermelése az EU-csatlakozást követően visszaesett. A többnyire alacsony átvételi árak és a szigorúbb minőségi követelmények miatt az elmúlt években sok tejtermelő kiszorult a piacról. A tej- és tejtermékek külkereskedelmében 2004 óta mind volumenben, mind értékben nettó importőri pozícióba kerültünk.  A tejkvóta-rendszer fokozatos kivezetése (a hazai kvóta kihasználtsága alig éri el a 85%-ot) a hazai tejágazatot közvetetten érintheti: a hatékonyabban ter¬melő tagállamok kerülhetnek előnybe a számunkra fontos olaszországi piacon, így értékesítési lehetőségeink szűkülhetnek, a hazai árakra még nagyobb nyomás nehezedhet.  Magyarországon a tejfeldolgozás koncentráltsága a vállalatok nagy száma ellenére viszonylag erős. A tejipar kettős prés...

A magyar zöldség- és gyümölcságazatok külkereskedelmi versenyképességének alakulása
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Medina,   Viktor.
A vizsgálatok eredményei alapján megállapítható, hogy a zöldség- és gyümölcságazatok versenyképesek, de a versenyképesség évről évre csökken. A versenyképesség romlása az uniós csatlakozással nem szűnt meg, sőt erősödött, ami részben az ágazat felkészületlenségének, részben a 2004. évi bő termésnek és a 2005. év kedvezőtlen időjárásának köszönhető. Kedvezőtlen eredmény az is, hogy a pozícióromlás legnagyobb mértékben a célpiacokon észlelhető. A termékköröket külön elemezve látható, hogy a versenyképességi mutatók a legkedvezőbbek a feldolgozott termékeknél. Ezt követik a friss zöldségek. A friss gyümölcsnél már nem is beszélhetünk versenyelőnyről. Ennek a magyarázatát elsősorban a jelentős mértékben megnőtt déligyümölcsimport adja. A kedvezőtlen...

A Market Experiment on Trade Promotion Budget and Allocation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gomez,   Miguel I.; Rao,   Vithala R.; Yuan,   Hong.
We design a market experiment to examine how firm size and ability to choose trade promotion types influence trade promotion budget, its allocation and channel profits. Our experimental results show that larger manufacturers offer smaller trade promotion budgets. Manufacturers with ability to influence the allocation decision favor scan-backs while retailers favor off-invoices. Trade promotion decisions affect profit sharing within the channel but not total channel profit. We validate these findings with an econometric analysis of survey data from supermarket executives. Overall, our results suggest that market experiments can shed light on trade promotion outcomes for which industry data are sparse.

Autores: Dillard,   John; Kmak,   Heather; Russ,   M.J.; Coale,   Charles W., Jr.; Bratsch,   Tony; Reaves,   Dixie Watts.
This research determines the profitability for farmers of marketing film-wrapped Crown-Cut broccoli in Southwest Virginia. Historical price data was collected in three eastern terminal markets (Atlanta, Baltimore, and Philadelphia) for Crown-Cut and bunched broccoli from October 1998 to January 2005. Cost-of-production budgets were estimated for Crown-Cut broccoli. The economic data was entered into a market window analysis and the profitability of each market was evaluated. The profitability of Crown-Cut broccoli was illustrated by market-window graphics. Market windows were generated using an analysis platform developed by Kalo (1998). The profitability estimates were calculated by posting historical market prices by week in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet...

A METHODOLOGICAL BASIS FOR THE EVALUATION OF MARKETING LOSSES OF FOODS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Silva,   Carlos Arthur Barbosa da.
The shortage of food for a substantial proportion of the world's population is a problem which has been challenging our society for a long time.  In the 1972-1974 period an estimated 1.3 billion people subsisted in less developed countries with dietary energy supplies under the minimum nutritional requirements, and the current outlook is for a widening gap between needs and food supplies.  Although progress has been made in production oriented research, such as the development of high yielding crop varieties and of better way to control pests and diseases, there is still a need for additional means to increase the world food supply.  The objectives of this paper are as follows: 1) to define the problems and its relevance for developing countries; 2) to...

A MODEL OF GRAIN STORAGE AND HEDGING BY FARMERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hildreth,   Clifford.
The model analyzed represents circumstances as faced by a grain farmer when his harvest is known and he is making storage and hedging decisions. The scope of the analysis is limited in several respects. A one-period model is employed; only a limited number of options are recognized; and interrelations between the grain enterprise and other economic activities of the decision maker are neglected.

A Model of Labeling with Horizontal Differentiation and Cost Variability
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Saak,   Alexander E.
We study optimal disclosure of variety by a multi-product firm with random costs.  In our model there are two varieties that are horizontally differentiated and differ in overall quality, but buyers cannot distinguish between them without labels.  The equilibrium prices for labeled varieties are increasing functions of the absolute value of the cost differential and do not reveal which variety is cheaper to produce.  Nondisclosure is most common when there is moderate uncertainty about the relative input cost, not too much idiosyncrasy in consumer valuations, and not too much difference in quality across varieties.  Although mandatory disclosure of variety benefits consumers, it decreases expected welfare when relative input cost variability is large and...

A MODEL OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR CREDENCE ATTRIBUTES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Noelke,   Corinna M.; Caswell,   Julie A.
We develop a model of the impact of food quality management systems (QMS) on competitiveness and markets.  QMS seek to control the quality of a product as determined by the array of individual attributes it possesses.  To date only a few studies have attempted to better understand the effect of the introduction of quality management systems.  No model has been introduced which captures the interactions within the supply chain and at the interface with consumers when these systems are introduced.

A Multilevel Economic Analysis of the Wheat Market in Pakistan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ashfaq,   Muhammad; Parton,   Kevin A.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.
Government price policy in Pakistan affects both the supply and demand of wheat. The wheat market has been established in a particular idiosyncratic manner in Pakistan, and a thorough appraisal of policy needs to take this into account. Hence, to analyse various policy interventions, this study develops a multi-level wheat market model. After considering the real world aspects of the wheat marketing chain, a conceptual framework is developed involving five market levels. This is then translated into a multi-equation econometric model. The model is based on secondary time series data from 1971 to 1996. It consists of equations representing supply, demand, stock holding, importing and price formation. The model is used to estimate changes in consumer...

Tanulmányunkban 1000 fős országos felmérés eredményei alapján azonosítottuk a hazai munkahelyi étkezés fogyasztói szegmenseit. Bebizonyítottuk, hogy a célcsoportok szocio-demográfiai ismérvek mellett az étkezési és élelmezési szokások, a munkahelyi étkezéshez való viszony szerint is eltéréseket mutatnak, amely igazolja, hogy ezen ismérvek befolyásolják az egyént abban, hogy milyen munkahelyi étkezési formát választ. Megállapítható, hogy a munkahelyi étkezés igénybevétele leginkább az időtudatos élelmiszer-fogyasztói magatartással függ össze, de megjelennek a kényelem, a termékminőség és a kiegészítő szolgáltatások iránti fogyasztói elvárások is. Az eredmények segítséget jelenthetnek a piacfejlesztési, piacbővítési lehetőségek definiálásában és a célpiaci...

A New Taxonomy of Thin Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Anderson,   John D.; Hudson,   Darren; Harri,   Ardian; Turner,   Steven C.
The traditional conception of a thin market based on transactions volume remains relevant in many agricultural markets but does not adequately frame emerging thin market issues.  As non-price means of pricing goods becomes more common, some cash commodity markets have become residual markets.  In some of these markets, not only the volume of transactions but also the representativeness of transactions to those on the related contract market is an important issue.  This paper develops a concept of thin markets that accounts for this dimension of market thinness and proposes a research agenda related to this topic.

Autores: McAdams,   Callie P.; Palma,   Marco A.; Ishdorj,   Ariun; Hall,   Charles R.
A preference and valuation mechanism that compared results of an experimental auction and nonhypothetical preference rankings was developed and used to elicit preferences for pomegranate products from a representative sample of shoppers in Texas.  Familiarity with pomegranate products increased willingness-to-pay (WTP) for pomegranates, as did tasting and providing additional information on the health benefits of the products.  Ready-to-eat and juice products were preferred to whole fruit products.  Subjects did not indicate an increased WTP for Texas varieties over California Wonderful pomegranate based on auction bids but indicated a preference for one Texas variety in the nonhypothetical ranking procedure; thus, the auction results and nonhypothetical...

A NONPARAMETRIC TEST OF ADVERTISING'S EFFECTIVENESS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chalfant,   James A.; Eshel,   Dafna M. Disegni.
Nonparametric demand analysis uses axioms of revealed preference to test a data set for compatibility with the hypothesis of stable preferences.  Previous applications have tested for the presence of structural change using this approach.  This paper shows how to include demand shifters such as advertising in the analysis.  It is shown that the implied results for changes in tastes depend on restrictions on advertising's effects.

A NORMATIVE APPROACH TO THE OPERATION OF THE NEW SOUTH WALES MILK BOARD
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Harris,   Tom; Candler,   Wilfred V.
The New South Wa1es Milk Board was brought into being in 1929, as a result of producer action, to bring order into a highly disorganised market situation. The retailing of milk had been extremely competitive, milk supply and hence milk price had been erratic and hygiene had been a matter of caveat emptor. (1) The Board was without effective powers until the Milk Act, 1931, after which prices were stabilised, inspection of dairies was introduced and in general reasonable standards of hygiene were established.  Initially whole milk quotas were allocated to factories. However, in the early 1950's it was found that despite a marked expansion of the milk zone, and despite a marked increase in price, the factory quota system still failed to produce sufficient...

A NOTE ON BIAS IN THE ESTIMATED EFFECTS OF BEEF IMPORTS ON U.S. MEAT PRICES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ryan,   Timothy J.
The impact of beef imports on United States meat prices is a highly emotional and controversial issue. Congressmen representing urban districts, and to a lesser extent the Administration, look towards beef imports as a way of containing rapid increases in meat prices. Congressmen and Senators from beef-producing States regard beef imports as a direct attack on the U.S. beef-producing industry.  These differing views are being reconciled through Congress considering amendments to the Meat Import Law (Public Law 88-482). The impacts and the amendments are of vital interest to Australia because about 25 per cent of Australia's beef production is sold on the lucrative U.S. market.  In this note it is argued that, in general, the reported impacts on U.S. meat...

A Note on the Attitudes of Retailers to Beef Carcass Classification
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   T.D.; Wissemann,   A.F.
The benefits of an objective method of describing beef carcasses are being investigated through trials at several Australian abattoirs. This paper reports the results of an attitudinal study carried out with the beef retailers who trade with one of these abattoirs. Most retailers surveyed were receptive to the idea of an objective classification system and felt that it would be useful to them in carcass trading. However, other findings raised doubts about the ability of the system being trialed to meet their requirements. The results had a number of implications for the planning of specific aspects of this classification trial.

A Practical Guide to Market Assessment
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Taylor,   Roy Justin; Sterns,   James A.
The authors address the fundamental question, "How does one analyze the potential of a given product for a given market?" A review of the literature suggests that numerous authors have proposed a relatively consistent set of questions that need to be addressed, information sought and key issues to consider when conducting market assessments.  The goal of this paper is to review this literature and assemble a set of references that provide insights on how to analyze the market potential of agricultural and food products. This process is of growing importance as U.S. agricultural producers and processors seek to market differentiated products, seek out direct marketing opportunities and focus on meeting consumer preferences for food product attributes.

Autores: Castellini,   Alessandra; Ragazzoni,   Alessandro; Valentini,   T.
This paper aims to supply a comprehensive account of a particular sector of the fisheries industry.  TH increase of demand for fish products has involved an uncontrolled exploitation of marine reserves and fishing has reached its threshold of biological sustainability.  For these reasons, aquaculture has grown in a corresponding manner in the recent past.  The present survey starts from these considerations and aims to describe the general situation of world-wide, European and Italian aquaculture and then to examine the farming and marketing of a particular kind of product, Penaeus spp., which significantly affects global production in terms of value but not of quantity.

A Reality Check on Technical Trading Rule Profits in US Futures Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Park,   Cheol-Ho; Irwin,   Scott H.
This paper investigates the profitability of technical trading rules in US futures markets over the 1985-2004 period.  To account for data snooping biases, we evaluate statistical significance of performance across technical trading rules using White's Bootstrap Reality Check test and Hansen's Superior Predictive Ability test.  These methods directly quantify the effect of data snooping by testing the performance of the best rule in the context of the full universe of technical trading rules.  Results show that the best rules generate statistically significant economic profits only for two of 17 futures contracts traded in the US.  This evidence indicates that technical trading rules generally have not been profitable in US futures markets after correcting...

A REGIONAL COMPARISON OF RISK-EFFICIENT SOYBEAN MARKETING STRATEGIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McKinnell,   Cathy S.; Kahl,   Kandice H.; Curtis,   Charles E., Jr.
Risk-efficient portfolios from a subset of marketing strategies were identified using Target-MOTAD. Portfolios were generated for Illinois, Arkansas, and South Carolina to determine whether regional price and yield characteristics affected the optimal marketing strategy selection during 1972-1985. The results support previous conclusions that the risk borne when following a combination of marketing strategies was less than the risk of any single marketing strategy examined. The results also show that the marketing strategies representing efficient risk-return combinations for a producer in one region were different from the efficient risk-return combinations for a producer in another region. Therefore, generic marketing advice would have produced results...

A RETAIL EVALUATION OF PROMOTIONAL TACTICS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Park,   John L.; German,   Gene A.
In an effort to ease communication between packaged goods manufacturers and retailers, this study investigates food retailers'’ preferences concerning the various promotional programs used in their stores. Through the use of a mail survey, retail executives from supermarket companies shared their perceptions of 22 specific promotional programs regarding each program'’s use, effectiveness, and attractiveness for future support. According to retailers, clear and consistent promotional performers include targeted direct mail, shipper displays, in-store coupons, in-ad coupons, and in-store demos and sampling. It is noted, however, that the use and perceived effectiveness of these programs may not always seem consistent. For example, retailers felt that...

A Review of Causes for and Consequences of Economic Concentration in the U.S. Meatpacking Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.
Clear and continuing changes in the structure of the U.S. meatpacking industry have significantly increased economic concentration since the mid-1970s. Concentration levels are among the highest of any industry in the United States, and well above levels generally considered to elicit non-competitive behavior and result in adverse economic performance, thereby triggering antitrust investigations and subsequent regulatory actions. Many agricultural economists and others deem this development paradoxical. While several civil antitrust lawsuits have been filed against the largest meatpacking firms, there have been no major antitrust decisions against those firms and there have been no significant federal government antitrust cases brought against the largest...

A REVIEW OF PRICE DATA IN THE MICHIGAN APPLE MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Christy,   Ralph D.
The quality of agricultural price data has been a growing concern of producers, researchers, and government officials in recent years.  The major work done on improving agricultural price data has, of course, taken place within the United States Department of Agriculture.  These efforts have not only led to the identification of key problems and issues in price reporting but have also resulted in a deeper investigation into our data and information systems.   While an information system theory as such has not been developed, significant contributions have been made in terms of insights gained into the issues, the definitions and the epistemological nature of data systems and information systems.  This study will be done in the context of these insights...

A Revised Approach to Marketing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Phillips,   John.
This paper is primarily a plea for a reorientation of marketing research. It is demonstrated that the current concept of marketing is unsatisfactory from an analytical point of view and a reformulation in terms of information is put forward. Information-getting is shown to be a vital aspect of economic activity and one to which a considerable proportion of total resources must be devoted. It is maintained that marketing research should be directed towards this aspect. As a first step in this direction, a partial equilibrium model of information resource use is delineated. Finally, some specific implications of this approach for research are presented.

Cluster analysis was used to conduct a segmentation analysis of U.S. supermarket shoppers.  This study is based on the responses of a sample of 1,000 shoppers concerning the importance of 21 store characteristics in selecting their primary grocery store for the Food Marketing Institute's 2000 consumer trends survey.  Stores must satisfy the attributes important to all consumers in order to be successful.  In order of importance, the four top characteristics are a clean/neat store, high quality produce, high quality meats and courteous, friendly employees.  The three key supermarket shopper segments identified are time-pressed convenience seekers, sophisticates, and middle Americans.  In order to cater to a particular consumer niche, a store must better...

A SIMULATED STUDY OF AN AUCTION MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Whan,   R.B.; Richardson,   Robert A.
A simulated model of an auction market is developed showing the relationship between the variation in valuations, the price variation and the number of independent bidders in the market. Average prices paid in a market with two or three bidders are less than average valuations. Average prices are progressively greater than average valuations as the number of bidders increases beyond four. Some applications of this model in the Australian wool market are discussed.

Autores: Jones,   Eugene; Batte,   Marvin T.; Schnitkey,   Gary D.
Farm producers attempt to mitigate risk and uncertainty by utilizing accurate and reliable information. This research attempts to identify sources of information used by Ohio fruit producers and then determine which of these sources are best meeting their information needs. Results are based on a logit analysis of Ohio fruit producers and several factors are shown to influence producers' evaluation of the "adequacy" of their marketing information. Among these factors are age, business size, education, type of enterprise, and types of information sources. Reported findings have implications for marketing efficiency, particularly if producers' evaluation of information as adequate is positively related to its efficient use.

A STATISTICAL MODEL OF THE PRIMARY AND DERIVED MARKET LEVELS IN THE U.S. BEEF INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brester,   Gary W.; Marsh,   John M.
An annual dynamic model of the primary and derived levels of the U.S. beef industry was estimated by rational distributed lags.  Geometric rational lags at the retail level were instrumental in establishing prices in the dressed meat trade and the slaughter and feeder levels.  Polynomial rational lags characterized primary inventory supply, which, along with cattle and corn prices, determined the production of fed and nonfed beef.  The results suggest that the short- and long-term market behavior in the beef industry is better understood when higher and lower order market interactions are taken into account.

A Structural Model of the World Wool Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Layman,   B.D.
This paper summarises the development, structure and data sources of the Western Australian World Wool Model. The model is a comparative static, partial equilibrium model of the world wool market. The technique used for the model is applied general equilibrium (AGE) modelling. Western Australia is separated from the rest of Australia as a production region. A key feature of the model is that raw wool is broken down into 9 different qualities, which determine the end use of the wool. The construction of a database containing these wool qualities is detailed. Potential uses for the model are outlined, and results are compared and contrasted with earlier structural models of the world wool market. Finally, advantages and disadvantages of the approach taken...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Girado,   Luis Martin.
Argentina has a long tradition as a beef producer country.  Cattle in particular, have played a major role in the traditional environment as a source of food, employment and savings.   Many of the typical symbols of this country are found within an environment of ranches, cowboys, horses and cattle, called in Spanish:  Estancias Gauchos, Caballos and Ganado.  The cattle sector not only represents a source of food, employment and savings to many people in Argentina, but is also a social symbol which the Argentines are proud of and identify with. Cattle can be sold at the ranch or at any city market.  The selling and buying operations are performed through open auctions.  If the animal is sold for fattening, the price is set per head.

The role that information technology plays in today’s business activities has led to an  increase in firms using and/or deploying e-markets online. This development undoubtedly affects the agri-food sector, since a large number of agricultural firms are demonstrating or are expected to demonstrate e-commerce activities. This paper aims to provide an overview of the current status of agricultural e-markets in Greece, by presenting results from an analysis of 100 cases. Results indicate that Greek e-markets may  still have a rather low degree of sophistication, but they demonstrate a strong B2B orientation, as well as an outreach for international customer bases.

This paper is the second of a two-part survey on noncooperative game theory relevant to agricultural markets. Part 1 of the survey focused on important game theory concepts, while this paper illustrates applications of the theory to agricultural markets. Game theory is relevant when markets are imperfectly competitive, and this paper argues that this condition is commonly met in agriculture. Specific topics of application include principal-agent models, auctions, and bargaining.

A TARGET MOTAD ANALYSIS OF SWEET POTATO MARKETING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bauer,   Larry L.
Decisions regarding when to harvest and when to sell sweet potatoes are more complex than for other crops because yields continue to increase after the crop is initially ready for harvest, and sweet potatoes can either be sold at harvest or cured and stored for later sale. The optimum marketing decision, based on expected net revenue, is dependent on yield and prices and their variability, and on costs of storage. A marketing strategy is developed using Target MOTAD and data covering 21 years.

A THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL APPROACH TO THE VALUE OF INFORMATION IN RISKY MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Antonovitz,   Frances; Roe,   Terry L.
The theory of the competitive firm under price uncertainty is used to develop a money metric of a producer's willingness to pay for additional information. This concept is extended to the market by formulating ex-ante and ex-post measures of the value of a rational expectations forecast. The empirical feasibility of these measures are demonstrated by application to a simple two equation model of an agricultural market.

A THEORETICAL DISCUSSION OF THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF BUFFER STOCKS AND BUFFER FUNDS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Simmons,   Phil.
It has been established that the absence of risk markets justifies market intervention in principle. The form of intervention that has been discussed most widely in the literature is the buffer stock. This paper points out that other forms of intervention, specifically buffer funds, are likely to perform better. The analysis shows that buffer funds are likely to outperform buffer stocks because they address market failure more directly. A sub-theme developed in this paper is that since buffer funds are enforced saving, it follows that policies that address capital market failure are likely to dominate buffer funds and buffer stocks in welfare terms.

Autores: Thraen,   Cameron S.
What are the general ideas behind a futures contract price and the concept of the Basis calculation? The Class 3 milk futures contract traded at the Chicago Mercantile present opportunities for you to forward price your milk if your milk is pooled in a multiple component market such as Federal Order #33. The use of a Class 3 or Class 4 milk contract allows a producer to forward price the butterfat, protein and other solids components of his milk production in multiple-component pricing federal orders or to forward price butterfat and skim in fat/skim federal order markets. Using the futures instruments to protect against uncertain market prices is a new revenue management tool for the dairy industry. Likewise, the use of a Class 3 or Class 4 contract...

In the present study we combine cluster theory with a value chain approach, with the aim of discovering elements of the European fresh vegetable business that could enable local producers to gain competitive advantages in a global market.  European producers of fresh vegetables are under pressure to improve their performance and increase their competitiveness. Competitive advantage can be gained through innovation and by using unique resources stemming from cooperation between producers and complementary actors in local clusters. However, locally clustered producers do not sell to open markets but need access to value chains governed by lead firms, the large European retail chains, which set the rules and conditions of participation.

Tokaj Wine Specialities have few competitors and enjoy a rare niche among natural dessert wines since traditions surrounding their preparation, their specific microclimate, and unique taste enable one to utilise marketing tools for branding and market placement. To elaborate the marketing strategy, one needs market information that adequately shows the current situation and trends. During my research, I carried out segmentation for Tokaj Wine Specialities consumers and illustrated the correlations with statistical methods. My research covered the North-Alföld Region and Budapest. I performed a reliability test on the research databases and demonstrated that the areal data set can be integrated. My hypotheses findings also constitute new research.

Access to Dynamic Markets for Small Commercial Farmers: The Case of Potato Production in the Peruvian Andes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Escobal D'Angelo,   Javier; Torero,   Maximo.
The purpose of this study is twofold. On one hand, the objective is to assess the impact of new and more complex contracting schemes, as opposed to traditional marketing channels, on small farmers’ welfare. On the other hand, the study explores which may be the critical factors that determine the small farmers’ participation in these institutional arrangements. In this context, two critical factors are stressed. The first one has to do with access to credit and the second one is the size of the agricultural plot. In order to examine the decision of farmers to access the dynamic markets, the paper follows the study of Lapar et al (2003). The paper also follows impact evaluation techniques to identify the differences in the performance of farmers with access...

Access to Dynamic Markets for Small Commercial Farmers: The Case of Potato Production in the Peruvian Andes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Escobal D'Angelo,   Javier; Torero,   Maximo.
The study has evaluated which are the most relevant factors that determine that a small farmer switch marketing channels in order to enter into a "dynamic" market; that is, into a market signed by more complex contractual relationships that can absorb increasing amounts of its output. The results show that there are a number of producers that currently are not selling to those markets but they may well do so. Restrictions associated to the degree of organization of the producers, their perception of risk and credit market restrictions may prevent these farmers to gain access to the additional benefits that these new market opportunities have to offer.

Autores: Chowdhury,   Shyamal K.
This paper assesses the impact of access to information on farm household's factor market participation. The paper tries to answer two questions. First, does use of telephone have any impact on farm household's factor market participation decision? Second, correcting for market participation, does use of telephone have any impact on the type of factor adjustment decision? For the first question, the paper uses a bivariate probit to correct for omitted variable bias and for the second question, the paper uses a two stage probit. Empirical findings of this paper suggest that access to information in the form of use of telephone has significant positive impact on factor market participation. The difference in market participation between telephone users and...

Autores: Fuller,   Frank H.; Beghin,   John C.; Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Mohanty,   Samarendu; Fang,   Cheng; Kaus,   Phillip J.
Using a world agricultural multimarket model, we analyze the consequences of enlargement of the European Union (EU) to include the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland for agricultural markets. We produce a market outlook through the year 2010 for two enlargement scenarios, which are based on different assumptions regarding the restrictions on grain and dairy production in the acceding countries. In both scenarios, accession of the three Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) leads to a permanent but moderate decrease in EU prices for virtually all commodities. For the three acceding CEECs, domestic prices increase dramatically. Their final consumption of agricultural products decreases in most instances, while production rises. Higher domestic...

Autores: Kovanda,   Joseph T.; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Wheeler,   Tommy L.
Grid pricing is one of the beef industry's answers to improving value coordination in fed cattle transactions. This paper constructs individual carcass-level grid and wholesale beef values. These values are used to evaluate the level of value communication that occurs between wholesale and grid values of beef. Furthermore, the values are used to estimate grid premiums/discounts that improve value communication. Results indicate that value coordination could be improved by modifying grid premiums/discounts.

Implied volatility is a useful bit of information for futures and options hedgers and speculators.  However, extraction of implied volatility from Black-Scholes (BS) option pricing model requires a numeric search.  Since 1988, there have been numerous simplifying modifications to the BS formula proposed and presented in the applied economics and finance literature to allow approximation of implied volatility directly.  This study identifies and tests these simplification methods for accuracy for call only and put-call average elicitation of an implied volatility estimate.  Results show that accuracy varies by method and whether call only or put-call average approaches are applied.

ACTUAL FARMER MARKET TIMING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Anderson,   Kim B.
One maxim that has been circulating among farmers is that most farmers sell in the lower third of the market. This maxim is soundly rejected using data from Oklahoma elevators. In fact, roughly half of producers sell in the upper third of the market. Thus, there does not seem to be a great need for producers to hire a market advisor to do their marketing for them. But, some farmers do store longer than is optimal and they could be encouraged to sell sooner after harvest. In the short run, farmers sold after price increases and held after price decreases. Price movements in the days after a large number of sales were no different than price movements after few sales. While farmers are noise traders in the short run, it does appear that they are responding...

Autores: Rimal,   Arbindra; Fletcher,   Stanley M.; McWatters,   Kay H.
A bivariate probit model was used to examine the relationship between actual and intended purchase of irradiated beef.  The likelihood ratio test rejected the equality of parameters affecting actual and intended purchase decisions.  Actual purchases were affected by package labels and appearance, while purchase intentions were affected by attitude and demographics.

Adoption Behavior in Food Retailers' Decision to Offer Fresh Irradiated Ground Beef
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jaenicke,   Edward C.; Harrison,   R. Wes; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Jakus,   Paul M.
During the 14-month period from May 2002 to June 2003, approximately 10 percent of U.S. supermarkets began to offer fresh irradiated ground beef under the stores' own labels. Using a survey of supermarket store managers from this time period, this paper investigates the factors that influenced stores' adoption of irradiated ground beef. Results from the adoption model show that factors associated with competition, merchandising philosophy, and structure in the food retailing industry play a strong role in the decision. Among other results, we find that variables relating to a competitor's adoption status and proximity can increase the likelihood of a store's adoption decision.

Autores: Henderson,   Jason R.; Dooley,   Frank J.; Akridge,   Jay T.
This paper analyzes the factors guiding Internet and e-commerce implementation by agribusiness firms.  The relationship between Internet/e-commerce strategies and manager perceptions on the barriers and factors to e-commerce adoption are analyzed in a supply-chain management framework.  Using factor analysis and an ordered Probit model, results indicate that the implementation of Internet/e-commerce strategies is more likely to be adopted in larger firms with a global scope.  Also, manager perceptions regarding supply-chain functions influencing transaction costs are more strongly associated with Internet/e-commerce adoption than other functions influencing production costs.

Autores: Baer,   Alexander G.; Brown,   Cheryl.
Many farms have begun operating websites in order to promote their businesses. This study uses data from a 2005 survey of farms in the northeastern United States to identify characteristics of farmers, farms, and farm businesses associated with website adoption. Following a technology-adoption framework, a probit model of website use is estimated to identify significant relationships. Sales location, product type, number of advertising methods used, high-speed Internet connection, land tenure arrangement, and gross farm sales is found to be significantly related to website adoption.

Advertising and Australian Pig Producers Welfare
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhang,   Lin; Goddard,   Ellen W.
The pig meat market in Australia is characterized by generic (fresh pork, bacon etc.) advertising. These advertising expenditures are funded from collective levies from pig producers. At the same time, there are extensive brand advertising activities in the pig market. Impact of advertising on pig meat consumption has been a long-standing argument. So far, there have been several studies done on the effectiveness of generic pork advertising in Australia up to 1988. However, the previous studies only looked at generic advertising and didn’t account for other media information as brand advertising and fast food advertising effects on pork consumption. As well, the previous studies are contradictory about the effects of generic pork advertising.  In this...

Advertising and Promotion Investment: What Is the Right Level?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Forker,   Olan D.
Agricultural economists in both the United States and Canada have been trying to answer this complicated question for over 12 years. Although there is no simple answer t researchers generally agree that the "right level" of advertising investment is a function of the promotion program's objective. The actual level of advertising investment in 1987 totaled $490 million in 22 dairyproducing countries. The United States t Canada t Australia t and the United Kingdom have similar levels of promotion investment per unit of milk production ($0.12 to $0.17 per hundredweight). A review of economic studies "indicates commodity advertising investment in the U.S. is probably less than optimum at its current level of around $145 million.

Advertising and Retail Promotion of Washington Apples: A Structural Latent Variable Approach to Promotion Evaluation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Gao,   Xiaoming; Patterson,   Paul M.
"Commodity promotion" consists of many activities, each designed to contribute to a consumer's product knowledge or influence tastes. However, both knowledge and tastes are unobservable, or latent, variables influencing demand. This paper specifies a dynamic structural model of fresh fruit demand that treats promotion and other socioeconomic variables as "causal" variables influencing these latent variables. Estimating this state-space model using a Kalman filter approach provides estimates of both the system parameters and a latent variable series. The results show that these latent effects contribute positively to apple and other fruit consumption, while reducing banana consumption.

Autores: Marette,   Stephan; Zago,   Angelo M.
In this paper we consider the role for collective action in advertising investments needed to compete on foreign markets and/or to enter into new markets.  We model the choices facing producers in regions where both AO (high quality) and table (low quality) wines are produced.  By joining forces with producers of other regions to invest in advertising, producers may penetrate into new markets.  We show that it is profitable to enter into the new markets when, other things being equal, the size of the new market is relatively big, when the traditional market is relatively small, and when the size of the fixed investment in advertising is relatively small.  We discuss the policy implications of the results, examining possible modifications of the AO system...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Xiao,   Hui; Kinnucan,   Henry W.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
The dominant trend in U.S. non-alcoholic consumption over the past two decades has been a steady increase in soft-drink consumption, largely at the expense of milk and coffee and tea consumption.  Our analysis suggests that the primary factors affecting this is that the price, advertising, and demographic elasticities estimated from the Rotterdam model are much smaller than the adjusted trend coefficients and the expenditure elasticities.

The dominant pattern in U.S. non-alcoholic drink: consumption over the past 25 years has been a steady increase in per capita soft-drink: consumption, largely at the expense of coffee (and to a lesser extent) milk consumption. Our findings suggest that the major factor governing this pattern is structural change. Specifically, trend was found to be statistically significant in three of the four equations estimated in the Rotterdam system. Moreover, the estimated trend-related changes in per capita consumption (-1.0 percent per year for milk, 2. 1 percent for soft drinks, and 3.7 percent for coffee and tea) leave at most 28 percent ofthe observed quantity variation for 1990-1994 to be accounted for by changes in relative prices, income, and advertising....

ADVERTISING TRADED GOODS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.
Nerlove and Waugh's theory of cooperative (generic) advertising is extended to include tax shifting, cost sharing, and trade.  Comparative-static analysis indicates that trade reduces the incentive to promote in the domestic market, and this is true whether the industry inquestion is a net exporter or a net importer.  The theory is applied to California egg advertising to demonstrate utility and to highlight the importance of including trade relationships in advertising benefit-cost studies.

ADVERTISING TRADED GOODS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.
Nerlove and Waugh’'s theory of cooperative (generic) advertising is extended to the case of traded goods. Results suggest that trade reduces the incentive to promote by enlarging the effective supply or demand elasticity facing the industry. This is especially true in the net exporter situation where the enlarged demand elasticity (relative to the autarky case) limits the ability to shift advertising costs onto consumers.  Simulations of the model using data and parameter values for the California egg industry suggest that ignoring trade prejudices benefit-cost ratios in favor of the promotion program. The upward bias, moreover, is significant even when the trade share is modest.

The dual class shareholding company has been adopted as a way of managing the single desk operating system for wheat in Australia.

Using principal-agent theory, the current marketing arrangements are examined. Considering both groups of shareholders as principals of one agent, this paper has focused on examining the contracts between the agent and each principal, and the incentives provided by these contracts to the agent to act in the interests of each of the shareholder groups.

Agricultural and Food Security Policy Analysis in Central America: Assessing Local Institutional Capacity, Data Availability, and Outcomes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tschirley,   David L.; Flores,   Luis; Mather,   David.
Performance of the agricultural sector in developing countries is fundamental to ensuring robust and equitable economic growth and broad-based food security. Yet donor support to agricultural development in developing countries has declined continuously for 30 years. This same period saw dramatic deterioration in developing countries’ institutional capacity to provide services to their agricultural sectors. These trends may now be changing, due in part to the global food price crisis of 2007 and 2008 and concerns that it unleashed about the world’s ability to feed its poorest inhabitants.

Autores: MacDonald,   James M.; Korb,   Penelope J.
More than half of all transactions for U.S. agricultural products are still conducted through spot market exchanges, in which commodities are bought and sold in open market transactions for immediate delivery. But a growing share of U.S. farm production is produced and sold under agricultural contracts. Such contracts between farmers and their buyers are reached prior to harvest (or before the completion stage for livestock) and govern the terms under which products are transferred from the farm. The shift of production to contracting coincides with shifts of production to larger farms. Contracts are far more likely to be used on large farms than on small ones. Marketing and production contracts covered 41 percent of the value of U.S. agricultural...

Marketing and production contracts covered 39 percent of the value of U.S. agricultural production in 2003, up from 36 percent in 2001 and a substantial increase over estimated values of 28 percent for 1991 and 11 percent in 1969. Large farms are far more likely to contract than small farms; in fact, contracts cover over half of the value of production from farms with at least $1 million in sales. Although use of both production and marketing contracts has grown over time, growth is more rapid for production contracts, which are largely used for livestock.

The increasing use of agricultural contracts and processor concentration raises concerns that processors may offer lower contract prices in absence of local competition. This study examines the price competitiveness of marketing and production contracts depending on the availability of alternative marketing options. A propensity score matching method is used to compare prices using contract data from a farm-level national survey. The results show that the absence of other contractors or spot markets in producers’ areas does not lead to statistically significant price differences in agricultural contracts for most commodities, providing evidence that most agricultural processors do not exercise market power by reducing prices when other local buyers are not...

Growers and community leaders have expressed interest in establishing a horticultural shipping-point market in Southwest Virginia.  This paper reports on a study that assessed whether horticultural production would be profitable in the region and, if so, the physical and organizational requirements for a successful shipping-point market.  It appears that tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins can be produced and marketed profitably to large-volume wholesale buyers if growers meet the exacting requirements of the retailers.  A cooperative association is the organizational structure with the greatest chance of success.  At the conclusion of this study, a shipping-point market in the recommended form was established in Southwest Virginia.

Support for the cooperative yardstick hypothesis was found using a standard structure-performance model that was extended to include a cooperative market share variable and was estimated with a large cross-section of food manufacturing markets. Market concentration and advertising intensity were positively related to price-cost margins. In addition, the aggregate market share of the one hundred largest agricultural marketing cooperatives was inversely related to price-cost margins. The magnitude of the effect was largest in the more concentrated markets. This suggests that. where cooperatives have vertically extended themselves into food processing. more competitive outcomes are found even in highly concentrated markets.

The long-term reduction of hunger and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa remains one of the great challenges for the International development community. Poverty in Africa is predominately rural, majority of the poor people live in rural areas and are dependent on food production through farming or livestock keeping for most of their livelihood. It is estimated that over two hundred million people in Sub-Saharan Africa live in extreme poverty and among these are the rural poor in Eastern and Southern Africa where the worlds highest concentration of poor people are found. Given Agriculture’s central role in the region’s economies, can agriculture play a major role in poverty alleviation? How can Africa’s role in poverty reduction be enhanced? What could be done...

The objective of this paper is to derive lessons from selected literature concerning the impact and the conditions of successful agricultural input market reform. The agricultural inputs of interest in this review are: fertilizers, seeds, agricultural equipment, pesticides, and livestock services and health inputs. The paper examines the rationale for market reform, its impact on growth, productivity, and income of farmers, and the conditions for success. Six main conclusions emerge from this review. First, market structures are the result of evolutionary processes that accompany the adoption and the diffusion of modern technology in agriculture. Second, the development of markets and private sector cannot occur unless an adequate infrastructure is in...

This paper systematically analyses these above-mentioned factors. Special attention is paid to the WTO-connections. It has to be underlined that the system of Agreement of Agriculture, the “modalities” laying the basis for the commitments have not properly taken the unique situation of the transitory economies...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Demeke,   Mulat; Kelly,   Valerie A.; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Said,   Ali; Le Vallee,   Jean-Charles; Chen,   H.
This paper examines how the fertilizer sector in general, and farmers’ demand for  fertilizer in particular, has evolved since the introduction of fertilizer sector reforms in  Ethiopia. There is much debate in the agricultural development literature about whether fertilizer  use in Africa is constrained primarily by poor input distribution systems, by farmers’ lack of  knowledge concerning the benefits and correct use of fertilizer, or by lack of effective demand  because the product is simply not profitable enough. This paper looks at each of these issues in  an effort to understand the relative importance of the different constraints and how well current  policies are addressing the problems. It attempts to identify additional policy measures needed  to...

Agricultural Market Structure, Generic Advertising, and Welfare
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cardon,   James H.; Pope,   Rulon D.
This analysis begins with a definition and discussion of productive advertising. Then, following Dixit and Norman, persuasive advertising is used to study the welfare effects of generic advertising by marketing orders. The study first examines horizontal competition when the competing advertiser is a monopoly, and results show that the socially optimal level of advertising for a competitive marketing order is positive only if advertising raises monopoly output. Next, advertising choices of a marketing order which sells its output to a monopolistic distributor are considered. If the distributor is a monopolist, then marketing order advertising raises welfare. This finding is in marked contrast to the results for the horizontal case studied by Dixit and...

Agricultural Marketing and Agribusiness Supply Chain Issues in Developing Economies:  The Case of Fresh Produce in Papua New Guinea
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Martin,   Sandra; Jagadish,   Ayyamani.
Large quantities of fresh produce can be grown in the Highlands provinces of Papua New Guinea, and this produce is then marketed to a range of markets, including the coastal cities of Port Moresby and Lae. However, it is often argued that the marketing system performs poorly, and various reasons for this are cited. In this paper, the results of a study on the marketing of smallholder produce originating in the Highlands provinces and destined for a range of markets, including the coastal cities, are presented. A defensible supply chain framework is used to evaluate a range of marketing issues and to evaluate the performance of the marketing system. The results of the study are refreshingly positive. It was found that the marketing system was remarkably...

AGRICULTURAL MARKETING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:  AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO LATIN AMERICA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carvajalino-Arevalo,   Mario.
This annotated bibliography on agricultural marketing and economic development has been compiled with two objectives in mind.  First, to contribute to the understanding of the role that agricultural marketing can play in the process of developing countries.  As the reader will see many authors agree that marketing is "the most backward of all areas of economic life".  There are several explanations for this particular situation.  Because of socio-political reasons, people in planning roles prefer to allocate resources to the production of physical goods and not of services, which is what marketing mainly provides.  Others believe that an adequate marketing system will spring up automatically with the progress of the country in the road of development.  In...

Agricultural Marketing Cooperatives, Allocative Efficiency, and Corporate Taxation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Royer,   Jeffrey S.
The criterion for allocative efficiency is derived for a market system consisting of producers, a processor, and consumers and compared to the solution conditions for cooperative and profit-maximizing processors. A cooperative that maximizes total member returns will restrict output to less than the social optimum unless it is a price taker in the processed product market. A cooperative that processes whatever quantity of raw product members choose to deliver will overproduce relative to the social optimum unless marginal and average processing costs are equal. An income tax can be used to move a cooperative that restricts output toward the social optimum.

AGRICULTURAL MARKETING IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT:  A GUIDE FOR THE MARKETING PRACTITIONER INVOLVED IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ooijen,   Rudy.
The main objective of this paper is to develop a general framework for rural development in which marketing will play a major role.  This framework could make the "learning by doing" process more efficient and effective.  Specific goals of this paper are to provide the reader with: (1) a better overall understanding of the rural development and marketing development process, (2) an analysis of approaches used by rural development projects in their effort to improve rural marketing, and (3) a systematic approach to rural marketing development. The focus will be on the semi-subsistence and subsistence farmers, who provide a major share of total production and marketed surplus in most developing countries.  The importance of the development of the...

Agricultural markets in Benin and Malawi
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fafchamps,   Marcel; Gabre-Madhin,   Eleni Z.
Based on original trader surveys, this paper examines how agricultural traders operate in Benin and Malawi. Results indicate that the largest transaction costs are search and transport. The use of modern technology is limited. Search methods rely principally on personal visits by the trader, and quality control requires the presence of the trader at the time of purchase. This increases costs, as the trader has to travel a lot, and makes it difficult for trading enterprises to grow. Since enterprises remain very small, personal transport and search time represent a non-negligible share of marketing costs.

In principle, the Group regards long-run market forces as the best guide to resource allocation, not only within existing production units, but also between sectors. However, in practice they perceive many instances of market failure in the rural sector which justify government intervention either on efficiency grounds or on equity grounds. They aggregate these intervention/assistance measures into sets and devote a chapter to each set. The new, novel and controversial aspects of assistance are highlighted in these comments. The Group discussed price support and underwriting schemes, input subsidies and related issues, natural disaster relief, income tax averaging, product promotion and export inspection services in Chapter 5 and research, extension and...

Agricultural Price Seasonality and Market Failure: Examining the Net Seller Household and the Net Benefit Ratio Definition
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vergez,   Antonin.
On the basis of a household typology distinguishing between net sellers, net buyers and self sufficient, the Net Benefit Ratio (NBR), defined by Deaton (1989), is used to approximate households' first order welfare variations when price change. In this paper, we discuss both the typology's criteria and the classic formula of NBR, since they are based a) on produced and consumed quantities rather than real marketed volumes and b) on a unique selling and buying price for all surveyed households. We propose another definition of a net seller and a new NBR expression allowing the analyst to take into account market failures (MF) and price seasonality (PS), which are two constancies in developing countries. We use two sets of data (from Mexico and Mali), to...

Agricultural Trade Flows among Developing Countries: Do Regional Preferential Trade Agreements make a Difference?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tembo,   Gelson; Jayne,   Thomas S.
Regional integration through trade is recognized as one way to foster economic growth and poverty reduction. This paper uses the gravity model and 11-year panel data (1996-2006) on Southern African Development Community (SADC) member countries to study Zambia’s regional agricultural trade flows and the impact of the SADC Trade Protocol (SADC-TP). Zambia’s volume of trade is significantly related to most of the standard gravity variables. The results indicate that Zambia has been largely trading below potential, especially with respect to exports. There have been improvements in Zambia’s trade flows during the SADC-TP period but only with a few countries. Further improvements will require re-examining protocol implementation and individual countries’...

Autores: van Melle,   Cathelijne; Coulibaly,   Ousmane; Hell,   Kerstin.
Globalization and competitiveness of agricultural commodities could have significant potential benefits for food security and poverty reduction in West Africa. Participation in global trade and economy is potentially important but not enough to ensure benefits at all levels of the chains and equitable distribution of income for each participant. Efficiency is key in the commodity value chain, but effective support functions and services, infrastructure, legal and policy environment are important. This paper presents the framework of value chain concept and analysis, as a guide to enhance competitiveness of commodities at national, regional or global level. The paper applies the value chain framework to a case study on mango in Benin, West Africa. The...

The three East African (EA) countries Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda have a population of about 95 million people and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of USD 34.2 billion. In recent years efforts has been made among the three East African countries, towards forging economic and regional co-operation by establishing the East African Community (EAC). The premise for economic and regional co-operation has been underpinned for the need for a common market and boost regional trade. The ultimate goal of these efforts is to achieve one of the international development objectives of increasing growth to 7% a year that is required to reduce income poverty. One of the challenges that East African countries need to tackle in the face of globalisation is the ability to...

Agriculture for Food and Nutrition Security: A Must For Achieving the Millennium Development Goals in Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dittoh,   Saa; Abizari,   Abdul-Razak; Akuriba,   Margaret A.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) underscore an overriding importance of human development for sustained economic, social, political and other development, and nutrition is the beginning of human development. Nutrition has, however, not been viewed as a development imperative in many African countries. Agricultural and health policies, projects and programmes and the conduct of agricultural and health research in most African countries do not consider nutrition to any significant degree.  The paper argues that food production, poverty, malnutrition and health are very intricately linked and the result of that linkage is probably the most important determinant of development and, thus, the realization of the MDGs in Africa.  It also argues that it is...

The rise of a western-style middle class in many successful emerging economies like China currently is inducing deep structural changes on agricultural world markets and within the global agri-food business. As a result of both higher incomes and concerns over product safety and quality the global demand for high-quality and safe food products is increasing significantly. In order to meet the new required quality, globally minimum quality standards are rising and private standards emerging. All over the world these developments cause adjustments at the enterprise, chain and market levels. At the same time, the tremendously increasing demand for renewable energy has led to the emergence of a highly promising market for biomass production. This has...

Agro-food Business Strategies for Origin Labelled Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Albisu,   Luis Miguel; Corcoran,   Kate.
Traditional and typical food products are, at present, fully recognized by European Union institutions and regulations. The name Origin Labelled Products (OLPs) brings together all those food products, which have legal recognition under the EU legislation, defined as produced in a particular place or region, while complying with certain EU rules. The term includes products of either Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Globalisation of food markets has reinforced the attractiveness of these products, as seen in the trend for consumers to appreciate locally produced products more in response to global brands and homogeneous food products. Food safety concerns among consumers, either rationally or emotionally...

The use of shallow wells, equipped with small pumps, to lift groundwater has spread rapidly in many agricultural regions of tropical monsoonal Asia. In Sri Lanka, the rapid and pervasive invasion of agro-wells and pumps drew the attention of policymakers and researchers, but many questions were left unanswered due to lack of research in the area. This study aims to fill this gap in knowledge, based on observations and data obtained in field surveys conducted in major and minor irrigation schemes in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. This report gives the key findings of this study into the pattern, extent and causes of the spread and use of agro-wells and pumps in traditional villages and irrigated settlement schemes. It investigates farmer investments in...

Alabama Restaurant Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Local Food: A Choice Based Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Reynolds-Allie,   Kenesha; Fields,   Deacue.
Direct marketing to restaurants has become increasingly popular as chefs desire high quality, fresh foods to meet the demand of their customers who are becoming more health conscious. Restaurants accounted for approximately 70 percent of the 2009 total food expenditures, and as a result represent a tremendous potential for developing a sustainable network with local growers.  This study seeks to determine restaurant/chefs’ preferences for local food in Alabama using choice based conjoint analysis, as well as, determine challenges faced by restaurants interested in purchasing locally.  Availability and lack of knowledge are found to be the major barriers to purchasing locally.  Results also suggest there is great potential for direct marketing to...

ALL FOR EFFICIENCY AND EFFICIENCY FOR ALL -- DISPELLING MYTHS ABOUT "COSTLY" NEW QUALITY ATTRIBUTES IN FOOD PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sterns,   James A.; Sterns,   Patricia Aust; Burkhardt,   Jeffrey.
As new quality attributes for food products emerge, questions arise about the relative “"efficiencies”" of alternative market responses to these changes.  This paper discusses two closely related issues:  different perspectives about “"efficiency”" found in the literature, and the potential responses to the introduction of new food product attributes by individual firms.  Comparing different understandings of “"efficiency”" and analyzing different firm-level market responses lead to conclusions about the use of “"efficiency"” for prescriptive decisions by firms and value-laden recommendations by economists.

ALLOCATION OF GENERIC ADVERTISING FUNDS AMONG PRODUCTS: A SALES MAXIMIZATION APPROACH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.; Forker,   Olan D.
With the passage of the Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment Act of 1983, dairy farmer investment in product research, nutrition education, advertising, and promotion in the United States increased from $60 million to $200 million annually.  A key decision faced by boards managing these funds is how best to allocate available advertising funds among the various dairy products.  In this paper an economic model is developed that shows the allocation of funds among products that would maximize sales in a given market.  The model is applied to the New York City market with results suggesting that over the study period diverting funds from fluid milk to cheese advertising would have enhanced milk-equivalent sales in the market by as much as 1.17% or 8.21 million...

Alternative Co-operative Structures for the Agri-food Sector: An Exploratory Study
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Doyon,   Maurice.
In a context of internationalisation and concentration, bio-foods co-operatives often face problems of capital access and governance. According to Spear (2001), limited access to capital, management structure, governance conflicts, and the local, regional or national focus of co-operatives limit their expansion. Recent events in Canada, such as Agricore going public and Dairyworld being absorbed by a corporation, have reinforced this perception (Thibault and Dupuis, 2003). In this evolving competitive environment, the traditional co-operative model cannot thrive and succeed if static. New hybrid co-operative models are emerging, and an analysis of these models should contribute to an understanding of the trade-off between co-operative values and other...

Alternative marketing options for small-scale farmers in the wake of changing agri-food supply chains in South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Louw,   Andre; Jordaan,   Daniel du Plessis Scheepers; Ndanga,   Leah Z.B.; Kirsten,   Johann F.
With South Africa’s urban population approaching 60%, supermarkets and fast food chains have become important players in the South African food system. These large players in the food sector have systematically modified their procurement practices especially with regard to fresh fruit and vegetables and are now circumventing spot markets in favour of sourcing via in-house sourcing companies who mainly procure from preferred supplier producers. This paper draws extensively from a global research programme which seeks to highlight the market changes that potentially contribute to continued exclusion of the small producers from mass consumer markets. This paper illustrates, through a series of case studies, how integration of small-scale farmers into the...

Alternative Measures of Benefit for Nonmarket Goods Which are Substitutes or Complements for Market Goods
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Loehman,   Edna T.
Nonmarket goods include quality aspects of market goods and public goods which may be substitutes or complements for private goods. Traditional methods of measuring benefits of exogenous changes in nonmarket goods are based on Marshallian demand: change in spending on market goods or change in consumer surplus. More recently, willingness to pay and accept have been used as welfare measures . This paper defines the relationships among alternative measures of welfare for perfect substitutes, imperfect substitutes, and complements. Examples are given to demonstrate how to obtain exact measures from systems of market good demand equations .

Alternative Pricing and Delivery Strategies for Alberta Cattle Feeders
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Novak,   Frank S.; Viney,   Bruce.
This study evaluates the risk and returns to cattle feeding in Alberta from the application of alternative marketing and pricing strategies. Feedlot finishing of 650 pound calves and 800 pound yearlings is modeled over the years from 1980 to 1993. The results of the study are based on the domestic and US marketing of live cattle using traditional cash marketing, futures contracts, put options, and forward production contracting systems. Use of the Western Domestic Feed Barley contract is also simulated. The results showed that barley price changes produced relatively small return changes compared to feeder and fat cattle price changes. An important source of return risk was found to be basis risk. Production contracting strategies which eliminated basis...

Alternative to Disincentive Rice Producer Prices in Madagascar: Case Study in Alaotra Prefecture and Bongolava Prefecture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ralandison,   Tsilavo; Shiratake,   Yoshiharu.
This study identifies the reasons for low producer prices of rice that have not covered its production costs for many years in Madagascar. The following points will be discussed: the farmers’ marketing conditions and the rural rice market structure, including the functions of each intervening trader preceding rice distribution in urban centers. The study also assesses current functions of the agricultural farmer cooperative: an organization expected to enable the establishment of fair trade in the domestic rice market. The data come from interviews conducted with 120 farmers, 20 traders, and the survey of the overall cooperative associations in two prefectures and main rice suppliers of the capital city. The analysis reveals that farmers were often...

An Analysis of Alternative Maize Marketing Policies in South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Hajek,   Milan; van Zyl,   Johan.
The maize-oriented agricultural economies throughout Southern Africa are in fundamental transition. Increased recognition of the costs of historical controls on pricing and marketing already has led to partial maize market liberalization in several countries in the region. However, there is still intense debate over the appropriate scope and implementation of future food market reform. Much of the debate derives from uncertainty over the consequences of comprehensive and politically risky changes to domestic markets, especially at a time when regional market conditions are also in flux due to agricultural restructuring in neighboring countries. There is currently little information on the direction and magnitude of grain trade between South Africa,...

Autores: Shi,   Guanming; Stiegert,   Kyle W.; Chavas,   Jean-Paul.
In this paper, we investigate substitution/complementarity relationships among products sold with different bundled characteristics and under different vertical arrangements. Our conceptual model demonstrates the interactive price impacts emanating from product differentiation, market concentration and market size. The model is applied to the U.S. cottonseed market using transaction level data from 2002 to 2007. This market has been impacted structurally in numerous ways due to the advances and the rapid adoption of seeds with differing bundles of biotechnology traits and vertical penetration emanating from the biotechnology seed industry. Several interesting findings are reported. The econometric investigation finds evidence of sub-additive pricing in the...

Few empirical basis studies have examined the basis in multiple regions and few have concentrated on cotton. This paper addresses this topic, examining consumption market factors that affect the cotton basis in five U.S. cotton production regions. The seemingly unrelated regression results indicate that the following factors are significant in explaining the basis: total U.S. cotton stocks and the ratio of foreign cotton stocks to foreign mill use in the Southeast and North Delta regions; regional stocks, the opportunity cost of storage and the foreign stocks to use ratio in the West Texas region; and regional stocks, total U.S. stocks, the opportunity cost of storage, and the foreign stocks to use ratio in the Desert Southwest and San Joaquin Valley...

After outlining environmental problems regarding food-economy2 companies and clarifying the concept of environmental behaviour, I will present the results of my questionnaire survey which focussed on food-economy companies in the Northern Great Plain region (Region). Based on solid data, the survey was designed to evaluate the companies’ commitment toward environmental protection. Sometimes the observed value systems conformed with the results of other national surveys (e.g. environmental behaviour factors; environmental protection’s rank among business aims), but at times I observed that in certain areas they truly lagged behind: for example, this held true for . the number of companies with a certified environmental-management system (EMS) and also for...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Langyintuo,   Augustine S.; Mwangi,   Wilfred; Diallo,   Alpha O.; MacRobert,   John F.; Dixon,   John; Banziger,   Marianne.
The liberalization and restructuring of the seed sector in eastern and southern Africa (ESA) during the past two decades have witnessed a proliferation of private seed companies in the maize seed industry (Hassan et al., 2001; Lemonius, 2005). Although the total number of registered maize seed companies increased from 8 and 11, respectively, in 1997 to 40 each, the quantities of seed marketed barely doubled, increasing from 23,000 and 27,000 tons to 53,000 and 51,000 tons, respectively; an indication that the reforms are insufficient in ensuring efficient functioning of the sector in the two regions. A study involving 117 seed providers, representing 92 percent of all registered maize seed companies in ESA in 2007 identified bottlenecks that have...

The dispute "European Communities - Protection of trademarks and geographical indications for agricultural products and foodstuffs" that opposes the European - Union to the United States and Australia, has been raised by the European regulation concerning the protection of geographical indications. This dispute has two important issues. First, the Panel demonstrated that the European regulation did not comply with national treatment promulgated by the TRIPS and the GATT 1994 Agreements. Second, the Panel affirmed the possibility of coexistence between GIs and identical prior trademarks. This article considers these two issues and depicts the position of the parties at the end of the dispute regarding GIs' protection. The first part of this article presents...

AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF FEED INGREDIENT PRICE RISK ON THE SELECTION OF MINIMUM COST BACKGROUNDING FEED RATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Coffey,   Brian K.
The traditional minimum cost feed ration linear programming model is expanded to permit risk management responses to price variability associated with feeding a particular ration across time.  The cost minimizing objective function also considers feed cost in a mean-variance (E-V) framework.  The model is specified using NRC nutrient requirements and an historic Feedstuffs price series.  A decision-maker can choose his/her optimal ration by making tradeoffs between price risk and net income.  The results should provide a basis for decision tools that allow livestock producers to manage the net income risk involved in the selection of a feed ration.

An Analysis of the Pricing of Traits in the U.S. Corn Seed Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shi,   Guanming; Chavas,   Jean-Paul; Stiegert,   Kyle W.
This paper investigates the pricing of patented traits in the U.S. hybrid corn seed market under imperfect competition. In a multiproduct context, we first examine how substitution/complementarity relationships among products can affect pricing. This is used to motivate multi-product generalizations of the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (GHHI) capturing cross-market effects of imperfect competition on bundle pricing. The GHHI model is applied to pricing of conventional and patented biotech seeds in the US from 2000-2007. One major finding is that standard component pricing in biotech traits is soundly rejected in favor of subadditive bundle pricing. The econometric estimates show how changes in market structures (as measured by both own- and cross-Herfindahl...

The focus of this study is the habitual speculator in commodity futures markets. The speculator's activity broadens a market, creates essential liquidity, and performs an irreplaceable pricing function. Working knowledge of the profiles and motivations of habitual speculators is essential to both market theorist and policy makers. Responses to a 73 question survey were collected directly from retail commodity brokers with offices in Alabama. Each questionnaire recorded information on an individual commodity client who had traded for an extended period of time. The typical trader studied is a married, white male, age 52. He is affluent and well educated. He is a self-employed business owner who can recover from financial setbacks. He is a politically right...

Autores: Diallo,   Amadou Sekou.
In most developing countries, historically, the main strategy for improving the food sector has focused on increasing farm-level production. But in recent years, with the emphasis on value chain analysis, there has been much more focus on subsector studies, demand-driven approaches, and improving vertical coordination to assure product quality to final consumption markets. Millet, sorghum, and later rice were the traditional leading three cereal crops produced and consumed in Mali. Maize has trailed them for more than two decades, but from mid 1990s on, it has been produced and consumed in much larger quantities. Given the potentials of maize, developing and better organizing its subsector has the potential to not only increase revenues for maize farmers,...

Farm retail marketing or farmer-to-consumer direct marketing is an important outlet for many New York vegetable products. Marketing direct to consumers takes special skills and abilities on the part of marketers, and also requires a favorable location with respect to land resources and local markets. Since many farmers and direct market managers lack the resources and experience to compete with supermarkets, it is important for direct marketing operators to differentiate themselves from the mass marketers. The goal of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of direct marketing activities and marketing strategies used by New York vegetable farms.

AN ARCH ANALYSIS OF THE HEDGING PERFORMANCE OF IMMINENTLY MATURING FUTURES CONTRACTS

Autores: Dahlgran,   Roger A.
Hedge ratio estimation studies avoid estimating hedge ratios for imminently maturing futures contracts because of the maturity effect whereby futures price volatility increases as price uncertainty is resolved at contract expiration.  This study first points out that a futures-price volatility increase is neither necessary nor sufficient for reduced hedging effectiveness because hedging effectiveness depends on the cash-futures price correlation.  To analyze the hedging performance of imminently maturing futures contracts risk is defined as the conditional variance of profit outcomes.  The conditional mean is modeled as Brownian motion.  This model was fit to cash and futures price data for corn, cotton, feeder cattle, soybeans, soybean oil, and soybean...

AN ASSESSMENT OF HAY MARKET INSTITUTIONS AND COORDINATION FUNCTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Miller,   Jeffrey H.
The experience of Michigan farmers illustrates the dilemma faced by hay growers:  while hay production has received a great deal of attention, hay marketing has been neglected.  Supplies of high quality hay can be expanded within the span of a single growing season, but the marketing system generates prices which do not always clear the market and which do not serve as accurate signals to guide planning decisions.  More fundamentally, there are no effective market mechanisms to generate those prices, to match buyers and sellers, or to move hay cheaply from surplus to deficit regions.  Clearly, this is not because hay is a minor crop.  In Michigan, hay is the second largest crop grown on a per acre basis.  Apart from the direct economic value of hay, it has...

An Assessment of the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act

Federal government funding for public price reporting began in 1914. Since then, most public market reporting for livestock and meat has relied on voluntary participation by market participants.  Populist support in 1999 led to passage of the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act which replaced the decades old voluntary reporting system with a mandatory system for livestock and meat.  Questions were raised by policymakers and others in discussions of the Act's renewal as to effectiveness of the mandatory reporting system.  This paper draws from available information to assess the Act's effectiveness since its initial implementation.  Satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the Act depends on one's expectations for what the Act was to accomplish or problems the...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brown,   Jeff E.; Ethridge,   Don E.; Hudson,   Darren; Engels,   Carlos.
An automated price reporting system developed through computer technology and hedonic price theory is used to estimate daily cotton market prices, premiums, and discounts. This objective approach for reporting cotton market prices was developed to complement the objective measures of high volume instrument grading of cotton. The computerized, econometric system is limited to the Texas and Oklahoma marketing regions where sales are readily available from electronic markets. The econometric based system has shown all the characteristics of an efficient price reporting system; it is accurate, reliable, consistent, and repeatable in its working process and price estimates.

AN ECONOMETRIC MODEL OF THE MARKET FOR NEW ENGLAND GROUNDFISH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Crutchfield,   Stephen R.
This paper develops an economic model of the New England groundfish market.  A multi-sector, multi-level econometric model is estimated using data from 1970 to 1982.  The parameters of the estimated model are used to characterize consumer demand for groundfish and related products.  Retail and exvessel demands for fresh and frozen groundfish fillets are found to be highly elastic.  Fresh fillets especially show high income elasticity of demand, reflecting their status as a luxury good.  Only a very small and statistically weak relationship was found between the prices of imported groundfish and domestic exvessel prices indicating that proposals to assist the domestic industry via tariffs may be ineffectual.

Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Taylor,   Richard D.
This report evaluates the U.S. carrot market using a quadratic programming algorithm. North Dakota ships carrots locally and to Minnesota under both the base and 1,000 acre scenarios.  North Dakota starts to ship carrots to Illinois as it produces more under other alternative scenarios.  This clearly indicates that North Dakota has a comparative advantage in producing carrots over other neighboring states.  North Dakota could produce about 8,000 acres of carrots and market them to North Dakota, Minnesota, and Illinois.  Additional production of carrots in North Dakota may not affect the national average price of carrots, but local prices may be affected due to regional competition.

AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE U.S. GENERIC DAIRY ADVERTISING PROGRAM USING AN INDUSTRY MODEL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Liu,   Donald J.; Kaiser,   Harry M.; Forker,   Olan D.; Mount,   Timothy D.
The market impacts of generic dairy advertising are assessed using an industry model which encompasses supply and demand conditions at the retail, wholesale, and farm levels, and government intervention under the dairy price support program.  The estimated model is used to simulate price and quantity values for four advertising scenarios: (1) no advertising, (2) historical fluid advertising, (3) historical manufactured advertising, and (4) historical fluid and manufactured advertising.  Compared to previous studies, the dairy-industry model provides additional insights into the way generic dairy advertising influences prices and quantities at the retail, wholesale, and farm levels.

An Economic Evaluation of Contract Marketing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Phillips,   John.
This paper analyses the efficiency consequences of the introduction of contract marketing. It interprets contracts as a means for extending the use of information and increasing the efficiency of its transmission. It is shown that the present system, based on spot markets, falls short of the ideal in which the marginal value product of informational resources equals their marginal cost, marginal cost being the least technically possible. Contracting reduces this disparity and in so doing improves short and long run resource allocation, accelerates innovation, diminishes overhead costs and enhances the efficiency of obtaining information.

An Economic Evaluation of the Hass Avocado Promotion Order’s First Five Years
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carman,   Hoy F.; Li,   Lan; Sexton,   Richard J.
The U.S. avocado industry has evolved from an emphasis on seasonal domestic production of a mix of avocado varieties to year-round availability of domestic and imported Hass avocados. California avocado producers, who account for approximately 90% of U.S. avocado production and essentially all U.S. Hass avocado production, have funded promotional programs for avocados since 1961. With few imports of avocados prior to the early 1990s, the benefits from these demand-enhancing programs flowed directly to California producers.   Imports of avocados into the United States have increased steadily since then, resulting in a free-rider problem that led ultimately to creation of the Hass Avocado Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 2000. This act established...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mixon,   Bobby; Turner,   Steven C.; Centner,   Terence J.
Specialty crop producers’ marketing problem, associated with lack of quality standards and advertising revenues, may detract from profitability. Although marketing orders, approved by producer referenda, offer a means to address these problems, institutional rules can make ratification difficult. In this study, economic structure was found to be more important than producer characteristics in explaining voter behavior in a Georgia Vidalia onions marketing order referendum.

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF HONEYBEE POLLINATION MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rucker,   Randal R.; Thurman,   Walter N.; Burgett,   Michael.
Pollination by honeybees plays an important role in modern agriculture.  Some crops are greatly dependent on honeybees (almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, and cherries are examples) while the yields and quality of other crops are significantly enhanced by honeybee pollination.  The importance of understanding pollination markets has increased recently due to changes brought on by the twin scourges of Varroa and tracheal mites.  Both are infestations of feral and domestic bees that imply greater future reliance on domesticated bees at higher cost.      In the United States a complex market has evolved that connects itinerant beekeepers and their bee colonies with farmers who demand their services.  While the fields of entomology and crop science have...

An Empirical Analysis of Recent Changes in US Beef Marketing Margins
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Armah,   Stephen E.
An Augmented Relative Price Spread (ARPS) model is employed to explain recent changes in real US beef wholesale-retail (WR) and hence farm-retail (FR) marketing margins. It is found that the surge in retail market concentration in 1999 most likely increased retail market oligopsony power relative to wholesale oligopoly power, ultimately changing real US WR beef marketing margins. The finding that higher oligopsony retail market power relative to oligopoly wholesale market power in the US beef industry was most likely responsible for the changes in US WR marketing margins in 1999 is important because it provides an economic justification for policy makers to regulate anticompetitive conduct by beef retailers.

A laboratory experimental auction was used to determine factors influencing the relative value consumers place on alternative retail beef packaging. Results indicate information is very important for the successful introduction and marketing of the vacuum skin package. Physical appearance of the beef plays a major role in purchasing decisions by consumers, with fat and shape significantly decreasing the value of beef in the vacuum skin package relative to beef in the overwrapped styrofoam tray package. Experimental economics procedures, when combined with traditional marketing research techniques, can provide useful information for marketing decisions and economic analyses.

This study seeks to identify interproduct relationships between domestic catfish and a representative selection of imported seafood. In doing so, this study uses multivariate cointegration and structural analyses. Multivariate cointegration analysis suggests that six imported seafood product groupings form a common market with domestic catfish. Structural analysis reveals that 1) domestic and imported catfish are net and gross quantity substitutes; 2) domestic catfish and imported seafood are normal goods; 3) six imported seafood products are identified as gross quantity substitutes for domestic catfish; and 4) according to the derived Allais coefficients, interaction intensities of imported seafood for domestic catfish (from greatest to least) are as...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rae,   Allan N.
It appears that the agricultural economics literature lacks much evidence upon which we can judge the performance of statutory boards as marketing institutions. This paper reports the achievements of the New Zealand Apple and Pear Marketing Board in two areas of supply diversion--the allocation of fruit between fresh and process markets, and the allocation of fresh fruit sales over time. Results indicate that the Board has achieved considerable gains for producers in the first of these areas, while in the second its behaviour has favoured consumers.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has received much attention in the business press as a management process to enhance firm performance. This research highlights differences between groups of respondents who believe their firm's CRM program is performing at a high level, as compared to those not satisfied with the performance of their CRM initiative. Cluster analysis was used to develop a taxonomy of respondents based on their perceived CRM performance. The resulting clusters are then profiled on both demographic variables as well as a core set of activities/behaviors to better understand key differences in the CRM programs of agribusinesses.

Nationally, the number of operating farmers' markets has increased 111% in the past ten years from 1,755 markets to 3,706 from 1994 to 2004 (AMS, 2006). Indiana's farmers' markets has increased at double the rate in the same time frame. An internet and mail census was sent to market masters to assess operational procedures and factors that influence customer and vendor participation in the market. A two-stage least squares model was estimated for the vendor and customer model. In Equation 1.1, paying fees and the number of customers present were the two variables that had a significant, positive influence on vendor participation. In Equation 1.2, the presence of WIC, number of products available, the absence or presence of live music, absence or presence...

An Evaluation of Tennessee Soybean Growers’ Views on a New Generation Cooperative to Produce Biodiesel
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jensen,   Kimberly L.; English,   Burton C.; Menard,   R. Jamey; Zhang,   Yu.
Substituting petroleum diesel with biodiesel could decrease air emissions, reduce reliance on foreign oil, and help expand markets for U.S. farmers. Soybean producers can potentially capture this value-added by forward integrating the processing of soybeans into biodiesel via a New Generation Cooperative (NGC). Using probit analysis, this study examines factors influencing soybean producers’ willingness to participate in an NGC to produce biodiesel. Tobit analysis is used to examine the factors influencing the number of shares the soybean producer would be willing to purchase. Survey results indicate that over 70% of the soybean producers in the study group are interested in investing in an NGC to produce biodiesel. Among those producers willing to...

The contribution of farmers markets to the U.S. economy has become more significant due to the increased demand for fresh, locally produced products. However, compared to other marketing outlets, the economic contribution of farmers markets often goes unrecognized. This study focuses on farmers markets in Oklahoma and uses the IMPLAN model to estimate the impacts of farmers markets to Oklahoma’s economy. The results from this study show that farmers market activities are a vital part of Oklahoma’s economy, generating total direct sales of $3.3 million, with a total economic impact of almost $6 million.

AN EXAMINATION OF FUTURES PRICE DETERMINATION THROUGH THE LENS OF MARKET INTEGRATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dahlgran,   Roger A.
This paper develops a general model of cash and futures markets for a storable commodity. The cash market model is characterized by the incorporation of long hedged to establish contractual claims against existing inventories, which may be either short hedged or unhedged.  The futures market model incorporates outright speculation as well as spread speculation.  The paper then examines through mathematical analysis the characteristics these markets must possess if they are informationally efficient, if they are conformable for testing price discovery, and if they are integrated in the short or long run.  Thus far results indicate that informationally efficient futures markets are characterized by any one of five conditions:  (1) perfectly inelastic...

Recent literature, largely from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, indicates that substantial changes have occurred in the produce industry in recent years. With the rise of retail mass merchandisers and increased concentration in the retail food industry, the procurement power of these large firms reportedly has also increased. With direct buying and contracting, market intermediaries such as brokers and wholesalers allegedly are being bypassed. As a result, these market intermediaries ostensibly are also consolidating becoming fewer and larger with increased emphasis on servicing the food service industry. However, the findings of this study indicate that there is no convincing evidence that the market structure of the U.S....

AN EXPERIMENTAL ECONOMICS APPROACH TO ANALYZING PRICE DISCOVERY IN FORWARD AND SPOT MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Krogmeier,   Joseph L.; Menkhaus,   Dale J.; Phillips,   Owen R.; Schmitz,   John D.
Laboratory experiments are used to generate data that facilitate investigation of pricing behavior in forward and spot markets.  Results suggest a tendency for prices in a spot market to converge to levels higher than those in a forward market.  The difference in these market environments is the supply schedule.  Buyers in a spot market are aware that supply is inelastic and become relatively aggressive bidders.  Forward markets have a relatively elastic supply schedule and buyers fare better. This may motivate firms to promote forward markets and/or vertically integrate in the procurement of inputs.

An Exploration of Market Pricing Efficiency: The Dairy Options Pilot Program
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Buschena,   David E.; McNew,   Kevin.
Put options have been recommended as a substitute for price support programs (Gardner, 1977), and subsidized option purchases have received some support in lieu of subsidized insurance programs.  Put options are an interesting alternative to price supports because their market-determined price levels allow for flexibility and adjustments to relevant current and expected market conditions.   One difficulty with the use of put options as a substitute for commodity price supports is the relative thinness of these options markets for some commodities.  Market thinness is defined here as the absence of traders willing to take the necessary opposite position in the market in lieu of a relatively large price premium, particularly for a large number of contracts....

Autores: Wadsworth,   Frank Howard.
Increased rivalry in the food industry has led existing food marketers to change from a 'commodity' to a 'marketing' business orientation. This research investigates the marketing process as implemented by several consumer food product marketers. A model of the marketing process was developed using marketing literature and discussions with academicians. Field interviews with consumer food product marketers were conducted to determine their marketing processes and activities. Interview results reveal that although marketers use the same components of the marketing process model, the extent to which these components are used varies substantially. Commodity-oriented firms use fifty percent of the model's elements, while marketing-oriented firms use ninety...

An Improved Method for Calibrating Purchase Intentions in Stated Preference Demand Models
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Davies,   Stephen P.; Loomis,   John B.
The Orbit demand model allows the magnitude of the calibration to stated purchase intentions to vary based on the magnitude of the stated quantities. Using an empirical example of stated trips, we find that the extent of calibration varies substantially with less correction needed at small stated trips (–25%) but larger corrections at higher quantities of stated visits (–48%). We extend the Orbit model to calculate consumer surplus per stated trip of $26. Combining the calibrations in stated trips and value per trip, the Orbit model provides estimates of annual benefits from 60% to 111% less than the count data model.

AN INITIAL LOOK AT THE TOKYO GRAIN EXCHANGE NON-GMO SOYBEAN CONTRACT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Parcell,   Joseph L.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) such as soybeans and corn have garnered considerable consumer attention due to the concern over potential effects from using these commodities as inputs into food production. In the simplest form, segregation of bioengineered and non-bioengineered crops is an identity-preserved system. For these identity-preserved systems to exist, there must be a market discovery mechanism in place whereby supply and demand factors interact to establish a market price. In May 2000, the Tokyo Grain Exchange began a nongenetically modified organism (non-GMO) soybean contract. This article describes information garnered from the first public-offered identity-preserved marketplace.

An Integrated Approach to Modeling Price Volatility in the Live Cattle Futures Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Evans,   Kevin J.; Streeter,   Deborah H.; Hudson,   Michael A.
An understanding of changes in price volatility is of value to policy makers and exchange committee members as well as other participants in commodity futures markets. Previous research has studied volatility by measuring: 1) the flow of new information into the market, or 2) the effect that the structure of the futures market has on price volatility. In this paper, a model is developed which integrates these two themes in the literature to measure and explain price volatility in live cattle futures prices. The model is subjected to a battery of diagnostic tests so that a comparison can be made between the integrated model and models from previous research. Also, since price volatility from the underlying commodity is a major component in the determination...

An Ordinal Regression Model using Dealer Satisfaction Data

This article analyses dealer satisfaction data in the agricultural technology market in Germany. The dealers could rate their suppliers in the ’overall satisfaction’ and in 38 questions which can be summarized in 8 dimensions. An ordinal regression model which is also known as the proportional odds model is used to analyse the ordinal scaled rating of the dealers. The ordinal regression model is a well examined method in econometric theory, but many authors prefer using a linear regression model due to better interpretation, even the assumptions of a linear regression do not fit the data. Since the estimated coefficients of an ordinal regression model can not be properly interpreted we show other methods for a better insight of the relationship of the...

The impediments include access to finance and markets, lack of herbal market information especially relating to external markets. Additionally, there is lack of processing capacity, while at the same time most if not all the natural products business operators lack technical training relating to product handling. However, there is big potential for success, the top ten traded natural products, may be exploited initially, both domestically and for export market, given range of perceived use.

The growth rate was estimated to be around 10-20 per cent per annum in the next few years, with sales reaching $US 29-31 billion in 2005. The biggest growth in consumption has occurred in developed countries, such as the United States, Western Europe, and Japan that are also major importers of organic foods. It is clear that Australia, traditionally a major exporter of agricultural products, stands to benefit from the expansion in demand for organic products. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the Australian organic food products industry, including...

Análise dos fatores determinantes da viabilidade de implantação do contrato futuro de suínos vivos no Brasil
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Santos,   Adriana Helena Gama dos; Aguiar,   Danilo Rolim Dias de.
O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a viabilidade de utilização de um contrato futuro referenciado em suínos, no Brasil. O interesse decorre da importância da cadeia de suínos neste país, que, apesar de relevante, apresenta grande instabilidade, principalmente quando se avaliam os riscos de preços do produto. No entanto, a introdução de um novo contrato não é uma questão simples, visto que muitos contratos são lançados no mercado, mas tempos depois fracassam. Assim, o estudo do mercado e das características da commodity deve ser realizado antes da inovação contratual, para que os pontos positivos e possíveis pontos problemáticos sejam identificados. O modelo utilizado foi desenvolvido por Pennings e Leuthold (1999), que avaliaram as características micro e...

The globalisation of processing industry and the consolidation of the international retail trade, together with the increase of imports after the EU access, supported the competition hot up and saturation of domestic food market.  Both food processors and food retailers are exposed to increasing competition. In order to maintenance on the market they are increasingly pressed to minimize their costs and/or to accomplish higher prices for products with competitive advantage. Besides of that all participants of the agri-food chain are pressed to intensify marketing support of their goods.  Aiming to reduce the costs, some of processors choose the way by the substitution of part of the input material by another, cheaper one. On the other hand, the offer of...

Analyse des verbraucherorientierten Qualitätsurteils mittels assoziativer Verfahren am Beispiel von Schweinefleisch und Kartoffeln
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bruhn,   Maike; Grebitus,   Carola.
Consumers’ quality judgement depends on their knowledge concerning certain quality attributes. Against this background this paper presents the results of a consumer survey conducted in 2004. We focus on measuring consumers’ cognitive structures regarding pork and potatoes. On this account we apply a free-association technique and a variation of concept mapping. Our analysis shows that consumers’ cognitive structures are quite complex and heterogeneous. Product characteristics such as ‘taste’ and ‘fat content’ dominate consumers’ knowledge. To predict the eating quality of pork consumers prefer intrinsic quality cues. In contrast to that extrinsic quality cues are used to predict the origin of the given product. With regard to potatoes the intrinsic quality...

Autores: Blisard,   Noel; Blayney,   Donald P.; Chandran,   Ram; Allshouse,   Jane E.
Generic advertising raised fluid milk sales about 6.0 percent, or 18.1 billion pounds, between September 1984 and September 1997. Sales of cheese rose by about 6.8 billion pounds (milk equivalent) in the same period because of increased generic advertising. An assessment of 15 cents per hundredweight of milk sold commercially, mandated by the Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment Act of 1983, funded the advertising. Activities of the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board also contributed to increased milk sales over the past year. Gross returns to dairy farmers between September 1984 and September 1997 were estimated to increase by $3.44 for each dollar spent on generic advertising.

Analysis of Economically Optimal Nutrition and Marketing Strategies for Paylean® Usage in Hog Production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Li,   Ning; Preckel,   Paul V.; Foster,   Kenneth A.; Schinckel,   Allan P.
An approach to the development of the economically optimal dietary concentration of Paylean, duration of the Paylean feeding, and dietary lysine concentration for finishing hog production is presented. A simulation model describing daily growth of hogs under different Paylean and lysine concentration combinations was adapted for optimizing nutrition and marketing when feed is supplemented with Paylean. Net returns per pig space per day under four alternative payment schemes are maximized based on 10-year average price levels and production costs. Profitability of Paylean is investigated, and management strategies for swine production with Paylean are developed for two representative finishing operations.

Indicators of poverty in western Kenya show high poverty levels. The area has low dairy development yet the potential for dairy development is quite high. Dairy farming has the potential to reduce poverty by increasing incomes and reducing unemployment. This paper reports factor interrelationships in dairy adoption with a view to understanding factors that influence adoption. The binary probit model was used to analyse data from 1575 households. Contrary to findings from similar studies elsewhere, some factors had a negative association with adoption, thus unfolding a unique adoption process. The association between the factor interactive affects and technology adoption highlighted the importance of exploring factor interrelationships. The widely held...

Analysis of Fruit Consumption in the U.S. with a Quadratic AIDS Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mekonnen,   Dawit Kelemework; Huang,   Chung L.; Fonsah,   Esendugue Greg.
The Quadratic AIDS model was estimated to analyze the U.S. fruit consumption using annual per capita consumption data and prices for a demand system consisting of fresh fruit, fruit juice and other processed fruit.  All Marshallian own price elasticities are found to be negative and the demand system is dominated by complementarity relationships. Both own and cross price Marshallian elasticities are less than one. Fruit juices are found to be expenditure elastic conditional on the total expenditure on fruits while fresh fruits and other processed fruits are found to be expenditure inelastic. However, fresh fruit is close to being unitary expenditure elastic. After allowing for curvature in the Engel function, U.S. fresh fruit demand is found to be more...

Autores: Kaiser,   Harry M.; Forker,   Olan D.
An econometric model of the United States dairy industry is used to simulate the economic impact of alternative strategies in the generic advertising of dairy products. Advertising programs for fluid milk, cheese, and butter are considered. The historic quarterly advertising expenditure levels experienced during the period October 1984 through December 1990 are used as a basis of comparison. A national model enables the analyst to simultaneously estimate the impact of changes in advertising expenditures on price and volume of sales at retail, wholesale, and farm levels of trade. The impact on government purchases can also be estimated. The simulations indicate that the largest impact of decreases or increases in advertising expenditures is on price. A 50...

Autores: Wan,   Yang; Sun,   Changyou; Grebner,   Donald L.
The market of wooden beds in the U.S. has been flooded with imports from China and Vietnam in recent years. Static and dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System models are used to assess the import demand for wooden beds from the top seven supplying countries. The analyses reveal that the antidumping investigation on China has some temporary trade depression effect on China, but trade diversion occur  to Vietnam, Indonesia, Canada, and Brazil. The formal implementation of antidumping duties since 2005 has not shown any significant effect on the trade pattern. U.S. consumers spend more on beds from newly industrialized countries and there are moderate degrees of substitution among wooden beds from most countries.

ANALYSIS OF INTEGRATION BETWEEN QUEENSLAND FEED AND MALTING BARLEY MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gali,   Jyothi; Brown,   Colin G.
Barley can be differentiated into feed and malting barley based on its end-use markets. Substitutability both in supply and in demand complicates analysis of price information in the barley market. The paper examines the price linkages between feed and malting barley in the Queensland barley market by using cointegration and error correction models. Malting barley prices respond to restore equilibrium relationships with corresponding feed barley prices in the long run, but not vice versa. Thus there appears to be a price leadership role for feed barley, and one-way substitutability and quality differences in the barley market.

ANALYSIS OF MARKETING MARGINS IN THE U.S. LAMB INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Byrne,   Patrick J.; Williams,   Gary W.
Factors affecting marketing margins were identified and assessed using a relative price spread technique.  Margins were disaggregated into slaughter-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail for a more complete understanding.  Marketing costs, concentration, demand, and price were used to explain variations within these margins.  Results showed that packer concentration had a significant effect on margins.  Forces of supply and demand (as represented by production and market price) and changes in marketing costs also explained the variation in margins.  A higher degree of price transmission from slaughter-to-wholesale level was observed in comparison to the wholesale-to-retail level.

Autores: Dhoubhadel,   Sunil P.; Castillo,   Sergio C.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
It is generally observed that whenever there are cases of disease outbreaks or food recalls, there is a concomitant decline in commodity prices.  However, it is still not clear what happens to price spreads among affected agents in the marketing chain.  To shed light on this issue, we estimate the collective impact of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and food recalls on marketing margins associated with the U.S. beef industry over time.  In previous research, the effects of these variables on the market demand of meat were estimated separately.  By including these variables together in the same model specification we avoid the possibility of confounding their effects, and we are in position to obtain more precise estimates of elasticities of price...

The existing marketing status of fish fingerlings has been analysed with a special reference to environmental concerns and awareness of the fishermen. The constraints have been identified and suggestions have been made for the development of marketing of fishery on the basis of primary data collected from Dakshin Dinajpur district of West Bengal in 2006. Small and marginal farmers dominate the fishery and about 10 per cent of fish farmers earn their major livelihood from fishing. Three to four middlemen have been noted in the existing four marketing channels. Insignificant price variation among the channels has been confirmed by low value (7.25 per cent) of co-efficient of variation (CV). The fisherman’s share to consumer price has been found to be 62.80...

Data for the paper were obtained from multiple sources, including trade journals, academic journals, and directed interviews with key informants from industry, academic institutions, and government.  Face-to-face, structured interviews with members of the grower group were also conducted to obtain data about their resources and skills.  An overview of conditions facing the organic vegetable industry (especially demand conditions) is included.  The results could apply to other...

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMERCE AND MARKETING IN THE SMALL ENTERPRISE SECTOR:  THE CASE OF JAMAICA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sulaimana,   Annette.
It is difficult to formulate a single definition for "small scale enterprise."  Most countries have their own definition, reflecting more or less the stages achieved by each in economic development.  However, there are certain basic characteristics of small enterprises in most countries:  (1) the capital outlay is relatively small; (2) the operations are relatively less mechanized than those of large scale enterprises; and (3) they are geographically dispersed.  Recent concerns for the problem of employment creation and income distribution in less developed countries has sparked an interest in the role of small scale enterprises in the process of economic development.  The industrialization policies pursued by most developing countries has led to the use...

Autores: Odhiambo,   Mark O.; Oluoch-Kosura,   Willis; Kibiego,   Michael B.
Beans are widely grown as a major food crop in Eastern and Southern Africa. It is the most important staple food crop after maize in Kenya (ECABREN, 2000). The beans industry in Kenya is faced with problems of shortages, seasonal supply and price fluctuations and inadequate information on production, marketing and consumption. These problems are more acute in urban areas. This paper analyzes the structure and performance of the beans marketing system in Nairobi metropolitan area, the single most important beans market in Kenya. Data from a sample of 102 traders augmented by secondary data were used to analyze the marketing system by applying descriptive statistics, concentration ratios and co-integration models. The results showed that the beans marketing...

Analysis of the theory of intermediaries and firm in rural socialized service organizations

Autores: Li,   Wu; Hu,   Zhen-peng.
We use Sperber's intermediairies and the firm theory to analyze the rural socialized service organizations. By studying the case of the melon association in Beihe Village of Uqiao Township in Beijing, we find that the basic existing objective of this association is to save transaction cost. The theoretical research and case analysis results show that the dispersed peasants are unable to solve the contradiction between small-scale production and large-scale market. However, the rural socialized service organizations, the purpose of which is to serve the benefit of the peasants, can save the transaction cost of peasants and safeguard the economic interests of the peasants.

The purpose of this paper is to determine if hedging effectiveness can be enhanced with an understanding of seasonal and interseasonal changes in relative prices between the three wheat futures markets. The specific objectives of the analysis are to address the following questions: (1) What factors have contributed to increased variability in relative prices? (2)Do seasonal patterns in relative prices exist, and if so, how reliable is such seasonality? (3)How can hard red spring wheat hedgers use changing price spreads to increase the effectiveness of their hedging programs? (4) Can fundamental factors of supply and demand be used to predict forthcoming relative prices, and thus guide hedgers in selection of the most advantageous hedging market?

ANALYZING GRAIN MARKET EFFICIENCY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: REVIEW OF EXISTING METHODS AND EXTENSIONS TO THE PARITY BOUNDS MODEL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Negassa,   Asfaw; Myers,   Robert J.; Gabre-Madhin,   Eleni Z.
This paper discusses a modeling approach that extends and improves the standard parity bounds model (PBM) of spatial market efficiency by analyzing the dynamic effects of marketing policy changes. The model facilitates an improved understanding of the patterns of adjustment in grain marketing efficiency in response to policy changes in two main ways. First, it identifies whether there are statistically significant structural changes in trading regime probabilities as a result of a given marketing policy change. Second, it determines the time path of the response of spatial grain market efficiency to marketing policy changes, thus addressing the issue of how long will it take before the full effect of marketing policy change is realized on spatial grain...

Analyzing pork purchases at the point of sale – The role of consumer involvement
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Grebitus,   Carola; Colson,   Gregory; Menapace,   Luisa.
Involvement is an important psychological construct for understanding consumers’ underlying purchase decision process and those factors that shape product perceptions. In order to better understand consumer purchase behavior for low and high priced pork cuts, a series of field interviews at a variety of food retailers were conducted with actual pork shoppers using the New Involvement Profile (NIP) developed by Jain and Srinivasan (1990). In addition to responses to a series of questions designed to assess consumers’ involvement when purchasing pork, informational elements including socio-demographic information and pork attributes (e.g., origin, advertisement, on sale) were also included in the analysis. Key results from the study show individuals with...

Autores: Chidmi,   Benaissa; Solis,   Daniel; Funtanilla,   Margil; Cabrera,   Victor E.
This study analyzes the determinants of TE among traditional dairy farms in the State of Wisconsin taking into account dairy farms’ heterogeneity. To do so, we first estimate a production frontier and the level of TE using the SPF framework. Then we analyze the determinants of TI using a quantile regression analysis. The results indicate that the determinants of TE affect in very specific ways farmers with different levels of TE. This result confirms our hypothesis on the importance of controlling for farm heterogeneity when analyzing the determinants of TE. This issue is also important from an empirical point of view. Policy makers could improve the effectiveness of their work by targeting specific agricultural services and aid designed for farmers with...

Animal Disease Economic Impacts: A Survey of Literature and Typology of Research Approaches
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pritchett,   James G.; Thilmany,   Dawn D.; Johnson,   Kamina K.
Animal diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) are a threat to the animal product marketing sector and the broader economy. Policy makers and industry stakeholders seek a means of assessing a disease threat's economic impacts when evaluating prevention and mitigation measures. But, differences in the focus of the impact analysis (production level, market prices, welfare), level of analysis (geographically, marketing phase) and proposed policy alternatives all influence the analytical approach. This paper surveys previous research, focusing on methodological approaches and results. Drawing from past research and future economic data needs, a typology is developed to guide researchers when defining the scope and policy alternatives of various...

Against the background of increasing political importance of organic farming combined with market potential for organic food, especially concerning conventional retailers, this article aims to improve organic marketing for retailers by means of product-specific analysis of consumers’ purchase behaviour. The main research aspects based on a consumer survey are preference testing and attitude measuring to explain consumers’ purchase behaviour concerning selected products. The preference test furthermore offered the possibility to examine the impact of substitutes produced by other environmentally friendly production methods and to estimate the market potential for organic food. The findings of this research are firstly hints on market potential for organic...

Mezcal is an alcoholic beverage produced only in selected regions of Mexico under appellation of origin status from the Word Intellectual Property Organization. While it has been produced in Mexico for many centuries, mezcal’s appellation of origin was only granted in 1995. Therefore efforts to produce and market it as a premium product have a relatively short history. This case study examines developments in the production and marketing of this unique product, and the activities of the marketing cooperative El Tecuán in Guerrero State in this process.

Involvement of farmers especially those at the smallholder level, in commercial agriculture is an important pathway towards economic development.  There is a growing literature on the extent and determinants of market participation by farmers in different areas of the world. However, many studies fail to statistically account for the choice of either pooled models or disaggregated analysis of data from multiple sites. The consequence is that the scope and relevance of policy inferences on the basis of those results are limited. This study contributes to knowledge in filling the analytical void through application of the Chow test. Primary data from seventy seven vegetable farmers is analysed to understand factors that influence the level of market...

Recently there have been more and more foodborne illnesses being associated with fresh vegetable produce. In response to this, consumer confidence has been lowered with the safety of the vegetable industry. So, many retailers have recently announced programs requiring growers to have independent third-party inspections.  The goal with this essay is to introduce a  vegetable farm and reveal its food safety procedures from the seeding  through shipping,.  reviewing, evaluating, and strengthening current good agricultural practices (GAPs) used on the farm and good manufacturing practices (GMPs) used in packing facilities, and the recall system which also can reduce microbial risks.

Autores: Crespi,   John M.; Marette,   Stephan.
An analytical framework where consumers display preferences for various qualities of an agricultural commodity is used to investigate the producer welfare effects of generic advertising assessments.  Depending upon the degree of product differentiation present in the final goods, some producers are shown to benefit more than others from the use of an equivalent assessment on all producers.  This paper delineates those cases where producer assessments should be equal and where assessments should be different to insure an equitable benefit.

Literature regarding the pricing efficiency of Australian wholesale vegetable markets is very limited. The objective of this paper is to test whether or not vegetable products traded in these markets are priced efficiently and satisfy the law of one price (LOOP). To that end, the price relationships between Adelaide and Melbourne markets are tested, using the Johansen cointegration approach, Granger causality and impulse response functions. The empirical findings do not appear to satisfy the LOOP. Policy implications of the analysis are explored.

Are Corn and Soybean Options Too Expensive?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Urcola,   Hernan A.; Irwin,   Scott H.
A growing body of recent evidence suggests that premiums for financial options might be too high. For agricultural options, market participants often make similar claims, however there is very limited scientific literature to prove or disprove such claims. This research investigates the efficiency of corn and soybean options markets by directly computing trading returns. Time effects on market efficiency are also investigated. When the sample period is considered as a whole, risk adjusted returns indicate that no profits can be made by taking either side of the corn or soybean options markets. However, when time effects are analyzed, corn calls appear to have provided excess returns during the 1998--2005 period. This result do not appear to be driven by...

Are Geographical Indications a way to "decommodify" the coffee market?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Galtier,   F.; Belletti,   Giovanni; Marescotti,   Andrea.
The commodity nature of green coffee is the main cause of “the coffee paradox” (decreasing prices at production level and rising prices at consumption level). So, a requirement to reach a less unfair distribution of the added value between the supply chain would be to “decommodify” the coffee market not only at the final consumer level, but also at the production level. Certifications (like Fair Trade, Organic, Rainforest Alliance, Utz Kapeh, or Birdfriend) are often presented as a way to reach this result, but according to some authors these schemes seem to be rather an extension of the standardization wave to new quality attributes (linked to social and/or environmental characteristics of the production process). Geographical indications (GIs) seems to...

Autores: Shonkwiler,   John Scott.
A measure for evaluating whether live hog and cattle futures prices represent rational forecasts is presented.  It is assumed that the mechanisms which generate rational price forecasts possess the same stochastic properties as the cash prices with which they are associated.  Using empirical data, tests are constructed which suggest that for contracts more than two months from maturity the rationality hypothesis is generally rejected.  These findings are related to other studies of futures performance and the livestock markets.

We employed the propensity score matching and estimated the causal effect of being certified organic crop producers on farm household income and its various components in the United States. Contrary to the standard assumption in economic analysis, certified organic farmers do not earn significantly higher household income than conventional farmers. Certified organic crop producers earn higher revenue but they incur higher production expenses. In particular, certified organic producers spend significantly more on labor expenses, insurance payments, and marketing charges than conventional farmers. The results suggest that early adopters of organic farmers have done so for non pecuniary reasons and the lack of economic incentives can be an important barrier...

Are Staple Foods Becoming More Expensive For Urban Consumers In Eastern And Southern Africa? Trends in Food Prices, Marketing Margins, and Wage Rates in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mason,   Nicole M.; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Donovan,   Cynthia; Chapoto,   Antony.
The world food and financial crises threaten to undermine the real incomes of urban consumers in eastern and southern Africa. This study investigates patterns in staple food prices, wage rates, and marketing margins for urban consumers in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia between 1993 and 2009. There is high correlation among wage rate series for various government and private sector categories. We find that average formal sector wages rose at a faster rate than retail maize meal and bread prices in urban Kenya and Zambia between the mid-1990s and 2007. Although the 2007/08 food price crisis partially reversed this trend, the quantities of staple foods affordable per daily wage in urban Kenya and Zambia during the 2008/09 marketing season were still...

ASPECTS OF HEDGING THEORY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goss,   Barry A.
In this paper, interpretative comments are offered on some established aspects of the economics of futures trading, including the nature of the equilibrium condition in the case of an inverse carrying charge, some inferences about traders' market positions made from estimates of returns, and the implications of the normal backwardation hypothesis in cases where hedgers are net long. The paper also includes a survey of the recent literature on the forward pricing function of futures markets, with a discussion of, inter alia, the methods used to investigate the hypothesis that futures prices are anticipations of delivery date spot prices, and the possible reasons why some markets perform this function better than others.

Assessing China’s Potential Import Demand for Distillers Dried Grain: Implications for Grain Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Hansen,   James M.; Matthey,   Holger; Pan,   Suwen; Tuan,   Francis C.
A team of U.S. analysts visited China to assess the potential for use of distillers dried grain plus solubles (DDGS) in China’s livestock sector. They examined the economics of the use of DDGS in feeds, the policy issues surrounding the use of the product, and transportation-logistic constraints in the expansion of DDGS imports. The team collected actual and secondary data to conduct a micro-economic analysis of the impact of DDGS on feed cost, solicited official and expert opinions through interviews, and conducted site visits. They found the development of the DDGS import market in China to be very promising. The microeconomic analysis showed a clear economic incentive for feed millers and livestock producers to use DDGS in their feed ration, with a...

Assessing Consumer Preferences and Attitudes toward Imported Pork in Urban China
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ortega,   David L.; Wang,   H. Holly; Wu,   Laping.
China’s transition into a developed economy is driving changes in consumer preferences and demand for foods. To evaluate consumer preferences for imported pork in urban China, primary data were collected in two metropolitan areas- Beijing and Shanghai. Estimated logit models revealed that an individual’s age, shopping location and food safety concerns significantly influenced their willingness-to-pay for U.S. pork. A proportional linear model was developed to evaluate factors affecting purchasing behavior of western-style pork cuts vs. traditional Chinese cuts. Food safety concerns were linked to a previous lean-meat additive scare and a lack of consumer confidence on the Chinese food inspection system.

Assessing Consumer Willingness to Pay for Value-Added Blueberry Products Using a Payment Card Survey
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang; Woods,   Timothy A.; Bastin,   Sandra; Cox,   Linda J.; You,   Wen.
This study offers insights on consumer acceptance and willingness to pay for three value-added blueberry products. A modified payment card approach was used. The analytical framework adopted allows the researcher to attach straightforward economic interpretation to the estimated impacts of willingness to pay factors. Results show consumer socio-economic characteristics are important determinants but play different roles depending on the products. Information on health benefits may also be important. However, it is found that outside information or consumer self-stated awareness of blueberries’ health benefits have different impacts. These impacts may function as substitutes rather than complements to each other.

Assessing Domestic Demand for Organic and ‘Locally Grown' Produce on An ‘Organic Island': Dominica's Dilemma
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boys,   Kathryn A.; Willis,   David B.; George,   Seraphine; Hammig,   Michael D.
The economy of Dominica faces a unique set of challenges.  As with many other Caribbean nations, Dominica has historically been dependent upon agriculture.  Over the past several hundred years, the island's economy has been largely supported through the concentrated mono-cropping of a variety of export-oriented crops including coffee, limes, vanilla, and bananas (FAVACA, 2008).  Today, approximately 45% of Dominica's labor force is employed in the agricultural sector (FAVACA, 2008).  While neighboring countries have economically benefited from tourism, due to its lack of white sand beaches, Dominica is not a typical tourist destination.  Taking advantage of its landscape, rainforests, and diversity of natural wildlife, in an effort to diversify its economy...

Assessing Market Functioning: The Case of the Hungarian Milk Chain

Autores: Hockmann,   Heinrich; Voneki,   Eva.
The paper discusses the impact of market power in the Hungarian milk chain. In a first step a vector error correction model is estimates to assess whether a domestic market for raw milk exists. Since the answer was positive we proceed by developing a structural market model of the Hungarian market for raw milk that is able to identify a possible affect of market power on resource allocation. A nonlinear 3SLS approach was applied to estimate the supply and the demand for raw milk. The results provide that despite the high concentration of in dairy processing the indications for market poser are rather limited. The “Bertrand like” equilibrium can be attributed to the low degree of capacity utilization in dairy processing and the marketing alternative of...

The traditional way of information dissemination has been through people; the modern way is through the electronic media – improved information and communication technologies (ICTs).  For effectiveness, modern ICTs should help women to improve on their income generating capacity.  Issues of level of resource capacity of women, information needed, and current sources of such information become important.  This study sought to investigate the issues above with respect to rural women food producers in the Mfantsiman District of Ghana.  Simple descriptive statistics and econometric models were employed in the data analysis of 91 randomly selected respondents.  The results of the study showed that: In general, the women food producers were aged, subsistence...

ASSESSING THE COST OF BEEF QUALITY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Forristall,   Cody; May,   Gary J.; Lawrence,   John D.
The number of U.S. fed cattle marketed through a value based or grid marketing system is increasing dramatically. Most grids reward Choice or better quality grades and some pay premiums for red meat yield. The Choice-Select (C-S) price spread increased 55 percent, over $3/cwt between 1989-91 and 1999-01. However, there is a cost associated with pursuing these carcass premiums. This paper examines these tradeoffs both in the feedlot and in a retained ownership scenario. Correlations between carcass and performance traits resulted in economic tradeoffs that change across input costs and quality grade premiums and discounts. Feedlot profitability was largely determined by marbling, carcass weight, and feed efficiency. Carcass weight was most important at a...

Assessing the Demand for a Functional Food Product: Is There Cannibalization in the Orange Juice Category?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yuan,   Yan; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.
The demand for functional foods has increased notably in recent years due to growing consumer interest in diet and health issues. Currently, the food industry is introducing many types of new food products with functional attributes. Consequently, cannibalization is a critical issue for firms that offer multiple products within a certain product category. The identification and assessment of cannibalization are integral factors when making strategic decisions about new product introductions. Using scanner data from Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), pertaining to a particular functional food, namely a phytosterol-enriched product for orange juice, we find that no cannibalization effects exist with respect to its introduction. We also provide estimates of...

An Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System is utilized to determine the effectiveness of Market Promotion Program (MPP) and Target Export Assistance (TEA) advertising and promotion expenditures in the Japanese market for meat.  Using annual data, it is found that beef advertising and promotion has had a positive and significant effect on the demand for beef. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that pork and poultry advertising and promotion increased the demand for either commodity.

ASSESSING THE FEASIBILITY OF PROCESSING AND MARKETING NICHE SOY OIL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lence,   Sergio H.; Agarwal,   Sanjeev.
Demand in the marketplace for foods with "“natural”" attributes, such as organic produce, continues to grow. Similarly, interest has developed in creating a technology that allows "physical”" rather than chemical refinement of soybean oil to create a “"natural”" soy oil product. The physical refinement of non-genetically modified (non-GM) soybeans greatly strengthens the marketing claim to natural properties for that product. The oil derived in this manner, designated here as “"niche soy oil,"” and its related inputs (non-GM soybeans) and by-products (high-energy non-GM soy meal) are the objects of our analysis. We find premiums of $0.03 to $0.43 per pound for niche soy oil compared to commodity soy oil. However, our price analysis suggests that only...

Concerns about nutrient loads into our waters have focused attention on poultry litter applications.  Like many states with a large poultry industry, Georgia recently designed a subsidy program to facilitate the transportation of poultry litter out of vulnerable watersheds. This paper uses a transportation model to examine the necessity of a poultry litter subsidy to achieve water protection goals in Georgia. We also demonstrate the relationship between diesel and synthetic fertilizer prices and the value of poultry litter. Results suggest that a well functioning market would be able to remove excess litter from vulnerable watersheds in the absence of a subsidy.

Assessing the Returns from Organic Marketing Channels
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Park,   Timothy A.
Organic farmers face heightened pressure in developing a portfolio of different marketing channels and in bargaining competitively with increasingly sophisticated marketing participants in the supply chain for organic products. This research assists producers by identifying specific farm and demographic factors that enhance earnings given the choice of marketing outlet. The two significant selectivity coefficients confirm that organic earnings when marketing through a single outlet are biased upward since farmers who are better suited to market through multiple outlets have already moved away from this marketing strategy. An accurate evaluation of the projected earnings from any marketing strategy must account for selectivity effects.

We develop measures of technical and allocative efficiency of producers in marketing certified organic products. A stochastic output distance frontier and the associated revenue share equations are estimated using comprehensive U.S. data on certified organic producers. Farm-level measures of technical efficiency are calculated and factors which enhance performance are identified. Factors that systematically influence allocative efficiency are assessed. The revenue mix of organic producers is systematically inefficient as both male and female producers rely too heavily on revenue from organic markets relative to conventional outlets.

The economic reforms in maize marketing and trade policies implemented during the 1990s have been highly controversial, and there remains a lack of solid empirical investigation on the impacts of these reforms on national food security, price stability and rural income growth. This study aims to provide a detailed evidence-based analysis of the impacts of maize marketing and trade policies on smallholder agricultural production growth, access to food by consumers, and other important national policy objectives. These insights from Zambia can hopefully move forward the continuing debate in the region on how maize marketing and trade policies should be structured in the future.

The paper analyzes the problem of asymmetric information between buyers and sellers in cattle auctions. An illustration is made regarding the vaccinations that the animals receive. Buyers do not know and cannot verify if sellers have vaccinated their animals forcing them to consider revaccination. Revaccination is only a part of the broader problem of information asymmetry that includes other quality issues and costs that can be saved, thereby increasing the welfare of both buyers and sellers. Structural characteristics of ranching, traditions and consumers' preferences are taken into account and a wider approach is attempted to explain the persistence of the problem in light of potential institutional solutions. We argue for a comprehensive empirical...

Autores: Marchesini,   Sergio; Huliyeti,   Hasimu; Canavari,   Maurizio; Farneti,   Alessandro.
China’s economy has grown at an impressive rate after the integration into the global trading system (WTO) in 2001, a major turning point in the Chinese economic history. The opening policy has increased business opportunities for both local and foreign operators; however, in spite of the great appeal of such cooperation, many obstacles yet exist: language, culture, education, business practices, and industrial development. Food products supply and access to the market are mastered by a relatively small group of businessmen: international buyers, purchasing agents, retailers and representatives of large-scale distribution chains. The perception they have of a potential source country is a key factor for a successful market approach. The present study aims...

Attributes Preferred and Premiums Offered for Naturally Produced Beef Cattle
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Springer,   Job D.; Biermacher,   Jon T.; Childs,   M. Dan; Alkire,   Deke O.; Grooms,   Brandon.
A growing number of beef cattle producers in the US are using limited information to determine whether or not it would be economical for them to grow naturally produced cattle.  The objective was to discover the attributes that marketing companies prefer for the naturally produced cattle they purchase, and to elicit the price premiums being offered for cattle that possess these attributes.  Results of a phone survey of companies that purchase natural cattle show that 27 out of 32 companies report their willingness to pay a premium of $5.95/cwt for cattle that have never received antibiotics, ionophores, hormones or animal by-products.

Auction Markets for Specialty Food Products with Geographical Indications
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schamel,   Guenter.
We present a first analysis of auction markets for specialty food products. We identify auction prices, trade volume and value for domestic and foreign origin specialty ham with geographical indications (GIs) which were actually sold in online auctions in Germany within a one-month period. Applying hedonic modeling, we examine potential factors that may influence online bidding behavior and final auction prices. We estimate positive auction price effects for weight, bidding activity, and auction length, that the domestic product is sold at a discount, that higher shipping cost have a negative impact on final prices, and that auctions ending on Fridays and Saturdays yield lower prices. The model may be used to estimate the value of GIs. In our example, we...

AUSTRALIAN WHEAT STORAGE: A DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING APPROACH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alaouze,   Chris M.; Sturgess,   Neil H.; Watson,   Alistair S.
Dynamic programming is used to examine whether Australia should store wheat for subsequent sale at higher prices. The dynamic programming model is developed assuming that the demand for Australian wheat is perfectly elastic at the world price. An important consequence of this assumption is that the algorithm used in computing the optimal policy takes a very simple form. It is concluded that interest rate and wheat price in the following season are the major determinants of storage policy. When prices are stable, rule-of-thumb policies, such as storing when prices are below average, are sub-optimal.

A múlt áttekintése, a jelen értékelése és a jövő körvonalai ismét megerősítik azt a megállapítást – amely a rendszerváltás idején is megfogalmazódott –, hogy azok a környezeti (éghajlat, víz, hőmérséklet), történeti, tradicionális (évszázados szakmakultúra), technológiai (új, korszerű rendszerek) előnyök, amelyek a magyar élelmiszer-gazdaság nemzetközi előnyeit alapozták, pillanatok alatt köddé válnak, eltűnnek a nem megfelelő piaci munka, marketingtevékenység hiányosságai miatt. Ezért a jövő élelmiszer-gazdaságának kulcsszerepű eleme a tudatos és szisztematikus marketingstratégia-építés és a közösségi marketingtevékenység állami gondolkodásba történő beépítése.

Az élelmiszer-ipari vállalkozások környezeti teljesítménye és a pénzügyi eredmények

Kutatásunk célja fényt deríteni arra, hogy a vállalkozások környezeti teljesítménye befolyásolja-e pénzügyi teljesítményüket, továbbá az, hogy milyen szerepet játszik ebben a média, hogyan változott az elmúlt időszakban a vállalkozások zöld erőfeszítéseinek megítélése? Megállapítható, hogy azokban a vállalkozásokban, amelyekben a média és a befektetők környezeti teljesítményüket kedvezően ítélik meg, magasabbak a megtérülési (ROE) mutatók, mint azokban, amelyeknek környezeti teljesítményét nem ítélik meg pozitívan. A magyarországi társadalomban a nem anyagi értékek iránti érzékenység és a környezettudatosság alacsony szintű. A társadalmi értékrendben alárendelt szerepet játszó környezetvédelmi gondolkozásra – reklámérték híján – a média mérsékelten hat. Ez...

Az élelmiszerlánc szereplői közötti kapcsolatok hazánkban
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jozsef; Juhasz,   Aniko.
Hazánkban a válság miatt a keresleti oldalról növekedni képtelen piacon a kiskereskedelmi szereplők a kötelező éves növekedést immár csak a piac újraosztásával érhetik el, ami a kiskereskedők között kíméletlen – horizontális – versenyt eredményez. Ennek eszköze az alapvető termékek esetében a minél alacsonyabban tartott ár. Ezért a kereskedelmi láncok és beszállítóik kapcsolata vegyes képet mutat. A nagy, tőkeerős, elsősorban nemzetközi élelmiszer-feldolgozók és mezőgazdasági beszállítók számára még így is jövedelmező lehet a kereskedelmi láncok által biztosított széles körű piaci jelenlét. Ezzel szemben a hazai szinten nagy, de nem elég tőkeerős hazai beszállítók alkupozíciója rendkívül kényes, számukra még veszteség mellett is létkérdés a kereskedelmi...

A magyar szőlő-bor ágazat fejlődését alapvetően befolyásolja a Közösségi Borpiaci Reform kapcsán megváltozó új jogi szabályozás, mely három új, egységes borkategóriát vezet be az Európai Unióban. A Balatoni Borrégió termelési szerkezetéből megállapítható, hogy borainak 99%-a földrajzi árujelzőkkel kerül forgalomba. Ezen árujelzők jövőbeli használatához termékleírás elkészítése kötelező. A termékleírás elkészítése felveti a jelenleg használt földrajzi árujelzők régiós elvek szerinti újragondolását. A „Balatoni” kategóriát oltalom alatt álló földrajzi jelzős termékkategóriává alakítva biztosítható lenne a – termelők nagy részének nagyfokú önállósága melletti – régiós borkategória.

Autores: Fonsah,   Esendugue Greg; Krewer,   Gerard; Rieger,   Mark.
North America is the largest net importer of bananas on a regional basis. The United States is still the world’'s number- one importer and consumer of bananas. U.S. companies spend approximately $1.1 billion each year on banana imports, purchasing 31.1% of total world imports (Fonsah 2002; FAO 2001). Bananas and plantains together have been rated the fourth most important crop in the world in terms of food value and food security. This research is aimed at determining the feasibility and suitability of Annual Cropping Production (ACP) for a niche market under Georgia weather conditions and, determining which cultivars have the greatest potential for ornamental-landscape use and ornamental-nursery production.

Banana Trials: A Potential Niche and Ethnic Market in Georgia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fonsah,   Esendugue Greg; Krewer,   Gerard; Wallace,   Richard; Mullinix,   Ben.
Annual cropping production (ACP) is a technique used worldwide to target favorable market conditions. This technique has allowed commercial banana production outside the traditional production belt such as South Africa, Thailand, Israel, and China. In 2003 an evaluation of thirty-three cultivars was initiated near Savannah, Georgia to determine their suitability for ornamental, nursery, and ACP for niche/ethnic markets under Georgia weather conditions. In South Georgia and other temperate regions around the world, the pseudostems are normally killed to ground level during most winters. However, excellent plant growth rate, good flowering, and limited commercial fruit production was observed. Identifying one or more cultivars with potential to produce...

Bargaining rationale for cooperative generic advertising
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Crespi,   John M.; James,   Jennifer S.
The beggar-thy-neighbour aspect of commodity advertising means that benefits to one commodity from advertising come at the expense of other commodities. The effect can be mitigated by cooperation among groups as shown by Alston, Freebairn and James (AFJ). A drawback to AFJ’s analysis is that some cooperative outcomes require side payments from one producer group to another. This paper offers a bargaining solution as an alternative to cooperation in the case where cooperative side payments would be needed. We show that while bargaining without side payments is not as effective as cooperation at reducing beggar-thy-neighbour effects, it is a welfare improving alternative to non-cooperation and is likely more practical in many situations.

BASIS RISK AND HEDGING STRATEGIES FOR AUSTRALIAN WHEAT EXPORTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bond,   Gary E.; Thompson,   Stanley R.; Geldard,   Jane M.
Basis risk can play a significant role in the determination of effective hedging strategies. In this paper a portfolio framework is developed to examine the effect of basis risk on hedging strategies for Australian wheat exports. Monthly data for the period 1977 to 1984 were used to implement the analytical framework. While the traditional definition of hedging implies a hedge ratio of unity, the results of this research show that the average ratio of optimal hedge to stockholding is well below unity. Evolving market conditions can also cause the optimal hedge ratio to vary substantially over time.

Basis risk has been cited as a primary concern for implementing weather hedges. This study investigates several dimensions of weather basis risk for the U.S. corn market at various levels of aggregation. The results suggest that while the degree of geographic basis risk may be significant in some instances, it should not preclude the use of geographic cross-hedging. In addition, the degree to which geographic basis risk impedes effective hedging diminishes as the level of spatial aggregation increases. In fact, geographic basis risk is actually negative in the case most representative of a reinsurance hedge, and the reduction in risk from employing straightforward temperature derivatives is significant. Finally, precipitation hedges are found to introduce...

Agrifood markets worldwide have focused on searching for new quality attribute differentiators, which capture the attention of consumers and meet their needs. The purpose of this research was to determine the importance of a set of quality attribute differentiators associated with a beef cut on the choice behavior of the Chilean consumer. The evaluated differentiating characteristics were: price, origin, production method, and quality assurance. A total of 750 subjects were surveyed in the following cities: Talca, Rancagua, and Santiago. Conjoint analysis was carried out to estimate the impact of the assessed attributes on the purchase decision of the consumers polled.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lonergan,   Steven.
The U.S. beef industry has many reasons for optimism about the potential for increasing beef and beef variety meat exports to China. China'’s recent accession to the World Trade Organization lowers tariff rates on imported beef muscle meats and variety meats, low per capita consumption among Chinese consumers means there is good potential for increased consumption, and increasing incomes will allow consumers to purchase more beef. In addition, the Chinese market is highly complementary to the U.S. domestic market and offers potential for additional exports of beef cuts and variety meats that are underutilized in the United States. Observations from a recent trip to China offer insight into the current and potential market for U.S. beef.

Beef Producer Choice in Cattle Marketing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gillespie,   Jeffrey M.; Basarir,   Aydin; Schupp,   Alvin R.
In addition to the conventional auction method of cattle marketing, some alternative marketing arrangements include sale by private treaty, video auction, retained ownership, and use of strategic alliances. This study finds that 91% of Louisiana producers use conventional auctions, while 39% use other types of marketing arrangements. The most heavily used alternative marketing arrangement is private treaty, at 26%. Those producers using alternative marketing arrangements tend to be larger, have heavier weaning weights, have more diverse farming operations, be younger, have greater contact with their county extension agents, and depend less on income from off-farm sources.

Before the Bricks and Mortar: A Case Study of a New Generation Cooperative’s Planning Process
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Holcomb,   Rodney B.; Kenkel,   Philip L.
To generate additional income for their members, many cooperatives consider forward integrating into processing activities. However, many market, industry, and economic issues must be considered before choosing a value-added processing activity to pursue. Gathering the necessary information to evaluate various processing opportunities is a considerable undertaking and may require the expertise of university personnel, economic development specialists, and possibly professional consultants. Using an Oklahoma new generation cooperative case study, this paper outlines a market assessment process for value-added ventures.

Beggar-Thy-Self Advertising: A Multi-Market Model of Generic Promotion for Dairy Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Balagtas,   Joseph Valdes; Kim,   Sounghun.
We develop a multi-market equilibrium displacement model that allows for demand linkages (substitutes or complements) across downstream product markets, and supply linkages through the common use of a raw commodity as the key input.  Applying the model to the dairy sector, we find that the effectiveness of producer-funded advertising, and thus optimal advertising intensities, depends on the demand relationships across dairy product markets (cross-price and cross-advertising elasticities), as well as the re-allocation of raw milk towards the advertised market.  We argue that the previous literature, which ignores the horizontal linkages highlighted here, tends to overstate the effectiveness of generic commodity promotion for dairy, and thus results in too...

Beyond Credence:  Emerging Consumer Trends in International Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cuthbertson,   Bron; Marks,   Nicki.
This paper presents the findings of research on emerging global trends in consumer food preferences with credence attributes. Credence qualities cannot be evaluated in normal use. Instead the assessment of their value requires information sought through the search and experience of a product (Darbi &amp; Karni, 1973). Key trends identified were Health and wellness foods, environmentally sustainable and ethical food production. Key drivers for these trends are corporate social responsibility, media, obesity, technology, an aging population and consumers' environmental attitudes. Conditions to operate in this market are traceability, food safety, trust, accreditation, labeling and branding.

BID-ASK SPREADS IN COMMODITY FUTURES MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bryant,   Henry L.; Haigh,   Michael S.
Issues of recent interest and controversy regarding bid-ask spreads in commodity futures markets are investigated.  First we apply competing spread estimators to open outcry transactions data and compare resulting estimates to observed spreads. This enables market microstructure researchers, regulators, exchange officials, and traders the opportunity to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of bid-ask estimators in markets that do not report bid and ask data, providing an idea of the "worst-case" transaction costs that are likely to be incurred.  We also compare spreads observed before and after trading was automated (and made anonymous) on commodity futures markets, and discover that spreads have generally widened since trading was automated, and that they...

Bid-Ask Spreads, Volume, and Volatility: Evidence from Livestock Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Frank,   Julieta; Garcia,   Philip.
Understanding the determinants of liquidity costs in agricultural futures markets is hampered by a need to use proxies for the bid-ask spread which are often biased, and by a failure to account for a jointly determined micro-market structure. We estimate liquidity costs and its determinants for the live cattle and hog futures markets using alternative liquidity cost estimators, intraday prices and micro-market information. Volume and volatility are simultaneously determined and significantly related to the bid-ask spread. Daily volume is negatively related to the spread while volatility and volume per transaction display positive relationships. Electronic trading has a significant competitive effect on liquidity costs, particularly in the live cattle...

BIDDING ON RAILCARS FOR GRAIN: A STRATEGIC ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   William W.; Dahl,   Bruce L.
Many of the U.S. railroads have introduced highly differentiated services for grain shipments in recent years, generally in the area of forward guaranteed car service.  Taken together with other alternatives, these mechanisms have had the effect of establishing priority allocations among shippers.  In most cases, pricing and allocation of these services has been with some type of bidding mechanisms.  This paper explores the economic implications of these mechanisms on the grain shipping industry.  A model was developed to identify factors affecting the value of these services and was analyzed in the context of a typical midwestern grain shipment.  A game theory model of competitive bidding was also developed to analyze the effects of critical strategic...

Biodiesel and vegetable oil market in European Union: some evidences from threshold cointegration analysis

Autores: Peri,   Massimo; Baldi,   Lucia.
In this paper we analyse the long-run relationships between vegetable oils prices and conventional diesel price in EU during the period 2005- 2007. We utilise recent developments on threshold cointegration approach to investigate if asymmetric dynamic adjusting processes exist among rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil and diesel prices. The results suggest that the two-regime threshold cointegration model exist only in favour of rapeseed oil-diesel price pair. Therefore, this vegetable oil price adjusts rapidly to its long run equilibrium, determined by fossil diesel prices, in an asymmetric manner when the divergence between the two prices is above a critical threshold. Consequently, rapeseed oil seems to be particularly exposed to exogenous shocks...

Brand Equity in the Australian domestic beef market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Eastburn,   Mark; Morrison,   Mark.
Branding remains in a fairly nascent state within the Australian domestic beef market. Several brands have begun to emerge in recent years including Certified Angus, 1824, Hereford Prime, Stockyard Beef and Diamantina. However, these primarily cater for restaurant rather than household trade. This contrasts with other countries, such as the US, where branded beef makes up a large proportion of the domestic market. Using random parameter logit models we examine the willingness of consumers to pay for one type of branded beef, as well specific beef attributes, in a regional area of NSW. We find that there is evidence that segments of the population would be willing to pay for branded beef. The value of the brand is related to several sociodemographic...

Branded Product Marketing Strategies in the Cottage Cheese Market: Cooperative versus Proprietary Firms
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Haller,   Lawrence E.
This paper examines structural and strategic factors affecting price determination in the branded cottage cheese industry.  Special emphasis is placed on the presence and conduct of cottage cheese brands marketed by dairy cooperatives.  The data examined in this study cover cottage cheese sales in 47 markets for the fourth quarter of 1988.  We find evidence supporting the premise that market power is being exercise in the cottage cheese market.  One of the strongest influences of the price of cottage cheese is the extent of market penetration of the brand.  Brands' prices rise with an increase in the price of private label cottage cheese.  We also find strong evidence that cooperatives are not exercising market power.  Cooperatives charge a lower price...

Branding in the red meat sector - A conjoint study from Germany

Autores: Lueth,   Maren; Spiller,   Achim; Schramm,   Matthias.
During the last years, low price products (e.g., private label) gain increasing market shares in the German meat market. Compared to other countries the share of branded meat from integrated production chains is very low and most fresh meat is sold unlabelled. This study analyzes the advantages of brands from an information economic perspective and emphasizes branding as an important quality assurance and signaling tool. As brand exte nsions offer the opportunity to introduce brands to new markets at much lower costs we examine the brand transfer from the poultry to the red meat market taking Wiesenhof, the German brand leader for chicken and poultry, as an example. We use conjoint and cluster analysis to calculate willingness to pay and market shares for...

Speci…cally, the proce- dures allow consistent estimation of the number of structural breaks in the trend function as well as facilitate the distinction between trend breaks and pure level shifts. In comparison with past studies, we …nd fewer cases of commodities that display negative trends thereby weakening the case for the Prebisch-Singer Hypoth- esis. Finally, a new set of powerful unit root tests allowing for structural breaks under both the null and alternative hypotheses is applied to determine whether the underlying commodity price...

This study has aims i.e. (1) to investigate the role of inherent personal knowledge in affecting trust, (2) to investigate whether mavens play a role in improving recipient’s knowledge level and trust. We have conducted a study, which involved a total of 134 students as respondents. Correlation between subjective knowledge and trust achieved a medium level, while objective knowledge related to trust at a very low level. Trust in the low-maven-group is the lowest in comparison with the medium- and high- mavens. This study indicates that there are different results in terms of effects of information provided by three different maven groups.

Building producer loyalty in Malaysia's fresh milk supply chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boniface,   Bonaventure; Gyau,   Amos; Stringer,   Randy; Umberger,   Wendy J.
The paper presents results from a survey of 133 dairy producers in Malaysia, and identifies how Malaysian milk buyers can build a loyal customer base with their suppliers as a means to secure uninterrupted milk supplies. A structural equation model was conducted to test the conceptual model using AMOS 17.0 software. The results show that whereas timely and collaborative communication, price satisfaction and cultural fit influence positively suppliers’ contractual and competence trust in their buyers, power dependency negatively influences competence trust. Furthermore, suppliers’ trust in their buyers will eventually lead to loyalty. The principal implication is that milk processors and other buyers need to engage in collaborative communication with the...

Building trust in agri-food chains: the mediating role of effective communication

Using recent survey data (n = 1,430) on trust levels in agri-food supplier-buyer relationships in six different European countries, two commodity chains (meat and cereals) and two chain stages (farmer-processor and processor-retailer), main determinants of trust are identified and discussed.  The structural equation modelling estimation results indicate that trust can be significantly improved by effective communication and by a positive collaboration experience.  The existence of personal bonds does not seem to play a direct role in the retailer-processor relationship but is important when dealing with farmers.  In both chain stages a positive collaboration experience as well the existence of personal bonds also indirectly enhance trust by promoting...

Buyer Market Power and Vertically Differentiated Retailers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Shinn-Shyr; Rojas,   Christian; Lavoie,   Nathalie.
We consider a model of vertical competition where downstream firms (retailers) purchase an upstream input from a monopolist and are able to differentiate from each other in terms of quality. Our primary focus is to study the effects of introducing a large retailer, such as a Wal-Mart Supercenter, that is able to lower wholesale prices (i.e. buyer market power). We obtain two main results. First, the store with no buyer market power responds to the presence of the large retailer by increasing its quality, a finding that is consistent with recent efforts by traditional retailers to enhance shoppers’ buying experience (i.e. quality). Second, the presence of a large retailer causes consumer welfare to increase. There are, however, two reasons for the increase...

BUYER POWER THROUGH PRODUCER'S DIFFERENTIATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chambolle,   Claire; Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto.
This paper shows that retailers may choose to offer products differentiated in quality to consumers, not to relax downstream competition, but to improve their buyer power in the negotiation with their supplier. We consider a simple vertical industry where two producers sell products differentiated in quality to two retailers who operate in separated markets. In the game, first retailers choose which product to carry, then each retailer and her chosen producer bargain over the terms of a two-part tariff contract and retailers finally choose the quantities. When upstream production costs are convex, the share of the total profits going to the retailer would be higher if they choose to differentiate. We thus isolate the wish to differentiate as "only" due to...

This research evaluates the impact of adopting a time-to-expiration approach, as compared to the more common calendar approach, when forecasting feeder cattle, live cattle, and hog basis.  Furthermore, the optimal number of past year's basis levels to include in making basis predictions is evaluated in an out-of-sample framework.

This article uses monthly price data to estimate farm-retail price response equations for three California market areas. The results indicate that there is a strong direct relationship between retail and farm-level milk prices-retailers increase and decrease their prices equally in response to f.o.b. price increases and decreases. While the total retail response to farm price increases and decreases is equal, the timing of the adjustments is not. Farm price increases during a given month led to retail price increases during the same month while farm price decreases were not fully reflected in retail prices until the following month.

We hypothesize that quality signals improve over time with the quality performance of a wine producer, and that spillovers will affect other producers within the same region. For this purpose, we estimate a hedonic pricing model for premium California wine. Data source is the annual publication "California Wine Winners" accumulated over the judging years 1990-2001. Quality indicators for 19,583 wines are medals awarded during nine annual wine competitions, variety, regional origin, judging age as well as derived producer (brand) and regional reputation indicators. The data confirms that a wine's  price is related to its own quality and to producer/regional reputation for quality.

We also control for regional origin, variety, color, and age. To discern the impact of ownership structure, we distinguish cooperatives and private wineries. Silver and Bronze awards show significant price effects relative to Gold. We also estimate highly significant price effects between quality categories (e.g....

Can Rank-Order Tournaments Improve Efficiency of Quality Differentiated Crop Markets Under Marketing Loan Program Operation?  The Case of U.S. Peanuts.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nadolnyak,   Denis A.; Fletcher,   Stanley M.; Revoredo-Giha,   Cesar.
In the paper, alternative contractual arrangements between crop producers and processors are evaluated with a view of addressing the major issues present in peanut markets in the U.S., the major EU supplier of high quality peanuts. The issues are the thinness of the spot markets and the absence of quality premiums, both of which impair market efficiency. Results indicate that introducing contracts with a system of quality differentials creates incentives for producer self-selection to participate in the post harvest cash market. Moreover, in the presence of  sufficiently high common production risk, tournament contracts are more efficient and preferred by the producers than the standard fixed premium schedules.

CAN SPOT AND CONTRACT MARKETS CO-EXIST IN AGRICULTURE?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carriquiry,   Miguel A.; Babcock,   Bruce A.
New production technologies, consumers who are more discriminating, and the need for improved coordination are among the forces driving the move from spot markets to contracts. Some worry that this tendency will result in the disappearance of spot markets, or at least that they will become too thin to be of help for an efficient price discovery process. Other authors point to the reduction in welfare of independent producers resulting from contracting in oligopsonistic industries. While a large body of literature is available tackling the contract versus spot market decision, much less is known about the reasons that lead to procurement in both markets. This paper provides a simple model to study how fundamental economic factors influence the contracting...

CAN STRUCTURAL CHANGE EXPLAIN CHANGES IN RETURNS TO TECHNICAL ANALYSIS?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kidd,   Willis V.; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
Returns to managed futures funds and Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) have decreased dramatically during the last several years. Since these funds overwhelmingly use technical analysis, this research examines futures prices to determine if there is evidence of a structural change in futures price movements that could explain the reduction in fund returns. Bootstrap tests are used to test significance of a change in statistics related to daily returns, close-to-open changes, breakaway gaps, and serial correlation. Results indicate that several statistics have changed across a broad range of commodities indicating futures price fluctuations have changed. The lower price volatility, decreased price reaction time, and decreased serial correlation may partly...

Canadian Chicken Industry: Consumer Preferences, Industry Structure and Producer Benefits from Investment in Research and Advertising
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goddard,   Ellen W.; Shank,   Benjamin; Panter,   Chris; Nilsson,   Tomas K.H.; Cash,   Sean B.
The Canadian chicken industry has operated under supply management since the mid-1970s. Canadian consumer preferences for chicken have grown dramatically since then possibly in response to concerns about health and the levels of fat and cholesterol in red meats. However Canadian consumers are also looking for convenience with their food purchases. Canadians are buying their chicken in frozen further processed forms, fresh by cut without skin and bone and in a variety of other different ways reflecting their unique willingness to pay for various attributes. There is also an increasing trend for retailers and processors to brand the fresh chicken product sold through grocery stores (for example, Maple Leaf Prime). The preferences Canadian consumer have for...

CAPTIVE SUPPLY TRENDS AND IMPACTS SINCE THE ADVENT OF MANDATORY PRICE REPORTING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.; Hornung,   Jonathan T.
Captive supplies have been a contentious issue in the livestock industry for fifteen years and the subject of both theoretical and empirical research. In 2001, mandatory price reporting was implemented. One objective by its proponents was to increase the amount of information available on captive supplies. This paper examines data now available as a result of mandatory price reporting to determine what additional information is available compared to previously. Second, several models were specified and estimated to determine the impacts captive supplies had on fed cattle prices in the two years following implementation of mandatory price reporting. Models showed mixed results. There was a consistent negative effect on cash market prices from formula priced...

CAPTURING VALUE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN: THE CASE OF HIGH OLEIC ACID SOYBEANS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Darroch,   Mark A.G.; Akridge,   Jay T.; Boehlje,   Michael.
The oil produced from high oleic acid soybeans (HOS) offers benefits to both consumers and food manufacturers.  It is lower in saturated fat and more heat-stable than commodity-grade soybean oil.  Optimum Quality Grains L.L.C. is working with seed distributors, elevators, and crushers across the Midwestern U.S. to develop a new supply chain which keeps the HOS and the resulting oil separate (identity preserved (IP)) from commodity-grade soybean oil.  This case illustrates the challenges and key issues facing three players - an agricultural inputs dealer, a grain elevator, and a soybean crusher - that must decide whether to join the new supply chain as the HOS research commercialization.  The case can be used to create a discussion about how each player can...

Whitemouth croaker Micropogonias furnieri fishery  during three intensive fishing seasons in the outer area of the La Plata River (Argentina-Uruguay) is analyzed. Resource exploitation in the South Atlantic area shows a general retraction of the distribution range and an isolation of the La Plata River stock where most of the fishing effort concentrates. The species market evolution brought about, for Argentina and Uruguay, an important shift in its dynamics as of 1992, when the product insertion in Asiatic markets generated an important commercial attraction and a subsequent increase in the fishing effort by the argentine inshore coastal fleet. This caused a change in the fishery development in Argentina and the establishment, in winter, of a fleet...

Carcass Quality Volume and Grid Pricing: An Investigation of Cause and Effect
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing.
The relationship between publically reported weekly grid premiums and discounts for specific carcass characteristics and the percentage of those characteristics reflected in total weekly slaughter volume (i.e., proportional slaughter volume) is investigated.  Granger Causality and multi-lag VAR models were used to investigate if grid premiums and discounts were efficiently transmitting market signals to producers with respect to carcass quality attributes.  The empirical evidence indicates that there is little evidence to suggest that grid prices are providing efficient price signals to buyers and sellers with respect to market valuation of desirable and undesirable beef carcass characteristics.

CARICOM’s COMPETITIVENESS WITHIN THE US IMPORT MARKET FOR SPECIALTY CROPS: A SHIFT-SHARE ANALYSIS

This paper is based on the premise that if CARICOM’s agricultural sector in general, and more specifically the export sub-sector, is to thrive in the rapidly changing trade environment there has to be a continuous systematic assessment of market opportunities and competitiveness status.  Such an assessment however, requires a clear understanding of the multifaceted concept of competitiveness and its major determinants.  This paper seeks to contribute to the regional discussion of competitiveness, through the exploration of the theoretical and empirical dimensions of the concept within the context of CARICOM’s export of specialty crops to the United States.  The paper uses a methodology heavily based on the Module to Analyze the Growth of International...

Cartel Pricing with Entry: the Experience of the Far West Marketing Order for Spearmint
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Balagtas,   Joseph Valdes; Masters,   William J.; Zimmer,   Timothy.
This paper documents the remarkable experience of the Far West mint producers in the operation of their marketing order.  From 1993 to 2002, the marketing order witnessed a dramatic reduction its share of the Scotch spearmint market, as well as a reduction in both its price.   We apply a model of a cartel facing a competitive fringe to describe the fall in the marketing order price as a logical consequence of increased world production of spearmint oil.  We estimate an econometric model of the marketing order price and find that a 1-percent change in the marketing order's market share corresponds to a 0.8 percent change in the marketing order price.

CASH AND FUTURES PRICE RELATIONSHIPS FOR NONSTORABLE COMMODITIES:  AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS USING A GENERAL THEORY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Naik,   Gopal; Leuthold,   Raymond M.
Empirical analysis examines the presence of basis risk, speculative component, and expected maturity basis component in basis relationships for nonstorable commodities. The results indicate that all three above components exist in both cattle and hog markets. The basis risk and speculative components vary across contracts. Hog markets showed seasonality, which helps explain the hog basis more accurately. Flexibility in making the marketing decision strengthens the explanation of intertemporal price relationships for both cattle and hogs beyond that previously attributed to only feed prices.

Increased use of alternative fuels and low commodity prices have contributed to the recent expansion of the ethanol industry.  As with any competitive industry, there exists some level of output price risk in the form of volatility.  Yet, no actively traded ethanol futures market exists to transfer output price risk to.  This study reports estimated minimum variance cross-hedge ratios between Michigan spot cash ethanol and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) unleaded gasoline futures for 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, and 24-week hedging periods.  The research yields two results.  First, the appropriate quantity of ethanol to hedge with one 42,000 NYMEX unleaded gasoline futures contract for each respective hedging period is realized.

Cash flow risk ratio: An aid to marketing decisions

Autores: Geyser,   Mariette.
In the past, the fully regulated marketing environment allowed producers to neglect or ignore the marketing side of their business. Now, with an open marketing system and increased volatility in the commodity markets, producers will have the right and the responsibility to determine their own financial security. One of the most difficult questions for producers to answer, is how much of his/her crop must be pre-harvest marketed. Knowing his/her production costs (both variable and fixed) and range of acceptable production, price, and financial risks are the key to determining his/her price objective. Producers can determine their degree of marketing flexibility by using the cash flow risk ratio. This ratio predicts what percentage of the projected crop must...

CASH FORWARD CONTRACTING VERSUS HEDGING OF FED CATTLE, AND THE IMPACT OF CASH CONTRACTING ON CASH PRICES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Elam,   Emmett W.
This research examines cash forward contracting of fed cattle. For an individual feeder, a cash contract eliminates basis risk (as compared to a futures hedge). However, the disadvantage is that the contract price is estimated to be lower than the futures hedge price by $.28 - $.59/ cwt for steers and $.86 - $1.64.cwt for heifers. From the industry perspective, contracting appears to have a negative impact on cash prices. An increase of 1,000 head in U.S. monthly contract cattle shipments is associated with a $.003—$.009/cwt decrease in the U.S. average cash price. The negative impact of cash contracting varies by state.

Autores: Karlson,   Nicholas; Anderson,   Brad; Dahl,   Reynold P.
This study analyzes the role of futures markets in corn marketing decisions.  Besides price discovery and price-risk management, hedging in the futures market facilitates a return to corn storage.  First, the seasonality in corn marketings and prices is examined.  Second, the seasonality of the difference between cash and futures prices, the basis, is analyzed.  Understanding the basis is important because it is a useful guide for decisions on corn storage and sale.  Finally, several corn marketing strategies are developed and analyzed.  Cash corn prices at Clarkfield, Minnesota, and futures prices on the Chicago Board of Trade are used in the analysis.

CASH MARKET OR CONTRACT? HOW TECHNOLOGY AND CONSUMER DEMAND INFLUENCE THE DECISION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dimitri,   Carolyn; Jaenicke,   Edward C.
The use of contracts for producing and marketing agricultural commodities has become nearly universal in some sectors. Two factors are most frequently cited as being responsible for the use of agricultural contracts. The first, a demand-side factor, is the development of strong consumer preferences for specific qualities. The second, a supply-side factor, is technological change.  In this paper, we use a principal agent framework to model how consumer demand and technology enter into a firm's decision to use contracts or the cash market.

CASH MARKETING STYLES AND PERFORMANCE PERSISTENCE OF WHEAT PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cunningham,   Lewis T., III; Brorsen,   B. Wade; Anderson,   Kim B.
Years of research have been dedicated to determining the best time for producers to sell their commodities. Researchers have developed basis models, market efficiency tests, hedging/risk models, price forecasting models, and many other models in an attempt to help producers. There is a vast amount of material on how economists believe that a rational producer should act and react in the market place. However, there is little research on how producers actually sell commodities. This paper first measures the extent to which producers display an active or mechanical marketing style using individual farmer sales. Next, tests of performance persistence are conducted to determine if there is any advantage to an active marketing style. The results show that...

Cash Wheat Marketing: Strategies for Real People
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Anderson,   Kim B.
A new paradigm is needed in extension marketing programs. Attempts to help producers time the market, either through cask sales or futures trading, appear to be of little benefit. Marketing extension programs need to place less emphasis on outlook and futures trading and more emphasis on simple marketing strategies that people really use. An empirical example of strategies for Oklahoma wheat producers shows selling cash wheat at harvest and participating in government programs as the preferred marketing strategy.  Implications for extension programs in other states are that extension programs can help producers decide whether to store their grain and whether to participate in farm programs.

Specialty food aficionados, who use the Internet to gather information or place orders, resemble those who rely on mail order catalogs, except for being younger.  Both groups are well- educated, wealthy, and frequent specialty food buyers.  Among those studied, nearly all of the Internet users have considered shopping by catalog, half had used the Internet in the previous six months, and about 10 percent had actually purchased specialty food or beverages online.  While preferring traditional retail shopping, this group views catalog and online shopping as substitutes.  When choosing to shop via either of these options, product quality and uniqueness are most important; shipping costs and price are least important. These conclusions are based on a survey...

Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG's) and Error Correction Models (ECM's) are employed to analyze questions of price discovery between spatially separated commodity markets and the transportation market linking them together.  Results from our analysis suggest these markets are highly interconnected but it is the inland commodity market that is strongly influenced by both the transportation and commodity export markets. However, the commodity markets affect the volatility of the transportation market over longer horizons.  Our results suggest that transportation rates are critical in the price discovery process lending support for the recent development of exchange traded barge rate futures contracts.

Autores: Bryant,   Henry L.; Bessler,   David A.; Haigh,   Michael S.
This research investigates various unresolved issues regarding futures markets, using formal methods appropriate for inferring causal relationships from observational data when some relevant quantities are hidden.  We find no evidence supporting the generalized version of Keynes's theory of normal backwardation.  We find no evidence supporting theories that predict that the level of activity of speculators or uninformed traders affects the level of price volatility, either positively or negatively.  Our evidence strongly supports the mixture of distribution hypothesis (MDH) that trading volume and price volatility have one or more latent common causes, resulting in their positive correlation.

Innovation at the consumption (retail) end of the food supply chain warrants attention similar to that devoted to knowledge transfer at the production (farming) end of the chain.

Cereal Marketing and Household Market Participation in Ethiopia: The Case of Teff, Wheat and Rice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gebremedhin,   Berhanu; Hoekstra,   Dirk.
Teff, wheat and rice are becoming important market oriented crops in Ethiopia. This study aims at analyzing the market participation of farm households, market actors, market channels and determinants of household market participation for these crops. Results are based on analysis of data collected from community and household surveys in three districts in three regional states of the country in 2005. Analysis of descriptive information and econometric analysis are used. About 65 - 77% of households produce these market oriented commodities, on about 27 – 44% of the total cultivated area. About 47 – 60% of the produce of these market oriented commodities is sold.  The important market places for producers of these commodities are the district town markets...

Certification as an upgrading strategy for small-scale farmers and their cooperatives : a value chain analysis for Nicaraguan coffee
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kiemen,   Anna; Beuchelt,   Tina.
For many small producers in developing countries coffee is a major income source. However, the coffee market is characterized by high price volatility and increased power concentration among buyers in consuming countries. Due to the very low international coffee prices during the recent coffee crisis and an increased demand among consumers for healthy and ethical products as well as for high quality, interest in standards and certification has increased substantially in coffee producing and consuming countries. Responding to the demand for differentiated products and accessing these new and potentially more profitable markets is especially challenging for poor small-scale farmers in developing countries. Although certification schemes and standards are...

Certification of Pork Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nilsson,   Tomas K.H.; Foster,   Kenneth A.
The objective of this paper is to provide insights on the welfare distributional impact on consumer and producer welfare resulting from the development and implementation of a credence certification program in the U.S. pork sector. The certification program can provide various levels of tracking and tracing in the marketing chain. The modeling framework follows that of Nilsson (2005), which encompasses product differentiation and substitution across meat products at the consumer level and across live animal types at the farm level. Processors and retailers have potentially bilateral market power and can supply either or both certified and conventional meat products. One of the key findings is that while as the conventional market contracts and the...

Challenge to SME to Survive in Food Dynamic Markets: Innovation and Efficient Networks
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Briz,   Julian; de Felipe,   Isabel.
The EU food entrepreneurs are facing dramatic changes in the competition arena. Globalization and liberalization processes are offering cheaper food products in international markets, either from countries with better comparative advantages or with more efficient marketing strategies. At the same time, food markets are in a process of continuous segmentation and changes. Consumers are located in different niches, according to socio-demographic variables, cultures and traditions. Some of them respond to price changes while others are more concerned with quality control and food safety. It is on this segment where typical products, traceability and denominations of origin have significant values. SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) have to survive on this...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Pennings,   Joost M.E.
We propose a conceptual model that integrates transaction cost and risk behavior theories in an interdependence framework. Hypotheses are offered that relate the concepts that are central to the proposed model to the three dimensions of channel structures: the allocations of uncertainty, decision rights, and gains. An empirical research design is proposed to test the validity of the conceptual model within the context of the broiler and grain industries. The conceptual model will be validated in a structural equation modeling framework.

Autores: Matoti,   Bongiswa; Vink,   Nick; Bienabe,   Estelle.
The rise of supermarkets, together with large-scale food manufacturers, has deeply transformed agri-food markets in many countries. This expansion has been evident in South Africa as well. Increasing attention has been and is being paid to the growth of supermarkets in countries outside of North America and Europe. Numerous studies have been carried out in developing countries, including South Africa. However, these studies, while identifying the growth of supermarkets and the changes in supply chains, notably downstream, that have been caused by this growth, have made relatively little progress in documenting the impacts at producer level and in identifying issues that need to be addressed. There is a special need for studies on how farmers and supporting...

With the 2008 EU’s CAP reform the governance of the EU’s dairy sector changes. This paper focuses on governance structures between dairy farms and milk processors. To get insight in regional differences within the EU, a literature research and interviews are conducted in three case study areas, namely: the Netherlands, Bulgaria and France. Results show that in these countries both farmers and processors have incentives to form hybrid governance structures with a higher level of control compared to the current structures. Most dairy cooperatives have no additional advantage in managing milk quality and milk supply compared to investor owned firms. Chain integration could go a step further in Bulgaria compared to the Netherlands and France given the...

The paper analyses the current differentiation strategies in the market for fresh produce. First a short review of the literature on channel structure and product differentiation is presented, in order to identify, on a theoretical grounding the incentives for differentiation strategies. Second, a case study is drawn of a UK channel intermediary organisation carrying out differentiation policies in the fresh produce category (on behalf of UK multiple retailer customers’) supplied by a dedicated Italian grower. Results show that in the fresh produce industry there is room for product differentiation, but with contradictory welfare effects.

China’s Agricultural Modernisation Program: an assessment of its sustainability and impacts in the case of the high-value beef chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Waldron,   Scott A.; Brown,   Colin G.; Longworth,   John W.
China has embarked on a major program to modernise agricultural and agribusiness structures with far reaching implications for rural development, international competitiveness / trade and food safety. There are, however, few studies that examine in detail how the modernisation program has proceeded, its’ sustainability and impacts. This paper aims to provide such as assessment through a series of integrated budget analyses of participants in the modern, high value beef chain. The paper concludes that rather than attempting to skip development phases by fast-tracking the development of modern structures in high-value agrifood chains, China should pursue a more incremental and facilitative approach based around developing structures in mid-value agrifood...

CHINA'S FOOD AND AGRICULTURE: ISSUES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Provedor de dados: 31
China's impact on world agricultural markets in coming decades will depend on many factors. Growing income and transition to modern urban lifestyles will increase demand for all foods, but demand will shift toward meat and high-value products. WTO accession may increase openness of China's agricultural trade and allow more imports. An understanding of geographic variations of consumption, production, trade, and policy is critical to understanding the vast China market. Development of transportation infrastructure and market channels will make it easier for food products to reach consumers. China's approach to biotechnology and its reform of institutions for allocating land, labor, and water inputs have important implications for agricultural productive...

This paper reports on findings of a study to examine the sources used by farmers in search of agricultural information on striga and/or stemborers control technologies and factors that influence acquisition of such information in Western Kenya region. A random sample of 476 households in Suba and Vihiga districts were interviewed and 15 information pathways were identified.  Using principle component analysis (PCA) to derive few latent variables that encapsulate maximum variance in the pathways, two components (latent variables) proxying for ‘agricultural knowledge’ were extracted.

COINTEGRATION ANALYSIS OF UNBIASED EXPECTATIONS IN THE BIFFEX FREIGHT FUTURES MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Haigh,   Michael S.
The continued survival of the Baltic International Freight Futures Exchange (BIFFEX), based at the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE), has come as a surprise to many critics of this unique futures market (the only futures contract on a service). The level of trading activity remains low and the number of players limited, and as a result, this has disappointed advocates of the use of derivatives in the shipping market. Therefore, in an effort to explain, at least partially, the reasons for its continued success, this paper tests long-term and short-term unbiasedness in the freight futures market with respect to its ability to unbiasedly predict future spot prices, using cointegration and error-correction techniques. Findings show that...

The paper attempts to examine the market integration with the help of cointegration test on the prices of potato of Hooghly district in West Bengal. The analysis has been made at two levels, namely at the level of wholesale markets and at the retail markets. The cointegration test by Johansen and Jeselius (1990) applied to weekly prices of three important potato markets in Hooghly district suggest that the markets are integrated. Our results revealed that price signals and information are transmitted smoothly across the markets. These results have important policy implications. In a situation when potato markets are spatially integrated the government may think of reducing or even withdrawing its efforts to influence the price in the market. The finding of...

Collective Action Initiatives to Improve Marketing Performance: Lessons from Farmer Groups in Tanzania

The primary inquiry of this study is to identify and understand the underlying factors that enable smallholder farmer groups to improve their market situation. The specific objective of this paper is to examine to what extent certain group characteristics and asset endowments facilitate collective action initiatives to improve group marketing performance. This objective is approached through an evaluation of a government-led program in Tanzania, which is attempting to increase smallholder farmers’ incomes and food security through a market-oriented intervention. Findings suggest that more mature groups with strong internal institutions, functioning group activities, and a good asset base of natural capital are more likely to improve their market situation....

This paper examines the incentive of atomistic agricultural producers within a specific geographical region to differentiate and collectively market products. We develop a model that allows us to analyze the market and welfare effects of the main types of real-world producer organizations, using it to derive economic insights regarding the circumstances under which these organizations will evolve, and describing implications of the results obtained in the context of an ongoing debate between the European Union and United States. As the anticipated fixed costs of development and marketing increase and the anticipated size of the market falls, it becomes essential to increase the ability of the producer organization to control supply in order to ensure the...

COMBINING TIME-VARYING AND DYNAMIC MULTI-PERIOD OPTIMAL HEDGING MODELS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Haigh,   Michael S.; Holt,   Matthew T.
This paper presents an effective way of combining two popular, yet distinct approaches used in the hedging literature – dynamic programming (DP) and time-series (GARCH) econometrics.  Theoretically consistent yet realistic and tractable models are developed for traders interested in hedging a portfolio.  Results from a bootstrapping experiment used to construct confidence bands around the competing portfolios suggest that while DP-GARCH outperforms the GARCH approach they are statistically equivalent to the OLS approach when the markets are stable.  Significant gains may be achieved by a trader, however, by adopting the DP–GARCH model over the OLS approach when markets exhibit excessive volatility.

Commercial Grain Merchandisers: What Do They Need to Know?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kliethermes,   Brandon; Parcell,   Joseph L.; Franken,   Jason R.V.
Little information exists on grain merchandisers, their characteristics, and the skills needed to be successful. This research contributes toward filling this gap. A summary of survey responses from 230 experienced grain merchandisers quantifies personal characteristics, skills perceived as important, and desire for executive education. Parametric analyses identify factors contributing to merchandisers’ salaries and their interest in establishing a certification process. Interestingly, experience but not formal education significantly enhances salaries.

Commercialization of Smallholders: Is Market Participation Enough?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gebremedhin,   Berhanu; Jaleta,   Moti.
The literature on commercial transformation of smallholders makes little distinction between market orientation (production decision based on market signals) and market participation (sale of output). However, policy implications to enhance commercial transformation of subsistence agriculture drawn from the analysis of the determinants of household market participation alone could be inadequate, if in fact, the determinants of market orientation and market participation are not the same or not consistent with each other. This paper analyzes the determinants of market orientation and market participation in Ethiopia separately and examines if market orientation translates into market participation. Empirical results show that the determinants of market...

Commodity futures markets: a survey
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carter,   Colin A.
This review article describes the main contributions in the literature on commodity futures markets. It is argued that modern studies have focused primarily on technical questions, with insufficient economic content. More research needs to be directed towards understanding fundamental economic issues such as why so few farmers hedge, the impacts of government farm programs on commodity futures, and the market impacts of commodity pools. The literature has failed to explain the prevalence of inverted markets in grains and oilseeds, and there is unexplainable price volatility in markets such as hogs and orange juice.

Commodity Marketing Board Modernisation: The Queensland Experience
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jarratt,   Ian S.; Brown,   Hannah.
This paper describes and explains the recent very rapid reduction in the number of commodity marketing boards (CMBs) in Queensland. The major causes included changed macro and micro economic policies, changes to national marketing arrangements, reduced producer support for compulsory delivery, producer interest in individual ownership of CMB assets, and producer demands for more flexible marketing systems. The key role of the Queensland Government in encouraging reviews of the CMBs, providing innovative and flexible legislative changes, and providing information and other assistance, is emphasised. Research on the effects of the changes in the commodity marketing arrangements is suggested.

Commodity Policies and Product Differentiation: the California Milk Marketing Order and the Organic Dairy Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Balagtas,   Joseph Valdes; Kreutzer,   Kristina N.
This paper evaluates the economic consequences of milk marketing orders for producers and consumers in organic and conventional milk markets.  We develop a multi-market equilibrium displacement model that disaggregates the organic and conventional segments of the California milk market in order to evaluate the economic effects of alternative policies.  We find that exemption of organics from marketing order regulation would make organic farmers better off at the expense of conventional farmers, but that complete deregulation would make both organic and conventional farms worse off.

Commodity Price Volatility: The Impact of Commodity Index Traders
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Getu,   Hailu; Weersink,   Alfons.
Over the years, critics have argued that futures market prices have been either too low or too high. Speculators have often been the target for the wrath of those feeling the futures price does not properly reflect market fundamentals. Recently, the criticism has been vented toward a new type of speculator that has been blamed for the dramatic changes in agricultural commodity prices experienced over the last several years. Commodity index traders (CITs) and other large institutional traders are commonly accused of exerting a destabilizing influence on commodity prices. The intensity of the debate over the role of CITs appeared to wane with the reduction in commodity prices since 2008 but the recent release of a well-publicized OECD report on the issue by...

COMMODITY PRICES AND UNIT ROOT TESTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Dabin; Tomek,   William G.
Endogenous variables in structural models of agricultural commodity markets are typically treated as stationary. Yet, tests for unit roots have rather frequently implied that commodity prices are not stationary. This seeming inconsistency is investigated by focusing on alternative specifications of unit root tests. We apply various specifications to Illinois farm prices of corn, soybeans, barrows and gilts, and milk for the 1960 through 2002 time span. The preponderance of the evidence suggests that nominal prices do not have unit roots, but under certain specifications, the null hypothesis of a unit root cannot be rejected, particularly when the logarithms of prices are used. If the test specification does not account for a structural change that shifts...

Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Padilla,   Luis.
Considerable evidence exists of high returns to public and private investment in commodity research and development programs.  This study investigates the potential returns to product research, development, and marketing in a dynamic commodity-market model.  Theoretical hypotheses derived from the solution to this model are tested in an empirical example of Washington apples.  Estimation results show that, despite significant spillovers to research and promotion expenditure in this industry, there is nonetheless considerable latitude to increase annual sales.

Commodity-based Trade and Market Access for Developing Country Livestock Products: The Case of Beef Exports from Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rich,   Karl M.; Perry,   Brian D.; Kaitibie,   Simeon.
While Ethiopia is Africa’s largest livestock producer, sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) barriers and animal diseases have traditionally constrained market access. A system dynamics model examined the feasibility of a proposed SPS certification system under a number of scenarios. Model results indicate that the system may not be viable for beef exports to Middle Eastern markets. However, the binding constraint is high domestic input costs rather than the costs of SPS compliance. Sensitivity analyses reveal that while investments in feed efficiency and animal productivity would enhance Ethiopia’s export competitiveness, the competitive nature of international beef markets may still prevent market access.

Common Labels and Market Mechanisms
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boizot-Szantai,   Christine; Lecocq,   Sebastien; Marette,   Stephan.
In this article, the impact of common labels is investigated with both theoretical and empirical approaches. Recent statistics regarding the egg market in France suggest that retailer brands largely adopt common labels. A simple theoretical framework enables us to determine the conditions under which producers and/or retailers with different product qualities decide to post a common label on their products. In particular, a situation of multiple equilibria (one where the label is used by the high-quality seller only and one where it is used by the low-quality seller only) is exhibited when the cost of the label is relatively large. The demand is then estimated for different segments of the French egg market, including producer/retailer brands with/without...

Communicating Climate Change: A Literature Review

Autores: Parton,   Kevin A.; Morrison,   Mark.
For climate scientists, climate change is a problem that has a significant chance of having catastrophic environmental, social and economic consequences during the course of this century. In contrast, public opinion seems to regard with scepticism the pronouncements on climate change that emanate from the scientific community. Why the difference? This is what our research project was designed to examine. Or to put it another way: Assuming that the scientific information is correct, and that without a dramatic change in technology (and policy to promote such a change) there would be a significant risk of man-made, global catastrophe, what must be done to communicate this urgent issue to the public? We have approached the analysis of this problem by...

COMPARATIVE FORECAST ACCURACY IN THE NEW SOUTH WALES PRIME LAMB MARKET

The market for Australian prime lamb is characterised by high production seasonality and a highly competitive retail demand. Because these factors often translate into substantial market variability, regular forecasts of supply and demand are important requirements of lamb market participants. There has been some forecasting activity in the state and national lamb markets but it has been a somewhat controversial activity. This paper assesses the comparative forecast accuracy of a range of methods in the New South Wales lamb market. The results indicate that no single method is clearly superior in all situations and the greatest scope for improving forecast accuracy in the New South Wales lamb market is through the use of combined econometric and naive...

COMPARING END-USE VALUES FOR NORTH DAKOTA HARD RED SPRING WHEAT VARIETIES

Markets for agricultural products may be inefficient when signals do not adequately reflect product characteristics important to market participants.  Although preferences can be explicitly stated through price premiums or characteristic values can be determined via hedonic methods, the problem is compounded when product quality information is costly to obtain.  Bundling of quality traits by variety can serve to signal product quality.  A procedure is developed in this paper to derive the value of different varieties in meeting buyer demands.  An application to the hard red spring market wheat both validates the ability of the procedure to distinguish among varieties, as well as provides empirical support to the existence of Akerlof's lemon market in the...

The livestock industry uses information on meat prices at different stages in the marketing system to make production decisions. When grocery stores began using electronic scanners to capture prices paid for meat, it was assumed that the livestock industry could capitalize on having these point-of-sale data available as a measure of the value of its products. This report compares scanner price data with publicly available data collected by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Of the two data types, scanner data provide more information about retail meat markets, including a wider variety of meat-cut prices, multiple measures of an average price, the volume of sales, and the relative importance of discounted prices. The scanner...

A choice experiment of Mid-Atlantic consumers was conducted to determine marginal willingness to pay for the attributes organic, natural, locally grown, and state marketing program promoted for strawberry preserves. The influence of purchasing venue on willingness to pay was also examined. Results indicated a price premium when purchased at a farmers market across all five states and versions. Organic was preferred to natural in only one state. Preference ordering between local and state program promoted varied. Consumers in Maryland and Pennsylvania clearly preferred local, while those in New Jersey seemed most likely to prefer the state program version.

Comparison of Hedging Cost with Other Variable Input Costs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Riley,   John Michael; Anderson,   John D.
Recent spikes in commodity prices have led to higher margin amounts and option premiums. For the most part, producers have always attributed their lack of use in reducing risk via futures and options markets to the high cost associated with the use of these markets. This study determines the relative costs of hedging with futures and options and compares these with the costs of other variable inputs. We find that with the exception of hedging corn with both tools and soybeans with options the costs of hedging has only increased at roughly the same rate as all other inputs.

The objectives of this study were to: (a) quantify differences in liquidity costs between Kansas City and Chicago wheat futures contracts, and (b) identify the factors which influence liquidity in these two markets. Regression results suggest that there are significant differences in liquidity costs between Chicago and Kansas City which are in part due to the lower trading volume at Kansas City. However, there appears to be a significantly higher cost of doing business at Kansas City which is independent of trading volume. The implications of these findings to traders is that transacting is more expensive in Kansas City than in Chicago.

The lack of study among the economic forecasting literature that can empirically proves the hypothesis of being more powerfulness of dynamic neural networks in comparison with the static neural networks models for forecasting, is the most important motivation of this study. In this paper, the utilization of NNARX as a nonlinear dynamic neural network model, ANN as a nonlinear static neural network model and ARIMA as a linear model were compared to forecast poultry retail price. As a case study on Iranian poultry retail price, we compare forecast performance of these models for three forecasts (1, 2 and 4 week ahead). Results show that NNARX and ANN models outperform ARIMA model, and also NNARX model outperforms ANN model for all three forecasts.

COMPETENCE ACQUISITION IN RETAIL FOOD: EFFICIENT CONSUMER RESPONSE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Marcus,   Alfred; Spielmann,   Brian; Qu,   Lu.
Based on interviews with retail food store managers and a subsequent survey, this paper traces the pathways that spawn competence acquisition in the retail food industry.  It finds that having an essential capability for learning, that is, obtaining new ideas, concepts, methods, tends to breed competencies in a number of areas which are of both business and social significance. In this study, the capacity of this essential capability to generate competencies in efficient consumer response (ECR) and environmental management (EM) are examined.  These competencies have attracted the attention of the retail food industry in its efforts to become more competitive with alternative retail food channels.

Competitive Analysis and Market Power of China’s Soybean Import Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Song,   Baohui; Marchant,   Mary A.; Reed,   Michael R.; Xu,   Shuang.
This research conducts a competitive structure analysis of the Chinese soybean import market which leads to the hypothesis that China’s soybean importers may have stronger market power in China’s soybean import market. Then, this research develops and simultaneously estimates a two-country partial equilibrium trade model to test U.S.-China market power of soybean trade. The empirical result supports our hypothesis that Chinese soybean importers have stronger market power relative to U.S. soybean exporters. This Chinese market power can be countered by U.S. and South American companies through developing new and expanding existing markets for soybeans throughout the world and investing in Chinese soybean storage and crushing capacity.

COMPETITIVE BIDDING ON IMPORT TENDERS: THE CASE OF MINOR OILSEEDS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   William W.; Diersen,   Matthew A.
Auctions and bidding play an important role in agricultural marketing.  A common and noteworthy application of auctions and bidding is that of import tendering which is used for both price determination and the allocation of purchases among sellers.  In this study we develop a  model to evaluate bidding strategies and competition in Egyptian oilseeds imports. Information included the values of bids submitted by each supplier in each tender over the period 1990 to 1993.  Results indicate that generally bids could be predicted for all bidders with a relatively high degree of confidence using simple relationships and accessible data.  In addition, for each oil tender there appeared to be groups of bidders characterized by differences in their bid functions....

Autores: Bodini,   Antonella; Zanoli,   Raffaele.
In the new economy Small and Medium Enterprises face new challenges in their Business-to-Consumers transactions, such as the use of new Information and Communication Technologies. Electronic commerce may represent a competitive strategy to make enterprises of the agro-food sector more visible to consumers, if usability is adequately taken into account. The main barrier to the development of successful e-commerce business is represented by websites not meeting basic accessibility and usability features. To tackle this issue, heuristic evaluation and the gap analysis approach has been adopted. The parameters taken into account stemmed from World Wide Web Consortium recommendations. Website usability issues have been measured by a panel of consumers assessing...

COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES ON THE MEAT PRODUCTS MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lakner,   Zoltan; Reti,   Attila.
The Hungarian meat-market can be characterised by intensive transitions both in market actors and product-structure. There is a decrease in the consumption of pork and at the same time in this category an increase in the share of processed meat products. There are also increasing differences in the quality and price-level of processed meat products. This transition highlights the importance of relations between the meat production industry and the meat retail trade. In the framework of a field-study we have analysed the opinions of more than two hundred meat trade specialist on supplier-retailer relationships. The responses have been analysed by one- and multivariate statistics. The results of the research confirm that the overwhelming majority of...

Autores: Mutambatsere,   Emelly.
This paper evaluates the production and trade trends for maize and maize products in southern Africa, individual countries’ revealed comparative advantages in producing these products, and the expected implications of freer trade in this sector. The analysis employs mainly annual bilateral trade data for the period 1996-2004, evaluated using comprehensive descriptive measures and the Revealed Comparative Advantage index. Results indicate that at least half of the countries in the SADC region are deficit producers of maize and maize products, and that only South Africa is a net exporter of all products considered. Substantial cross-hauling is observed, and the bulk of locally produced products are traded regionally, with over 90% regional bias for half of...

Autores: Fernandez-Cornejo,   Jorge; Spielman,   David J.
The paper presents a model developed to examine the effects of industry concentration on market power and cost efficiency in the seed industry.  In addition, the paper presents preliminary measures of the relative strengths of these effects for the case of the U.S. corn seed industry over the past 3 decades.  The model uses conjectural elasticities and is estimated using data collected from USDA sources.  The empirical results allow us to distinguish between the market power and cost effects of concentration, and to ascertain the tradeoff between the cost efficiency and market power resulting from higher concentration in the corn seed industry.

CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP IN FOOD RETAILING: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE ABOUT CONSUMER IMPACT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.
Increased concentration in ownership of retail and wholesale food companies in the United States naturally leads to the question "How  does concentration of ownership affect consumers?" Does it lead to higher or lower food prices, better or worse service, more or less  choice between stores and among products, and more or less employment and earning opportunities in the food sector?  Since the early 1980's  the percent of total sales captured by the top four supermarket chains have gone from 18 to 22 percent; food prices decreased, food expenditures relative to income and employment and earnings have all fallen modestly. Choice and service are harder to measure. Competition at the local level appears to be alive and well since numerous types of food...

Conditional Skewness of Aggregate Market Returns
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Charoenrook,   Anchada; Daouk,   Hazem.
The skewness of the conditional return distribution plays a significant role in financial theory and practice. This paper examines whether conditional skewness of daily aggregate market returns is predictable and investigates the economic mechanisms underlying this predictability. In both developed and emerging markets, there is strong evidence that lagged returns predict skewness; returns are more negatively skewed following an increase in stock prices and returns are more positively skewed following a decrease in stock prices. The empirical evidence shows that the traditional explanations such as the leverage effect, the volatility feedback effect, the stock bubble model (Blanchard and Watson, 1982), and the fluctuating uncertainty theory (Veronesi,...

The relationship between price volatility and competition is examined.  A theoretic, vector autoregressions on farm prices of wheat and retail prices of derivatives (flour, bread, pasta, bulgur and cookies) are compared to results from a dynamic, simultaneous-equations model with theory-based farm-to-retail linkages.  Analytical results yield insights about numbers of firms and their impacts on demand- and supply-side multipliers, but the applications to Turkish time series (1988:1-1996:12) yield mixed results.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the interaction between consumers’ past eating behaviors, risk perceptions and future information processing procedure. In the study, participants were required to choose whether or not to eat chicken that was potentially be tainted with Avian Influenza (AI). Results showed that people decreased the consumption when facing ambiguous signals regarding the food quality, but would not cease to eat altogether. Due to a taste of consistency, participants updated their risk perceptions and judgments based on their eating behaviors. The more chicken individuals ate the more favorably they tended to rate the food, suggesting confirmatory bias. Even though consumers with previous experience could pick up signals faster,...

Confounded by the Field: Bidding in Food Auctions When Field Prices Are Increasing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bernard,   John C.; He,   Na.
Auction experiments are commonly used to determine consumers’ willingness to pay for various food items. While their non-hypothetical nature is a positive, market substitutes create a probable confounding of bids by field prices. This study examines the influence of field prices on bids for four foods in two versions by conducting auctions before and after large price increases in 2007. Results show that bids were capped at given field prices and were significantly higher in sessions conducted after store prices increased. Percentage premiums, however, were not significantly different across sessions, suggesting that effects of field prices could be reduced. Overall, researchers must be conscious of how field prices affect bids.

Considering threshold effects in the long-run equilibrium in a vector error correction model: An application to the German apple market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goetz,   Linde; von Cramon-Taubadel,   Stephan.
We propose a three-step procedure to estimate a regime-dependent vector error correction model (VECM). In this model, not only the short-run adjustment process towards equilibrium is non-linear, as in threshold VECM and Markov switching VECM frameworks, but the long-run equilibrium relationship itself can also display threshold-type non-linearity. The proposed approach is unique in explicitly testing the null hypothesis of linear cointegration against the alternative of threshold cointegration based on the Gonzalo AND PITARAKIS (2006) test. The model is applied to apple price data on wholesale markets in Hamburg and Munich, using the share of domestic apples in total wholesale trade as the threshold variable. We identify four price transmission regimes...

Constant Market Shares Analysis: Uses, Limitations and Prospects
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ahmadi-Esfahani,   Fredoun Z.; Anderson,   Glenn Michael.
Constant market shares (CMS) analysis compares the actual export growth performance of a country with the performance that would have been achieved if the country had maintained its exports relative to some standard. The approach was first applied to international trade in the 1950s and has generally been used to analyse trading patterns and, in particular, the extent to which poor export performance can be attributed to a loss of ‘competitiveness’. However, the approach has been open to objections as a tool of description and diagnosis. Recent revisions appear to meet objections concerning its role as a descriptive tool. However, CMS analysis remains open to objections as a diagnostic tool owing to the strict theoretical conditions required to yield an...

Constant market shares analysis: uses, limitations and prospects
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ahmadi-Esfahani,   Fredoun Z.
In this paper, we generalise the constant market shares (CMS) framework, with particular attention to the underlying theoretical conditions required for diagnostic interpretation. The approach is applied to the analysis of the export performance of the Australian processed food sector in South-East Asia over the period 1980–2003. We conclude that the usefulness of CMS analysis for evaluating a country’s international trade performance depends upon the empirical validity of the aggregation assumptions implicit in the diagnostic interpretation.

Constitutional Obstacles to Organised Marketing in Australia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Coper,   Michael.
The famous (or infamous) command in section 92 of the Australian Constitution that interstate trade and commerce shall be "absolutely free" is only one of the many constitutional restrictions which bedevil organised marketing in Australia. The author, a constitutional lawyer, explains the impact of the Constitution upon organised marketing, and in language accessible to non-lawyers, unravels some of the complexities of the judge-made law of the Constitution. In addition to setting out what the law is, the paper attempts to convey the rationale behind the various constitutional provisions and the reasons behind the diversity of opinion in their interpretation. The paper concludes by examining the prospects for constitutional change.

Consumer acceptance and valuation of beef that has been tested for BSE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cranfield,   John A.L.
In light of the discovery of BSE infected cattle in Canada in 2003, a number of efforts have been undertaken to ensure the safety of beef produced in Canada. Recent discussion has focused on testing live cattle for the BSE prion. This paper investigates consumer acceptance and valuation of beef from live cattle that have been tested for BSE. Using data from an internet-­‐based survey of English speaking Canada, single bound estimates of WTP are measured. Expected WTP is 43 per cent for the entire sample, but ranges from 52 per cent for respondents with a high purchase intention to 28 per cent for those with less than a high purchase intention. Nevertheless, the proportion of respondents who were predicted to purchase a tested beef product was small, and...

The three types of Jednota Slovensko COOP chain store consists of 2388 units. Of these, 67, which compete successfully with “Western” chain stores, can be found in the Dunaszerdahely district examined. The advantage of the association network units is their closeness to and knowledge about their consumers. Among their weaknesses, the primary ones are shortcomings in logistics and marketing. With its 38% share, the association holds the strongest position among small retail chain stores. It can further increase its market share by freeing its units from the burdens of storage, processing and packing.

Autores: Goddard,   Ellen W.; Boxall,   Peter C.; Emunu,   John Paul; Boyd,   Curtis; Asselin,   Andre; Neall,   Amanda.
The Canadian egg industry has introduced a number of specialty eggs, including Omega-3, organic, free run/range, vitamin enhanced and vegetarian over the past few decades. These eggs are generally sold at prices higher than the ‘normal’ egg and there has been little analysis of the consumer awareness of and interest in purchasing these eggs. All previous econometric analysis of the Canadian egg market has assumed eggs and consumers are homogeneous. This study makes use of Stated preference and Revealed preference data to model the consumer interest in the different egg types. Stated preference surveys were conducted in two separate years: 2005 during which consumers were surveyed on their interest in Omega-3 and Vitamin Enhanced eggs relative to ‘normal’...

CONSUMER AWARENESS OF STATE-SPONSORED MARKETING PROGRAMS: AN EVALUATION OF THE JERSEY FRESH PROGRAM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Govindasamy,   Ramu; Italia,   John; Thatch,   Daymon W.
The majority of consumers surveyed (77 percent) report awareness of the Jersey Fresh, state-sponsored promotional program. However, certain segments appear more likely to be familiar with Jersey Fresh and its logos than others are. Behavioral and demographic models were constructed to evaluate which characteristics influence consumer awareness of Jersey Fresh. The results indicate that those who shop at more than one supermarket, those who frequently shop at direct marketing facilities, and those who frequently read food advertisements are more likely to exhibit a preexisting awareness of the Jersey Fresh Program. The results also indicate that the period of residence in the state positively contributed to the awareness of the program.

The Jersey Fresh marketing program, one of the nation’s leading examples of state-sponsored agricultural marketing promotion, enables consumers to easily identify quality fresh produce from New Jersey by promoting locally grown fruits and vegetables in the market with Jersey Fresh’s logos. This study utilizes a consumer survey to evaluate the effectiveness of the Jersey Fresh Program in terms of the impact the promotional logos have on consumers. The results of this study provide valuable information that may be used to improve the Jersey Fresh Program, and also may be used in the promotion of other New Jersey farm products as well as products in other states which have similar promotional programs.

Autores: Pieniak,   Zuzanna; Verbeke,   Wim.
Food labels are an important source of information to consumers. However, little scientific evidence is available on the type of information consumers seek on product labels and how consumers use food labels. The objective of this study is to assess consumers’ use of mandatory information cues and interest in potential information cues placed on fish labels, packages or shelves in five European countries. A cross-sectional consumer survey was carried out in November-December 2004 in five European countries: Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain and a sample representative for age and region within each country has been obtained. Total sample size is 4,786. The results show a high use of on-label information cues; hence, labels were found as...

Autores: Mafuru,   January M.; Norman,   David W.; Fox,   J.S.
Many sorghum varieties have been developed by research institutes in an effort to address food security problems in the semi-arid areas of Tanzania. Although sorghum is better adapted to drier areas than maize, farmer adoption rates for sorghum varieties are always lower than that of maize. In addition, maize based food is more acceptable to urban consumers than sorghum based food. In this study consumer evaluated quality attributes of sorghum ugali based on different varieties in order to determine marketing potential relating to the different improved sorghum varieties. A total of 231 consumers, randomly selected from urban and rural areas participated in a food panel to evaluate ugali prepared from five sorghum varieties (three improved, two local)....

Increasing concerns about a healthy diet, food safety and support for the local economy provide new opportunities for farmers to increase their farm income by locally selling their farm products. The major challenge for farmers making local sales is to predict consumer preferences correctly and provide goods to the market accordingly. By analyzing results from a consumer survey conducted in the Midwest, the current study determines the consumer preferences for domestic artisan cheese compared with processed cheese and imported French cheese compared with U.S. artisan cheese. The results of the econometric analysis show that consumer preferences vary between domestic and imported cheese. The results also show that experience attributes are more influential...

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of bean grain quality characteristics on market price. The data was collected from retail markets in Tanzania. Hedonic pricing provides a statistical estimate of premiums and discounts. Implications for development of bean markets include: i) extension agents should identify cost-effective ways to educate producers on targeting urban market niches based on consumer preferences for varieties, ii) breeding for bruchid resistant beans and use of appropriate storage technologies would alleviate the problems of storage damage, and iii) requiring a portfolio of grain quality characteristics to fit consumer preferences in local markets.

Scientists and beef industry participants are investigating ways to improve the healthiness of beef. We report results of a nationwide mail survey developed to determine consumers’ preferences for fat content in ground beef and identify how consumers would most like to improve the healthiness of beef. The results from a choice-based conjoint experiment indicate that consumers place significant value on reducing saturated fat and the Omega 6:3 ratio in ground beef, but were relatively unconcerned about conjugated linoleic acid. The relatively new method of best-worst scaling was used to further identify which methods consumers most preferred producers use to improve fat content in beef. The results indicate consumers preferred feeding cattle a grass-fed...

Consumer Preferences for Attributes of Organic Processed Foods: The Case of Soymilk In the United States

Autores: Zheng,   Yue; Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Li,   Xianghong.
Organic soymilk has been one of the fastest growing products in the organic food sector in recent years. Due to the shortage of domestically grown organic soybeans, outsourcing became a practice in the industry. It was estimated by some industry insiders that about 50% of organic soybeans consumed in the United States were imported from China (Cornucopia Institute, 2009). In 2009, the Organic Consumers Association called for a boycott of Silk products because it was reported that Silk, the dominant national brand in organic soymilk market, sourced organic soybeans from China and Brazil based on disputable standards. Under public pressure, Silk brand soymilk started to substitute U.S. grown non-genetically modified (GM) soybeans for imported organic...

The U.S. raisin industry has experienced a decline in acreage and in number of growers in recent years. One firm is trying a novel approach to marketing raisins, namely, by marketing them still attached to the vine. This product is called cluster raisins. In order to explore consumer preferences related to cluster raisins, and to generate new product ideas and preferred marketing methods, two focus group interviews were implemented. Findings included that a young (i.e., 18 - 25 years) market segment would be a recommended target market. Also included are recommendations regarding price, packaging, and methods of increasing consumer awareness. Recommended marketing channels include specialty markets (e.g., Trader Joe's or Whole Foods) and gift baskets.

Although several studies have investigated consumer preferences for olive oil country-of-origin labelling (COOL), very little is known on consumers’ preferences for new health claims (EC Reg. n. 1924/2006). This paper aims to analyse the introduction of these attributes, providing more insights into Italian consumer perception and preferences for different extra-virgin olive oil labelling schemes. After preliminary focus group and in-depth personal interviews with representatives of retailers and producers’ organizations, a choice experiment (CE) was employed on a sample of Italian consumers to analyse preferences for different extra-virgin olive oils. CE methodology allows to weight the relative importance of any given attribute for consumers, measuring...

The main objective of this paper is to identify factors that determine consumers’ purchase decisions for ground beef offered with different packaging technologies. Consumers’ increasing knowledge about food technologies and changes in food labeling regulation influence agribusiness’ future product development and marketing strategies. Non-hypothetical choice experiments with ground beef, conducted in the USA, are used to quantify consumers’ valuation of technology-related attributes namely shelf life, color and packaging. How alternative types of information affect consumers’ WTP is of particular importance to processors and food safety analysts. This paper’s methodological contribution lies in applying advanced methods to elicit consumers' estimates of...

Consumer Preferences for Socially Responsible Production Attributes Across Food Products

Autores: McCluskey,   Jill J.; Durham,   Catherine A.; Horn,   Brady P.
This study examines consumer preferences for three socially responsible products: minimal-pesticide strawberries, fair-trade bananas, and milk from pasture-fed cows. In-person survey data were collected in four states. Understanding preferences for these characteristics is difficult because they may appeal to different individuals depending on their personal attitudes and values. To address this issue, health, environmental and other attitudes are measured based on survey questions. Responses to these questions are used to produce explanatory factor scores. Stated preference models, both with and without factor scores, are estimated to evaluate the relative strengths of consumer preferences and motivations to purchase these products.

Consumer Preferences for U.S. Pork in Urban China

Autores: Ortega,   David L.; Wang,   H. Holly; Wu,   Laping.
China’s transition into a developed economy is driving changes in consumer preferences and demand for foods. To evaluate consumer preferences for U.S. pork in urban China, primary data were collected in two metropolitan areas- Beijing and Shanghai. Estimated logit models revealed that an individual’s age, shopping location and food safety concerns significantly influenced their willingness-to-pay for U.S. pork. A proportional linear model was developed to evaluate factors affecting purchasing behavior of western-style pork cuts vs. traditional Chinese cuts. Food safety concerns were linked to a previous lean-meat additive scare and a lack of consumer confidence on the Chinese food inspection system.

Consumer Purchasing Behavior in Response to Media Coverage of Avian Influenza

Consumer concerns regarding food safety can have substantial impacts on their consumption patterns. Thus, understanding consumer response to food safety information is important for quantifying consumer response to food safety events, predicting market impacts, and developing appropriate risk communication strategies. Flexible demand systems have gained much popularity in analyzing effects of food safety outbreaks on consumer demand because of their ability to capture interactions between the demand for substitutable and complementary goods. Using Italian scanner data on meat sales, we show the economic importance of accounting for the impact of avian flu outbreaks on group expenditures for meats in a dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) specification...

Consumer Support for Food Tracing with RFID Technology
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Larson,   Ronald B.; Rana,   Kulmani.
Foodborne illness continues to be a significant problem and food traceability may help reduce the number and severity of outbreaks.  One technology that could improve food tracing is radio frequency identification tags or RFID.  However, some consumers may oppose the use of this technology because of its potential for reducing personal privacy.  A survey of consumers asked about their support for an RFID tracing system for produce and for meat.  Results suggest that some consumer privacy attitudes and privacy behaviors were negatively related to support for RFID tracing.  Proponents of traceability with RFID may need to spend more time explaining the technology to consumers to reduce their concerns and anxieties.  In addition, the results for produce...

Consumer Willingness-to-Pay for Fresh Pork Attributes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sanders,   Dwight R.; Moon,   Wanki; Kuethe,   Todd H.
A survey was used to gauge consumer preferences toward four fresh pork attributes: juiciness, tenderness, marbling, and leanness. The survey elicited consumer willingness-to-pay a premium for an improvement in these attributes. Approximately one-half of the respondents were willing to pay some premium for the attributes of juiciness, leanness, and tenderness. The average premium size ranged from $0.20/lb. for marbling to $0.37/lb. for tenderness. Neither the choice of a certifying agency nor the use of a cheap talk script influenced premium levels.

Autores: Shi,   Lijia; House,   Lisa; Gao,   Zhifeng.
A stated preference experiment is conducted to elicit consumer WTPs for various blueberry attributes. The mixed logit model is employed to account for consumer heterogeneity. The model is set up in the WTP space where the distributions of WTPs are directly specified. Considering the high diversity of consumer perception and the remarkable benefits from differential marketing, we apply the hierarchical Bayesian approach and the discussion is based on the individual level WTP estimates. The results show that “local produced” attribute is preferred over simply “produced in the U.S.” by most respondents. By contrast, less than 50% of the respondents are willing to pay premium for organic blueberries. In addition, hardly any relationship between demographics...

Prion diseases have raised concerns in consumer’s minds about food safety associated with meat world-wide. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) both exist in Canada and consumer markets for beef, bison, elk and deer may have been affected by the diseases.  While numerous studies have examined Canadian consumer beef purchasing behavior in the presence of BSE (Lomeli (2005), John(2007)), no examination of the impact of the animal diseases on consumer behavior for households who consume bison, elk and venison as part of their protein intake has been undertaken. In this study, meat consumption behavior for these specific households is examined, in particular, examining meat substitution possibilities between the exotic meats...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Whorton,   Carly S.; Amanor-Boadu,   Vincent.
This paper identifies ways to improve on the current literature regarding sustainable production technologies, in this case, organic and local products. A survey method is used to examine organic and local markets in place of a single product to gain a better understanding of consumers‟ response to these products, their reactions to price differences of these products, and how their preferences change based on changing income level and prices. The sample was drawn from a commercial database and was attempted to be made random across the U.S. population. In place of results, hypotheses are presented as data were late coming back.

Autores: Kim,   Sounghun; Son,   Eun-Young; Park,   Sungho.
This paper conducts several analyses to discuss about consumers' preference of rice brands and suggest a way to reduce the number that currently stands at about 1,700 in the Korean market. With data collected from 358 survey respondents, a conjoint analysis was conducted to identify consumers' preferences of Korean rice in regard to such aspects as producing area, brand, category, and price. We particularly focused on analyzing the consumers' preference of rice brands, with some scenarios to decrease the number of brands.  The paper also estimated the virtual market shares of rice brands. As results of the analyses, the paper shows that the grouping of individual rice brands in a city or county under one representative brand is the most preferred by Korean...

CONSUMERS' VALUATION OF DISEASE-RESISTANT NURSERY STOCK: A CASE STUDY OF DOGWOODS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gardner,   Justin G.; Eastwood,   David B.; Brooker,   John R.; Klingeman,   William E.
This article summarizes a study of consumers' willingness to pay (WTP), in urban areas in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Michigan, for a powdery mildew resistant dogwood tree. Powdery mildew is a disease affecting flowering dogwoods that can limit growth, detract from the appearance, and may cause plant decline and death.  Study objectives were to provide information about consumers' WTP and to identify potential marketing strategies for the introduction of the disease-resistant tree. On average, survey respondents indicated they are willing to pay a $13.35 premium for a flowering dogwood tree which is resistant to powdery mildew. Regression results led to inferences that the presence of dogwoods in a respondent's yard, presence of dogwoods infected with...

Consumers’ Valuation of GMO Segregation Programs in Japan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Matsumoto,   Shigeru.
The contingent valuation method was used to elicit Japanese consumers’ willingness-to-pay for genetically modified organism (GMO) segregation programs.  The results revealed that most consumers pay nonnegligible premiums for products produced under strict GMO-segregation programs.  However, we found that the premium did not vary by the threshold level of GMO content in the product.  We further found that a government certification did not increase the premium for GMO-segregation programs.  Therefore, an additional mandatory regulation to reduce GMO contaminations would not be worthwhile because such a regulation would incur substantial enforcement costs.

Consumers’ Willingness-to-Pay for Retail Branded Beef Products with Bundled Attributes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Parcell,   Joseph L.; Tonsor,   Glynn T.
With a declining share of the domestic meat market, some beef producers are becoming more attentive to opportunities for value-added products tailored to the desires of certain consumer segments. Using a survey of St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri meat consumers, this study investigates perceptions of and willingness-to-pay for various value-added attributes that could be supplied as retail branded beef products.  Factor analysis identifies two alternative attribute bundles as branding strategies based on perceived importance and complementarity of attributes. Nonparametric procedures provide conservative estimates of willingness-to-pay.  Parametric methods identify types of consumers willing to pay significantly higher premiums.

CONSUMPTION HABITS OF "FREE RANGE CHICKEN" IN HUNGARY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tikasz,   Ildiko Edit; Szucs,   Istvan; Stundl,   Laszlo.
Poultry is highly ranked in the World meat production and consumption (it accounted for 32% in 2007), and, in the past 20 years it was growing with an annual rate of 3–6%, higher than in case of any other meat-types. This tendency is also valid for Hungary: poultry has the largest share (29.8 kg/person/year, 47%) in the domestic meat consumption since 2000, which is among the EU top (KSH, 2007). As the result of the animal health and nutrition scandals, the EU animal welfare and quality requirements and the advancements in health consciousness the Master-Good group launched the production, processing and trade of free-range poultry under the brand "Free-range chicken". The new products had good consumer responses, because at present 1.5% of the processed...

Consumption of dairy products in urban China: results from Beijing, Shangai and Guangzhou

Autores: Fuller,   Frank H.; Beghin,   John C.; Rozelle,   Scott.
Using urban survey data collected by the authors in 2001–02, this paper analyses demographics, cultural factors and purchasing behaviours influencing the consumption of fresh milk, yogurt, ice cream and powered milk in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, China. Results from estimation of a double-hurdle model of consumption show that income and marketing channels are the key determinants of milk consumption levels; however, education, advertising and convenience play a more important role in consumption of other dairy products. There is some evidence that milk powder, as a consumer good, may be becoming an inferior product in urban China. Finally, the survey data suggest that the growing sophistication of China’s retail sector is influencing consumption of...

Pork is a source of nutrients essential for the human body but still it is regarded by consumers as a non-healthy product. The main objective of the study was to analyse consumption patterns concerning pork products and to define alternative target markets in bigger Hungarian towns. In the course of the research, 494 people, representative of the base population, were questioned. According to the results obtained, the consumers’ opinion and the already formed image are less favourable regarding pork than poultry in almost all respects. Respondents regarded pork as an out-of-date, slightly boring and aging product. The applied cluster analysis identified five different consumer segments. Among them, rational young consumers represent the primary target...

Autores: Rozelle,   Scott; Benzinger,   Vince; Huang,   Jikun.
Can we find traditional periodic markets in the milieu of market activity that abounds in contemporary China today?  As reform is transforming the rural economy, is periodic markets activity being intensified or undermined?  What factors account for the evolution of China's rural markets?  The goal of this paper is to provide answers to some of these questions.  In one sense, the study seeks to add to Skinner's seminal work by analyzing a set of primary data collected by the authors on periodic markets in today's rural China.  The paper subjects a number of Skinner's pre-dictions to quantitative testing, and updates his theory to account for institutional peculiarities in the contemporary period.  In another sense, however, our study stands on its own.  We...

CONTRACT MARKET VIABILITY

Autores: Rausser,   Gordon C.; Bryant,   Henry L.
Academia and the finance industry generate many proposals for new contract markets. Unfortunately, many proposed markets lack the critical attributes that promote success. We examine these attributes, and evaluate the potential of several announced proposals. We find that proposals emanating from the academy generally fail to consider the full suite of integrated financial services necessary to support a viable market, while proposals put forward by practitioners are much more likely to do so.

Contract Marketing after the 2002 Farm Act: The Case of Peanuts

Autores: Revoredo-Giha,   Cesar; Nadolnyak,   Denis A.; Fletcher,   Stanley M.
The elimination of the marketing quota system that regulated the peanut market since the 1930s has been accompanied by the emergence of marketing contracts between farmers and peanut buyers (mainly peanut shellers). Two types of contracts have been observed, forward contracts for delivery at harvest or at a later date and "option to purchase" contracts. We analyze the clauses of contracts used by major shellers in order to infer the motivation behind these contracts (i.e., risk sharing, reduction of transaction costs, improve coordination, exercise of market power, etc.). The analysis points out that the main role of the contracts is to replace the marketing structure existing prior the 2002 Farm Act, where peanut marketing was quite regulated. In this...

Contract Pricing and Packer Competition in Fed Cattle Market

Autores: Park,   Moon-Soo; Love,   H. Alan; Jin,   Yanhong H.
We use a game-theoretical framework to analyze the coexistence of spot and contract markets in the cattle industry. A duopsony scenario with two packers and N feeders is used to reflect the reality in the cattle industry. Our main contribution is to incorporate the risk components and the pricing of hedonic attributes of cattle quality. Our preliminary results show that packers have an incentive to transform bidding strategies in spot markets when a series of hedonic characteristics play some significant roles in establishing cattle prices in contract market. That is, we will show that the effectiveness of contract with TOMP clauses on packer competition in a spot market depends on whether there is a correlation between spot price and hedonic...

CONTRACTING, CAPTIVE SUPPLIES, AND PRICE BEHAVIOR
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chin,   Ming-Chin; Weaver,   Robert D.
Theoretical and simulation results clarify the role of procurement contracting in determining spot price levels and volatility.  A generic model determines market share across quality.  Actual supply is specified as price dependent and stochastic.  Simulation examines the sensitivity of price level and volatility to extent of forward contracting, risk aversion, and ability to adjust spot market demand (recontracting).  The results show that as forward contracting increases mean spot price decreases and variance increases.  This effect increases as risk aversion decreases and as extent of recontracting adjustment in spot demand decreases.

Contracts, Markets, and Prices: Organizing the Production and Use of Agricultural Commodities

Production and marketing contracts govern 36 percent of the value of U.S. agricultural production, up from 12 percent in 1969. Contracts are now the primary method of handling sales of many livestock commodities, including milk, hogs, and broilers, and of major crops such as sugar beets, fruit, and processing tomatoes. Use of contracts is closely related to farm size; farms with $1 million or more in sales have nearly half their production under contract. For producers, contracting can reduce income risks of price and production variability, ensure market access, and provide higher returns for differentiated farm products. For processors and other buyers, vertical coordination through contracting is a way to ensure the flow of products and to obtain...

Using a survey data of 700 traders, this study scrutinizes contract choices and enforcement for agricultural traders in China. This study finds that market service and environment are very important for both contract choices and enforcement. Better market service and environment can increase the propensity of using contract and the probability of contract enforcement both for purchase and sales of products. Education and memberships of special associations are also important for contract choices and enforcement. Higher education and affiliation to special associations for traders can increase the propensity of contracts and reduce contract breaches. However, the formats of contracts, whether contracts are oral or written, are not important for contract...

The commercial bison industry is relatively new to North Dakota.  There were an estimated 23,000 head of bison in North Dakota in 1998, and these animals were found in 47 of 53 counties.  The purpose of this study was to estimate the economic contribution of the bison industry to the North Dakota economy.  A survey of North Dakota bison producers and processors was conducted to provide estimates of direct impacts of bison activities within the state.  Secondary economic impacts were determined using the North Dakota Input-Output Model. The direct impact of production and processing of bison in North Dakota in 1998 was estimated at $23 million.  The $23 million in direct impacts generated an additional $47 million in secondary impacts within the state. The...

Continued value creation is paramount for the survival of firms competing in today's high velocity global business environment.

In this article, we extend the variable delivery claim framework (Cross, Buccola, and Thomann, 2006) to examine the option-to-cheat, that is, the option to shift production between contracts ex post.  We use this framework to provide a solution to the age-old conflict between enforcement and the cooperative tradition of providing a “"home"” for member produce.  We show that, in contrast to Nourse’'s competitive yardstick hypothesis, the value of the cooperative-provided option increases as market competition intensifies.  When the option-to-cheat is fairly-priced, it is Pareto improving, increasing grower returns, lowering cooperative per-unit costs and reducing contract shortfalls for investor-owned rivals at no additional per-unit cost.  Our valuation...

Cooperative Formation and Financial Contracting in Agricultural Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hueth,   Brent; Marcoul,   Philippe; Ginder,   Roger G.
Cooperative formation in agriculture sometimes occurs in response to the exit of a private firm and typically requires substantial equity investment by participating farmers. What economic rationale can explain why farmers are willing to contribute capital to an activity that fails to attract non-farm, or "private" investment? We hypothesize that doing so is a costly mechanism for increasing the maximum penalty farmers face in the case of business failure. For a given market environment, exposing farmers to this risk increases the amount of surplus that can be used to repay lenders, thus expanding the set of market environments in which financing is available. We show how equity investment of this sort can be an efficient organizational response to a...

Autores: Szabo,   Gabor G.
Farmers’ problems and co-ordination of agricultural activities cannot be solved simply by EU and/or government support, or by private market co-ordination institutions. Emerging producer groups and co-operatives seem vital in achieving bargaining power. Theoretically, and according to Western European (Dutch, Danish etc.) and US practical experience, one of the major important private institutions that can strengthen producers and help co-ordinate (agricultural) chains is the co-operative entity. To fulfill the basic co-operative aims and to compete in a more market-oriented environment (e.g. more liberal agricultural policies, opening European and world market, etc.) they will initiate new marketing strategies. To implement such new marketing strategies,...

Cooperative vs. Non-Cooperative Spatial Competition for Milk in the Presence of Farm Marketing Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Graubner,   Marten; Koller,   Ines; Salhofer,   Klaus; Balmann,   Alfons.
Although important, the spatial dimension is often neglected in studies of market power and competition in agricultural markets. This paper investigates spatial competition for raw milk between dairies under the presence of marketing cooperatives. Since observed in reality, our model is based on uniform delivered pricing and overlapping market areas. We compare spatial cooperative price matching with non-cooperative Hotelling-Smithies conduct. Utilizing a vector error correction model we show that the observed low price transmission in Germany is in line with cooperative behaviour. This seems rational since it increases processors profits. The abolition of the quota system may increase price transmission.

Cooperatives as Marketers of Branded Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hardesty,   Shermain D.
Few agricultural marketing cooperatives have nationally prominent brand names. Instead, they tend to concentrate in commodity-oriented markets, which can be attributed to the cooperative principles—user-benefit, user-financed and user-control. However, these structural disadvantages can be overcome. Due to the user-benefit principle, cooperatives often have seasonal product availability and/or limited product lines; they also suffer from the horizon problem, lacking the structure to provide long-term returns to members who invest in brand building. The user-benefit principle can be converted into an advantage by using the cooperative identity as a marketing strategy, and the horizon problem can be remedied by implementing a delivery-rights system....

Transaction cost economics revolutionized economists understanding of coordination strategy decisions, bringing into the economic equation questions of how the attributes of a transaction affect the governance decision, particularly given the reality of bounded rationality and possibility for opportunism among partners in an exchange. Despite the explanatory power of transaction cost models, they have been criticized on theoretical grounds and for operational shortcomings. Specifically, Dow points out that in order to compare transaction costs across different governance structures, the characteristics of the transaction must be constant regardless of the governance structure in question (Dow in Dietrich 1994 p 4). This is rarely the case in reality. In...

This paper provides an empirical validation of the Peterson, Wysocki &amp; Harsh (PWH) framework for coordination strategy decisions, drawing evidence from four firms' procurement strategies in São Paulo's fresh produce markets. The results support the hypothesis that the PWH framework provides empirical and theoretical insight into firm managers' coordination decisions. The cases show how asset specificity and complementarity affect the costliness of coordination decisions, how this costliness drives the decision to change coordination strategies, and how feasibility and risk/return criteria also apply. Additional insights into coordination strategy decisions that were generated in applying the framework and their potential relevance to the framework are...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Larson,   Ronald B.
For many years, retailers have been searching for research methods to help them identify ways to improve their merchandise presentation. Some have used sales data and the category-management process to make product-assortment and shelf-arrangement decisions. Others decided to do analysis at a larger scale, looking at an aisle of a store instead of at individual categories. While aisle management may have some advantages over category management, the two methods are not mutually exclusive. Category data could be used to decide how to arrange related items on the shelf and information on customer traffic, buyer preferences, and sales for a section of a store could be used to place the categories and allocate space to each category. This research discusses...

Corporate and Consumer Social Responsibilities: Label Regulations in the Lab
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Etile,   Fabrice; Teyssier,   Sabrina.
Although consumer attitudes toward corporate social responsibility are positive, socially responsible (SR) products are far from gaining significant market shares. Information asymmetries have been identified as one of the factor contributing to this attitude-behaviour gap, because social responsibility is a credence attribute. Signalling may remedy this market failure. We use an experimental posted offer market to investigate the impact of various regulatory requirements for labels on sellers’ choice to supply SR products and to signal it, and on buyers’ choice of ethical quality. Three treatments are tested: label certification by a third-party, “cheap-talk signalling” with random monitoring and with or without reputations. Individual social preferences...

Correction method on fairs’ attraction radius
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Karpati,   Laszlo.
At auditing a fair the measure and evaluation of the exhibitors’ distance is a important task and can be used for further promotion of the fair. In analyzing the attraction radius of different fairs one can discover some figures that may raise questions regarding a simple averaging of the attraction distances. According to the research of the author, the bias in the attraction radius can be caused by two factors: the size of the attraction region and the distance from the region’s business center. Authors explored the bias factors and suggest a correction method to remedy it. A theoretical correction model was applied to evaluate three agribusiness fairs. It is established that the corrected attraction radius gives more realistic result than the simple...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the cost structures associated with subterminal facilities. An economic-engineering approach was used to determine the construction and operation costs of four different sizes of subterminal facilities operating at three different plant capacities. Profitability of subterminals was determined mainly by the volume of grain handled. If a subterminal marketed enough grain, it was able to incur both decreasing average fixed and average variable costs. The larger subterminals were found to be more profitable than the smaller facilities indicating the existence of economies of size in both the fixed and variable cost components. Profitability can be dramatically increased given the availability of internal financing for...

Autores: Donnell,   Jeri; Ward,   Clement E.
Objectives were twofold: Determine key factors influencing preconditioning cost and returns; and determine the premium for age and source verified, preconditioned calves sold at a public livestock market.  Data provided by the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation show preconditioning returns depend significantly on number of days preconditioned, average daily gain, and cost of vaccinations, hay, feed, and mineral.  Noble Foundation cooperators received a premium for age and source verified, preconditioned feeder cattle when sold at market.  Significant coefficients averaged across five sales conclude that Noble Foundation management practices receive a $2.49/cwt premium when compared to all other cattle sold at market.

Autores: Kliebenstein,   James B.; Hurley,   Sean P.; Larson,   Ben; Honeyman,   Mark.
Niche markets of agricultural products are experiencing rapid growth.  One such market is organic pork.  Organic production typically demands specific production conditions that can be cost increasing.  This study evaluates the cost of organic pork production, seasonal differences in costs, and premiums necessary to induce continuous organic pork production.  In the past few years, niche marketing has been a rapidly growing phenomenon in agriculture.  One area that has experienced dramatic growth is the production of organic products.  Organic production typically brings with it specific conditions on how the product is produced.  These can impact the cost structure of the business and in turn, needed premiums for economic production.  One of these niche...

Cotton Futures Dynamics: Structural Change, Index Traders and the Returns to Storage
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Power,   Gabriel J.; Robinson,   John R.C.
The commodity bull cycle of 2006-2008 and subsequent dramatic price decline have been a source of hardship for traditional commodity market participants such as producers and merchant/shippers. The usefulness of futures markets has been called into question, especially given that some market movements did not appear to be justified by economic fundamentals. An emerging research literature examines the possible influence of futures traders, and particularly the non-traditional Index Traders, on the well-functioning of futures markets and underlying commodity markets. Cotton is a relatively under-studied commodity that is of particular importance for producers in the South and Southwest. To this end, this paper asks the following questions: (1) What role...

COULD FUTURES MARKETS HELP GROWERS BETTER MANAGE COFFEE PRICE RISKS IN COSTA RICA?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hazell,   Peter B.R.
Costa Rican coffee farmers are almost fully exposed to world price variability. Yet, despite small farm sizes, specialization in coffee, and a marketing system that prolongs uncertainty and aggravates cash flow problems, this study finds that most farmers still manage their price risks surprisingly well. Farmers are able to forecast prices with comparable accuracy to the New York futures market. They have a favorable seasonal cash flow, ready access to credit, and are willing and able to bear risk. Within this context, the potential gains from using the New York futures market to provide forward price contracts at harvest are found to be modest.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of media advertising on the US consumption of imported wine. A panel data of seven countries and twelve years from 1994-2005 is used to estimate the demand function for US wine imports.  Our empirical analysis reveals evidence of strong price and advertising effects of domestic and imported wines on imported quantities; the advertising of imported wines significantly increases the quantity of imports while the advertising of domestic wines has a strong depressing effect on imported wine volumes. Our short-run import demand price and advertising elasticity estimates are -0.406 and 0.109 for imports and 0.654 and -0.370 for domestic wines, respectively. Other determinants such as population, real...

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AS A BRAND: THE CASE OF NEW ZEALAND LAMB

Autores: Clemens,   Roxanne; Babcock,   Bruce A.
New Zealand has used country-of-origin labeling (COOL) as a "“country brand”" to differentiate New Zealand lamb in international markets and increase consumer awareness of this lamb as a high-quality imported product. The case of New Zealand lamb is especially interesting as an unsubsidized commodity product competing against subsidized lamb in some of the most competitive and sophisticated retail markets in the world. Given New Zealand’'s dependence on international markets, producers, processors, and exporters needed to develop strategies to create and maintain a strong positive image for their product. This paper explores the history of New Zealand lamb exports, the focus on quality and meeting consumer specifications, and differences in the use and...

Country of Origin Labeling: Evaluating the Impacts on U.S. and World Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jones,   Keithly G.; Somwaru,   Agapi; Whitaker,   James B.
A provision of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 requires country of origin labeling (COOL) for certain agricultural commodities. To comply with the law, producers, processors, and retailers face additional production costs associated with labeling, separating, and tracking commodities. Using estimated costs provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), we simulate the impacts of mandatory COOL on U.S. and global agricultural markets using a global static general equilibrium model (STAGEM). The results show resource adjustments that lead to decreases in production, consumption, and trade flows. The results assume no demand premium for labeled commodities relative to unlabeled commodities.

By endogenizing unit value and coupon redemption, we estimate U.S. household cheese purchase, quality choice, and coupon redemption equations simultaneously. Zero purchases and missing values are taken into account in the model to correct for the selectivity bias. The correlations among the three equations are found to be significant. Empirical findings show that high quality choice significantly decreases cheese purchases, while cheese coupon usage significantly increases purchases. We find that higher income households select higher quality cheese, while larger households choose lower quality cheese. Frequent coupon redeemers are found to purchase lower quality cheese. For coupon redemption, we find that African American households redeem less while...

COUPONING AS A HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL STRATEGY: THEORY AND EFFECTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Connor,   John M.
This paper surveys developments in analytical models and empirical findings concerning the strategic use of manufacturers' coupons for U.S. grocery products.  Traditional theories examine the horizontal effects of coupons as a strategy to charge various classes of consumers different prices.  Recent developments focus on the use of coupons in manufacturer-retailer vertical competition.  The paper provides data on trends in couponing: numbers, face values, redemption rates, total promotional costs, and international usage.  The paper further analyses the effective price discounts provided by coupons across brands and segments of ready-to-eat cereals during 1992-1995.

Cow-Calf Producer Interest in Retained Ownership
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Parcell,   Joseph L.; Patterson,   David J.; Smith,   Michael F.; Poock,   Scott.
The beef industry’s share of domestic meat demand continues to decline, as increasing vertical coordination in pork and poultry contribute to these industries’ ability to offer convenient, consistent, and less expensive products.  For such vertical coordination to be effective, incentives must be properly aligned so that those responsible for making the most important investments for system profitability are appropriately compensated.  This study demonstrates that cow-calf producers who invest in quality registered cattle and those who are interested in incorporating feedlot and carcass data into herd management decisions are also more interested in retained ownership.

Cow-Calf Producer Risk Preference Impacts on Retained Ownership Strategies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pope,   Kelsey Frasier; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Langemeier,   Michael R.; Herbel,   Kevin L.
Considerable efforts have been made to provide cow-calf producers with information to help them make informed decisions about adding value to calves. Despite demonstrated market incentives to retain calves, many producers still sell right after weaning. We postulate this observed behavior is related to producer risk aversion. Our study concludes risk aversion is an important factor affecting calf retention as the most risk-averse producers have more than a 60% probability of selling calves at weaning and the most risk tolerant have less than a 20% probability of selling at weaning.

Autores: Clemens,   Roxanne; Lawrence,   John D.; Hayes,   Dermot J.; Babcock,   Bruce A.
Worldwide, a segment of consumers can afford to pay substantial price premiums for very high quality agricultural products with attributes those consumers value. At the same time, many U.S. farmers are producing these high-quality products but are not using market mechanisms that allow them to take fullest advantage of price premiums. This paper describes a pilot program developed to commercialize an origin-based collective brand for very high quality beef. We hypothesize that, if successful, the program would create potential for cattle producers to take fuller advantage of price premiums often captured elsewhere in the marketing channel. Specifically, the pilot program analyzed two mechanisms for differentiating and marketing very high quality beef: a...

This study analyzes the effect of the Loan Deficiency Payment (LDP) program, established under the Federal Agriculture Improvement Reform (FAIR) act of 1996, on corn and soybean basis pattern patterns in Missouri.  Additionally, spatial competition is incorporated into the basis models.  Using weekly corn and soybean basis pattern data from 1993 through 2001 for multiple locations in Missouri, and incorporating a variable for when the LDP is in effect, empirical models examining factors affecting corn and soybean basis pattern patterns are estimated.   Results indicate that the presence of the LDP program has a significant economic impact on soybean basis.  Furthermore, spatial competition strengthens corn basis.

The use of crop yield futures contracts is examined. The expectation being modeled here reflects that of an Illinois corn and soybeans producer at planting, of revenue realized at harvest. The effects of using price and crop yield contracts are measured by comparing the results of the expected distribution to the expected distribution found under five general alternatives: 1) a revenue hedge using just price futures, 2) a revenue hedge using crop yield futures, 3) an unhedged scenario where revenue is determined by realized prices and yields, 4) an unhedged scenario where revenue is determined by realized prices and yields and by participation in government support programs with deficiency payments, and 5) a no hedge scenario where revenue is determined by...

A major part of Australian cattle trade takes place in markets for animals which do not meet the specifications for the trade steer contract. However, producers, processors and marketers of cattle which are nondeliverable on the futures market may be able to make use of the futures market through the process of cross hedging.  The aim is to determine whether or not various types of Australian cattle could, in fact, have been cross hedged successfully in the past using the existing Australian cattle futures contracts. Cross hedging is evaluated over time, space and product form to assess the potential for cross hedging that has existed since the Sydney Futures Exchange's cattle contract was first offered for trading.

Autores: Blake,   Martin L.; Catlett,   Lowell B.
This study examines the use of corn futures contracts to cross hedge both U.S. hay and New Mexico alfalfa hay.  Correlations between monthly spot U.S. hay prices and corn futures prices ranged from .828 to .970 and were all significant at the alpha= .001 level.  Multiple regression was used to determine the optimal corn futures contract month to cross hedge each spot monthly hay price.  Regressions were used to determine the coverage ratio of tons of hay per corn futures contracts.  A routine cross hedge was simulated and showed that cross hedging hay using corn futures increases gross returns per ton of hay.

Bearing this in mind, the researcher, as well as the marketer, is not only able to observe whether one product is preferred to another, but also to understand why this product is preferred. Hence, identifying consumers' personal values contributes to explaining consumer preferences and buying motives, which is of great importance for marketing practice. Personal values that are developed during the process of socialisation are part of a culture and differ depending on one's cultural background. Therefore, culture- specific values result in specific consumer behaviour. The aim of our paper is to combine research about buying motives...

Um dos mais marcantes fenômenos observados na economia agrícola brasileira nas últimas décadas, e de forma acelerada nos anos mais recentes, é o surgimento de novas fronteiras agrícolas. Sabe-se que um dos grandes problemas advindos do surgimento destas novas fronteiras agrícolas é a distância das mesmas as zonas portuárias. Visto que no trajeto até os portos, para exportação, os custos de transporte e as perdas auferidas são inúmeras. Ou seja, os custos de transportes tem aumentado e muito o preço final dos produtos agrícolas, fazendo com que os produtos brasileiros perca competitividade frente ao mercado internacional, diminuído assim nossas exportações. Desta forma, o presente trabalho tem como foco averiguar qual o menor custo logístico para o...

Autores: Nunes,Amanda Letícia Pit; Abi-Saab,Otavio Jorge Grigoli; Ralisch,Ricardo.
ABSTRACT: Customer Relationship Management can be regarded as a business approach. The objective was to know the customers, meet their expectations, and thus build customer loyalty. Although, the agricultural sector makes significant economic contributions to the Brazilian market and induces sharp competition among its companies, a huge opportunity still presents itself for the diffusion and implementation of CRM in the agricultural machinery sector. This study aimed to highlight the importance of customer management, by introducing the customer relationship management (CRM) concept. This is possible in the event of reselling agricultural machines, with the intention of retaining the customers and raising the profitability of these companies. It is...

Customer Relationship Marketing: Current Status and Prospects for the Food Retailing Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hawkes,   Gerard F.
The supermarket industry has been developing customer relationship marketing (CRM) programs and strategies for over 15 years. At this point the impacts of CRM on the supermarket industry are mixed at best. Despite the potential to radically change the way supermarket business is conducted, there is also the possibility that CRM could be marginalized by supermarket companies as just another management fad. This study employed a combination of literature review, retailer surveys, interviews with supermarket and manufacturer executives, and consumer focus groups to examine CRM in the U.S. supermarket industry. Our research focused on identifying the current status of CRM programs, on the role of CPGs in those programs, and the industry-specific issues...

Autores: Lulfs-Baden,   Frederike; Spiller,   Achim; Zuhlsdorf,   Anke; Mellin,   Matthias.
The importance of direct marketing for high quality farm products has increased during the past few years. This paper analyzes the impact of customer satisfaction and its driving forces for farmer-to-consumer direct marketing and is based on a customer survey among 1,537 customers in 33 organic and conventional on-farm stores in Germany. The results emphasize the role of store atmosphere, customer service and product quality as the main factors which influence customer satisfaction.

DAIRY FARM SIZE, ENTRY, AND EXIT IN A DECLINING PRODUCTION REGION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rahelizatovo,   Noro C.; Gillespie,   Jeffrey M.
As with most agricultural industries, the U.S. dairy industry has evolved into a structure including fewer yet larger firms. In Louisiana, total milk production has declined along with dairy farm numbers since 1972. This study addresses the impact of alternative policies, macroeconomic factors, and technology on the structure of the Louisiana dairy industry using a micro-data non-stationary Markov chain analysis. Results indicate that a number of factors have affected the structure of the industry in Louisiana, including but not limited to prices, milk supply reduction programs, technology and interest rates.

Dairy supply chain modernisation in Poland – what about those not keeping the pace?

Autores: Falkowski,   Jan; Malak-Rawlikowska,   Agata; Milczarek-Andrzejewska,   Dominika.
Taking into consideration a significant outflow of Polish farmers from dairy sector, we investigate what factors determine their decision to quit milk sales. We also analyse their current revenues and compare with that of similar households that remained in commercial milk production. Using logit model we find that severing relations with the market is mainly determined by worse endowment of farms with dairy specific assets, smaller cow herds and older age of the farm manager. Based on semi-parametric matching methods we find that in terms of revenues farms that decided for subsistence milk production perform worse than those that maintained commercial dairy business. However, more detailed analysis shows that this difference could be attributed to supply...

We utilize the outbreak surveillance data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to examine whether consumer demand is impacted by the outbreak of food-borne disease. An additional person sickened due to the ingestion of tainted cheese products at home is found to decrease per capita milk demand in New York State by 0.13 percent (or 0.07 pound), while milk and ice cream-borne disease outbreaks, occurring at home or in public places, are found to have no impact on fluid milk demand. Our results imply the existence of word-of-mouth effects, which cannot be tested by the popular information/media index approach used to measure food-borne disease outbreaks. We also find that a 7 percent increase in generic advertising expenditures or a 10...

Data Aggregation and Vertical Price Transmission: An Experiment with German Food Prices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: von Cramon-Taubadel,   Stephan; Loy,   Jens-Peter; Meyer,   Jochen.
The impact of cross sectional aggregation over individual retail stores on the estimation and testing of vertical price transmission between the wholesale and retail levels is investigated using a unique data set of individual retail prices in Germany. Systematic differences between the results of estimations using aggregated data on the one hand, and disaggregated data on the other, are discussed theoretically and confirmed empirically. The results suggest that estimation with aggregated data generates misleading conclusions about price transmission behavior at the level of the individual units (i.e. retail stores) that underlie these aggregates.

DECOMPOSING CHANGES IN RETAIL FOOD WAGE DISTRIBUTIONS, 1983-1998: A SEMI-PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Budd,   John W.; McCall,   Brian P.
What role has the growing practice of eating out rather than at home played in the evolution of wages in retail food?  Between 1983 and 1998, real wages fell for nearly all types of  grocery store employees, whether they were relatively well paid, poorly paid, or somewhere in the middle. This resulted in an eight and a half percent decrease in the average real wage, but unlike many other industries, there was no increase in wage inequality. The "food away from home trend" is apparently connected to the deterioration in grocery store wages for all employees except those earning somewhere in the top ten percent of wages. Without this change in consumer behavior, average real grocery store wages would have risen by seven percent rather than falling by 12...

This paper estimates values of the delivery options implicit in the CBOT corn futures contract. Joint values of the timing and location options are estimated for the years 1989-97. By interacting the effects of the two delivery options, a potentially more accurate estimates are obtained. Two models are presented that rely on different assumptions about the institutional setup of the delivery process. The first model approximates the discreteness of the three day delivery process, while the second model relies on an assumption of immediate delivery that is consistent with the existing literature on pricing options. Individual hedgers can use these models to help them make delivery decisions. When all the costs of delivery are incorporated, true value of the...

Demand for Private Marketing Expertise by Organic Farmers: A Quantile Analysis Based on Counts
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lohr,   Luanne; Park,   Timothy A.
We study the demand by organic farmers for technical advice using a quantile regression for the demand of organic farmers for consultations with private information providers. There is substantial heterogeneity in the impact of critical explanatory variables on consultations of organic farmer. Larger farm size has a positive effect on contacts, but the effect is absent for the highest number of consultations. Internet use has a positive marginal effect on visits to private information providers across each quantile, suggesting that expanded efforts to deliver programs through web-based resources are a useful investment for information providers.

Most African communities depend on agriculture for both income generation and food security and yet farming has faced and is still confronted with a lot of production and market related hardships. Despite all these constraints, farmers are stuck on agriculture as it’s the only definite way of earning a living. The mistake farmers and other agricultural practitioners continuously make is to produce first and look for the market later. This is where buyers and the middle men in particular exploit and a conclusion is eventually made by the producer that,” there is no money in agriculture.” Farmers including those who want to reap from agriculture need to first change their attitudes towards it and secondly produce what the markets are demanding at particular...

Autores: Govindasamy,   Ramu; Kumaraswamy,   Anicham; Puduri,   Venkata S.; Onyango,   Benjamin M.
This study analyzed the influence of demographic and behavioral characteristics on the likelihood of a consumer to read food advertisements in grocery brochures and the likelihood of a consumer to shop at more than one store to purchase advertised specials. Overall, 73% and 46% of respondents read food advertisements and shop multiple stores to purchase advertised specials, respectively. Consumer characteristics which are shown to influence the reading of food advertisements and shopping at more than one food store to buy advertised specials were the possession of education beyond the 2/4 year college degree and the tendency to read ingredient labels.

DEMOGRAPHIC VERSUS MEDIA ADVERTISING EFFECTS ON MILK DEMAND: THE CASE OF THE NEW YORK CITY MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.
An advertising-sales response model is extended to include the effects of demographic factors (age and race) as additional determinants of milk demand.  Previous research indicates that the age structure of a population and its racial composition are primary factors influencing fluid milk sales.  Failure to incorporate these factors in the milk demand model results in a 30 percent downward biased estimate of the advertising effect.  Consequently, the economic effectiveness of milk advertising is understated when the effects of demographic variables are ignored.  Changes in demographic factors (growing nonwhite population and shrinking teenage market) appear to explain the relatively flat trend in per capita milk sales in the New York City market over the...

Autores: Glitsch,   Kristina; Eerits,   Alena.
Like in other CEEC, transition in the beginning of the 1990s had significant consequences for the agricultural and food sectors in Slovakia. For example, Slovakian consumers reacted to the abolition of consumer subsidies by drastically reducing their consumption of milk and milk products. Concurrently, milk production declined and now stands at fifty percent of its 1989 level. Dairies were closed down while those remaining carried on producing under constantly increasing overcapacities. In the years prior to EU accession, activities in the milk sector were primarily aimed at the adoption of EU standards. Meanwhile, the Slovakian milk processing industry is predominantly in the possession of foreign investors. Present per capita consumption of milk and milk...

Tomatoes have the largest share among fruits and vegetables, which add substantially to the gross agricultural product in Turkey. We describe the structure and development of this sector from the year 1990 onwards, covering farms in primal production, trade facilities, processing firms, and marketing channels. An analysis of retail prices for table tomatoes in 22 provinces and their dynamics follows. Finally we employ a threshold vector error-correction model to analyse integration among the markets for table tomatoes in the presence of transaction costs. The results show a ring of integrated provinces along the coasts of Turkey, while the interior provinces are rather separated. In some cases price transmission only occurs when deviations from an...

Deregulation of the Australian Wheat Export Market: What Happened to Wheat Prices?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Curwen,   Reece; Mugera,   Amin W.; White,   Benedict.
This paper investigates whether deregulation of the Australian wheat export market induced a structural change in the price data generation process. We examine the unit root properties of Western Australian wheat prices by testing for the possibility of single and double structural breaks in the price series. Daily prices for the period 20th of May 2003 to 14th of September 2010 are used. We find that the wheat price series has a unit root with two structural breaks but neither break coincided with the time when the Wheat Export Marketing Act 2008 came into effect on 1 July 2008. We conclude that change in local market behaviour would have started prior to actual deregulation with subsequent effect on local price.

This paper develops a method to estimate the distribution of futures price movements from traded European options using a flexible mixture of lognormals distributional assumption. More specifically, the objectives are: 1) develop an alternative method for pricing commodity options when excess skewness and fat-tailed distributions in the underlying futures price can be modeled as a mixture of two lognormal processes. 2) apply this method to elicit implied distributions from corn, soybean, and wheat futures option prices and test how well this forecasting model predicts distribution. 3) evaluate the performance and forecasting ability of this alternative method.

Atualmente, no Brasil, a embalagem mais usada para tomate continua sendo a caixa de madeira que era usada para transportar querosene na Segunda Guerra Mundial, há meio século, conhecida por caixa ´K´. Os aspectos desejáveis da caixa 'K' incluem o fato de ser retornável e resistente. Os aspectos indesejáveis incluem o fato de possuir superfície áspera; alojar patógenos, funcionando como fonte de inóculo; aberturas laterais cortantes; profundidade excessiva, que comporta grande número de camadas de produtos; ser tampada. Essas características favorecem às injúrias mecânicas e comprometem a durabilidade e qualidade das hortaliças.

Most markets have evolved as buyers and sellers constantly search for ways to create value, however this has not occurred naturally in all areas of the economy – markets are missing for some goods, including the environment. In such cases, transaction costs linked to property rights, asymmetric and hidden information and packaging problems have often prevented otherwise valuable deals from being negotiated in relation to the environment. However new capabilities and a better knowledge and understanding of the problems at hand now mean that where the objective is clear, and the knowledge, skills and capability exist to understand, model and measure the relevant characteristics of the problem transaction costs are low enough that economists can, in certain...

Many developing countries are currently in the process of designing regulatory systems that should make it possible to use the potential of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for agricultural development, while at the same time managing the risks for food safety and the environment that are potentially associated with these technologies. In view of the considerable costs associated with biotechnology regulation and the scarcity of biosafety specialists, there are processes in various regions of the developing world to establish regional systems of biotechnology regulation.

Designing the Last Mile of the Supply Chain in Africa: Firm Expansion and Managerial Inferences from a Grocer Model of Location Decisions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Weatherspoon,   Dave D.; Ross,   Anthony.
The recent interest in the expansion of retail food chains and the perceived problems resulting from competition between these new, sophisticated supply chains and the most basic of food distribution networks in emerging economies have been greatly debated in the literature. This paper is a seminal approach to examining South-South food firm (grocer) foreign direct investment by incorporating data on the informal market into a facility location decision model. There are unique environmental complexities that developing/transitioning economies present. The unique finding of this model is that informal employment patterns, in both Agricultural and non-Agricultural sectors, influence the firm’s location. Given the absence of data, South-South foreign direct...

Autores: Marques,   Romao Honorio Serpa; Aguiar,   Danilo Rolim Dias de.
This study compares the producers who use future markets with those that don’t use this strategy to figure out the principal characteristics that differentiate them. Moreover there were studied the methods and strategies that farmers use for reducing price risk of soybeans. Besides identifying the strategies adopted by the producers, they were identified the key factors related to the choice of futures markets strategies. The methodological approach adopted is based on the estimate of a logit model. Based on the results, it is verified that the variables “education”, “gross income” and “work out of the property” were decisive on the use of in the adoption of futures markets.

DETERMINANTS OF MARKETED SURPLUS IN RURAL HOUSEHOLDS:  TOWARD AN APPLIED RESEARCH AGENDA FROM AN AFRICAN POLICY PERSPECTIVE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newman,   Mark D.
African governments are increasingly interested in understanding factors affecting the marketing of staple food grains by rural households which produce partially for home consumption.  Food security depends not only on aggregate production, but also the distribution of production by income group, social class and geographical area.  The availability of food to nonagricultural producers and those who produce insufficient amounts to satisfy their subsistence requirements is influenced by the interaction of variables affecting the allocation of production between sales and other disposals, consumption, and storage.  Grain which is added to disposals limits household consumption as well as security provided by on-farm stocks.  At the same time, if sold, it...

Determinants of Meats Purchase Behavior by Ethnic Groups
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Garcia-Jimenez,   Carlos I.; Mishra,   Ashok K.
Farmers and food companies need to assess their production and marketing strategies for nurturing business opportunities that will arise from the simultaneous increase in population and income of Hispanics in the United States. Previous studies on demand for meat products have not received much attention on the determinants of meats purchase behavior by Hispanics in relation to other ethnic groups. This study investigates the impact of ethnicity and the determinants of meats purchase behavior in the U.S. by using single Probit equations. The analyzed data comes from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey. The results indicate that ethnicity plays an important role in the purchase behavior of meat products, as well as household size and income.

Determinants of purchasing behaviour for organic and integrated fruits and vegetables in Slovenia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kuhar,   Ales; Juvancic,   Luka.
A country-vide survey related to purchasing behaviour of organic and integrated fruit and vegetables has been prepared for Slovenia. An ordered probit model of consumer choice was developed on the basis of survey results to quantify various determinants of purchase frequency for organically and integrally produced fruit and vegetables. Results show that purchase of analysed produce is most significantly influenced by their availability in retail outlets, followed by consumers’ income, health and environmental considerations, and visual attractiveness of products. Demand for organically and integrally produced fruit and vegetables could be further stimulated by targeted knowledge and awareness raising actions.

Determinants of Return on Equity in U.S. Local Farm Supply and Grain Marketing Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boyd,   Scott; Boland,   Michael A.; Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Barton,   David G.
Farm supply cooperatives are an important component of the retail agribusiness industry in the United States. The objective of this research is to identify financial variables that are determinants of return on equity in these cooperatives. Firm effects are important and their effect is the result of managerial decision making and director policy. The estimated coefficient on asset size was not statistically significant, suggesting that return on equity is invariant to size over this period.

This study examines the factors that determine the export performance of three major agricultural exportable commodities of cocoa, rubber and palm-kernel in the context of liberalization. Using time series data covering thirty three years and to avoid spurious result, error correction model was applied in the analysis. The unit root test is in line with the a priori expectation that macroeconomic variables are not stationary at their level. Virtually all the variables tested were differenced once before attaining stationarity. Each of the three equations indicated that the dependent variables cointegrated with their arguments at 1 percent level. There is the existence of short term and long term equilibrium relationships between the dependent variables and...

Determinants of small scale farmers' participation in restructured food markets in South Africa: The case of the Tomato sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chikazunga,   Davison; Bienabe,   Estelle; Louw,   Andre.
This paper discusses the effects of markets restructuring on small-scale farmers in South Africa by analysing the determinants of small-scale farmers’ market choices in the tomato sector in two Provinces. South Africa has a very dualistic agricultural sector with a highly performing large-scale capital intensive agriculture on one hand and a traditional, semi subsistence small-scale communal sector on the other. Small farmers’ participation in modern markets (i.e. supermarkets, agro-processors and national fresh produce markets) is thus very low. Furthermore, results from our survey indicate that small-scale tomato growers in Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces prefer supplying informal markets than modern markets. The econometric analysis of household level...

This article develops a varying-parameter advertising model which specifies advertising parameters as a function of variables representing advertising strategies and market environments to explain the varying nature of the advertising responses. Unlike prior models, this model allows researchers to examine the sources of change in advertising effectiveness over time. The model is applied to the New York City fluid milk market for the period from January 1986 through June 1995. Results indicate that advertising strategies and market environments play important roles in determining advertising effectiveness. Particularly, demographic factors were more important than economic factors. The results also suggest that when a market is in an unfavorable or...

Determinants of Use of Government Export Promotion Programs by Agribusiness Firms
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Amponsah,   William A.; Pick,   Daniel H.
The Foreign Agricultural Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been criticized because it appears to favor allocation of Market Promotion Program (MPP) funds to large firms. Because of competition for markets, the USDA has been admonished to devote more attention to export promotion, especially to small firms at the state level. This paper determines that North Carolina providers of export promotion services must place greater emphasis on dissemination information and providing technical assistance to change attitudes toward exporting and export promotion. Also, while high export sales, per se, are not a good indicator for the use of export promotion programs, positive opinions about export promotion and a firm’s growth are good...

The first step in planning and delivering a successful program is to identify the needs and interests of the target audience. The North Central Risk Management Education Center, which provides grants for educational programs for producers in the 12 north central states in the US, conducted a series of focus groups with producers. The goals of the focus groups were to: 1) determine the impact of funded programs; 2) assess risk management education needs of producers; 3) assess preferred delivery methods; and 4) determine program characteristics that will enhance participation. The participants had an average age of 45 which is about 12 years younger than the average age of all farmers. With 1,861 acres of owned and rented land, they had slightly larger...

Autores: Amadou,   Zakou; Raper,   Kellie Curry; Ward,   Clement E.; Biermacher,   Jon T.; Cook,   Billy.
Factors influencing the profitability of retaining and feeding cull cows beyond culling were investigated. First, a price response function is estimated using 19 years of monthly price data as reported by Agricultural Market Services (AMS). Net returns are then estimated using data from a three year cull cow feeding experiment conducted at The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation and used to examine the relative effect of various factors on net returns.  Results showed the importance of average daily gain increases across feeding periods while feeding system is also an important contributing factor to net returns.

DETERMINISTIC NONPARAMETRIC MARKET POWER TESTS: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Raper,   Kellie Curry; Noelke,   Corinna M.
A review of recent literature reflects the development of several deterministic nonparametric market power tests.  We use Monte Carlo experiments to evaluate the veracity of four monopolistic and four monopsonistic market power tests that use the deterministic nonparametric approach.  The experiments are implemented using data from ten known market structures.  When results are compared to Raper, Love, and Shumway's (1999) findings concerning parametric market power tests in the Bresnahan-Lau tradition, we find that the parametric tests perform well while only two of the nonparametric tests appear able to identify market power.

Autores: Abele,   Steffen; Twine,   Edgar; Ntawuruhunga,   Pheneas; Baguma,   Yonah; Kanobe,   Charles; Bua,   Anthony.
The transition out of extreme poverty and hunger in agrarian economies requires an understanding of how new agricultural technologies are adopted by poor farmers. In Uganda, improved germplasm from the cassava breeding program has generated new varieties that are increasingly being grown by farmers. Although considerable success has been achieved in adoption of these varieties in general, there is increasing pressure on breeding and technology dissemination programs to improve the targeting of their efforts. This paper identifies the specific cassava varieties adopted thus far and their desirable and undesirable attributes. In addition, it determines the adoption rates of these varieties and the factors that have influenced the speed of adoption of the...

The purpose of this research report is to identify the appropriate market benchmark price to use to evaluate the pricing performance of market advisory services that are included in the annual AgMAS pricing performance evaluations. Five desirable properties of market benchmark prices are identified. Three potential specifications of the market benchmark price are considered: the average price received by Illinois farmers, the harvest cash price, and the average cash price over a two-year crop marketing window. The average cash price meets all of the desired properties, except that it would not be easily implementable by producers. It can be shown, though, that the price realized via a more manageable strategy of "spreading" sales during the marketing...

Electronic trade platforms support trading transactions between enterprises. They have entered the business landscape including the agri-food sector only a few years ago. However, there already have been dramatic changes in the agri-food sector’s platform infrastructures. This paper analyzes developments in electronic trade platform infrastructures in the agri-food sector of the US and Europe between 2000 and 2002 and identifies development strategies of successful platforms. Of 85 platforms in existence in the year 2000, only 25 remained active in 2002. But there are still market entries of new platforms and existing platforms form various types of partnerships. The analysis could identify a range of strategic development lines of successful platforms....

The debate on fertilizer reform process in Zambia has two contrasting views. Some stakeholders continue to be convinced that the private sector is unable to adequately serve the needs of smallholder farmers, especially in the more remote parts of the country. Only 20 per cent of smallholder farmers used fertilizer in 1999/00. There are serious concerns over private traders’ willingness to deliver inputs on credit for low-resource farmers. According to this view, government fertilizer and credit distribution are indispensable for promoting smallholder agricultural productivity growth. Others believe that the fertilizer market should be restructured even more fully to remove the constraints on the private sector and reduce the drain on the public treasury....

Devil or Angel? The Role of Speculation in the Recent Commodity Price Boom (and Bust)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Scott H.; Sanders,   Dwight R.; Merrin,   Robert P.
It is commonly asserted that speculative buying by index funds in commodity futures and over–the–counter derivatives markets created a ‘‘bubble’’ in commodity prices, with the result that prices, and crude oil prices, in particular, far exceeded fundamental values at the peak. The purpose of this paper is to show that the bubble argument simply does not withstand close scrutiny. Four main points are explored. First, the arguments of bubble proponents are conceptually flawed and reflect fundamental and basic misunderstandings of how commodity futures markets actually work. Second, a number of facts about the situation in commodity markets are inconsistent with the existence of a substantial bubble in commodity prices. Third, available statistical evidence...

The study used programming methods to assess the farm-level impact of incorporating forages, including dual purpose Cajanus cajan (C. cajan), into the crop-livestock system in the Coastal Savannah Zone of Ghana. The system was modeled in GAMS and solved using linear programming. The optimal enterprise mixes and their resultant net revenues with and without the interventions and therefore the change in net revenue were obtained. The intervention was to grow forages as part of the crop-livestock system and feed them to milking cows and their calves for increased milk production and growth. The grain of the forage was used as food by the farmers, and manure from the animals was also used for crop production. The effect of policy options like educating farmers...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Diersen,   Matthew A.
The information value of the former USDA voluntary price reporting system is investigated for dressed weight slaughter steers. The ability of the former system to promote market transparency and price discovery in the cash market is evaluated with state level mandatory price reporting data collected from September 1999 to April 2001. The empirical framework evaluates the informational value of public price reports according to the criteria established in the market integration literature. The empirical results indicate that in the cash market for dressed weight steers, in South Dakota and Nebraska the former voluntary price reporting system did foster market transparency and aided in the price discovery process.

Differences in Prices and Price Risk Across Alternative Marketing Arrangements Used in the Fed Cattle Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Muth,   Mary K.; Liu,   Yanyan; Koontz,   Stephen R.; Lawrence,   John D.
Information on prices and price risk differences across marketing arrangements aids fed cattle producers in making choices about marketing methods. As part of the congressionally mandated Livestock and Meat Marketing Study, we investigated fed cattle price and price risk differences across marketing arrangements. The analysis uses data representing cattle purchased by 29 large beef packing plants from October 2002 through March 2005. Results indicate that marketing agreements offered the best tradeoff between price level and price risk. Forward contracts had the lowest average yet highly volatile prices. Auction barn prices were higher than other methods but also the most volatile.

Autores: He,   Na; Bernard,   John C.
Auction experiments were used to examine demand and premium differences between organic, non-GM (genetically modified), and conventional versions for two pairs of fresh and processed foods. Results showed processed foods had greater substitutability among the versions than fresh products. Conventional versions were the least price sensitive, while non-GM versions were the most sensitive. Significant premium differences were found between fresh and processed foods for sweet corn and tortilla chips, but not for potatoes and potato chips. Results from random effects models mirrored these findings. In general, the extent of premium differences between fresh and processed versions appears dependent on the food product.

Differential Effects Rail Deregulation in the U.S. Grain Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vachal,   Kimberly; Bitzan,   John; Vanwechel,   Tamara; Vinje,   Dan.
The efficiency benefits of U.S. rail industry deregulation are well documented in previous studies of rail productivity and declining rail rates. This research provides new insight regarding the accrual of these benefits within the grain industry. A disaggregate study of corn, wheat, and soybean rates across nine producing regions, shows that in recent years the railroads ability to differentiate markets based on competitive environment has shifted relatively more of the benefit to regions with the most competitive market environments. Regions with less competitive pressure will continue to be relatively more disadvantaged in the rates that are an important determinant in grain market flows and producer profitability if these trends continue.

Differential Marketing of Agricultural Products Dominated by Rural Cooperative Economic Organizations
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Li,   Guang-ming.
Differential marketing is a strategy opposed to competitive convergence mainly characterized by seeking development in differences. Therefore, marketing of agricultural products dominated by rural cooperative economic organizations has an important practical role. Taking Manas County in Xinjiang Province as an example, agricultural marketing system dominated by rural cooperative economic organizations develops rapidly, mainly reflected in ① constructing agriculture industry association based on characteristic industry and superior industry ② establishing professional economic association, ③ setting up professional technique research association based on scientific research institutes and institutions of higher educations, ④ forming professional...

Aiming to identify how marketing tools influence the coffee consumer’s purchasing behavior, a piece of marketing research with exploratory and descriptive analyses, of qualitative nature was accomplished. The survey was used, with structured questionnaires applied to 800 consumers (São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro) in hypermarkets from July to December 2001. The questionnaires were tabulated and analyzed by utilizing the SSPS software (v.10) with descriptive and multivariate statistic analyses. The sample consisted mostly of consumers of the female gender, married, aged between 20 and 40 years, belonging, in general, to the social class B, senior high school educated. Among the marketing tools, it was found that the features related to the...

Objetivou-se analisar a estrutura e a dinâmica da cadeia agroindustrial do café brasileiro após a desregulamentação e seus ajustamentos para atender as exigências do mercado. Estimou-se estrutura e valores da cadeia por meio dos custos e da produção. Dados e informações foram levantados na internet e em trabalhos precursores. Os resultados mostraram que o café continua sendo um dos produtos mais importantes do agronegócio brasileiro. Com a desregulamentação, houve instabilidade nos preços e os ajustamentos tanto dos preços quanto das imperfeições dos agentes da cadeia ocorreram de forma lenta. Por outro lado, o mercado imprimiu certa dinâmica em toda a cadeia agroindustrial do café. Criaram-se novos nichos de mercado, com ênfase na diferenciação do...

Direct and Intermediated Marketing of Local Foods in the United States
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Low,   Sarah A.; Vogel,   Stephen J.
This study uses nationally representative data on the marketing of local foods to assess the relative scale of local food marketing channels. This research documents that sales through intermediated marketing channels, such as farmers’ sales to local grocers and restaurants, account for a large portion of all local food sales. Small and medium-sized farms dominate local foods sales marketed exclusively through direct-to-consumer channels (foods sold at roadside stands or farmers’ markets, for example) while large farms dominate local food sales marketed exclusively through intermediated channels. Farmers marketing food locally are most prominent in the Northeast and the West Coast regions and areas close to densely populated urban markets. Climate and...

Direct Marketing Local Food to Chefs: Chef Preferences and Perceived Obstacles
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Curtis,   Kynda R.; Cowee,   Margaret W.
Increasing consumer preferences for locally produced foods, exhibited by the nationwide expansion of farmers markets, is likely to affect food-service establishments. This study used a mail and telephone survey to evaluate chefs’ preferences and attitudes towards purchasing locally produced foods for their restaurants. Results show that chefs are most concerned with food quality, taste, and freshness. Chefs of small gourmet, independently owned restaurants are more likely to purchase local foods. Gourmet chefs are more concerned with food-production practices and thus see the value of purchasing local foods. Lack of information was found to be the largest hurdle to purchasing local products, clearly demonstrating the need for additional information and...

Direct Marketing of Specialty Crops by Producers: A Price-Comparison between Farmers' Markets and Grocery Stores
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Watson,   Jonathan Adam; Gunderson,   Michael A.
Oftentimes, prices at farmers' markets are much cheaper than those at grocery stores.  However, little is known about the pricing relationship between farmers' markets and nearby grocery stores.  Only by further analyzing this relationship can we gain a better understanding of these pricing trends.  Although this trend is seemingly consistent, further research is necessary to test this assumption.  Through the collection of prices at both locales, farmers' markets and grocery stores, producers as well as consumers will have access to current prices in both markets.  In recent years, consumers are looking for local produce and are willing to pay for them as they are faced with increased grocery store prices, while producers are simultaneously seeking to...

Direct Selling: a Marketing Strategy to Shorten Distances between Production and Consumption
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Aguglia,   Laura; De Santis,   Francesco; Salvioni,   Cristina.
Direct sales became in recent years a diversification strategy increasingly used by farms to answer the CAP reform, as well as to react to the continuous price squeeze. Direct sales is in fact a form of marketing that allow farmers to retain a higher share of the final value of products. Far from being a way back to tradition, short chains and direct sales can be seen as strategies to capture new segments of demand interested in local and fresh food, and in more direct contact between consumers and suppliers. The aim of this work is to study the recent evolution of direct selling in Italy and the determinants of the adoption of this marketing strategy. The first part of the paper analyses the evolution of Italian short supply chains and the development of...

Autores: Carman,   Hoy F.
There is a growing consumer segment demanding healthy foods and diets, health and nutrition messages can expand food demand, and governments in the U.S. and EU, faced with increasing obesity and associated health outcomes, want consumers to have reliable information to choose healthy diets. California commodity organizations, charged with expanding the demand for almonds, avocados, strawberries and walnuts, are funding health and nutrition research as a means to discover a unique selling proposition for each product. Research and promotion effects are attracting interest by other commodity groups. Policy and regulatory issues abound.

Discussion: Animal Identification Systems in North America: Achievements and Future Challenges
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Knutson,   Ronald D.
Although Canada has developed an effective animal identification system, and the provinces are progressing toward a system that has full traceback capabilities, the U.S. and Mexico have made little or no progress. Contemporary U.S. proposals for state initiatives will not work. In the meantime, the U.S. livestock industry will continue to lose markets for its products and has little to no basis for complaining about lost sales and the lack of open markets. Also indentified are relevant economic and political principles that both underlie animal identification systems and the failure to make positive steps forward toward establishing a North American animal identification system.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fortenbery,   T. Randall.
This paper examines three invited papers focused on commodity prices. Public responses to high nominal commodity prices and perceived increases in price risk have ranged from attempts to assign blame, attempts to change contracting arrangements, and development of public policy that ‘‘protects’’ the market from future occurrences of unacceptable behavior. Interestingly, a result of increased commodity price volatility has suggested that futures markets no longer ‘‘work.’’ This is ironic given that futures markets initially came into existence as tools for managing the negative impacts of commodity price risk. In response to perceptions of market failure some are looking for strategies to regulate the who and how of futures trading.

Autores: Rosson,   C. Parr, III.
These three invited papers examine the role that exchange rates may have in influencing commodity prices, input prices and farm income. The papers arguably represent one of the most important recent attempts to quantify and explain these new linkages. As U.S. and world agriculture moves from a period of high output prices to a period of lower prices, understanding the impact of macroeconomic variables on farm input costs and farm income will become more important. Further, it will be equally important for policy makers to undertake appropriate market interventions in order to have maximum effectiveness should this period of cost-price-squeeze continue to intensify. Each of the papers has something significant to contribute to the understanding and debate...

Distribution of economic benefits from the fisheries of Lake Victoria
Provedor de dados: 20

The Lake Victoria fishery contributes immensely to the socio-economic development of the riparian states. The East African Community has designated the lake basin as an ‘economic growth zone’, with the potential to develop into a major economic region. The fisheries are vital in creating employment opportunities, mostly rural-based, thereby helping to reduce rural-urban migration. Fish is also a rich source of animal protein for human consumption and provides raw material (fishmeal) for processing animal feeds. The fish industry contributes to GDP and has continued to be an important source of foreign exchange earned from fish exports. Besides, the fish industry contributes to the national and local government revenues through levying of various taxes,...

Distribution of Gains from Research and Promotion in Multi-Stage Production Systems: Further Results
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chung,   Chanjin; Kaiser,   Harry M.
In this study, we examine the distributional effects of research versus consumer promotion. A few years ago, a notable article by Wohlgenant (AlAE 75, 1993) investigated this issue and concluded that producers would benefit more from research on farm-level production than from research on marketing services and promotion. His findings have drawn important policy implications for the allocation of checkoff funds, especially for those producer groups (e.g., dairy, beef, and pork) who spend a large share of their funds on consumer promotion. We challenge his conclusions. We contend that his findings are confined to a special case, the parallel shift in demand and supply. To verify our claim, we reexamined his findings with an alternative case, a pivotal...

INTRODUCTION : « The fishing industry is still flourishing » but in Corsica as elsewhere, it has already been declining; sea floors are getting depleted. Several vessels have laid up. Where are we in 1989? Corsica fishing is strongly seasonal. The bulk of the activity takes place from spring time to early fall and focuses on bottom fish and sea crayfish. Three types of fishing can be identified: - Trawl fishing on the eastern coast plateau, (16 trawlers). - Trammel fishing to catch rock fish and sea crayfish on the western coast of the island (300 low power and tonnage ships, i.e. 50 KW and 4TJB). - Pond fishing (a few small units). Total catching amounts to roughly 1 000 tons. The fishing fleet is very dispersed along 1 080 km of coast and sometimes faces...

Diversification in Low-Grade Coffee-Growing Areas of Veracruz, Mexico: Market Possibilities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leon,   Katia Romero; Houston,   Jack E.; Epperson,   James E.
The economic performance and development prospects of many developing countries are largely dependent on commodity exports. The heavy dependence of such countries on a few commodities has an adverse economic impact. Coffee provides a particularly important share of the export earnings of many developing countries. The world market is largely for high-quality coffee; for this reason, a diversification program in Mexico is important to eliminate dependence on coffee with a low rate of return-in this case, coffee grown in Veracruz in areas under 6500 meters (nearly 2,000 feet) above sea level. This paper evaluates the potential diversification opportunities for this region, particularly for tropical commodities such as papaya, guava, anthurium, and vanilla.

The societies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) contain many and diverse rural cultures which present myriad opportunities for small-scale, high income, locally controlled tourism generation. The negative impact of political and economic change has often been significant in the region’s rural areas. But with spatially and structurally dynamic mix of mass and specialist markets to target, there are increasing opportunities for rural attractions to act as a basic resource for tourism organized and sustained through locally owned small enterprises.

Diversification of the marketing chains among organic producers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Corsi,   Alessandro; Borsotto,   Patrizia; Borri,   Ilaria; Strom,   Steinar.
Diversification of consumers’ demand and environmental concerns are at the origin of a trend towards short marketing chains and towards direct links between consumers and farmers in developed countries. This paper explores farmers’ motivations for choosing these types of marketing chains and/or the “traditional” ones. To this purpose, a theoretical model of marketing chain choice is developed, and a multivariate probit model of organic farmers’ choice of the marketing chain is estimated from a unique data set of organic farms in an Italian region.

DIVERSITY OF SOURCES FOR FRESH PRODUCE: IMPLICATIONS FOR LOCAL MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lohr,   Luanne; Hanson,   Steven D.
Number of suppliers, approximation of equal-shares market condition and market share held by in-state sources were calculated to determine diversity of sources for 10 fresh fruits and vegetables in eight U.S. wholesale markets. Specificity of growing conditions is associated with few supply sources, unequal market shares and limited purchases from in-state suppliers. For crops with few sources, lower perishability and greater transportability are correlated with greater balance in market shares. For crops with many supply sources, greater perishability and greater transportability are consistent with large market share from imports. Diversity across all commodities can increase market share for local producers.

Data on corn and soybean net price received for advisory services, as reported by the AgMAS Project, are available for the 1995, 1996 and 1997 marketing years.

Do Brokers Help or Hinder the Marketing of Fresh Produce in Lusaka?  Preliminary Insights from Research
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tschirley,   David L.; Hichaambwa,   Munguzwe.
Brokers are agents who arrange sales without taking ownership of the commodity, earning their money on a commission. Brokers are a common but often controversial presence in wholesale markets of East and Southern Africa. Efficient brokering can be beneficial by matching buyers and sellers more effectively than if each had to search independently for someone to transact with. Yet buyers and sellers can be harmed if brokers are able to behave in uncompetitive, collusive, or unethical ways. In Soweto market of Lusaka, common complaints lodged by sellers are that brokers force sellers to use them by threatening the security of the sellers’ produce, and that the brokers add  “hidden” commissions when selling a farmer or trader’s produce.

Autores: Colino,   Evelyn V.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Garcia,   Philip.
This paper investigates whether the accuracy of outlook hog price forecasts can be improved using composite forecasts in an out-of-sample context. Price forecasts from four wellrecognized outlook programs are combined with futures-based forecasts, ARIMA, and unrestricted Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models. Quarterly data are available from 1975.I through 2007.IV, which allow for a relatively long out-of-sample evaluation period after permitting model specification and appropriate composite-weight training periods. Results show that futures and numerous composite procedures outperform outlook forecasts. At intermediate horizons, OLS composite procedures perform rather well. The superiority of futures and composite forecasts decreases at longer horizons...

In the European food sector private labels represent a relevant and increasing share of total sales. Thus, national brands need to adapt their marketing strategies to deal with this growing competition. Focusing on price strategies, recent theoretical papers conclude that private label development should cause a decrease in the price of national brands, while some empirical studies do not support this prediction. The aim of this study is to explore this empirical relationship for the Italian food retail sector, which is of special research interest, since it has undergone a dramatic change in the last 10 years. Using retail sales data, we build time series of market shares of prices of national brands and private labels for different dairy products and we...

Do Consumers Pay for Being Healthy Conscious?— An Analysis of Price Discrimination on Healthier Food Product
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhan,   Congnan.
‘Healthier food product’ has experienced a rapid growth rate in recent years in U.S. because of the increasing consumer demand for healthier and environmental friendlier lifestyle. This analysis is looking for price discrimination evidences by comparing price cost margins of regular food products and healthier food products. Price cost margins are computed by solving firms' profit maximization problem and relevant parameters are estimated from consumers' choice decisions. Specifically, price elasticities and price coefficients are estimated using nonlinear GMM estimation in order to construct price cost margin. The empirical analysis employs product level ketchup data across 50 MSA in U.S. from 2001 to 2006.

Do Farmers Benefit from Participating in Specialty Markets and Cooperatives? The Case of Coffee Marketing in Costa Rica
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wollni,   Meike; Zeller,   Manfred.
Historically low prices in the conventional coffee market have caused financial and social hardship among coffee farmers. In the face of this crisis, specialty markets have attracted the attention of the international donor community. These market segments have shown consistent growth over the last decade and exhibit price premiums in international markets. Therefore, if higher prices are passed on to farmers, access to specialty markets could help to alleviate the crisis brought on by low prices in the conventional sector. The present study attempts to identify the factors that determine farmers' participation in specialized markets and whether participation in these markets leads to higher prices for farmers. A two-stage model is used to analyze farmers'...

DO FARMERS GET AN EQUAL BANG FOR THEIR BUCK FROM GENERIC ADVERTISING PROGRAMS?  A THEROETICAL AND EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chung,   Chanjin; Kaiser,   Harry M.
This study presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of the distribution of generic advertising benefits across individual producers. We develop a closed-economy partial equilibrium model that allows for the presence of producer heterogeneity in supply response. Analytical results indicate that producers having less elastic supply response capture more benefits per dollar expended than producers with more elastic supply response. The extent of unequal distribution depends on parameters characterizing industries. The inequality may not be a significant problem for some industries, especially where the firm-level supply elasticities are not substantially different among producers, but it may be an important issue when industries have substantial...

Do Farmers Really Benefit from High Food Prices? Balancing Rural Interest in Kenya's Maize Pricing and Marketing Policy
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Yamano,   Takashi; Nyoro,   James K.; Awuor,   Tom.
This paper uses information from rural household surveys in 24 districts in Kenya to inform current debate on maize pricing policy. Specifically, it sheds light on how rural farm households are being affected by governmental efforts to support maize price levels. Using information on landed import costs of white maize from South Africa with and without the import tariff, it simulates the effects of eliminating the tariff on rural smallholder farmers, large-scale farmers, and urban consumers. It then examines the implications of these findings for the design of strategies to promote agricultural productivity and rural income growth.

This research furthers the assessment of consumer demand for locally produced foods, while also considering a host of other food attributes that may interact to influence consumer utility. Using stated preference data from a choice-based conjoint analysis survey instrument, we estimate willingness-to-pay for processed food products (blackberry jam) that are differentiated with respect to their branding, the location of their production, certification as organically produced, branding as a product of a small family farming association, and carrying a State Proud certification. Although price is the most important single attribute influencing consumer choice for our sample, consumers also were willing to pay more for food products produced in their state or...

Do Market Oriented Firms Demonstrate Clarity on Their Value Discipline? Evidence from Illinois Beef Producers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Micheels,   Eric T.; Gow,   Hamish R.
A market orientation has been shown to lead to improved firm performance in a variety of industries (Narver and Slater, 1990; Deshpande et al., 1993). In previous research, it has been argued that performance benefits are a result of a greater awareness of the sources of value the product provides to the consumer, without specifically describing how value was created. Treacy and Wiersema (1993) developed the concept of value disciplines, which are three distinctive means of value provision, namely operational excellence, customer intimacy and product leadership. More recently, Narver et al. (1998) argued that market oriented firms have a clear understanding of how they provide value to customers, but this assertion has yet to be empirically tested. A new...

Do Native and Invasive Labels Affect Consumer Willingness to Pay for Plants? Evidence from Experimental Auctions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yue,   Chengyan; Hurley,   Terrance M.; Anderson,   Neil O.
The ultimate objective of commercial horticultural activities is to satisfy the needs of the final consumer. Consumer demand for novel plants drives the ornamental plant industry. Therefore, dispersal of native and invasive horticultural plants can be understood by considering the decisions/choices of consumers who decide which plants to purchase from retailers. In contrast to previous studies on invasive and native plants, this study uses an experimental auction to elicit consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for labeled native and invasive attributes. Results from a censored random effect model show that consumers’ WTP for plants decreases when the plants are labeled as invasive and increases when plants are labeled as native. The study finds that...

Do private labels generate customer loyalty in food retailing?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wettstein,   Nadine; Brosig,   Stephan; Glauben,   Thomas; Hanf,   Jon Henrich; Loy,   Jens-Peter.
The increase of private labels in food retailing and retailers' high expenditures for establishing them raise one central question: Do consumers really consider private labels as "real" brands and develop loyalty towards them. We analyse a four year panel data set on frozen pizza purchases to study differences in consumers' repurchasing behaviour between two strong national brands and private labels. In sum, our results show significant differences. However, the observable repurchase behaviour can not fully reflect the attitudinal component of brand loyalty. So subsequently, we present potential approaches to identify the underlying attitudinal component.

DO PROFESSIONAL TRADERS EXHIBIT MYOPIC LOSS AVERSION? AN EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Haigh,   Michael S.; List,   John A.
Two behavioral concepts, loss aversion and mental accounting, have recently been combined to provide a theoretical explanation of the equity premium puzzle.  Recent experimental evidence suggests that undergraduate students' behavior is consistent with this "myopic loss aversion" conjecture.  Our suspicion is that, much like certain anomalies in the realm of riskless decisions, these behavioral tendencies will be severely attenuated when real market players are put to the task.  Making use of a unique subject pool-professional futures and options pit traders recruited from the Chicago Board of Trade-we do find behavioral differences between professionals and students.  Yet, rather than discovering that the anomaly disappears, the data suggest that...

DO QUALITY INCENTIVES MATTER?

Autores: Alexander,   Corinne E.; Goodhue,   Rachael E.; Rausser,   Gordon C.
We utilize an unusual data set, involving fifteen tomato growers over four years, to analyze the impact of incentive contracts on behavior. Each grower delivers processing tomatoes under a price incentives contract and for a fixed price per ton. Our comparison of the quality of the tomatoes delivered under the two arrangements confirms that growers do respond to incentive contracts by improving tomato quality, as predicted by economic theory. The comparison is not confounded by the usual contract endogeneity and simultaneity problems, due to characteristics of the processing tomato industry and our data set.

Do retail coffee prices increase faster than they fall? Asymmetric price transmission in France, Germany and the United States
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gomez,   Miguel I.; Koerner,   Julia.
This investigation examines price transmission asymmetries (PTA) between international and retail coffee prices in the US, France and Germany. Differences in price transmission mechanisms provide evidence for disparities in market structure and market performance across countries. Although all processors of roasted coffee purchase green coffee at the same price in the international markets, one finds significant differences in retail prices among these countries. The study develops an Error Correction (EC) representation model to assess PTA of non-stationary models. Finally, it claims that identifying differences in price transmission asymmetry is an approach to compare market structure across countries.

This paper assesses the impact of promotional activity in the prices of food products on supermarket shelves. The study analyses a unique, high frequency panel of supermarket prices consisting of over 230,000 weekly price observations on around 500 products in 15 categories of food stocked by the UK’s seven largest retail chains. In all, 1,700 weekly time series are available at the barcode-specific level including branded and own label products. Prices are inclusive of promotions and thus allow the frequency, magnitude and duration of sales to be analysed in greater detail than has hitherto been possible with UK data. Using this price data, sales periods are indentified. Results show that around 8% of products are on sale at any one time, and that sales...

DO U.S. MARKETING ORDERS HAVE MUCH MARKET POWER?  AN EXAMINATION OF THE ALMOND BOARD OF CALIFORNIA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Crespi,   John M.; Chacon-Cascante,   Adriana.
This paper tests the conventional wisdom that U.S. marketing orders act as profit-maximizing cartels.  The paper analyzes the marketing order for U.S. almonds in both the domestic and export markets.  Such a case study is relevant to all U.S. marketing orders because the size and scope of the U.S. almond industry on the world market, and the legal authority of the almond marketing order makes it a likely prospect for exhibiting true cartel behavior.  The authors find that the market power exerted by the Almond Board of California's reserve setting is significantly less than would be expected from a profit-maximizing cartel.

The objective of this report is to publish a monthly forecasting tool of the U.S. dairy industry. This model forecasts the milk supply as well as the supply and demand for American cheese, Other cheese, butter, nonfat dry milk, and dry whey. Trade is presently exogenous to the model, but can be endogenized at a later date. The principal use of the model will be for forecasting purposes, thus we settled on a monthly frequency for the data. We delve into the complexities of the U.S. dairy industry using rich data sources. Our objective is clearly focused on developing an initial forecasting tool.

In response to increasing customer attention to food attributes, agribusinesses are employing novel product differentiation strategies. As an example, we investigate the use of food safety claims on new packaged food products from the food manufacturers’ perspective. First, using two product innovation databases, we investigate claim use on labels in seven English-speaking countries over the period from 1980 to 2008. Then, based on manufacturer recommended selling prices and using U.S. data (from 2002 to 2008), we apply parametric and nonparametric hedonic methods to identify supply-side (agribusiness) valuations of chemical and microbiological claims in two food categories. We identify a significant 5 cent premium per ounce for a “preservative free” claim...

Building on earlier work by Cramer, this paper tests for price-advertising interaction effects in the U.S. non-alcoholic beverage market.  Full and restricted specifications of the Rotterdam model are tested along with compensated and first difference double-log models using annual time-series data for the period 1970-2000.  Results are mixed in that the full Rotterdam and first difference double-log models fail to reject the null hypothesis of no rotation while the restricted Rotterdam and compensated double-log models indicate rejection.   One reason for the ambiguous results may be multicollinearity problems associated with the unrestricted models.  Still, our overall conclusion is that there is little solid evidence to suggest that generic advertising...

Does Attractiveness Increase Sales Productivity?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Prickett,   Robert W.
Previous studies found individuals’ attractiveness or beauty is positively correlated with job success. Is this success due to attractiveness alone, or does attractiveness induce greater productivity? This study was conducted to measure the effects of attractiveness on sales productivity. Data from an undergraduate sales class at Purdue University were used to measure the impact of individuals’ attractiveness on sales revenue. Regression analysis was used with sales revenue as the dependent variable and attractiveness measures as independent variables, along with other variables. An asymmetric impact of attractiveness exists for males and females. More attractive females have higher sales revenues, but beauty is unrelated to sales performance for males.

Autores: Zhang,   Mingxia; Sexton,   Richard J.; Alston,   Julian M.
This study investigates market conditions when food processor/handler brand advertising, whether undertaken by an investor-owned firm or by a cooperative, will benefit or harm farmers.  Addressing this question provides insight into the policy issue of whether and when promotion funds intended to benefit farmers should be used in support of brand advertising.  Analysis of a two-stage oligopoly-oligopsony model shows that advertising by an investor-owned firm is most likely to be harmful to farmers when it takes place in a relatively unconcentrated industry and when advertising is relatively more effective at creating brand market power than at increasing total demand.

Does Futures Price Volatility Differ Across Delivery Horizon?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Karali,   Berna; Dorfman,   Jeffrey H.; Thurman,   Walter N.
We study the difference in the volatility dynamics of CBOT corn, soybeans, and oats futures prices across different delivery horizons via the smoothed Bayesian estimator of Karali, Dorfman, and Thurman (2010). We show that the futures price volatilities in these markets are affected by the inventories, time to delivery, and the crop progress period. Some of these effects vary across delivery horizons. Further, it is shown that the price volatility is higher before the harvest starts in most of the cases compared to the volatility during the planting period. These results have implications for hedging, options pricing, and the setting of margin requirements.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the generic advertising helps or hurts the brand advertising within the differentiated product environments. We develop an analytical model that includes both generic and brand advertising expenditures considering vertical product differentiation. Then the analysis is devoted to examine how marginal effects of expenditure affect each other under product differentiation. To help examine the relationship, we also include a new variable, the degree of product differentiation. Analytical results show that when the generic advertising increases the product differentiation, the high quality brand tends to take benefits while the low quality brand loses.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Weaver,   Robert D.; Chin,   Ming-Chin.
This paper reconsiders the impacts of generic advertising on commodity prices that may be induced through demand effects.  Rather than considering a simple demand shift, we consider the possibility that advertising leads to a change in the curvature of the demand curve.  In this case, generic advertising is shown to affect both the level of market prices as well as their volatility. Based on parametric tests, we find that the demand elasticity appears to be affected by the intensity of generic advertising.  In addition, we find evidence that generic advertising affects the curvature of the demand curve.  We examine the implications of these findings for the price of beef.  Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that generic advertising enhances...

This study analyzes the relationship between market concentration and new product introductions using an extensive annual panel data set covering the period 1983 to 2004 from the US processed food industry. We test the new theory, which argues that new product introductions are influenced by the anticipation of future mergers. The evidence suggests that market concentration increases new product introductions and product introductions spur subsequent mergers in the US processed food industry. Hence it provides evidence in support of the anticipatory mergers theory.

DOES MONEY ILLUSION MATTER? THE IMPACT OF EURO ON THE VERTICAL TRANSMISSION OF FOOD PRICE IN GERMANY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Glauben,   Thomas; Loy,   Jens-Peter; Meyer,   Jochen.
In this paper the impact of the introduction of the Euro on the vertical price transmission in German food markets is analyzed. It is hypothesized that the presence of money illusion might have lead to higher real prices as a result of the Euro, and if so it must be accompanied with a higher margin between the respective wholesale and retail price. While generally studies focus on the behavior of average prices, in this study the reactions of individual retailers are investigated. For lettuce and chicken the vertical price relationships between retail and wholesale prices are estimated by an error correction approach, which is extended to test for structural breaks with a flexible time frame. The results indicate no impact of the Euro for most of the...

Although microfinance has elicited different reactions from different stakeholders, there seems to be a general agreement that it is useful in reducing poverty. This study is an attempt to contribute in to the debate on the impact of microfinance on household incomes. We use a pooled data set collected from the south western part of Makueni district in Kenya to study the households’ access to microfinance credit and how the credit affects their incomes. We control for household selection bias as well as endogenity problems in the sample. Cross sectional analysis fails to show any significant positive impact of microfinance on poverty reduction. Only after the inclusion of time dynamics in the study are we able to find a weak positive significance of...

Recent increases in the price of crude oil have led to a rise in the prominence of corn-based ethanol as an alternative source of energy. As a result linkages have been established between commodity and energy prices. The aim of this study is to determine if soybeans, corn, wheat, oil, and ethanol adjust their prices asymmetrically depending on whether their actual price is over- or under-predicted with respect to one another. This study’s goal of determining if asymmetric price relationships exist is accomplished by using monthly time series price data incorporated into a distributed lag error correction model distinguishing between positive and negative price difference and positive and negative values of the error correction term.

Does Product Diversity Signal Bargains in Australian Wine?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horowitz,   Ira; Lockshin,   Larry.
The residuals from a set of linear regression equations built to explain the quality of a bottle of Australian wine via eight quality signals are examined to determine whether there is any relationship between their signs for individual producers and the diversity of their offerings. Product diversity is found to be a fault-ridden signal of a quality-bargain, which we define as a bottle of wine whose quality rating exceeds its regression-based expectation. Indeed, to the extent that the signal does impart useful information, the message would be that consumers are less likely to get their money's worth the greater is the diversity of the producer's offerings.

DOES SEPARATION THEOREM EXPLAIN WHY FARMERS HAVE SO LITTLE INTEREST IN FUTURES MARKETS?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Simmons,   Phil.
A farm financial model with leverage and investment in two farm enterprises is specified.  The model is extended to incorporate futures hedging and the Separation Theorem is used to show that optimal hedging is zero.  The assumption of a risk-free asset is relaxed and, while this leads to a violation of the Separation Theorem, the result that optimal hedging is zero is maintained providing that futures markets are efficient.  It is concluded that if capital markets are efficient then farmers will have little interest in futures markets except to speculate.

DOES THE CFTC COMMITMENTS OF TRADERS REPORT CONTAIN USEFUL INFORMATION?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sanders,   Dwight R.; Boris,   Keith.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Commitments of Traders data are examined. Non-commercial positions are thought to contain the least amount of measurement error. Although non-commercials comprise a relatively small percent of the tested markets' open interest (10% to 22%), they have the most volatile net positions. The data demonstrates a statistically (positive) negative contemporaneous correlation between net positions held by (non) commercials and market returns. However, traders' net positions do not lead (Granger cause) market returns. In fact, returns lead traders' net positions. Positive returns result in an (increase) decrease in (non) commercials net positions the following week. The findings suggest that prior empirical results, which...

DOES THE MARKET ANTICIPATE SMOOTHING IN USDA CROP PRODUCTION FORECASTS?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Isengildina,   Olga; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.
This study examines whether market participants anticipate the predictable component in USDA revisions of corn and soybean production forecasts during 1970/71 through 2003/04 marketing years.  The analysis revealed that markets consistently under-predicted October corn production revisions and over-predicted September soybean production revisions.  These biases may be attributable to inefficient use of information about smoothing in USDA revisions.  In all other cases market analysts seemed to be aware of USDA smoothing practices and generally efficiently incorporated this information into their own forecasts.

DOES THE PRODUCER HAVE AN INCENTIVE TO SELL FED CATTLE ON A GRID?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.
Barriers to the adoption of grid pricing by fed cattle producers are investigated over a 206-week period (January 1997 to December 2000).  The empirical findings document the following potential barriers to adoption: (1) when fed cattle are evaluated on a grid pricing system versus a dressed weight pricing system, a price differential per cwt. and a per-head revenue differential exists over time, (2) the price differential per cwt. is subject to seasonal variation, resulting in variability in the monetary incentive to market-fed cattle on a grid relative to selling cattle at an average price, and (3) the variability in per-head grid revenue is consistently higher than per-head dressed weight revenue variability over time.   The marketing implications for...

Does traceability play a role in retailer’s strategies for private labels?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Banterle,   Alessandro; Souza Monteiro,   Diogo M.; Stranieri,   Stefanella.
Traceability is helping retailers manage food safety risks and support product differentiation. This paper aims to investigate how traceability may be used to screen supplier for private labels dedicated provider pools. Retailers in the UK and Italy have several private label product lines and increasingly select dedicated suppliers. The choice of providers is a typical agency problem as retailers contract the production for their private labels, having incomplete information on types and effort of their suppliers. Different contracts must be designed for suppliers of private labels depending on position of the product line and its food safety risk. A case study, based on the second largest Italian retailer reveals that traceability and quality assurance...

Does use of ICT-based market information services (MIS) improve  welfare of smallholder farm households: Evidence from Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Okello,   Julius Juma.
The need to provide agricultural information to farmers has led to emergence of numerous ICT-based MIS projects in developing country. These projects aim at promoting commercialization of smallholder agriculture and subsequently their welfare. This study examines the welfare effects of one such project in western Kenya. It uses household food security and access to medical health services as proxies of welfare. The study finds that farmers that use ICT-based market information are more food secure and have better access to medical health services than their counterpart. It highlights policy implications of these findings.

Autores: Ott,   Stephen L.
In 1995 and 1996, prices for weaned calves were at the lowest point for the current cattle market cycle. The National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) Beef ,97 Study examined the effects of the down market on beef cow-calf herd management practices. Most producers did not alter management practices in response to the down market. Among producers who made changes, costs were cut largely in the area of herd health management. Specific management practices in which costs were cut included decreases in use of vaccinations (7.4% of operations), herd medications (7.7% of operations), individual cow medications (5.0% of operations), and veterinary services (14.1% of operations). Other ways that producers altered management practices in response to the down...

Drivers of Demand for Imported Horticultural Commodities: A Cross-Country Comparison
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rickard,   Bradley J.; St. Pierre,   Christine M.; Becker,   Gabriel M.
International trade of horticultural commodities is increasingly important in many regions of the world, yet relatively little research has studied import patterns of key horticultural crops. Using data between 1991 and 2005, we find that import demand for horticultural commodities in developed countries has been driven primarily by prices and the level of trade openness while income and diet considerations were more important in emerging countries. Furthermore, our results show that the determinants of import demand differed across the selected crops, and therefore information can be lost if data for horticultural commodities are aggregated.

Dynamic Analyses of Major Fruit Markets in Taiwan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hsu,   Jane Lu; Su,   Jyh-Luen.
Fruit production and consumption have increased considerably in the past few decades in Taiwan. Market prices of fruits fluctuate in response to seasonality, changes in production costs, imports and exports, and demand. Some factors are more influential to fruit price changes. This research utilizes the Vector Autoregressive Model to analyze effects of exogenous shocks to market prices of fruits. Dynamic models were developed for bananas, grapes, guavas, papayas, pineapples, and watermelons. For the market of bananas, prices of pesticides have delayed positive effects; an increase of watermelon prices raises the prices of bananas; prices of banana exports explain some variations of domestic banana prices. For the market of grapes, income, interest rates,...

Dynamic Assessment of Bertrand Oligopsony in the U.S. Cattle Procurement Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ji,   In Bae; Chung,   Chanjin.
The new empirical industrial organization approach with the Bertrand model is employed to measure the oligopsony market power in the U.S. cattle procurement market. The assumption of price competition (Bertrand model) based on the nature of cattle production such as cattle cycle and seasonality is used and compared to quantity competition (Cournot model). The empirical results show that the oligopsony market power exists in the U.S. cattle procurement market. The cattle cycle and seasonality affect the oligopsony market power and the cattle cycle causes the change of market power. However, concentration has a negative effect on the oligopsony market power.

Dynamic Assessment of Oligopoly, Oligopsony Power, and Cost Efficiency using the New Empirical Industrial Organization in the U.S. Beef Packing Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ji,   In Bae; Chung,   Chanjin.
In this paper, the new empirical industrial organization approach with a dynamic model is simultaneously employed to measure the degree of oligopoly, oligopsony power, and cost efficiency in the U.S. beef packing industry. The oligopsony power is estimated with two effects: cash cattle procurement market power and captive supply market power. The model is estimated by the Generalized Method of Moments using monthly data from 1990 to 2006. The empirical results reveal the presence of market power in both the beef retail market and the cattle procurement market in the sample period. The captive supply is a source of oligopsony market power, but the effect is considerably small. The oligopsony market power is greater and less stable than oligopoly market...

Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew; Zheng,   Hualu.
This study examines the dynamic effects of grain prices and energy prices on catfish feed prices and the price of food-sized catfish at the farm level. Using the autoregressive distributed lag model and bounds testing procedure, a long-run relationship between feed and farm prices and their determinants was confirmed. Given the effect of corn and soybean meal prices on catfish feed prices, and catfish fish feed prices on farm prices, the long-run responsiveness of feed prices to a percentage increase in U.S. ethanol production is 0.325, and the responsiveness of catfish farm prices is 0.064. Although both feed and farm prices increase with ethanol production, the relatively small responsiveness of farm prices when compared with feed prices suggests that...

This paper analyses U.S. demand for fresh vegetable imports using a dynamic AIDS model. The commodities selected for the study include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and asparagus. The results shows that the demand for fresh vegetable imports is more elastic compared to the demand for domestic fresh vegetables. Also demand for all the fresh vegetables is significantly responsive to changes in own-price and expenditure. Fresh tomatoes, peppers, and cucumber imports do not complement domestic supply as is often believed but are significant substitutes.

Autores: Saak,   Alexander E.
This paper analyzes the optimal informative advertising and price policies of a monopolist who sells a new experience good over time to a population of heterogeneous buyers.  Under certain conditions, the advertising rate first increases and then decreases over the marketing cycle with a peak occurring at the end of the introductory period when prices are low.  Advertising lowers introductory prices but also shortens the period during which they are offered. Advertising raises the share of consumers who know their valuation in the long-run but not necessarily in the short-run

Autores: Saak,   Alexander E.
This paper analyzes the optimal advertising and price policies of a monopolist who sells a new experience good over time to a population of heterogeneous forward-looking buyers.  We consider informative advertising that can complement or substitute for learning-by-purchasing, and show that the advertising intensity always peaks during the early stages when the price extracts surplus from the buyers who are yet to learn their valuation for the good.  We also show that even though informative advertising may temporarily raise prices and slow down the learning process, an advertising ban can reduce welfare.

This paper demonstrates the application of a recently developed methodology, the combination of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) with Bernanke structural vector autoregression (VAR) models, to model a system of U.S. commodity-related and value-added markets. As an example, the paper applies this methodology to a quarterly system of U.S. markets: the wheat market and a set of downstream milling and bakery markets that use wheat as an input. Analyses of the model's impulse response simulations and forecast error variance decompositions provide updated estimates of market elasticity parameters that drive these markets, and updated policy-relevant information on how these quarterly markets run and dynamically interact. Results suggest that movements in...

Dynamic Strategic Behaviour in the Deregulated England and Wales Liquid Milk Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tiffin,   J. Richard.
A model of dynamic oligopsony is estimated for the liquid milk market in the UK. The paper extends existing methods of estimating such models by allowing for the joint estimation of the market conduct equation and the input supply equation. This entails the estimation of a two equation model in which the parameters of one equation change between two regimes whilst those of the other do not. Our results provide little evidence of dynamic strategic behaviour and suggest that the farm-gate price of milk is determined competitively.

Agri-food markets are restructuring, characterised by an increased consolidation and concentration of the industry, as supermarkets continue to expand at an exponential rate throughout the region. Unlike the global phenomenon where the formal markets are replacing informal markets, this is not so in the region. The informal sector is also expanding characterised by a significant level of restructuring. The major supermarkets have restructured their procurement strategies through the introduction of private standards, centralised procurement systems and distribution centres. Despite the increase in agri-food commodities emanating from the expansion of the retail sector, there have been little or no opportunities for smallholder farmers. The restructuring...

Autores: Larson,   Bruce A.
Using the case of shade-grown coffee, this paper examines the market impacts of ‘eco-labels’ for credence attributes.  First, the Mattoo and Singh (1994) test is conducted for the case of shade-grown coffee to investigate the market impacts of a shade label. This analysis in Section II shows that a shade label could “pass” the test, but the market impacts are likely to be minor. Section II also shows how to use estimates of supply, potential demand, and price elasticities of demand and supply to predict eco-label premiums in the post-label equilibrium. And second, given the importance of consumer demands for eco-label impacts, and since the theoretical foundations of demand for eco-labeled items are not well developed in the literature, Section III takes a...

The intense process of internationalisation of the food market is giving rise to new competitive scenarios. The growth of market shares by new export countries, along with other consumer and retailer's issues impose different marketing policies for agri-food products. In particular, a wider awareness of consumers for environmental and health issues is modifying the structure of demand for fresh products. In the past, the country of origin and a convenient quality/price ratio were the main strategic strengths for gaining and maintaining international market shares . Nowadays market shares are gained by moving towards new product attributes, namely environment friendliness and food safety. This paper aims to suggesting new and more successful marketing...

The main emphasis of the present study is the empirical analysis of buyer market power of the Ukrainian milk processing industry on the market for raw milk. For an econometric analysis of pricing behaviour on the Ukrainian market for raw milk a sectoral, comparative-static structural model, based on the New Empirical Industrial Organization (NEIO) framework has been constructed. The model consists of a short-term supply function for raw milk and a first order condition for profit maximizing raw milk demand of the milk processing enterprises. The results of the econometric estimation of the model do not show any evidence for the existence of market power in the Ukrainian milk processing industry on the national level for the estimation period January 1996...

Ultrasound technology is available for accurately measuring intramuscular fat (IMF) in live pigs.  This report provides information on the costs for pig producers and processors to implement this technology and what consumers are willing to pay for pork with improved levels of intramuscular fat.  About half the participants in the willingness to pay study preferred the high IMF chop.  They paid a premium of 25 percent over the low IMF chop.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED NORTH DAKOTA WHEAT POOL

Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Nganje,   William E.; Johnson,   D. Demcey; Park,   Joon J.; Taylor,   Richard D.
The ND Durum Wheat Pool may provide additional revenue to durum wheat producers by raising the domestic prices in the North American market with full cooperation from the Canadian Wheat Board.  The pool also could provide additional revenue to its members by improving marketing efficiency.  On the other hand, the ND Spring Wheat Pool is less likely to provide additional revenue to spring wheat producers by raising domestic prices, mainly because hard red spring and winter wheat are highly substitutable.  Efficiency gains also could be smaller than for durum wheat.

Economic and Marketing Efficiency Among Corn Ethanol Plants
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sesmero,   Juan P.; Perrin,   Richard K.; Fulginiti,   Lilyan E.
We extend data envelopment analysis (DEA) to decompose the economic efficiency of a sample of ethanol plants into internal (technical and allocative) and boundary (marketing) sources. This decomposition allows us to evaluate the channels through which different plant characteristics affect plant performance. Results show that plants are very efficient from a technical point of view. Plants with higher production volumes seem to perform better not because of economies of scale but because they can secure more favorable prices (higher marketing efficiency) and execute production plans accordingly (higher allocative efficiency). This may rationalize the increase in the size of the average plant observed in the industry in recent years despite evidence of...

ECONOMIC CONSIDERATION IN THE ADOPTION AND DIFFUSION OF FOOD LOSS REDUCTION INNOVATIONS IN THE MARKETING PROCESSES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tolmos,   Hugo C. Alvarez.
It is universally recognized that there is a need for increasing the amount of food available for human consumption, and at the same time, for improving the mechanisms of distribution, with views towards making it possible for people to gain access to that food.  Some people have manifested doubts about the possibility of adequately feeding the total human population, given the present trend in population growth and the state of the arts.  Others, the majority, believe that solutions exist but, however, readjustments in the traditional programs are required.  The previous attitude of confidence about the feasibility of achieving targeted goals in population growth and food production, one the implementation of well known solutions were possible, has...

Autores: Karpati,   Laszlo; Varga,   Levente.
This paper discusses the first experiences with the newly-developed KAVA-model. This model works on cash basis and evaluates cash inflow, outflow and Net Cash-Flow (NCF) in connection with four different interest groups connected to the given exhibition. The model was tested on four different exhibitions: Farmerexpo (Debrecen, Hungary) in 2005 and 2006, OMÉK (Budapest, Hungary) from 2005 and Polagra- Farm (Poznan, Poland) 2006. The different fairs can be compared by their relative „economic values” that makes the auditing more reliable.

Economic effects of market and trade liberalisation on agriculture in the Western Cape Province of South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: van Zyl,   Johan; Townsend,   Rob F.; Vink,   Nick.
This paper attempts to estimate the effects of some of the changes in the marketing system on the Western Cape Province of South Africa, utilizing a regional linear programming model of the agricultural sector of the region. The model includes supply, demand and production risk, and simulates the present agricultural production structure well. Market and trade liberalisation have major impacts on the structure of Western Cape agriculture, particularly the grain and livestock sub-sectors, with only marginal and mostly insignificant effects on horticultural products.

Autores: Philpot,   Walter; Larson,   James A.; Stokes,   Jeffrey R.
Farmers need information about the expected value and variability of net revenues for alternative crop insurance and futures hedging strategies to manage risk.  Specifically, the model will determine which risk management strategies are most desirable under various levels of risk aversion.  The unstable futures basis relation in the data used in the simulation model contributed to increased variability of net revenues.  In general, none of the crop insurance or hedging strategies markedly reduced variability of net revenue and relative riskiness when compared with the cash strategy.  Revenue Assurance strategies were the most effective at setting a floor on net revenues.  As a result, Revenue Assurance products may perform well for extremely risk averse...

Economic Impacts of Soybean Rust on the US Soybean Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gomez,   Miguel I.; Nunez,   Hector M.; Onal,   Hayri.
The spread of Asian Soybean Rust (ASR) represents a real threat to the U.S. soybean sector. We assess the potential impacts of ASR on domestic soybean production and commodity markets as well as the competitive position of the US in the soybean export market. We develop a mathematical stochastic dynamic sector model with endogenous prices to assess the economic impacts of ASR on US agriculture. The model takes into account the disease spread during the cropping season, the inherent uncertainty regarding the risk of infection, and the dichotomous decisions that farmers make (no treatment, preventive treatment, and curative treatment) facing the risk of infection. Our results suggest substantial impacts from potential ASR spread on agricultural output,...

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR DAIRY COW CULLING MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ott,   Stephen L.
Due to a lack of national information about cull dairy cows, the USDA's National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) Dairy '96 Study investigated culling management practices. Operations included in the study represented 83.1 percent of U.S. milk cows. Most dairy cows were culled for reasons associated with their inability to profitably produce high-quality milk and calves; reasons for culling were not usually related to ill health or systemic disease. Results showed that almost all cull dairy cows in the US are intended for beef slaughter, as only about 4.4 percent were sent to other dairy operations. Nearly 77 percent of cows intended for beef slaughter were sent to markets, auctions, and sale barns, while 22 percent were sent straight to slaughter...

This paper empirically assesses the sequential relationships among firm strategic factors, FDI activity, and economic performance for a sample of U.S.-based Multinational agribusinesses. The most important findings of this research is a positive direct effect of FDI on performance, the complementary effect between FDI and firm strategic factors (positive and significant interaction terms) on performance, and the positive effect of FDI on performance given some thresholds of firm strategic factors. Specifically, it provides insights about the direct effect of FDI on performance, as well as about the joint effect of firm size and FDI, marketing intensity and FDI, and capital intensity and FDI on performance. These findings provide evidence that FDI activity...

Genetically modified organisms (GMO) crops have become increasingly popular with Iowa farmers over the past few years.  The current genetic modifications are focused on pest management technologies.  Although there were early efforts by environmental activists to disrupt the adoption of GMO technology, few concerns were raised by U.S. food retailers and consumers.  The primary concern was getting European Union (EU) regulatory approval for each GMO crop variety event as late as spring 1999.  The situation has changed dramatically in the last few months, and the current situation is highly uncertain.  This paper provides the economic perspective on the issues surrounding non-GMO/GMO market segregation, the potential price impacts that may materialize with...

Economic Potential of Using High Tunnel Hoop Houses to Produce Fruits and Vegetables

Autores: Donnell,   Jeri; Biermacher,   Jon T.; Upson,   Steve.
Abstract Hoop house plasticulture has been promoted as a production technology that allows fruit and vegetable crops to be grown in the cool season months in early spring and late fall.  At this time little information regarding the economics of hoop house plasticulture is available.  Two fruit and vegetable production systems were developed for growing conditions in south-central Oklahoma.  The first system has a spinach crop followed by field tomato, and the second system has annually produced strawberry followed by yellow and zucchini squash.  Crop production data were collected in a three-year randomized and replicated experiment.  The objectives were (1) to determine the expected cost of production for each crop and systems, (2) to determine the...

In view of this it seems opportune to consider some of the broader aspects involved in the successful advertising of primary products. The purpose of this discussion is not to attempt to prove or disprove the value of advertising, but rather to review thc factors which may determine the succes, or failure of advertising a particular product; to indicate the nature of the information necessary to enable an evaluation of the return from different types of advertising; and to discuss possible...

Autores: Marothia,   Dinesh K.; Singh,   R.K.; Chandrakar,   M.R.; Jain,   B.C.
In recent years there has been a serious concern among the farmers, scientists, policymakers and environmentalists regarding the continuous erosion of genetic biodiversity of rice cultivars in Chhattisgarh which has traditionally been known as bowl of scented rices in central India. In view of India’s potential competitiveness in aromatic rices in the international market, it is imperative to understand the dynamics of domestic trade in aromatic rice. In this study, marketing and price-spread patterns of aromatic rice in the state of Chhattisgarh have been examined. A few policy interventions have been suggested for promoting aromatic rices in the state.

Economics of Business Learning: The Need for Broader Perspectives in Managerial Economics
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
While most textbooks in managerial economics now give some coverage to business learning, and this is to be welcomed, their coverage of business learning is limited to a consideration of increases in productivity or cost reductions.  Supply-side bias exists.  The coverage of leading texts is reviewed.  It is found that no attention is given to the underlying sources of business learning nor to phases of such learning.  The ‘start-up’ phase, for example, is not specifically mentioned.  Connections with productivity progress are not well explored and the possibility that business learning may depend on the duration of learning as well as the cumulative output of a business is not considered.  The duration of learning is treated as an important variable in...

ECONOMICS OF PRODUCING FOR AN IDENTITY-PRESERVED (IP) GRAIN MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gustafson,   Cole R.
Demand for identity-preserved (IP) crops produced by Northern Plains farmers is increasing.  Buyers are willing to pay a premium for grains that can be guaranteed to possess a unique characteristic.  Several general crop management practices apply to crops raised for IP.  These include greater investment in segregated storage facilities, more meticulous production, isolation, added cleaning/sorting, documentation, greater testing, additional marketing, and risks of liability.  To illustrate, the economics of producing certified seed for sale to other farmers is used as an example of IP grain production.  Many of the concepts and specific practices of certified seed production are applicable to most IP crops raised.

The objective of this paper was to analyze the risk protection provided by the futures contracts traded at CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade) at different delivery months to Brazilian Soybean hedgers. The empirical approach adopted was the estimation of hedging effectiveness between every Brazilian production state and the CBOT futures contracts. The results showed that the contracts for delivery in the second semester are more effective, mainly those for delivery in July and August. Moreover, supply shocks in the U.S. can make even the contracts for delivery in November and January to be very effective because of stronger procurement for Brazilian soybeans. The results also show that hedging effectiveness is larger near export harbors, as they were the cases...

Understanding how consumers respond to information about animal production systems is important both for animal activist groups and for agricultural producers alike.  This is particularly true as information conveyed over platforms such as YouTube both decrease the cost of communication and increase the speed at which interested parties can communicate with the public.  The emerging field of neuroeconomics, which integrates the findings of economics, psychology, and neuroscience, can provide unique insights into consumer responses.  The purpose of this research is to enhance understanding of consumers’ perceptions of farm animal welfare by capitalizing on recent developments in economics and neuroscience.

EFFECT OF CAPTIVE SUPPLY ON FARM-TO-WHOLESALE BEEF MARKETING MARGIN
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pendell,   Dustin L.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
Debates about captive supplies have been ongoing for more than a decade.  This study investigates the effects captive supplies have on the beef farm-to-wholesale marketing margin.  A relative price spread (RPS) model is used to estimate beef farm-to-wholesale marketing margins.  Estimates indicate that forward contracts and marketing agreements have a small positive relationship with margins that is marginally significant.  Packer fed cattle may or may not be related to margins to depending upon model specification.

EFFECT OF GENERIC ADVERTISING ON THE DEMAND FOR FLUID MILK: THE CASE OF THE TEXAS MARKET ORDER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Schmitz,   John D.
This analysis indicates that generic advertising expenditures, ceteris paribus, generated rightward shifts in demand for fluid milk in the Texas Market Order over the period January 1980 to September 1988. Generally, the results from this study are in agreement with previous research efforts which suggest that generic advertising can increase the demand for fluid milk. Importantly, in this analysis, the impacts of television and radio advertising have been effectively disentangled. Television advertising generates a response that wears off more quickly than radio advertising. Also, the long-run effect of radio advertising is bout 1.75 times greater than the long-run effect of television advertising.

EFFECT OF HARD RED SPRING WHEAT CONSISTENCY ON MILLING VALUE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dahl,   Bruce L.; Wilson,   William W.
Increased concerns over the quality of wheat in domestic and export markets has focused attention on the consistency of wheat quality. This study utilized three measures to examine the effect of variability in characteristics on the milling value of wheat. Distributions and correlations for wheat quality characteristics were estimated from U.S. wheat export data from 1985-1997.  Effects of variability of wheat characteristics on the value of wheat to the miller for each of the three measures were estimated using a simulation model.  U.S. No. 1 exports of Hard Red Spring (HRS) had higher value to millers on each of the three measures (net wheat, millable wheat index, and value added in milling) than did exports of No. 2 or better (OB).  However, the value...

Autores: Ziari,   Houshmand A.; Fuller,   Stephen W.; Grant,   Warren R.; Sutaria,   Vinod.
Recent legislative initiatives call for studies to evaluate costs associated with cleaning U.S. grains to meet more stringent standards. This paper reports on a study which developed a mixed-integer programming model of the U.S. sorghum sector to (1) determine the least-cost geographic location for new cleaning investment at the country, terminal and port elevator stages of the marketing system and (2) measure additional system marketing costs associated with implementing the proposed standards. Results show the least-cost cleaning location to be at country and terminal elevators in excess supply regions. Implementing the proposed standard would increase system costs about 2 percent.

Effect of Sales on Brand Loyalty
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huang,   Rui; Perloff,   Jeffrey M.; Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto.
Although many theoretical industrial organization models are based on the existence of a critical mass of exogenously "brand loyal" consumers, we find little empirical evidence supporting these assumptions in the orange juice retail market. There are very few loyal consumers. More importantly, the frequency with which stores conduct sales affects the share of loyal types so that loyalty is endogenous rather than exogenous. Households’ demographics have statistically significant but economically minor effects on switching behavior. Switching across frozen and refrigerated states is very common, leading to more complicated substitution patterns and less loyalty than one observes looking at each state separately.

Autores: Jones,   Jason; Carlberg,   Jared G.; Pendell,   Dustin L.
The research reported in this paper created an epidemiological foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) spread model for Ontario. Disease simulations were constructed to reflect three levels of the cattle identification and movement recording system. Outputs generated by the epidemiological model are used to calculate the direct disease control costs of a FMD outbreak. Welfare effects caused by a FMD outbreak are also calculated for each level of cattle traceability using an equilibrium displacement model. Parameter sensitivity was tested for both the epidemiological and economic model results. It is found that the benefits to the beef cattle industry of increasing the ability to trace direct animal contacts during a FMD disease outbreak in Ontario are less than the...

The study examines the impacts of implementing mandatory country of origin labeling (COOL) on producer and consumer welfare in the U.S. meat industry. The equilibrium displacement model developed in this study includes twenty-nine equations representing retail-, processing-, and farm-level equilibrium conditions for the beef, pork, and chicken industries. Unlike previous studies, the model allows trade between domestic- and foreign-origin products and considers the imperfectly competitive market structure of meat processers. Empirical results show that without a significant increase in domestic meat demand, producers are not expected to benefit from the mandatory COOL implementation. Results of a sensitivity analysis indicate that consumers tend to bear...

Effects Of EU’s Common Agricultural Policy Reforms On Prospects For Eastern And Southern Africa’s Trade With The EU Under The Economic Partnership Agreements
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Echessah,   Protase N.
Due to the size of the European Union’s agricultural production and its market, the impact of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reaches far beyond Europe and has major implications for trade in agricultural goods all over the world including the ESA region. Since the 1950s, the CAP has undergone several reforms which have not only changed EU’s agricultural support system drastically but has also impacted global agricultural markets. For developing countries including the ESA ones, these reforms have serious implications since they are particularly locked into the EU’s complicated system of protectionist regulations and subsidies on the one hand and preferential market access on the other hand. The high degree of dependency and vulnerability of ESA...

This study utilized the cluster analysis to examine effectiveness of fluid milk advertising in Taiwan. Consumers with different perceptions of advertising were grouped into three clusters. The “high-perception” cluster consisted of larger percentage of women at ages 26 to 35, with higher household income, and living in smaller households. The “low-perception” cluster consisted of more male, older people, with lower household income, and living in larger households. Consumers who were more sensitive to fluid milk advertising tended to consume more fluid milk after perceiving advertising.

Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Meyers,   Robert J.; Nyoro,   James K.
The objectives of this paper are to determine the effects of NCPB maize trading activity and the maize import tariff on wholesale maize market price levels and volatility. The analysis uses monthly maize price and trade data covering the period January 1990 to September 2004. Results are based on a vector autoregression (VAR) approach that allows estimation of a counterfactual set of maize prices that would have occurred over the 1990-2004 period had the NCPB not existed and trade restrictions been removed. Assessed are the separate impacts of policy on wholesale prices in Kitale, a major surplus-producing area, and Nairobi, the major urban demand center in the country.

Autores: Iwamoto,   Hiroyuki; Yamamoto,   Yasutaka; Sato,   Kazuo; Sawada,   Manabu.
The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of the price, freshness, use of the HACCP label, and use of the Eco label (the latent attribute of the milk produced from the raw milk of dairy farms that comply with The Law, which protects the environment by legally enforcing manure treatment) in Japanese consumers’ milk purchasing decisions. We employ Choice Modeling to quantify the welfare change associated with the change in the levels of these attributes for a sample of Japanese consumers taken in December 2000. We found that consumers have a positive perception of the HACCP label, the Eco-milk label, and the freshness of the milk.

Autores: Ndirangu,   Lydia K.
This paper examines the effects of households’ shocks on saving behaviour. It investigates the possibility that households save ex ante to buffer against adverse weather and health shocks. The relatively high prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Kenya combined with rain fed agriculture implies great uncertainty for rural livelihoods. Adopting a methodology previously used on cross-sectional data (Paxson, 1992), the paper examines the level of households precautionary behaviour. This is done by estimating the marginal propensity to save out of transitory income over a period of 18 months. The results show that while households may exhibit some level of prudence, the marginal propensity to save out of transitory income is about a third of what the permanent income...

Effects of Information and Country of Origin On Chinese Consumer Preferences for Wine: An Experimental Approach in the Field
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Hainan; McCluskey,   Jill J.
Wine is a product whose value largely depends on the reputation associated with its region of production. China is a newcomer and latecomer to wine production and consumption. Wine consumption, especially imported wine, rarely exists outside of major urban areas. Therefore, understanding the Chinese local markets and consumer preference for wine products is important for foreign wine producers. WTP (Willingness-to-Pay), in economics, is the maximum amount a person would be willing to pay for a good, which is a useful tool to address consumers’ preference. In our study, we investigate the effects of information and origin of production on Chinese consumers’ WTP for wine. By using a second-price sealed-bid auction mechanism, which was first developed by...

Effects of Lamb Promotion on Lamb Demand and Imports
Provedor de dados: 31

Three key questions regarding lamb promotion are addressed: (1) Have industry efforts to promote lamb shifted out the total demand for lamb? (2) Have any returns to producers achieved been greater than the cost of the promotion? (3) What has been the effect of lamb promotion on the lamb import share? The first question is addressed through an econometric analysis of the U.S. retail demand for lamb which takes into account the effects of lamb advertising and promotion expenditures. The results then are used to calculate a benefit-cost ratio for lamb promotion in answer to the second question. An econometric analysis of the import share of U.S. lamb consumption provides the basis for addressing the third question. Lamb promotion is found to have increased...

The paper examines the impact of four exogenous shocks – exchange rate appreciation, feed price escalation, mandatory country of origin labeling, and economic recession – on the Canadian and U.S. beef cattle industries using a multi-market partial equilibrium model. Impacts on the U.S. industry are found to be relatively small compared to those on the Canadian industry. Country of origin labeling, and feed price escalation account for the largest decline in the welfare of Canadian cattle producers.

Effects of Marketing Loans on U.S. Dry Peas and Lentils:  Supply Response and World Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lin,   William W.; Lucier,   Gary.
The 2002 Farm Act required USDA to implement marketing loans for the 2002-07 crops of dry peas, lentils, and small chickpeas. This provision led to expanded acreage for dry peas and lentils, crops analyzed in this study. The analysis found that marketing loans played a role in expansion for dry peas in 2003-05 and for lentils in 2003. For dry peas and lentils, marketing loans contributed to acreage expansion in North Dakota and Montana. Simulation model results suggest that marketing loans had negligible impacts on world prices for dry peas and lentils in 2003-05. Impacts on U.S. exports were minor, increasing by about 2 percent in 2003.

The number of meat recalls has increased markedly in recent years. Meat recalls have the potential to adversely affect short run demand for meat because of the associated decline in consumer confidence. This research examines the impact of beef and pork recalls on nearby daily live cattle and lean hog futures market prices, respectively. Results indicate that medium sized beef and large pork recalls that are a serious health concern have a marginally negative impact on short-term live cattle and lean hog futures prices, respectively. However, results are not robust across recall size and severity. This research suggests that if there is any systematic significant change in beef and pork demand due to meat recalls, it likely occurs over an extended period...

EFFECTS OF NON-PRICE EXPORT PROMOTION: SOME EVIDENCE FOR COTTON
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Solomon,   H.; Kinnucan,   Henry W.
An Annington-type trade model is estimated to determine the effects of government-subsidized export promotion on the demand for U.S. cotton in the Pacific Rim. Results show a significant relationship between promotion expenditures and U.S. market share in four of the six countries examined. One of the two countries exhibiting a non-significant effect had very low promotion expenditures, suggesting that a minimal level of funding may be necessary to achieve a market response. The hypothesis that export promotion has a carryover period lasting beyond one year in general is supported by the data. The question of the economic impacts of export promotion on domestic producers and taxpayers must await additional research.

This study investigates the effects of South American production (SAP) and futures volatility on the soybean price dynamics in terms of their effects on the basis. The results of the econometric model showed that both South American production and futures volatility of the nearby contract have negative effects on the basis though in the forecast model, lagged values of these two factors failed to predict basis change in the future. If information about the change of the expected SAP or futures volatility is available, then the model can predict the changes in basis. This information would be helpful for hedgers to decide the time to lift their hedge.

EFFECTS OF U.S. DAIRY POLICIES ON MARKETS FOR MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Price,   J. Michael.
This report examines the economic effects of the principal programs authorized under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 that influence the U.S. dairy sector. The analytical results presented in this study were used as input to a broader study mandated by Congress, which required an evaluation of the economic impacts of Federal milk marketing orders, direct payments to producers, price supports, and export programs. This study examines the effects of dairy policies on prices, program payments, and other variables under different scenarios. The results are compared to a baseline set of estimates over the 2002-07 period. The findings show that gross income in the U.S. dairy sector would be $7.2 billion below baseline levels over the course of...

Efficiency and Redistribution in the French Comte Cheese Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Merel,   Pierre R.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the economic rationale underlying collective management and supply control mechanisms in European protected designations of origin (PDOs), with a focus on the French Comte cheese market. The argument is based on the presence of imperfect competition at the processing stage of the industry. Assuming that processors are able to exercise both oligopsony power in the procurement of the agricultural output and oligopoly power in the sale of the final product, I show that vertical integration between upstream producers and downstream processors is mutually beneficial as long as the integrated industry is able to exercise some degree of seller market power. I characterize instances where consumers also win from the...

EFFICIENCY OF FOREST COMMODITY FUTURES MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: He,   Dequan; Holt,   Matthew T.
Market efficiency and unbiasedness tests are performed for the first time for three forest commodity futures markets: softwood lumber, oriented strand board (OSB), and northern bleached softwood kraft pulp (NBSK). The Johansen cointegration procedure is applied to test long-term market efficiency, while the standard error correction models (ECM) and ECM with GQARCH-in-mean process are also used to examine short-term market efficiency and unbiasedness. Results show that these markets are inefficient and biased in both the long-term and short-term. Results also indicate that no short-term time-varying risk premiums are found in these commodity futures markets.

EFFICIENCY OF MARKET PRICE SIGNALS FOR FEEDER CATTLE FRAME SIZE AND MUSCLING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Baggett,   Hub B., IV; Ward,   Clement E.; Child,   Dan M.
Two beef cattle production traits that affect performance are frame size and muscle thickness.  Buyers pay premiums or discounts for feeder cattle with different frame and muscling. Do prices accurately reflect performance?  What effect do frame and muscling have on profitability? Performance differed in some cases but not others.  Backgrounding, stocker, and feedlot ADG differed little, while feed efficiency, days fed, and harvest weight varied more.  There were many differences in carcass characteristics due to frame and muscling.   Results provide evidence that stocker and feedlot prices are inefficient since a greater profit can be made producing one type of calf instead of another.

The efficiency of the Chinese wheat and soybean futures markets is studied. Formal statistical tests were conducted based on Johansen’s cointegration approach for three different cashmarkets and six different futures forecasting horizons ranging from1 week to 4 months.The results suggest a long-termequilibrium relationship between the futures price and cash price for soybeans and weak short-term efficiency in the soybean futures market. The futures market for wheat is inefficient, which may be caused by overspeculation and government intervention.

Three procedures are used to test Fama semistrong from efficiency of harvesttime price of Kansas City July wheat futures from 1947 through 1995. The three methods are (a) testing for jointly significant parameter estimates on nonfutures explanatory variables in econometric forecasting models, (b) testing the relative accuracy between model-based forecasts and using deferred futures prices as forecasts, and (c) testing for abnormal profits associated with simulated futures trading signaled by the forecasts. Kansas City July wheat futures are generally efficient. Furthermore, relative to the efficiency associated with forecasts constructed one to two months before harvest, the efficiency associated with the five- to six-month period before harvest has...

Efficiency without Sustainable Growth (‘Mixed Salad’ Policy of the «Market Fundamentalism» and Pragmatism)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Epstein,   David B.
The paper is devoted to the influence of ‘market fundamentalism’ on the Russian agrarian policy in 1992 - 2006. On the basis of analysis of two stages of economic and agrarian policy is concluded that "mix" of ‘market fundamentalism’ and some pragmatism has not allowed achieving sustainable growth of agricultural production. Resource potential of the agriculture is reduced by high rates, however there is an essential increase of an economic efficiency: the expenses for unit of gross agricultural production in the comparable prices are reduced by rather high rates. In the future the forms of the state support of the agricultural producers should help to provide the profitability, which is necessary for extended reproduction in zones of commodity manufacture.

In accordance with the modalities and procedures for a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) decided in Marrakech 2001, "Parties participating in the CDM shall designate a national authority for the CDM." Till date only 89 Parties have established their Designated National Authority (DNA). Capacity building and marketing the national CDM programmes to buyers of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) or project investors is one of the important tasks of host countries. In that context, website development and hosting is a key outreach mechanism for DNAs to market their national CDM programme as well as improving their country's competitiveness on the global market. But also Annex I DNA websites can play a useful role, particularly for host country companies who...

Autores: Cabrini,   Silvina M.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.
A Bayesian hierarchical model was employed to estimate individual expected pricing performance for market advisory programs in corn and soybeans.  Performance is defined as the difference between the price/revenue obtained by following the program's marketing recommendations and the average price/revenue offered by the market along the marketing window.  The estimates obtained from this model are weighted averages of traditional separate and pooled estimates.  Based on the sample employed, the most reasonable individual estimates for expected pricing performance imply a substantial shrinkage towards pooled values.  The Bayesian estimates for expected pricing performance range from ¢9/bu to ¢9/bu for corn, from ¢11/bu to ¢17/bu for soybeans and $0.4/acre to...

Einfluss des Images von Bio-Produkten auf den Absatz der Erzeugnisse

Autores: Simons,   Johannes; Vierboom,   Carl; Harlen,   Ingo.
According to several surveys organic products widely meet consumers demand, but the corresponding market share in Germany is less than 2,5 %. Missing confidence in the authenticity of organic products, high prices compared to other foods, a low density of distribution, and a lack of a uniform label are regarded as hampering factors for market growth. The influence of the image of organic products on market development, however, is analyzed insufficiently by now. This paper therefore aims at investigating the implications of the image of organic foods on its acceptance by consumers and deriving hints for the development of the market. The actual study is based on a concept of morphological market research, the results refer to Germany and can be summarized...

Traditional recommendations for building sustainable competitive advantages revolve around differentiating a product from the competition along attributes that are important and relevant to customers. However, strategic approaches based on such notions do not represent viable options for companies competing in commodity markets characterized by a lack of physical product differentiation. The objective of this paper is to conduct a literature review with the aim of identifying alternative approaches to creating competitive advantage that can be used even under conditions in which no differences in actual quality exist across products. This review of the literature uncovered three non-traditional strategies that provide a basis for perceptually...

Emerging Issues for Geographical Indication Branding Strategies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Agarwal,   Sanjeev; Barone,   Michael J.
Branding strategies centering on the geographical origins of a product can provide a basis for differentiating commodity products. The use of such “"geographical indications”" (or GIs) can involve unique quality characteristics associated with a particular location or quality images that are based on the history, tradition, and folklore in a region. In this paper we describe the benefits and pitfalls (such as the threat of new entrants, oversupply, the broadening of boundaries to include more producers, and limiting generic use of such names) of using GI branding strategies. We also focus on trademark issues germane to a company’'s ability to (1) adopt GI-based trademarks as a means of gaining a competitive advantage and (2) protect the rights associated...

This paper presents research questions and policy issues related to three emerging issues pertinent to developments in the global food and agricultural supply network. Developments in the production and delivery of food to consumers are rapid, prolific, and extreme. We have gone from a farmer-centric to a consumer-centric food system. The changes are forcing us to revise our thinking about the organization and operation of the food supply chain one-hundred and eighty degrees, to challenge old assumptions about who sets standards and who decides what will be produced. Public policies, which typically lag the world of commerce, will need to learn their relevance and catch-up with dramatic changes in the way business is being conducted. Three examples come to...

The US Food and Drug Administration confirmed in February 2007 that a major foodborne illness outbreak was caused by two peanut butter brands, Peter Pan and Great Value, manufactured by ConAgra Foods Inc. at its Sylvester, Georgia, processing plant. As a result, on February 14, 2007, ConAgra voluntarily issued a nationwide recall of its Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter products produced since May 2006 and sold through grocery and retail stores throughout the United States. Using the ACNielsen Homescan Panel for calendar years 2006, 2007 and 2008, this study investigates the impacts of the recall on the demand for peanut butter by estimating a second degree polynomial distributed lag with a lag length of three and endpoint restrictions imposed.

Empirical Performance of Alternative Option Pricing Models for Commodity Futures Options
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chen,   Gang; Roberts,   Matthew C.; Roe,   Brian E.
The central part of pricing agricultural commodity futures options is to find appropriate stochastic process of the underlying assets. The Black's (1976) futures option pricing model laid the foundation for a new era of futures option valuation theory. The geometric Brownian motion assumption girding the Black's model, however, has been regarded as unrealistic in numerous empirical studies. Option pricing models incorporating discrete jumps and stochastic volatility have been studied extensively in the literature. This study tests the performance of major alternative option pricing models and attempts to find the appropriate model for pricing commodity futures options.

Based on the technological progress and the complex work processes of our increasingly globalised world, novel ways of organising work can be seen everywhere. The EU has defined atypical forms of employment as breakthrough points in improving employment indices. Telework is probably the most innovative atypical working form, offering huge amount of benefits for the employer, employee and the society. Gaining a deeper understanding of employment trends and employers’ decision-making mechanisms, we can understand the specifics of this spreading working form, and we can use this knowledge to stimulate the employment trends. This study summarises the finding of an empirical research among medium and large enterprises in Hungary using telework.

Establishing the Presence of a Risk Premium in the Cocoa Futures Market: An Econometric Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Armah,   Stephen E.
Previous attempts at identifying and estimating a time-varying risk premium in the cocoa futures market yielded conflicting results. Using a longer series that includes the most recent cash and futures data, the existence of a time-varying risk premium in the cocoa futures market is re-investigated using LM ARCH tests and a Quadratic ARCH in Mean Error Correction Model. In contrast to available research the time series properties of the data are carefully accounted for by employing the most recent econometric techniques in testing for the presence of a risk premium. No evidence is found in support of a positive time-varying [or constant] risk premium in the cocoa futures market at conventional significance levels. The result suggests that cocoa producing...

ESTIMATED HEDGING RISK WITH CASH SETTLEMENT FEEDER CATTLE FUTURES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Elam,   Emmett W.
Beginning with the September 1986 contract, feeder cattle futures have been settled based on cash settlement rather than physical delivery. The effect that cash settlement will have on hedging risk for feeder cattle was estimated using Arkansas prices for 1977-86, but the results should be representative of other markets. For 600-700 pound steers and heifers, hedging risk is estimated to be lower for hedges placed in the new cash settlement contract. For steers and heifers weighing less than 600 pounds, hedging risk is estimated to be lower for the cash settlement contract for fall hedges, whereas hedging risk is estimated to increase for spring hedges.

ESTIMATING ACTUAL BID-ASK SPREADS IN COMMODITY FUTURES MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bryant,   Henry L.; Haigh,   Michael S.
Various bid-ask spread estimators are applied to transaction data from LIFFE commodity futures markets, and the resulting estimates are compared to observed actual bid-ask spreads.  Results suggest that actual bid-ask spreads, unlike effective spreads, can be reasonably estimated using transaction data.  Estimates of actual spreads gives market participants and researchers some idea of potential transaction costs, and will be useful for assessing the efficiency of electronic trading relative to open-outcry trading.  Results indicate that estimators using averages of absolute price changes perform better at estimating actual bid-ask spreads in futures markets than estimators using the covariance of successive price changes

Estimating Actual Bid-Ask Spreads in Commodity Futures Markets

Autores: Bryant,   Henry L.; Haigh,   Michael S.
Various bid-ask spread estimators are applied to transaction data from LIFFE cocoa and coffee futures markets, and the resulting estimates are compared to observed actual bid-ask spreads. Results suggest that actual bid-ask spreads, which are not reported by most open-outcry futures markets, can be reasonably estimated using readily available transaction data. This is especially important since recent research seems to indicate that efforts to estimate effective spreads using data commonly available from futures markets have not been successful. Thus estimates of actual spreads can give market participants and researchers some idea of potential transaction costs.  Accurate estimates of bid-ask spreads will also be needed to assess the relative efficiency...

Estimating community benefits from tourism: The case of Carpentaria Shire
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Greiner,   Romy; Stoeckl,   Natalie; Schweigert,   Roman.
The small rural communities in Australia's tropical savanna landscapes depend upon the region's natural resources for income and employment. Historically primary industries - including mining, grazing and, in the case of coastal communities, fishing - have been the pillars of economic activity in those regions. More recently, tourism has emerged as an additional nature-based industry, which offers new development and employment opportunities for populations in remote regions. Net benefits from tourism accrue from the balance of economic, social and environmental interactions of tourists with a destination. This paper presents a model of tourism impact in the Carpentaria shire of North West Queensland. A methodology is developed for tracking and quantifying...

Estimating Liquidity Costs in Agricultural Futures Markets using Bayesian Methods
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Frank,   Julieta; Garcia,   Philip.
Estimation of liquidity costs in futures markets is challenging because bid-ask spreads are usually not observed. Several estimators of liquidity costs exist that use transaction data, but there is little agreement on their relative accuracy and usefulness, and their performance has been questioned. We use a Bayesian method proposed by Hasbrouck which possesses conceptually desirable properties to estimate liquidity costs of six agricultural future contracts. The method builds on Roll’'s model and uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation. Our Bayesian estimates are lower than more traditional estimates and as anticipated decrease even more when more realistic assumptions such as discreteness are incorporated. The findings demonstrate the need for further...

ESTIMATING MARKET POWER AND PRICING CONDUCT IN A PRODUCT-DIFFERENTIATED OLIGOPOLY: THE CASE OF THE DOMESTIC SPAGHETTI SAUCE INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vickner,   Steven S.; Davies,   Stephen P.
This paper develops a simultaneous-equations panel data econometric model to obtain point estimates of market power and pricing conduct in a representative product-differentiated, oligopolistic food market.  The importance of this class of markets is recognized given its prevalence in the food and fiber system, especially for final consumer food products.  The $1.3 billion domestic spaghetti sauce industry is featured.  Although the results indicate firms exert limited market power, a portion of this power is derived from tacit price collusion.  A higher degree of price collusion was found among brands within a market segment than between segments.

Estimating Plate-Lunch Demand: A Bottom-Line Assessment of the Competitive School Food Environment
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pham,   Matthew V.; Roe,   Brian E.
Direct regulation of school lunch content seems an intuitive approach for improving the nutrition of many American children. However, little is known about substitution patterns in response to such efforts, particular the likelihood that children and parents will turn to competitive foods outside the control of schools such as packed lunches. To our knowledge, no previous work documents if increasing the healthfulness of school lunches leads children to leave the school lunch line for potentially less nutritious options. To address this paucity of information we estimate the demand for school lunches as a function of calories provided and entrée protein source for a single elementary school. Our results suggest a highly inelastic response to a meal’s...

Estimating Price Premiums for Breads Marketed as “Low-Carbohydrate Breads”
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nganje,   William E.; Kaitibie,   Simeon; Wachenheim,   Cheryl J.; Acquah,   Emmanuel T.; Matson,   Joel; Johnson,   Grant.
Retail data are used in a hedonic pricing framework to estimate the premium paid for the “low-carbohydrate” attribute and other attributes of bread at grocery and non-grocery stores in a regional market. Results show that consumer willingness to pay is influenced by the “low-carbohydrate” attribute as well as by sugar, fiber, and fat content; serving size; and size of loaf. Implicit price premiums vary significantly by retail location. However, price differentials may be compounded by the absence of an acceptable definition for low-carbohydrate foods.

Using a partial equilibrium model, the benefits of providing improved agricultural market information to farmers and small-scale traders of maize, millet, sorghum and paddy rice in Mali are estimated.  The value of information is estimated as the reduction in dead-weight loss when farmers and small-scale traders with rational expectations respond to improved price forecasts from Market Information Systems.  The study finds that benefits from improved information, which can also be viewed as a reduction of the cost of being off the equilibrium price and quantity, are great when there is high uncertainty about future prices, high own-price elasticity of supply, low own-price elasticity of demand, and high value of crop output.  The study suggests that...

Autores: Perekhozhuk,   Oleksandr; Matyukha,   Andriy; Glauben,   Thomas.
This study develops a structural market model for the econometric analysis of buyers’ market power in the Ukrainian meat processing industry, because there is some evidence that suggests that meat processors may excise market power in the agricultural market of slaughtered livestock. The estimation results did not produce any evidence suggesting the existence of buyers’ market power. Contrary to many other NEIO-studies, we extended the market structure market model by the three subsequent models. Using endogenously determined values for market power parameter, we found that meat processors concerning the buyers’ market for slaughtered livestock behave consistently with Cournot conjectures.

Estimating the Effect of the Order of Information Revelation on Purchases: Expectations and Subjective Experience in the Wine Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gustafson,   Christopher R.
Recent research on consumer behavior has indicated that, contrary to most models in economics, information can affect consumers' subjective experience with a good. When consumers receive information about the quality of a good before experiencing the sensory characteristics of the good, the consumers' stated preferences for the goods have been affected. However, a study has yet to examine whether this affects consumers' purchasing decisions, or is limited to stated preference. This field experiment looks at the release of appellation information prior to and after tasting of wine, and uses sales of the two wines tasted as a dependent variable.

A beef import model is specified and estimated using disequilibrium econometrics.

Autores: Roucan-Kane,   Maud; Martens,   Bobby J.; Preckel,   Paul V.
Retail shelf space allocation remains a central issue in grocery retailing. A literature review produced many studies on retail shelf space allocation, but none which evaluated shelf space allocation using three major factors at once: space, vertical height, and price. In this study, shelf space allocation was modeled from the perspective of a retailer maximizing profit using space, vertical height, and price. Using benchmarking, the results show how shelf configuration affects consumer demand and retailer profit. Parameters for the model were based on experience-based intuition. Although the initial results are not valuable at this point, the method and results create a rationale and motivation to gather primary data. Once primary data is collected, this...

Using a maximum entropy technique, we estimate the market shares of each firm in an industry using the available government summary statistics such as the four-firm concentration ratio (C4) and the Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index (HHI).  We show that our technique is very effective in estimating the distribution of market shares in 20 industries. Our results provide support for the recent practice of using HHI rather than C4 as the key explanatory variable in many market power studies, if only one measure is to be used.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the threshold effect of the U.S. generic fluid milk and cheese advertising programs. A threshold delineates the level of advertising intensity that has to be met to generate a specific level of sales effect. Given that promotional organizations face budget constraints, it is of particular interest to ascertain if there exists a minimum threshold that an advertising campaign has to overcome to yield a non-trivial sales effect. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study focusing on the threshold effects of generic advertising of agricultural products. The estimation results confirm that, for both fluid milk and cheese advertisings, there exist three thresholds which partition the quarterly observations between...

Estimation of Asymmetric Price Adjustment in the U.S. Soybean Trade Using Rolling TAR: The Relation with Market Structure
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nakajima,   Toru.
The threshold autoregressive (TAR) model by Enders and Granger (1998) and Enders and Siklos (2001) is a popular econometric model that estimates asymmetric price transmission (APT) with non-stationary time series data. However, empirical studies have not considered much the arbitrariness of sample period selection and possible temporal variation of parameters or asymmetry. The purpose of this study is to estimate the APT from the U.S. domestic soybean prices to the export prices using the TAR model, and to trace the changes of APT using rolling woindow methodology of TAR. Another purpose is to analyze the relation between the APT and the market structure in the world soybean trade. The hypothesis is that the APT was positive, which means that the U.S....

Several studies have estimated the welfare effects of recent changes in the European Union's common policy on banana imports, based upon the assumption that the market is perfectly competitive. However, if the market is imperfectly competitive, predictions about changes in banana policy may be inaccurate. The objective of this paper is to estimate the degree of market imperfection in the German market for banana imports using dynamic methods. The hypothesis that this market is perfectly competitive is rejected, and, in addition, the degree of market imperfection is estimated to be higher using a dynamic model compared to previous static estimates.

Autores: Jeon,   Sang-Gon.
This paper estimates the political oligopoly power of domestic raw-milk producers in the Korean dairy market. Domestic raw-milk price for fluid use is decided exogenously by the government. The government announces the reference price of raw-milk price for fluid use to protect the domestic raw-milk producers from the potential market power of domestic dairy processors, because historically many small-sized domestic producers are a relatively weaker group than domestic processors. Here, this study has two questions: one is about how effectively the government protects the producers and the other is about how much the producers exert their political power against the government to raise the reference price in this process. Furthermore, this paper also tests...

This paper focuses on the possibilities of ethnic marketing and its ethic connections. The differences found in our face-to-face interviews and analysing questionnaire data will provide opportunities for Hungarian small enterprises. Targeting ethnic groups for marketing purposes results in ethical difficulties. In Hungary, ethnic marketing is yet an inexperienced concept. Based on these ideas the authors examine the ins and outs of using ethnic marketing in case of Germans in Hungary. Consumers with German ethnic attitude really want German products and brands. At the same time, enterprises have to emphasise the products’ “Germanness” and character in a better/stronger way because this can help for  better consumer  decision making.

Ethnic Networks and Enterprise Credit: The Serahules of The Gambia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gajigo,   Ousman; Foltz,   Jeremy D.
This work analyzes the effects of ethnic heterogeneity on credit and entrepreneurship in The Gambia. We develop a model of credit transactions based on ethnic density, which shows that where formal credit markets fail denser ethnic groups will have better access to credit. This work places a special emphasis on the Serahule ethnic group, which is ethnically dense and entrepreneurially successful. Our results show that Serahule-owned enterprises are indeed larger and more profitable. Furthermore, their marginal rate of return of capital is significantly lower than that of enterprises owned by other ethnicities, as one would expect with lower credit constraints.

The present study which started in 1999 is framed in the INCOYAM project.  Marketing systems of yam are analyzed in three West- African countries: Cote d'Ivoire, Benin and Nigeria.  Surveys have been carried out on urban (wholesales and retailers) and rural (collectors) traders.  Cities and production regions have been selected in function of their socio-economic characteristics.  As a result, in the three countries data has been collected in an important consumption pole, a commercial redistribution pole and a production pole.  The degree of precision of the data varies from one country to another due to asymmetric financing.  This situation did not allow establishing an equilibrated comparison of yam marketing systems.  The three countries commercialize...

EU market access for Mediterranean fruit and vegetables: A gravity model assessment

Autores: Emlinger,   Charlotte; Lozza,   Emmanuelle Chevassus; Jacquet,   Florence.
Since 1995, a liberalization process - the so- called Barcelona Process - has begun in the Mediterranean area. It aims at establishing a free trade area for 2010 in the Mediterranean Basin. For the moment the full liberalization concerns industrial product s trade whereas agriculture remains sensitive. Among agricultural product s, the fruit and vegetables (F&amp;V) sector is essential for Mediterranean countries and the EU is their first trading partner. In this context, two questions arise: Firstly, to what extent protection influence trade for the med countries, compared to the other countries? Secondly, what would be the impacts of a greater liberalization on F&amp;V trade between the EU and Mediterranean Countries? Our model, based on the new...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the marketing management capabilities of SMEs producing traditional food products, in order to analyse the market orientation of SMEs in the food industry. Following the theoretical approach of Market Orientation, our analysis is based on an assessment of the marketing management process. The methodology refers to a survey developed through a questionnaire published on the web, and a sample of 371 firms based in Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic and Hungary was used in the analysis. Cluster analysis was applied to find the different levels of market orientation of the firms. The results revealed a certain lack of appropriate skills in marketing management in the firms of the sample, confirming the evidence...

Evaluating Food Commodity Procurement Strategies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jones,   Kraig M.; Whipple,   Judith M.; Raper,   Kellie Curry; Mollenkopf,   Diane A.
We use a case study approach to determine the primary factors affecting food manufacturers' commodity procurement decisions, as well as to examine the strategic nature of commodity procurement departments.  The research fills a gap in both the commodity and procurement literature.  A large literature exists on commodity marketing; however, very little exists on the topic of commodity procurement.  Existing procurement literature tends to focus on non-commodity products rather than commodity products.  The results suggest a model for the strategic role of commodity procurement departments within food manufacturers.  The initial procurement strategy must be supply maintenance, which once accomplished, allows the commodity procurement department to progress...

EVALUATING FORECASTS OF DISCRETE VARIABLES: PREDICTING CATTLE QUALITY GRADES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Lusk,   Jayson L.; Norwood,   F. Bailey.
Little research has been conducted on evaluating out-of-sample forecasts of limited dependent variables. This study describes the large and small sample properties of two forecast evaluation techniques for limited dependent variables: receiver-operator curves and out-of-sample-log-likelihood functions. The methods are shown to provide identical model rankings in large samples and similar rankings in small samples. The likelihood function method is slightly better at detecting forecast accuracy in small samples, while receiver-operator curves are better at comparing forecasts across different data. By improving forecasts of fed-cattle quality grades, the forecast evaluation methods are shown to increase cattle marketing revenues by $2.59/head.

Autores: LeRoux,   Matthew N.; Schmit,   Todd M.; Roth,   Monika; Streeter,   Deborah H.
An investigation of the relative costs and benefits of marketing channels used by typical smallscale diversified vegetable crop producers is conducted. Using case study evidence from four small farms in Central New York, this study compares the performance of wholesale and direct marketing channels, including how the factors of risk, owner and paid labor, price, lifestyle preferences, and sales volume interact to impact optimal market channel selection. Given the highly perishable nature of the crops grown, along with the risks and potential sales volume of particular channels, a combination of different marketing channels is needed to maximize overall firm performance. Accordingly, a ranking system is developed to summarize the major firm-specific factors...

Evaluating the Dynamic Nature of Market Risk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hubbs,   Todd; Kuethe,   Todd H.; Baker,   Timothy G.
This study examines the systematic risk present in major crops for the United States and three corn-belt states. An index of commodities is used in conjunction with cash receipts to generate dynamic estimates of the systematic risk for each crop and state. In our study, we find that beta estimates from a time varying parameter model (FLS) and OLS formulation are substantially different. From our graphs of betas over time, one gains insight into the changing nature of risk and the impact of institutional and macroeconomic events. Systematic risk is shown to increase for most crops over the analyzed period with significant changes in volatility after the collapse of the Bretton Woods Accord.

EVALUATING THE HEDGING POTENTIAL OF THE LEAN HOG FUTURES CONTRACT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ditsch,   Mark W.; Leuthold,   Raymond M.
The lean hog futures contract is replacing the live hog futures contract at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange beginning with the February 1997 contract. The lean hog futures will be cash settled based on a broad-based lean hog price index, eliminating terminal markets from the price discovery process. Using this index over a twenty-month period as a proxy for the lean hog futures price, this paper compares the hedging effectiveness of the live hog futures contract to the hedging potential of the lean hog futures contract for cash live hogs as well as four cash meat cuts. Frozen pork bellies futures are also examined for the cash meats. Both long-term and short-term hedges are simulated, using the minimum-variance approach, which utilizes only unconditional...

Evaluating the Impact on Market Performance of Investments in Market Information Systems: Methodological Challenges
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Staatz,   John M.; Kizito,   Andrew M.; Weber,   Michael T.; Dembele,   Niama Nango.
Evaluating the impact on market performance of investments in agricultural market information systems (MIS) face several methodological challenges.  These fall into two broad categories:  (a) defining the dimensions of market performance to measure (which is a function of whom the MIS is designed to serve) and identifying reliable indicators of those performance dimensions, and (b) identifying the causal effects of the MIS.  The determination of causal effects in turn requires establishing a credible baseline, measuring “treatment effects” (i.e., the effects on economic behavior of receiving improved information from an MIS), dealing with problems of endogenous placement of treatment, and interpreting the validity of stakeholders’ statements and...

Evaluating the Performance of U.S. Supermarkets: Pricing Strategies, Competition from Hypermarkets, and Private Labels
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Volpe,   Richard J., III.
This study draws upon literature from the fields of agricultural economics, industrial organization, and business to study the performance of supermarkets in the United States. The empirical work draws from a rich dataset on the characteristics of supermarkets across the U.S. to test several hypotheses. Supermarkets utilizing everyday low pricing operate more efficiently than those using other strategies. Stores increase their performance by using strategies of their closest competitors. Competition with hypermarkets results in decreased supermarket performance, especially for smaller stores. Increases in private label sales relative to national brand sales are not necessarily related to increased performance.

Autores: Martinez,   Samuel Cardona; Patterson,   Paul M.
Evaluations on the effectiveness of state and origin branding programs remain relatively scant and generally have not focused on specific target populations, including the fastest growing group-Hispanic consumers. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Arizona Grown brand and the nascent Mexico Selected Quality brand in differentiating and promoting food products in Hispanic markets.  It was found that Hispanic consumers tend to view these food product brands as nearly identical in perceived quality.  Furthermore, they are willing to pay nearly equal premiums for products branded as such.  These consumers saw no value in country of origin information alone.

EVALUATING U.S. GENERIC MILK ADVERTISING EFFECTIVENESS USING AN IMPERFECT COMPETITION MODEL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Suzuki,   Nobuhiro; Kaiser,   Harry M.; Lenz,   John E.; Forker,   Olan D.
An analytical model to evaluate the effectiveness of u.s. generic milk advertising which incorporates the degree of market competition is presented. Unlike traditional perfect competition models, the imperfect competition model allows for simultaneous movement of both price and quantity with an endogenous fluid (Class I) price differential. The simulation results of the imperfect competition model are compared with the conventional exogenous fluid price differential model. It is shown that the conventional fixed fluid price differential model may under-state the effectiveness of U.s. generic milk advertising in terms of returns to producers.

Autores: Zuniga,   Manuel; Coble,   Keith H.; Heifner,   Richard G.
This research evaluates the interaction of new alternative insurance designs, forward pricing tools and the government revenue protection program while assuming a government loan program is in place. A numerical analysis is conducted using a revenue simulation model that incorporates futures prices, basis, and yield variability. Three crop insurance designs at 75 percent of yield guarantee are evaluated. Optimal futures and at-the-money put option hedge ratios are derived for expected utility maximizing of soybean producers. Sensitivity to loan rate levels are examined. Our results suggest that loan programs profoundly alter the optimal producer strategy.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the pricing performance of agricultural market advisory services in hogs. Pricing recommendations are available for all quarters from the beginning of 1995 through the end of 2001. The results show that average differences between advisory programs and market benchmarks are small in nominal terms for all three benchmarks, -$0.41/bu., $O.OO/cwt. and $-0.27/cwt. versus the cash, index and empirical benchmarks, respectively, and none of the average differences are significantly different from zero. Hence, advisory programs as a group do not outperform the market benchmarks in terms of average price. Advisory programs also do not outperform the market benchmarks in terms of average price and risk. Finally, there is...

The "quality issue" in the agri-food sector has been gaining importance over the past few years. Firms are continually searching for techniques and tools which permit production of goods that meet as many as possible of the characteristics demanded by the market. Quality assurance methods and techniques can provide a useful tool for approaching evolving markets in the correct way. This paper focuses on a survey conducted in certain sub-sectors (fruit and vegetable, meal and pasta, wine) and is specifically restricted to the Emilia-Romagna region. The survey found that there is extensive awareness of and widespread interest in quality systems. However, the objective of initiating a pattern of renewal which incorporates quality systems has not yet been...

EVIDENCE OF FARMER FORWARD PRICING BEHAVIOR
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McNew,   Kevin; Musser,   Wesley N.
The current agricultural marketing literature has considerable controversy about the optimal use of hedging for farmers. Much of this literature has very limited data on farmer behavior and an evaluation of the outcome of this behavior. This paper uses data from a hedging game from Maryland marketing clubs for 1994-1998. Hypotheses concerning the consistency of farmer behavior with the research literature on hedging are considered. Results indicate that farmers do not achieve price enhancement from hedging. However, their decisions do not conform to implications of optimal hedging models in a number of dimensions. This analysis provides further information to help bridge the gap between academic research and practical hedging.

From the 1990s, in face of the smaller participation of the government in the economy and, consequently, in the agricultural sector, the government policy  has carried out, as alternative, new support forms to the agriculture, with reduction of public resources. With regarding to the agricultural marketing, more modern instruments have been designed, involving the private sector, among them, the Sell Option Contracts, set up under the form of an insurance of prices for the farmers. In this study, it is analyzed the performance of that instrument for the wheat, rice and corn markets. It was detected, for all those markets, sensitive reduction of the government's participation in the agricultural marketing through the traditional instruments, in favor of...

Examination of Ethanol Marketing and Input Procurement Practices of the U.S. Ethanol Producers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spaulding,   Aslihan D.; Schmidgall,   Timothy J.
Growing concerns about the dependence on foreign oil and high prices of gasoline have led to rapid growth in ethanol production in the past decade. Unlike earlier development of the ethanol industry which was highly concentrated in a few large corporations, recent ownership of the ethanol plants has been by farmer-owned cooperatives. Not much is known about the marketing and purchasing practices and plants’ flexibility with respect to adapting new technologies. The purpose of this research is to fill the gap in knowledge on these practices and to test whether the practices differ with the size and type of ownership.

Autores: Hamori,   Judit; Horvath,   Agnes; Lehota,   Jozsef.
‘Consumer ethnocentrism’ is defined as consumers’ beliefs about the appropriateness or morality of purchasing domestic and foreign-made products. As a consequence of the influx of foodstuffs of dubious origin into Hungary and the increasing number of food scandals, demand for Hungarian foodstuffs of reliable origin has increased. Consumers, however, do not necessarily acquire information from the most reliable sources in the course of purchasing and most of them are not fully aware of what the trademarks featured on the various products mean. Our questionnaire survey sought answers to the questions of how respondents regard Hungarian products and what segments can be distinguished from the aspect of their attitudes concerning Hungarian products.

Autores: Acharya,   Ram N.; Gentle,   Paul F.; Mishra,   Ashok K.; Paudel,   Krishna P.
This paper analyzes historical movements in the commodity futures market and the relationship to inflation. Specifically, the relationship between the Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) Index and     United States inflation is investigated. It is said that the     relationship between the CRB index and the U.S. inflation rate was     greater in the some periods than in another period. Then in recent      times the CRB Index has proven to be a reliable early indicator     of inflation.  As the composition of the United States economy      changes, the Commodity Research Bureau must make adjustments in order   to provide a viable service.

Excise Taxes and Commodity Promotion: A Diagrammatic Motivation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Holloway,   Garth J.
This note shows how the solution to the promotion problem—the problem of locating the optimal level of advertising in a downstream market—can be motivated simply, diagrammatically, and without the need to resort to complicated mathematical arguments. The optimality condition is for the level of the farm price to remain invariant to  marginal adjustments in the program.

EXCISE TAXES AND COMMODITY PROMOTION: BAYESIAN RETRIEVAL OF THE OPTIMUM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Holloway,   Garth J.
This article shows how the solution to the promotion problem--—the problem of locating the optimal level of advertising in a downstream market--—can be derived simply, empirically, and robustly through the application of some simple calculus and Bayesian econometrics. We derive the complete distribution of the level of promotion that maximizes producer surplus and generate recommendations about patterns as well as levels of expenditure that increase net returns. The theory and methods are applied to quarterly series (1978:2S1988:4) on red meats promotion by the Australian Meat and Live-Stock Corporation. A slightly different pattern of expenditure would have profited lamb producers.

Expanding Farm-Fresh Direct-Marketing Opportunities in the 21st Century
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: German,   Carl L.; Toensmeyer,   Ulrich C.; Hopkins,   Turner; VanVranken,   Richard; Smith,   Linda.
Direct-marketing and agri-tourism businesses have recently begun to promote their businesses using stand-alone websites allowing them to tap into a larger customer base. This has created a need for direct farm markets to identify the products and services consumers are demanding from online sources. This project proposes to conduct an online survey of consumer preferences in buying direct from the farmer vs. the types of products consumers are seeking on the Internet. Our hypothesis is that the use of stand-alone web sites limit the number of consumers that farm marketers are reaching due to the time and expense involved in keeping them updated. This online survey will collect information useful in describing how farm marketers can use the Internet to...

Expanding the Agricultural Finance Frontier: A Kenyan Case
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kibaara,   Betty; Nyoro,   James K.
Agriculture is the mainstay of the Kenyan Economy. However, agriculture has experienced low productivity over the years. Poor access to agricultural finance has been identified as a contributing factor to low crop productivity. Kenyan agriculture has undergone some fundamental changes which have profoundly affected agricultural financial services. In addition, most financiers shy away from lending to the agricultural sector because of the covariant risks related to rain-fed agriculture. Given this background, we undertake a comparative analysis of emerging models of agricultural finance that have expanded the agricultural finance frontier to the smallholder farmers. Key findings indicate that demand for farming credit takes the highest proportion of the...

EXPECTATIONS, FUTURES PRICES, AND FEEDLOT BEHAVIOR
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Smith,   Rodney B.W.; Gardner,   Bruce L.
This paper attempts to improve our understanding of the effects of market prices on cattle marketing decisions, using futures prices as measures of unobserved price expectations.  This approach has been used successfully in explaining feeder cattle placements, but not in marketings.  Our aim is to provide empirical evidence on an unresolved issue in cattle marketing, the differential effects of the current price and near-term price expectations.  When the cash price of fed cattle rises, the higher returns from current sales encourage increased marketings; yet, if the price is expected to remain high it may pay to feed cattle longer, holding them back from current marketing.  By estimating marketings as a function of cash and futures prices simultaneously...

EXPERIENCES ON ORGANISATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE SECTOR IN HUNGARY

Autores: Felfoldi,   Janos.
The objectives are (1) to reveal some current issues on organisations founded by fruit and vegetable producers and (2) to stress upon those factors that should be highlighted in the very next future. In Hungary, POs have been accounting for bigger share of fruit and vegetable trading in Hungary, which refers to a better organisation in the sector. Bargaining force and level of experience on running such businesses, although, are still much behind the level expected. Flexibility and speed of a running business are highly determined by the legal form of Pos. The most favourite form is cooperative that is not flexible enough as a business form, especially for starting businesses. Low yearly turnover and weak market power feature the POs, preferring short time...

Experimental Evidence of Risk Aversion in Consumer Markets: The Case of Beef Tenderness
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alfnes,   Frode; Rickertsen,   Kyrre; Ueland,   Oydis.
Consistency of quality is important for brand loyalty and market share in consumer markets. Among consumers of beef, tenderness is the primary quality attribute. We use an experimental auction market to investigate how inconsistency in tenderness affects consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for beef. We find that both the level and the spread of tenderness affect consumers’ WTP for beef. Categorization the beef into various classes of tenderness increased the total value of the beef by 8%, which suggests that improved tenderness labeling may be a profitable strategy.

Autores: Nelson,   Robert G.; Turner,   Steven C.
Perceived characteristics of thin markets are described and approaches to furthering their study are suggested.  Design features of a laboratory thin market, patterned after a typical livestock marketing situation, are described.  Price bias and variation from a "thick" private negotiation market with 22 traders is compared to that from a "thin" auction market with 8 traders.  No systematic price bias was found in any of the markets.  Price variation was actually lower in the thin auction market.

EXPERIMENTAL SIMULATION OF PUBLIC INFORMATION IMPACTS ON PRICE DISCOVERY AND MARKETING EFFICIENCY IN THE FED CATTLE MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Anderson,   John D.; Ward,   Clement E.; Koontz,   Stephen R.; Peel,   Derrell S.; Trapp,   James N.
Federal budgetary pressures raise questions regarding the importance of public market information. This study assesses the impact of price discovery and production efficiency of reducing public price and quantity information. The amount and type of information provided to Fed Cattle Market Simulator (FCMS) participants was varied by periodically withholding current and weekly summary information according to a predetermined experimental design. Results show that reducing information increased price variance and decreased marketing efficiency; that is, more cattle were delivered at weights deviating from 1,150 pounds- the least-cost marketing weight in the simulator. These factors, which increase costs, make the industry less competitive.

Using experimental economics tools this paper is testing one of the potential pitfalls in the renewable energy certificates (RECs) market in Australia. Stylised experiment highlighted that sellers’' knowledge of the existence of the penalty to buyers for non compliance with mandatory requirements to have a certain number of RECs and the level of penalty in the duopoly market on supply side can push prices for unit of RECs higher than would occur in competitive market without penalty. The level of penalty was used by sellers as a “"focal"” point for setting the price for the unit.

Experimental Testbeds for ECOSEL: A Market Framework for Private Provision of Forest Ecosystem Services

Autores: Toth,   Sandor F.; Rabotyagov,   Sergey S.; Ettl,   Gregory J.
We attempt to design a market framework (which we call ECOSEL) for private provision of forest ecosystem services. ECOSEL is a non-regulatory framework that uses a voluntary public good provision mechanism (in a form of an auction) in conjunction with a multiobjective optimization algorithm to create a market for forest ecosystem services. It is expected to be attractive to the demand side of the ecosystem service market since only Pareto-efficient bundles of services are offered for auction, and it is expected to be attractive to the supply side as well by creating a source of non-timber income for forest landowners. ECOSEL is capable of flexible response to demand for other relevant dimensions of forest-related environmental amenities such as...

Expert Opinion and the Demand for Experience Goods: An Experimental Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hilger,   James; Rafert,   Greg; Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto.
There exist two significant obstacles to analyzing the effect of expert opinion on consumer demand for experience goods: (1) the relationship between good reviews and high product demand may be spurious and driven by high product quality, and (2) even if expert opinion increases consumer demand, it is unclear whether it does so by providing quality information or by alerting consumers to the existence of a particular product. We utilize an experimental approach in a retail grocery chain in which we display expert opinion information for a group of randomly selected wines to overcome these obstacles. We find that although there is no overall consumer response to expert opinion provision, a subset of highly reviewed wines experienced an increase in demand....

Our objective in this paper is to review the origins and main points of theories of firm behaviour used in economic theory and strategic management, with particular reference to the food marketing chain. We argue that while neoclassical economics may provide a robust framework in which to understand market outcomes for long run atomistic competition, such as conventionally modelled by agricultural economists, modern developments in both economics and strategic management add substantially to our ability to explain firm and market structures in the food marketing chain.

n the paper, we study price transmission from wholesale peanut prices to retail peanut butter prices. Using monthly data since 1984, we show that, while an increase in peanut prices is almost immediately transferred to peanut butter prices, it takes several months for a price decrease to be reflected in the peanut butter prices. Besides, the long term price transmission effect also appears to be  symmetric. The observed short and long-term asymmetry is explained as a result of profit maximizing inventory management and/or some degree of market power in peanut processing.

The challenge of implementing EU quality and safety standards for food production and trading is one of the driving forces behind the restructuring of the agrofood chains in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC). The progress made in the compliance process not only varies amongst sectors and countries, but also among particular chains due to differences in their internal structure and strategies, and features of their political and economic surroundings. We construct a models to identify determinants of the diffusion rate of standards in a food chain under pre-accession conditions. We argue that adoption decisions in the food chain are determined by farmers' and processors' economic considerations. Factors such as pricing behavior, compliance costs...

Considering the heterogeneity of the countries of southern Africa and the presence of South Africa and other middle-income countries in the region, southern Africa has a unique opportunity to exploit agricultural potential and regional trade opportunities through regional dynamics and integration. We analyze the implications of such opportunities for the growth of the low-income countries, using a regional general equilibrium model that captures growth linkages. We find that growth in the middle-income southern African countries, such as South Africa, benefits the region’s low-income countries through increased demand for their agricultural exports. Agricultural productivity growth, however, is necessary for low-income countries to take advantage of South...

The Internet’s unbounded opportunity for inter-firm exchanges is limited by concerns about trust, however, little is known about the development and formation of trust in the area of electronic business-to-business relationships. Drawing on existing research the aim of paper is to explore differences arising between trust in the traditional and in the electronic business to business relationship. In addition, an overall research framework is developed which links trust formation to three dimensions: the type of interaction, the stage of the relationship lifecycle and the type of transacting organizations. These dimensions are further examined in different relationship scenarios. Finally, implications for the agri-food industry are examined.

Limited information exists regarding the extent and characteristics of branded fresh beef. Retail package data from a sample of grocery stores in three metropolitan areas enabled determining the extent of branded beef for ground beef, roasts, and steaks. Logit models identified factors affecting the probability of beef products being branded, and the probability of beef products carrying specific types of brands compared with store brands and generic (unbranded) beef. The extent of branded beef and type of brand both varied by store type, specific product, quality designation, package type, and presence of special labeling.

Factor Price Disparity in the Feeder Cattle Market and Retained Ownership Decision Making:  An Application of Farm-Level Feed-Out Data
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: White,   Brad J.; Anderson,   John D.
This study uses farm-level data from a university feed-out program to evaluate how the value of feeder cattle ultimately realized through finishing and grid pricing differs from their market value at public auction.  Results indicate that uncertainty related to feedlot performance, final carcass merits, and fed cattle prices likely contribute to significant risk premiums in the feeder cattle market.  This is consistent with the theory of factor price disparity.  This result indicates that producers of cattle with known feedlot performance and/or carcass potential may be better off retaining ownership of their calves or marketing them in a way that communicates the information that is known about their potential performance directly to the buyer.

Few farmers utilize futures and options markets to price their crops despite significant educational efforts. This study seeks to analyze producer hedging behavior within the framework of the overall marketing behavior. Producer marketing behavior is modeled as a simultaneous choice between cash sales, cooperative marketing and forward contracts, and hedging. A multinomial logit model is used for empirical estimation using data from a survey administered to a sample of cotton producers from across the U.S. The most important factors that explain the use of forward pricing by cotton producers are producer preferences, farm size, use of crop insurance, risk aversion, income from government payments and off-farm income. Risk aversion, off-farm income, crop...

Cattle producers and beef packers need to understand basis determinants as they develop price expectations and make pricing, hedging, and forward contracting decisions.  This study empirically estimated factors explaining variability in monthly fed cattle basis.  The five main results regarding live cattle basis are 1) corn price is an important determinant, 2) a change in the value of the Choice-to-Select spread positively affects basis, 3) changes in the levels of captive supplies have no significant statistical or economic impact on basis 4) the June 1995 live cattle futures contract did not impact basis, and 5) both market fundamentals and seasonal components are important basis determinants.

This study examines the factors associated with fruit and vegetable farmer participation in these programs using mean comparisons and bivariate probit regression. Results suggest that farmer participation in these programs was associated with operation size, percentage of income from farming, percentage of annual sales from fresh produce, and attendance to University Extension educational events. These results should interest individuals attempting to increase producer participation in these types of programs.

Factors Affecting Quality Grade Discounts for Fed Cattle
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hogan,   Robert J., Jr.; Carlberg,   Jared G.; Ward,   Clement E.; Peel,   Derrell S.
Prices for Choice and Select grade fed cattle are derived from wholesale and retail beef markets. Choice-Select price discounts are a key component of fed cattle pricing, whether packers purchase fed cattle on a live weight, dressed weight, or grid. This study identifies supply, demand, and other factors affecting the Choice-Select discount series using an adaptive expectations model. It is found that the lagged value of the discount as well as the percentage grading Choice exert statistically significant influences on the discount, while neither the boxed beef price nor seasonality affect the discount.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE LEVEL OF COMMERCIALIZATION AMONG CATTLE KEEPERS IN THE PASTORAL AREAS OF UGANDA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ruhangawebare,   Godfrey Kalemera.
Deliberate efforts have been made by the government of Uganda to commercialize agriculture through market and trade liberalisation. However, marketed livestock offtake has remained low contributing to the existing per capita meat deficit. A survey was conducted by way of personal interviews with 180 respondents in selected central and western pastoral districts of Uganda. The study was initiated with the overall purpose of assessing the factors that influence cattle keepers‘ participation in commercialization of livestock production in the pastoral communities and to establish the factors affecting cattle keepers‘ decision to sell cattle. Descriptive statistical analysis and Tobit model were used to answer the study objectives. The average household size...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of genetic group and calf sex on selling prices in auctions in the state of Santa Catarina (SC), Brazil. We evaluated 33,143 animals, representing 3,587 lots in 47 auctions from 2009 to 2014. The calves were classified according to genetic groups: British breed or crossbreed (BX); Continental breed or crossbreed (CX); Zebu breed or crossbreed (ZC); British and Continental crossbreed (BC); and Bos taurus and Bos indicus crossbreed (TI). The lots were composed of male and female calves. The years presenting low and high changes in the price of calves were similar to the variation in the price of beef cattle and, in 2014, the calf price reached its highest value (R$5.36). Male calves were...

Factors affecting the use of forward pricing methods in price risk management with special reference to the influence of risk aversion
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jordaan,   Henry; Grove,   Bennie.
Risk aversion is the primary reason for farmers to use forward pricing methods to hedge against price risk. Previous international research on farmers’ forward pricing behaviour found inconsistent results with respect to the relationship between risk aversion and the use of forward pricing methods. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression is used in this research to investigate the relationship between the proportion of maize Vaalharts maize producers are willing to forward price and risk aversion. The quantity decision is modelled conditional on the adoption decision to ensure that the modelling procedure does not force the same variables to influence the two decisions in the same way. Regression results showed that more risk averse farmers are forward...

A random nth price experimental auction is used to elicit the willingness to pay (WTP) a premium for the locally produced and high quality white bean "Mongeta Ganxet" (MG) (Catalonia - Spain). Moreover, we are interested in testing the effect on the WTP of providing different pieces of information to participants. Results indicate that the provision of information on organoleptic, nutritional and cooking characteristics of the MG as well as their tasting has increased participants' WTP. Also, providing reference prices of substitutive products (both conventional and alternative high quality white beans) positively stimulates the premium participants are willing to pay for the MG. Finally, the level of consumption, the degree of knowledge about the product...

Factors Influencing Basis and the Speed of Basis Adjustment in Grain Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Riley,   John Michael.
Basis for grains and other crops has widened in recent years.  Many factors are attributable to basis changes.  However, in the Mississippi Delta region basis levels rose sharply in 2007 and 2008.  Comparatively, although basis levels for corn and soybeans did widen in the Midwestern region it was to a lesser extent. Much the same is true with regard to wheat when comparing the Delta region with that of Western Kansas.

FACTORS INFLUENCING SOUTHERN DAIRY FARMERS' CHOICE OF MILK HANDLERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Misra,   Sukant K.; Carley,   Dale H.; Fletcher,   Stanley M.
Survey data of 2,538 dairy farmers located in 12 southern states were used to analyze the factors influencing farmers' choice of milk handlers.  Results from a qualitative response model indicate that a combination of price and non-price factors contribute to dairy farmers' attitudes toward their milk handlers.  Specifically, the decision to change milk handlers was significantly influenced by prices paid and deductions charged.  However, non-price factors including field services, friendly personnel, and loyalty to a handler contributed to the longer term affiliation of dairy farmers with their milk handlers.

Autores: Ward,   Clement E.
Motives for grid pricing of fed cattle have been identified in previous research.  Also, estimates of grid pricing exist from feedlot surveys and data generated via mandatory price reports since 2001.  However, no research has attempted to estimate factors influencing the extent of grid pricing by cattle feeders.  Cattle feedlot respondents to a survey primarily in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and Texas reported a wide range of grid pricing use in 2003.  Two groups of feedlot respondents were created; those using grid pricing for half or less of their fed cattle marketings in 2003 and those using grid pricing for more than half of their marketings.  Ordinary least squares and ordered logit models were estimated to determine factors affecting grid pricing...

Participation in commercial agriculture holds considerable potential for unlocking suitable opportunity sets necessary for providing better incomes and sustainable livelihoods for small-scale farmers. This study examined factors that influence the intensity of market participation among smallholder farmers in Kenya. Data was obtained through a rapid rural appraisal and a household survey. A truncated regression model was applied in the analysis. Results showed that farmers in peri-urban areas sold higher proportions of their output than those in rural areas. Distance from farm to point of sale is a major constraint to the intensity of market participation. Better output price and market information are key incentives for increased sales. These findings...

Farm Animal Welfare - Testing for Market Failure
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carlsson,   Fredrik; Grykblom,   Peter; Lagerkvist,   Carl Johan.
Many consumers are concerned with animal welfare in the conventional production of farm livestock. This concern can be related both to their own and others’ consumption. In the latter case, there is a negative externality from consumption. We suggest a survey design that enables us to test for a market failure in farm livestock production. Applying this to the question of battery cages in egg production, we cannot show that a market failure exists. The policy can be extended to general discussion of how potential market failures for all kind of farm livestock should be managed.

FARM PRICE ESTIMATION WHEN THERE IS BARGAINING:  THE CASE OF PROCESSED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: French,   Ben C.
Raw product prices for many processed fruits and vegetables are determined in part as an outcome of negotiations between processors and farmer bargaining associations. In such cases, unique market equilibrium solutions may not exist. This study develops a framework for price prediction under bargaining and applies it to the California cling peach industry. The price prediction equation turns out to involve the same variables as would a model specified for perfect competition. Hence a mistaken assumption about the structure of competition may still provide a model that predicts well, provided the structure remains constant.

Farmer Entrepreneurship in New Zealand - Some Observations from Case Studies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gow,   Neil G.
1984 was a watershed in New Zealand agriculture which led to a flowering of entrepreneurial activity by some New Zealand farmers. A change of government and a national economic crisis lead to a complete and drastic review and subsequent restructuring of the agricultural sector. Farmers were forced to recognize that they could no longer rely on government support but had to meet the market. This paper reflects on research carried out at Lincoln University that has focused on case histories of some successful farmer entrepreneurs who grew out of this era. It attempts to link the case studies involved to concepts enunciated in the academic literature, especially those of performance and opportunity gaps, strategic intent, marketing strategies and supply chain...

The structure of the New Zealand merino industry has been through a period of rapid organizational change and marketing innovation over the past decade. This has seen it move away from a publicly regulated spot auction market structure characterised by undifferentiated product receiving pooled equilibrium commodity prices often at a discount to the international market price to a market structure composed of both privately controlled strongly vertically integrated marketing initiatives characterised by tight contractual relationships gaining substantial premiums over the international market place operating concurrently along side the traditional spot auction markets. The emergence of these new marketing structures has thus forced farmers to seriously...

Farmer Participation in Supermarket Channels, Production Technology, and Efficiency: The Case of Vegetables in Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rao,   Elizaphan J.O.; Brümmer,   Bernhard; Qaim,   Matin.
Supermarkets are gaining ground in the agri-food systems of many developing countries. While recent research has analyzed income effects in the small farm sector, impacts on productivity and efficiency have hardly been studied. We use a meta-frontier approach and combine this with propensity score matching to estimate treatment effects among vegetable farmers in Kenya. Participation in supermarket channels increases farm productivity in terms of meta-technology ratios by 45%. We also find positive and significant impacts on technical efficiency and scale efficiency. Supermarket expansion therefore presents opportunities for agricultural growth in the small farm sector, which is crucial for poverty reduction in Africa.

The paper lays out the economic arguments in favor of the establishment of farmer-owned brands in midwestern agriculture and presents four case studies based on successful efforts in this area in the United States and European Union. The case studies involve Parma Ham, Brunello di Montalcino wine, Vidalia onions, and a third-party verification organization. The studies show that these brands can be profitable for farmers and emphasize the importance of restricting the supply of any successful brand. One of the case studies shows that this type of supply control can conflict with antitrust regulations.

The resurgence of farmers’ markets in New Jersey has been welcomed by farmers, consumers and municipalities alike. This form of direct marketing has the potential to benefit all three sectors simultaneously. Farmers’ markets allow growers to capture a greater share of the consumer’s food expenditure thus increasing their profitability. Similarly, consumers’ need for fresh, high quality commodities as well as for farm-based recreational experiences are met. Also, drawing customers to downtown areas can contribute to the revitalization of these areas by boosting the business of local retailers. However, despite their rapid spread throughout the state, no study has been conducted on the efficiency of the farmers’ markets in terms of management and...

This paper analyses the impact of customer satisfaction and its driving forces for farmer- to-consumer direct marketing and is based on a customer survey in 33 organic and conventional on-farm stores in Germany. The results emphasise the role of store atmosphere and customer service as the main influencing factors on customer satisfaction.

Farmer-To-Farmer Advice: What's the Best Way to Sell Raw Wool in Australia?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jackson,   Elizabeth; Quaddus,   Mohammed; Islam,   Nazrul; Stanton,   John.
Some 85% of all raw wool produced in Australia is sold on the open-cry auction system (Bolt 2004). Current debate among wool growers highlighted the need to explore other methods available and, of these, determine what are the most preferred. Four focus groups were conducted in regional Western Australia to ascertain primary producers' opinions on the options available for selling their raw wool. Focus group p articipants were given a series of scenarios to brainstorm, these focused on offering advice to a new neighbour who had n ever grown wool. Results of the research showed that auctioning wool via the services of a broker is by far the preferred selling method. Forward contracting and internet-based selling were options that were unfamiliar but worthy...

Farming Exit Decision by Age Group: Analysis of Tobacco Buyout Impact in Kentucky
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pushkarskaya,   Helen N.; Vedenov,   Dmitry V.
This article analyzes factors that affected the decision to exit tobacco production in the wake of the tobacco buyout program using the data collected through a survey of Kentucky tobacco farmers. Using the Heuristic logistic regression model, we find that the decision to exit tobacco growing was affected by efficiency considerations, availability of off-farm employment, and exit barriers. Availability of off-farm employment had the strongest effect on farmers younger than 46, while the effect of variables measuring efficiency and exit barriers seemed to be more uniform across age groups. Based on the results we suggest several policy interventions.

FARM-LEVEL PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPACT OF DOMESTIC SUPERMARKETS ON KENYA'S FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES SUPPLY SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Neven,   David; Reardon,   Thomas; Odera,   Michael M.; Wang,   Honglin.
The rise of supermarkets in Kenya has given rise to a new group of medium-sized farms managed by well-educated farmers. Focusing on kale, the essay shows that nearly all supermarket-channel farmers have the capacity to supply larger volumes year round and have transportation vehicles, an irrigation system, a packing shed, a cellular phone, and so on, pointing to the existence of a threshold capital vector which farmers must have in order to access supermarkets. Especially farm size and irrigation were found to be significant determinants of participation in the supermarket channel. Kale suppliers to supermarkets use more capital intensive production technologies, leading to average labor and land productivities which are 60-70% higher than in the...

FEEDER CATTLE PRICE DIFFERENTIALS IN ARIZONA AUCTION MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Faminow,   Merle D.; Gum,   Russell L.
This paper presents the results of an empirical study of price differentials for feeder cattle in Arizona auction markets.  Emphasis is placed upon the estimation of price/weight relationships for steers and heifers.  Estimation of a short-run feeder cattle price differential model resulted in an equation with a good empirical fit.  The model also is in agreement with theoretical expectations.  It is concluded that the model presented in the paper could be maintained and updated periodically to provide a useful supplement to market price information services commonly used by cattle producers.

Feedlot and Packer Pricing Behavior: Implications for Competition Research
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.
Seldom are observed losing bids available in industry data. A special workshop of the Fed Cattle Market Simulator was designed to capture bids for each pen of cattle traded. Data enabled identifying buyer and seller behavior in the price discovery process, both before and after imposed mergers of the two largest and two smallest packer teams. Highest losing bids also were estimated with packer bid functions and compared with observed highest losing bids. An estimated price discovery model indicated market structure as measured by number of buyers was more important than simply the number of bids or size of transactions.

Even though it is clear that Substantial growth in inorganic fertilizer use is a prerequisite for sustained agricultural growth in Africa, fertilizer use is still one of the factors explaining lagging agricultural productivity growth in SSA. High transport costs and less policy support pose a significant barrier to make fertilizer application profitable in Africa. This paper is aimed to identify organizational and institutional changes that could reduce fertilizer transport costs and their impacts on profitability of fertilizer application. A model is constructed to simulated transport costs from ports to farm-gate at pixel level based on the knowledge of road network condition, surface land cover type, slope, imported fertilizer price at the port, storing...

Autores: Thomas,   Arthur M.; Canter,   Neil.
The benefits to Florida orange growers of generic orange juice advertising are assessed using additive, nonlinear, regional econometric models, measuring the impact of category and brand marketing efforts on category demand while controlling for pricing and various other factors. The study shows that generic marketing efforts increased orange juice category demand by 8.3 percent, resulting in increased orange prices and a benefit-to-cost ratio to Florida growers of 3.5 to 1. Branded promotional activity was found to primarily fuel brand switching and pantry-loading, with only modest impacts on overall category demand.

Financing agricultural inputs in Northern Togo through an inventory credit system: an economic analysis of institutional response
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Konlambigue,   Abdou.
Agricultural intensification is widely seen as a condition sine-qua-non for enhanced food security and as a major driver for overall economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this process, the financial system has an important role to play, especially to finance agricultural inputs. However in SSA, the financial institutions initiated by governments and donors have in general not lived up to the expectations, in particular not for the agricultural sector, because of inappropriate design and weaknesses in implementation. Even the microfinance institutions which were supposed to support the small-scale farmers have deflected for their goals due to the risks that the agricultural sector represents. To date, the economic research tends to concentrate on...

Financing Smallholder Agricultural Production in Kenya: An Analysis of Effective Demand for Credit
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nyikal,   Rose Adhiambo.
Financing smallholder farming has been one of the major concerns of Kenya’s development efforts. Many credit programs have evolved over the years but with dismal performance. In a study that sought to find the best way to fund smallholder agriculture, it became necessary to analyze and document smallholders’ effective demand for credit. Of particular interest was the comparison of the existing production plans and production plans under strictly profit maximization. Linear programming model was used to formalize observed plans and determine those under profit maximization. Both the activities and the values of outputs under different objectives were compared. Farm Investment Analysis was undertaken to determine the suitability of funding farm activities...

Finding a sustainable linkage between the emerging farmer and formal markets: The case of pick ‘n pay and the Zanyokwe farmers in the eastern Cape of South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bediako,   J.A.; Debrah,   Kofi.
A major problem confronting rural and emerging farmers is the marketing of their products. Most of the farmers encountered depend on the local or village markets which are often saturated or purchases are not backed by effective demand to make sales meaningful for the desired benefits. Small scale South African farmers have not been able to access the formal sector to sell their goods. There are several reasons for this which is linked to the nature of the historical evolution of the South African agricultural sector and in particular the food production system. Recently, it has been argued that the small scale farmers are not able to meet the standards that are set by the formal sector and are therefore responsible for their own exclusion by producing...

FINDINGS OF PRICING-TO-MARKET: MARKET SEGMENTATION OR PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lavoie,   Nathalie; Liu,   Qihong.
Pricing to market (PTM) has been examined extensively in the recent trade literature using Knetter's (1989) model. The technique is typically applied using export unit values that aggregate differentiated products. We examine the potential bias in PTM results when using export unit values using a vertical differentiation model. We find that: i) false evidence of PTM ("pseudo PTM") is always found due to aggregation when calculating export unit values, whether the law of one price (LOP) holds or not; ii)when markets are segmented, the fraction of pseudo PTM increases with the level of product differentiation. Correspondingly, our simulation results suggest that: i) it is possible to get a statistically significant estimate of the exchange rate coefficient,...

Firm Entry, Firm Exit, and Urban‐Biased Growth
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yu,   Li; Jolly,   Robert W.; Orazem,   Peter F.
We introduce a taxonomy that classifies industries using three criteria: net growth in the number of firms; the interrelationship between firm entry and firm exit; and the degree of urban bias in industry growth. We show that in 9 of 15 two-digit NAICS industries investigated, there is evidence of urban bias consistent with a comparative advantage to starting a business in urban markets. The urban advantage is due primarily to faster firm entry rates. Urban and rural firms have similar firm exit rates, consistent with a presumption that there are equal expected profit rates conditional on entry across markets. Urban areas grow faster because they induce faster firm entry and not because urban firms are more likely to succeed.

Firm-specific information, product differentiation, and industry equilibrium
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perloff,   Jeffrey M.; Salop,   Steven.
Where consumers have imperfect information about specific firms’ prices and lack information about the market, firms have informational market power. In general, improving the consumer’s information about each firm’s price will not necessarily lower average market price. We show, however, that certain types of improvements will lower price. Moreover, a reduction in barriers to entry (e.g., capital costs) will lower price-holding information constant. Where a significant number (but not all) consumers have perfect information, single-price equilibria are impossible.

Fishery Co-Management in Japanese Coastal Fisheries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Uchida,   Hirotsugu.
This paper presents an empirical analysis of the Japanese coastal fishery co-management system.  In particular, the paper focuses on the effectiveness of Fishery Management Organizations (FMOs), which are established by groups of fishermen and set rules and regulations that they self-enforce.  The paper finds that FMOs engaged actively in marketing practices in their output markets significantly increased their member fishermen's revenue.  Proceeds sharing rules, where individual proceeds are pooled and shared among the members, appeared to have marginal effects despite of several anecdotal evidence that suggests otherwise.  Findings suggest that benefit gains from the output markets is substantial in successful fishery co-management.

Autores: King,   Robert P.; Lybecker,   Donald W.
A model designed to identify preferred postharvest marketing strategies for pinto bean producers is presented. The model evaluates flexible strategies that use current market information to determine whether or not storage should continue.  Explicit consideration is given to price uncertainty and risk preferences.  The results indicate that nearly all decision makers prefer flexible strategies to fixed strategies that call for a predetermined pattern of sales.  They also show that the choice of a marketing strategy is sensitive to risk preferences.  Initial experiences in making the model available to producers are also discussed.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Harrison,   R. Wes; Jaenicke,   Edward C.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Jakus,   Paul M.
During the 14-month period from May 2002 to June 2003, approximately 10 percent of U.S. supermarkets began to offer fresh irradiated ground beef under the stores' own labels. Using a survey of supermarket store managers from this time period, this paper investigates the factors that influenced new product offerings and adoptions.  Results from the adoption model show that factors associated with competition and structure in the food retailing industry play a strong role in the decision. Among other results, we find that variables relating to a competitor's adoption status and proximity significantly affect a store's decision to offer fresh irradiated ground beef.

Food Chain Actors’ Perceptions of and Adaptations to Volatile Markets: Results of a Media Analysis

Autores: von Davier,   Zazie; Heyder,   Matthias; Theuvsen,   Ludwig.
The volatility of agricultural markets has increased remarkably in recent years. In spite of this, the way in which supply chain actors perceive market volatility has only rarely been analyzed. This paper seeks to close this research gap by presenting empirical findings about how the volatility of agricultural markets is perceived, how increasing market volatilities are being explained, and what adaptations to the volatile external environments are being suggested. Based on a large‐scale media analysis, we have identified perceptions, which vary greatly over time, especially with regard to the perception of the threats and opportunities volatility creates for farms and firms and the most frequently identified reasons for volatile prices.

Autores: Elitzak,   Howard.
Food prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), increased 2.6 percent in 1997. This increase was greater than the overall increase in the CPI (which rose 2.3 percent) for the third consecutive year. Higher charges for processing and distributing food, as measured by the farm-to-retail price spread, were primarily responsible for the 1997 increase. The prices farmers received for commodities, as measured by the farm value of USDA's market basket of foods, dropped 4.4 percent. The farm value share of the food dollar spent in grocery stores in 1997 was 23 percent, a decrease of 2 percent from 1996. The farm-to-retail price spread of USDA's market basket of foods rose 4.7 percent, partly reflecting higher prices of inputs, such as labor.

Tropical Horticulture Enterprises (T.H.E) is a Ugandan initiative that works to add value to fruits, bananas and vegetables. The main out put of this initiative are processed dried fruits, fresh fruits, banana flour and fresh vegetables. T.H.E taps the 22% of banana and fruit loss at farm gate due to failure to access markets timely, besides poor handling knowledge and poor storage facilities in rural agricultural producing areas in the country. The initiative boasts of linkage with farmers and it has a bottom up network through which farmers have benefited in various trainings. The main objective of this initiative is to improve farmer’s incomes through providing an alternative avenue and market access to foods produced and ferried to markets without any...

Food Innovation and Market Risk: A Case Study of the Interface Consumer Food Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Briz,   Julian; de Carlos,   Pilar; de Felipe,   Isabel; Garcia Martinez,   Marian; Morais,   Federico.
Western society is suffering an increasing risk regarding the food chain for several reasons. Longer geographical distances between producers and consumers, more stakeholders in the supply chain, less capacity of national governments to regulate and protect consumers due to globalisation and the liberalization process, with pressure to innovate and increase competitively.. During the period 2004-06, there is being carried out a research project in Spain, coordinated by the Polytechnic University of Madrid and sponsored by INIA. The goal is to understand the consumer behaviour identifying the attributes of food products and to transmit the results to the food industry entrepreneurs, in order to increase their efficiency in innovation.

Food Marketing and Pricing Policy in Eastern and Southern Africa: Lessons for Increasing Agricultural Productivity and Access to Food
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Jones,   Stephen P.
This study surveys the empirical record of grain marketing and pricing policy in selected Eastern and Southern Africa countries. The paper addresses five key issues with major implications for food policy in Africa: (a) why the anticipated supply response to market liberalization has not yet occurred; (b) why the common assumption of state taxation of farmers to support a cheap food policy does not apply in most of these countries; (c) why the temporary successes of the state-led approach to stimulating smallholder grain production were unsustainable; (d) why the elimination of government food subsidies associated with market reform has not adversely affected consumers; and (e) why marketing board deficits have risen rather than declined after the reforms...

The most efficient food delivery system in the world is becoming even more so with new electronic information gathered at the checkout counter and quickly transmitted to food distributors and manufacturers.  In order to meet new competition in the retail  market for food and food services, traditional grocery stores and their suppliers are redesigning how they present, order and distribute products.  This effort is called Efficient Consumer Response (ECR).  It is a system whereby consumer preferences, expressed through their purchases, are revealed to food manufacturers and then back to producers.  Commodities with special characteristics for preferred types of food are pulled out of the food and agricultural system as opposed to being pushed out in bulk...

Food policy liberalization in Bangladesh: How the Markets and the Government Delivered?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chowdhury,   Nuimuddin; Farid,   Naser; Roy,   Devesh.
Three factors, advent of new technology (HYV), development of infrastructure and market liberalization working in tandem have delivered favorable food security outcomes for Bangladesh. Bangladesh’s food-policy has benefited from a liberalized trade regime and a consistent downsizing of the government, all with favorable effects on poverty and nutrition. Post liberalization, the findings suggest a perceptible increase in the cost-effectiveness of the public food grain distribution system (PFDS). The favorable effects of liberalization are also evident in growths in outputs, market size, the size of private stocks, the emergence of a two peak harvest seasonality, and finally in declining real rice prices. The government has moreover downsized the PFDS,...

Food Price Volatility and Macroeconomic Factors: Evidence from GARCH and GARCH-X Estimates
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Apergis,   Nicholas; Rezitis,   Anthony N.
This article examines food price volatility in Greece and how it is affected by short-run deviations between food prices and macroeconomic factors. The methodology follows the GARCH and GARCH-X models. The results show that there exists a positive effect between the deviations and food price volatility. The results are highly important for producers and consumers because higher volatility augments the uncertainty in the food markets. Once the participants receive a signal that the food market is volatile, this might lead them to ask for increased government intervention in the allocation of investment resources and this could reduce overall welfare.

FOOD RETAIL SALES (PRICING): THEORY AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR GERMAN GROCERY STORES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Loy,   Jens-Peter; Weaver,   Robert D.
Retail pricing indicates many phenomena, such as sales or rigidities. A number of models have been proposed in particular to explain the occurrence of sales. Focussing on the market for fresh foods the model by Varian and the loss leader argument seem to be intuitively best fitting to the conditions in the fresh food market. From these models we derive several hypotheses that are tested for a unique data set of the German fresh food retail market The data set consists of weekly prices for ten food items in 131 grocery shops over the period from 1995 to 2000. The results support to some extent the Varian model and also indicate some dynamic loss leader pricing. However, rejections of some hypothesis provide some hints for successive models adjustments....

Food Retailers'  Pricing and Marketing Strategies, with Implications for Producers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sexton,   Richard J.; Xia,   Tian; Li,   Lan.
This paper examines grocery retailers' ability to influence prices charged to consumers and paid to suppliers. We discuss how retailer market power manifests itself in terms of pricing and marketing strategies by setting forth and offering evidence in support of eight "stylized facts" of retailer pricing and brand decisions. We argue that little, if any, of this behavior can be explained by a model of a competitive, price-taking retailer, but that most of the indicated behavior was also inconsistent with traditional models of market power. Finally, we discuss the impacts of aspects of this retailer behavior on the upstream farm sector.

This paper focuses on agro- food chains and agro- food consumer prices in Slovenia considering its European Union (EU) membership. As the Slovenian agro- food markets were distorted prior to the EU accession with some agro- food prices that were greater than comparable EU prices, the empirical results confirm that with the EU membership Slovenian real agro- food consumer prices have largely downward adjusted. Besides policy changes, internalization of retailing and distribution chains by entries of supermarket s and hypermarket s have had impacts on market structures and rationalization of marketing activities. Supermarket s and hypermarket s are taking over a substantial proportion of retail trade in agro- food products with implications on increasing...

Food security in Uganda: a dilemma to achieving the millennium development goal
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ssewanyana,   Sarah N.; Kasirye,   Ibrahim.
The status of food security in Uganda is worrying. The share of Ugandans suffering from food insecurity measured in terms of caloric intake is alarmingly high with low rates of income poverty. Based on the 2005/06 Uganda National Household Survey data, the study provides insights into access to food at household level. More importantly, the study shows that average caloric intake stood at 1,970 calories per person per day, which is below the minimum caloric requirement of 2,200 calories. As such, a population of 17.5 million Ugandans in 3.1 million households were unable to meet the minimum caloric requirement in 2006. This raises questions on whether Uganda will be able to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 1: halving extreme poverty and hunger...

FOOD-GRAIN MARKET EVALUATION IN NICARAGUA:  THE RICE CASE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Navarro,   Luis A.
Like most of the Latin American countries, Nicaragua bases its economy largely within the agricultural sector.  Throughout history, the agricultural sector of Nicaragua has followed a tortuous path, which explains in part the pattern of a slow development process and the final relationship between GDP growth and the export activity.  Long before Nicaragua's independence, maize, tobacco, sugar, and cacao represented the most important crops, in the production of which almost the entire rural population was engaged.  The period between the independence from Spain in 1821 and 1857 was characterized by a political transition, in which Nicaragua left the Central American Federation and went into the struggle between the two existing political parties, Liberals...

Foodgrain Supply, Distribution, and Consumption Policies within a Duel Pricing Mechanism: a Case Study of Bangladesh
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ahmed,   Raisuddin.
Conflict between the short run welfare of poor consumers and agricultural production incentives creates some of the most difficult policy issues facing developing countries. Resulting policy option constraints are particularly severe in very low income countries. The conflict may on the one hand impede the growth in al production essential to improve long term welfare of low income consumers, and on the other hand restrain policies to increase consumption, which in the long run is essential to the success of the measures taken to increase production. The widely observed phenomenon of urban bias in food price policy is itself a product of the nature of low income societies and of this complex conflict.  This research by Raisuddin Ahmed delineates and...

FORECAST ENCOMPASSING AND FUTURES MARKET EFFICIENCY: THE CASE OF MILK FUTURES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Manfredo,   Mark R.; Sanders,   Dwight R.
The traditional necessary condition for futures market inefficiency is the existence of alternative forecasting methods that produce mean squared forecast errors smaller than the futures market.   Here, a more exacting requirement for futures market efficiency is proposed—forecast encompassing.  Using the multiple forecast encompassing procedure of Harvey and Newbold, forecast encompassing is tested with the CME fluid milk futures contract.  Time series models and experts at the USDA provide the competing forecasts.  The results suggest that the CME fluid milk futures do not encompass the information contained in the USDA forecasts at a two-quarter forecast horizon.  While the competing forecasts generate positive revenues, it is unlikely that trading...

Forecasting Crop Basis Using Historical Averages Supplemented with Current Market Information

Autores: Taylor,   Mykel R.; Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Kastens,   Terry L.
This research compares practical methods of forecasting basis, using current market information for wheat, soybeans, corn, and milo (grain sorghum) in Kansas. Though generally not statistically superior, an historical one-year average was optimal for corn, milo, and soybean harvest and post-harvest basis forecasts. A one-year average was also best for wheat post-harvest basis forecasts, whereas a five-year average was the best method for forecasting wheat harvest basis. Incorporating current market information, defined as basis deviation from historical average, improved the accuracy of post-harvest basis forecasts. A naive forecast incorporating current information was often the most accurate for post-harvest basis forecasts.

FORECASTING DAILY VOLATILITY USING RANGE-BASED DATA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Yuanfang; Roberts,   Matthew C.
Users of agricultural markets frequently need to establish accurate representations of expected future volatility. The fact that range-based volatility estimators are highly efficient has been acknowledged in the literature. However, it is not clear whether using range-based data leads to better risk management decisions. This paper compares the performance of GARCH models, range-based GARCH models, and log-range based ARMA models in terms of their forecasting abilities. The realized volatility will be used as the forecasting evaluation criteria. The conclusion helps establish an efficient forecasting framework for volatility models.

The costs of corn- and soybean-based feeds compose a substantial proportion of the variable costs faced by both mainstream and emergent confined livestock producers. This research develops a method to provide a joint distribution of prices of corn and soybean meal at a future time. Black's 1976 option model and stochastic volatility jump diffusion (SVJD) model are compared in volatility forecasting performance. In general, SVJD is superior to Black's model, though their performance is both commodity-specific and forecasting horizon specific.

FORECASTING MARKET SHARE USING A FLEXIBLE LOGISTIC MODEL

Autores: Quagrainie,   Kwamena K.
There is a strong competition from low-priced imported catfish fillets resulting in a declining market share for domestic farm-raised catfish fillets.  To match the competition, catfish processors are embarking on pricing policy measures that are volume-oriented instead of profit- or image-oriented.  This could be an effective short-run pricing policy measure for optimal long-run sustainability and profitability of the industry.  Volume pricing strategies are aimed at meeting target sales volumes or market shares.  This paper explores and compares the performance of the standard logit, the inverse power transformation (IPT) logit and the logarithmic version of the inverse power transformation logit models in terms of generating forecasts for market share...

Autores: Poonyth,   Daneswar; van Zyl,   Johan; Meyer,   Ferdinand H.
In this study, an econometric model of the South African maize and sorghum sector is estimated. Using the developed model, a market outlook for the two major grain sectors – maize and sorghum - for 1999/00 to 2006/07, is generated under the specified assumptions. Results indicate that for both maize and sorghum, consumption will gradually increase over time. In spite of varying areas of maize and sorghum being harvested, total production will also gradually increase over time due to increases in particularly yields.

There is a new and increasing emphasis on poverty alleviation and livelihoods improvement in forestry, representing both a challenge and an opportunity. This paper briefly reviews the evolution of the ‘livelihoods’ issue, analyses the concept of ‘poverty alleviation’ and discusses means by which forestry can contribute to livelihoods improvement. It focuses on the contributions of forest products and markets, questioning the typical timber vs nontimber dichotomy. The role and the potential of a forest product is determined more by the socioeconomic and environmental context of the production, processing and marketing system than by the physical characteristics of the product itself. This is important as new opportunities arise through increased control of...

FORMULA-DERIVED VERSUS OBSERVED MARKET PRICES: AN APPLICATION FOR SEGREGATED EARLY WEANED PIGS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.
A formula (the "K-State formula") for deriving the price of segregated early weaned (SEW) pigs using corn, soybean meal, and market hog prices was estimated based on equating return on investment for the different phases of swine production – farrow, nursery, and finish. USDA reported SEW pig prices were compared with prices derived from the K-State formula and several other common formulas.  Based on root mean squared error and mean absolute error accuracy measures, the K-State formula did a better job of predicting spot-market prices than the other formulas.  In terms of the K-State formula accurately predicting spot market prices, producers appear to form price expectations based on futures plus expected basis more so than simply futures prices or...

Forward contracting of inputs in production agriculture is becoming increasingly important as more farmers attempt to manage risk.  Using a logit model and farm-level data, this analysis estimates the effect of factors on the probability of a producer using forward input contracting.  Results suggest that use of contracting in selling of crops and livestock, technology, farm size, geographic location, participation in government commodity programs, and use of extension services are important factors affecting the choice to forward contract inputs.

Forward pricing behavior of random samples of Indiana, Nebraska, and Mississippi crop producers was analyzed using Heckman’s two-step limited information maximum likelihood estimation procedure.  Producers who forward priced during the 1995-1998 period generally expected to forward price in 1999 using similar techniques.  Probit models were estimated for cash forward contracts and taking a direct position in futures or options separately and combined.  Results provide limited support for the hypothesis that forward pricing should be analyzed as an adoption decision.  Variables reflecting risk attitudes do affect the decision to use forward pricing, while variables to economic position affect the level of forward  pricing.

The availability, access and affordability of food is a highly politicized issue throughout the world. In much of southern Africa, there is a widespread view that governments are responsible for ensuring that their populations have reliable access to food. Zambia, like most countries in Southern Africa, is vigorously pursuing continued direct public sector involvement and protectionist measures in the maize marketing sector. Since 1995, the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) and more recently, subsidies through the Fertilizer Support Program (FSP), have been the major instruments of government policy. While in some respects current operations undertaken by the government are similar to those adopted at independence, there are some noteworthy changes. Specifically,...

FROM CONSUMER CHOICE PROCESS TO AGGREGATE ANALYSIS: MARKETING INSIGHTS FOR MODELS OF MEAT DEMAND
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Piggott,   Nicholas E.; Wright,   Vic.
The presence or absence of structural change in meat demand is critical to marketing decision making. If change is present, marketing bodies need to know what underlies the change so that the most appropriate response can be identified. Marketing theory is considered as a possible source of more explicit models of demand which may lead to a better understanding of consumption patterns and structural change.

FROM PAPER TO PLASTIC BY 2002: RETAILERS' PERSPECTIVE ON ELECTRONIC BENEFIT TRANSFER SYSTEMS FOR FOOD STAMPS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Quinones,   Ana R.; Kinsey,   Jean D.
The Food Stamp Program (FSP) is working under the deadline of October 1, 2002, to  coordinate a change from the current paper disbursement system of paper food stamps to an electronic transfer system of benefits, known as EBT.  The Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been studying the effectiveness of differing vehicles for benefit dispersal since the inception of the FSP in the 1960's.  The merits of a direct cash payment have been compared to those of the paper system by the USDA and an array of professional groups and research organizations.  The adoption of the electronic benefit transfer (EBT) system engenders a new set of questions about the effects of EBT on benefit recipients, retailers and the administering...

FUTURES AND OPTIONS MARKETS, BASIS, AND THE TIMING OF GRAIN SALES IN MONTANA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mastel,   Mike; Buschena,   David E.
The performance of the grain transportation industry, historically low real grain prices, and decreasing government support for grain prices have renewed interest in local grain prices and shipping costs. An understanding of the relationship between local cash prices and futures prices is an important part of minimizing the price risk associated with growing and merchandising grain. The ability to recognize the seasonal patterns between these prices offers improved profit potential for marketing grain. A Montana producer's decision of when and how to market his/her crop can have a great impact on net profit. Farm managers can use cash sales at or after harvest, forward contracting with a local grain elevator, or hedging with the use of futures and options...

Futures Basis for Cotton:  Impact of Globalization and Structural Change
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: MacDonald,   Stephen; Meyer,   Leslie A.
A model of commodity futures contract basis was developed based on Working’s theory of the price of storage.  An error-correction model was estimated for the basis for the InterContinental Exchange (ICE) #2 cotton contract maturing in December during 2000-08.  The model was also extended to incorporate the impact of changes in market activity that evolved as financial markets and commodity price behavior underwent significant changes after 2005.  The model captured the inversion of basis following the collapse of China’s crop in 2003, but the shock realized during 2008 may have been in part driven by one-time events not included in the model.  Estimates from the error-correction model suggest an extended period for the return of basis to equilibrium,...

In this paper we study futures market depth by examining the price path due to order imbalances thereby allowing us to directly gain insight in the execution costs due to a lack of market depth We propose a two dimensional market depth measure in which the price path due to order imbalances is described by an S-shape function. The proposed market depth measure is applied to transaction specific futures data from Euronext.  Subsequently, we examine CBOT traders' perceptions about the price path due to order imbalances and examine the characteristics that are associated with a particular perception. The proposed market depth measure gives guidelines for improving market depth, and can be used to compare competitive futures contracts. It appears that the...

FUTURES MARKETS AND FIRM DECISIONS UNDER PRICE, PRODUCTION, AND FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alexander,   Vickie J.; Musser,   Wesley N.; Mason,   George.
Incorporation of futures markets into the theory of the firm under uncertainty has received considerable attention in risk management. A theoretical model of optimal firm decisions in cash and futures markets considering price, production, and financial risks is presented. Production and marketing strategies for corn and soybeans in Georgia and Illinois are analyzed to determine the optimal amount of futures contracting which may be a hedge or a speculative position. A partial hedge is optimal for most situations for risk averse producers when the amount hedge is variable. With fixed quantity transactions, speculative and cash positions, but not hedging, tend to be E-V efficient.

FUTURES MARKETS AND LOW INCOME COUNTRY RISK MANAGEMENT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tschirley,   David L.
To many people, futures trading is a little understood and rather suspicious activity.  The word most often associated with this trading is "speculation", the idea being that most of those involved in futures markets are gamblers in a high stakes game seeking profit at the expense of those outside the game.  Any relationship between futures markets and cash markets is generally seen in a negative light - futures trading causing "speculative booms" which distort cash markets and harm many honest traders not directly involved in futures.  The idea that futures trading might be a valuable risk management tool for farmers, processors, and other market participants is generally neither understood nor readily accepted.  This paper is directed toward...

Based on the apprehension of the connotation of brand extension, we select five factors to evaluate the brand extension of agricultural products, including the consumers’ attitude towards original brand of agricultural products, relevance between original products and extensive products, association of agricultural brands, difficulties in making the extensive agricultural products, and cultural compatibility of original brand. We also establish the index system of influencing factors for brand extension of agricultural products, and adopt multi-level measure model to empirically analyze the brands A and B. Result shows that the comprehensive measure values of brands A and B are 77.35 and 78.25, respectively, indicating the extension effect evaluation of...

This paper examines the extent to which garment industry in Swaziland has contributed to the economic empowerment of the Swazi people through creation of new jobs and improvement in their overall welfare. In Swaziland as elsewhere in many African countries, unemployment has been and is still a major constraint to the country’s sluggish economic growth. In response to the unemployment situation in the country, Swaziland Investment Promotion Authority (SIPA) was established in 1977 under the Ministry of Enterprise and Employment with the main aim of attracting, encouraging, promoting, and facilitating both local Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) in the country. Among the efforts to entice foreign investors into the country was the construction of several...

Collective actions groups have many advantages and are sometimes essential, yet they can reinforce or perpetuate inter-and intra-gender inequalities when their functioning is left entirely subject to internal community dynamics and they are not well managed. This is well illustrated by the case of Koussin-Lélé rice scheme in the central Benin. This paper apply inequality indices and frontier production function to data from a sample of male and women rice farmers to analyze the gender inequalities in access to land and the governance of the groups, and their gender-differentiated impacts on farmers' productivity, technical efficiency and income. The results show that women are particularly discriminated against with regards to access to land, with...

Today, development and dissemination of new technologies constitute an important strategy for agricultural intensification, poverty reduction and food security in developing countries. Rice is an important source of farmers’ income and foreign currencies in developing countries. Although women play a vital role in rice production, they have not been adequately involved in technology generation activities until recently. The New Rices for Africa (NERICA) were developed by Africa Rice Center (WARDA) in 1994 and disseminated starting in 1997 in some Sub-Saharan African countries including Benin in collaboration with National Agricultural Partners.

General Equilibrium in Vertical Market Structures: Overselling versus Overbuying
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Just,   Richard E.; Rausser,   Gordon C.
The lens used by the courts and much of the antitrust literature on predatory selling and/or buying is based on partial equilibrium methodology. We demonstrate that such methodology is unreliable for assessments of predatory monopoly or monopsony conduct. In contrast to the typical two-stage dynamic analysis involving a predation period followed by a recoupment period, we advance a general equilibrium analysis that demonstrates the critical role of related industries and markets. Substitutability versus complementarity of both inputs and outputs is critical. With either monopolistic or monopsonistic market power (but not both), neither predatory overselling nor predatory overbuying is profitably sustainable. Two-stage predation/recoupment is profitable...

Generalized Hedge Ratio Estimation with an Unknown Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dorfman,   Jeffrey H.; Sanders,   Dwight R.
Myers and Thompson (1989) noted that the model specification could have a large impact on the hedge ratio estimated. A huge literature exists on estimating hedge ratios, but the literature is lacking a formal treatment of model specification uncertainty. This research accomplishes that task by taking a Bayesian approach to hedge ratio estimation, where specification uncertainty is explicitly modeled.  The methodology is applied to data on hedging of corn and soybeans and on cross-hedging of corn oil using soybean oil futures.  Results show the potential benefits and insights gained from such an approach.

Generic Advertising in Concentrated and Differentiated Agricultural Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Han,   Sungill; Chung,   Chanjin; Suh,   Daeseok.
This study develops an analytical framework to examine the impact of generic advertising on brand advertising with alternative assumptions on demand changes (shift-up and rotation), product differentiation, market concentration, and relationship between commodity and brand advertising programs. The newly developed model allows one to determine the relationship between generic and brand advertising, which has not been clearly shown in previous studies. Analytical results show that when generic advertising leads to an inelastic demand, generic advertising would help brand advertising and could decrease the optimal brand advertising expenditures. However, when generic advertising leads to an elastic demand, it would negatively affect the profitability of...

Generic Advertising Wearout

Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.; Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie); Venkateswaran,   Meenakshi.
Advertising wearout, defined as the declining effectiveness of a commercial or campaign associated with increased exposure, is examined from a generic advertising perspective. Generic advertising campaigns of the type typically undertaken by agricultural commodity groups differ from branded advertising in that the former seek to increase aggregate demand for a product category (e.g., beef, milk, wool) rather than the market share of a particular brand within a category. A major hypothesis addressed in this research is whether generic campaigns are subject to the same generation-satiation-decay cycles found for the more typical brand advertising campaigns. The hypothesis is examined by estimating a time-varying parameter model using data from the first...

GENERIC COMMODITY PROMOTION AND PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Crespi,   John M.
This paper considers whether generic promotion lowers the differentiation among competing brands as claimed in the 1997 Supreme Court case (Wileman et al. v. Glickman).  Commodity promotion is modeled as a multi-stage game where products are vertically differentiated.  Analytical results show that if the benefits of generic advertising from increased demand are outweighed by the costs from lower product differentiation then high-quality producers will not benefit from generic promotion but producers of lower-quality goods may.

GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS AND PROPERTY RIGHTS: PROTECTING VALUE-ADDED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS PARTICIPATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Babcock,   Bruce A.; Clemens,   Roxanne.
Since 1992, the European Union has protected high-quality agricultural products based on geographical origin using designations of geographical indications (GIs). U.S. producers and processors can obtain a type of trademark called a certification mark, which provides similar protections to that of GIs but protects products only within the United States. In the current round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations, the European Union and other countries are seeking to expand protection through GIs. If they achieve the full range of protection they are seeking, many U.S. producers and processors could no longer use many product names currently treated as generic (e.g., feta cheese). This article describes and contrasts three systems of protecting...

Geographical Indications and the Value of Reputation - Empirical Evidence for Cafe de Marcala
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Teuber,   Ramona.
More and more coffee-producing countries establish geographical indications (GIs) for their coffees. GIs are not only considered to be a useful tool for protecting an established reputation against misuse by imitators but also being a useful strategic tool to enter the growing specialty coffee market. Whereas the importance of regional reputation is quite well-documented in the empirical literature on wine, empirical evidence for regional reputational effects on coffee prices is rather scarce. Hence, the objective of the present paper is to shed light on the relevance of regional reputation in the coffee market by representing results for Honduran coffees. A hedonic pricing model based on internet auction data is presented including current quality proxied...

Geographical Indications of Origin as a Tool of Product Differentiation: The Case of Coffee

An increasing interest in geographical indications of origin (GIs) as a tool of product differentiation can be observed in the so-called specialty coffee sector. Similar to the approach for wine in France and Italy, more and more coffee-producing countries try to establish appellations systems for coffee. Whereas some countries and regions such as Colombia or Jamaica have already legally protected GIs for coffee, most coffee GIs are still informal meaning that no legal protection has been obtained so far. But the recent acceptation of the term Café de Colombia as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the EU and the Ethiopian Trademark Initiative document the increasing engagement of coffee-producing countries to achieve an appropriate legal...

One major reason appears to be the yield limiting effects of acidity, which is highly common on Zambian soils. We suggest a diversification of the input subsidy scheme beyond fertilizer to include inputs that reduce acidity and raise the yield response to fertilizer application. We further discuss specific recommendations for diversifying productivity investments to put more emphasis on extension and agronomic research.

Global food markets by 2030: What roles for farm TFP growth and trade policies?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Anderson,   Kym; Strutt,   Anna.
Rapid trade-led economic growth in emerging Asia has been shifting the global economic and industrial centres of gravity away from the north Atlantic, raising the importance of Asia in world trade but also altering the commodity composition of trade by Asia and other regions. What began with Japan in the 1950s and Korea and Taiwan from the late 1960s has spread to the much more populous ASEAN region, China and India. This paper examines how that growth and associated structural changes are altering agricultural markets in particular and thereby food security. It does so retrospectively and by projecting a model of the world economy which compares alternative growth strategies, trade policy scenarios and savings behaviors to 2030. Projected impacts on...

Global Welfare Impacts of U.S. Meat Promotion Activities

Autores: Henneberry,   Shida Rastegari; Mutondo,   Joao E.; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
An equilibrium displacement model of the U.S. meat markets is used to measure the potential impacts of promotion investment, differentiating meats by types and by supply source, taking into account the U.S. participation in global meat markets, and considering imperfect competition in the meat industry. The increase in U.S. producer welfare resulting from a 10 percent increase in promotion ranges from -$1.29 million to $2.60 million for U.S. beef producers and from -$0.96 million to $1.67 million for U.S. pork producers, depending primarily on the advertising elasticity used.

Globalization of the Frozen Potato Industry

Autores: Makki,   Shiva S.; Plummer,   Charles.
This paper examines the globalization of the frozen potato industry, including the expansion of production and processing of potato products in the global market place, and future prospects for the industry. Driven largely by the rising popularity of Western style cuisine, frozen french fries and other frozen potato products have become global commodities generating billions of dollars in revenue worldwide. This study finds that with markets for frozen potato products in the United States and other developed countries hardly expanding, the growth of the frozen potato industry will critically depend on industry’s ability to sustain growth in developing economies.

GM FOOD LABELING POLICIES OF THE U.S. AND ITS TRADING PARTNERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rousu,   Matthew C.; Huffman,   Wallace E.
Much of the international controversy of GM foods is due to labeling policies.  Countries around the world have chosen different policies to label GM foods.  We examine the labeling policies of several areas: the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, Canada, and China.  We discuss each country's GM labeling policy, along with a brief history of how each country arrived at their current policy.  We conclude by discussing how different policies are due to different ethical concerns of GM foods, along with the difference in perceived risks GM foods pose to health, the environment, and trade.

GO AHEAD, COUNT YOUR CHICKENS: CROSS-HEDGING STRATEGIES IN THE BROILER INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Maynard,   Leigh J.; Dillon,   Carl R.; Carter,   Joy.
Some suppliers of broilers without giblets (WOG) offer customers a choice between paying Urner Barry's WOG quote or a formula price based on futures prices.  From a buyer's perspective, the formula price examined in this study is second-degree stochastic dominant.  The formula price allows the seller to set perfect cross-hedges of WOGs with corn and soymeal.  Stochastic dominance and mean variance results suggested that the seller's dominant strategy would shift from the Urner Barry quote to the hedged formula price as risk aversion increased.  Input-based formula pricing may be usefully extended to other industries.

Got (Safe) Milk? Chinese Consumers’ Valuation for Select Food Safety Attributes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ortega,   David L.; Wang,   H. Holly; Wu,   Laping; Bai,   Junfei; Olynk,   Nicole J.
Food safety issues often arise from problems of asymmetric information between consumers and suppliers of food with regards to product-specific attributes or characteristics. Food safety concerns in China are having a drastic impact on consumer behavior, commodity markets, international trade and food security. An additional challenge to the problem of asymmetric information lies in the inherent structure of the governing bodies which oversee food safety and quality. Unlike the United States and other developed countries, China’s food safety is regulated by several government entities with different and sometimes overlapping responsibilities. As a result consumers don’t have a comprehensive food safety and quality system on which to base their economic...

GRADER BIAS IN CATTLE MARKETS? EVIDENCE FROM IOWA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Marcoul,   Philippe; Lawrence,   John D.; Hueth,   Brent.
Participants in U.S. markets for live cattle increasingly rely on federal grading standards to price slaughtered animals. This change is due to the growing prominence of "grid" pricing mechanisms that specify explicit premiums and discounts contingent on an animal's graded quality class. Although these changes alter the way cattle are priced, the technology for sorting animals into quality classes has changed very little: human graders visually inspect each slaughtered carcass and call a "quality" and "yield" grade in a matter of seconds as the carcass passes on a moving trolley. There is anecdotal evidence of systematic bias in these called grades across time and regions within U.S. markets. We examine whether such claims are supported in a sample of...

Grain Contracting Strategies: The Case of Durum Wheat

One of the impacts of higher prices along with greater volatility in futures, basis and spreads is that there is pressure for greater use of cash contracts for grain. There is a wide array of cash contracts with varying terms that pose major strategic alternatives for buyers and the marketing system, particularly as buyers seek to use contracting as an element of risk mitigation. Durum is a crop where many of these issues and challenges are apparent. Durum is more risky than competing crops with greater price, yield and quality risk. And in contrast to competing crops, futures do not exist, cross hedging is poor and forward contracting has been used minimally.

Grain Futures Markets: What Have They Learned?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Santos,   Joseph M.
Taken together, studies that examine how well commodity futures markets perform find that risk premiums are common—and so unbiasedness is not—and markets are not uniformly efficient across commodities or forecast horizons. This large body of research sheds important light on whether and to what extent commodity-futures markets forecast optimally future spot prices and, so, enable commercials to manage price risk by effectively parsing out much of it to speculators, a process that improves the total welfare of an economy with competitive but otherwise-incomplete markets. Nevertheless, that speculators can, in effect, improve welfare in this way has done little to quell popular hostilities toward futures markets. Such hostilities—and, in particular, those...

Grain marketing and National Competition Policy: reform or reaction?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Watson,   Alistair S.
Grain marketing arrangements in Australia have been controversial for many years. Following an account of the historical background to grain marketing, this article concentrates on more recent debates. The most interesting technical economic argument concerns the validity of claims that statutory marketing authorities with export monopoly powers can obtain higher prices. The article also discusses how marketing in Australia has been affected by Commonwealth and State Government policies with respect to microeconomic reform and privatization. Although major changes appear to have been made in grain marketing and its institutions, there are inherent economic problems with the current approach to deregulation.

GRAIN MARKETING POLICY CHANGES AND SPATIAL EFFICIENCY OF MAIZE AND WHEAT MARKETS IN ETHIOPIA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Negassa,   Asfaw; Myers,   Robert J.; Gabre-Madhin,   Eleni Z.
In the context of on-going market reform in developing countries, there is a need for an improvement in the existing methods of spatial market efficiency analysis in order to better inform the debate toward designing and implementing new grain marketing policies, institutions, and infrastructure that facilitate the emergence of a well developed and competitive grain marketing system. The standard parity bounds model (PBM), while it overcomes many weaknesses of the conventional methods of spatial market efficiency analysis, it does not allow for the test of structural changes in spatial market efficiency as a result of policy changes. In this paper, building on the standard PBM, we develop an extended parity bounds model (EPBM). The EPBM is a stochastic...

The basic objective of this report is to discuss the factors considered and the methods that are used by small-grain farmers in the marketing of their products. The figures and discussions which appear in this report are not meant to be an inclusive average of all farmers in North Dakota, but rather a consensus of specific groups of farmers engaged primarily in producing small-grains with limited income from other sources. It is hoped that this report will serve as a useful reference in helping North Dakota small-grain producers identify possible marketing alternatives and strategies available.

Grain Marketing Strategies Within and Across Lifetimes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Tomek,   William G.
To reconcile the discrepancy between the efficient market hypothesis and grain marketing recommendations by advisory services and extension programs, simulated prices from an efficient market are used to compare performance of marketing practices over the long run and in individual 40-year periods. We find that an efficient market can generate diverse price behavior within finite samples, allowing for strategies that are inferior on average to perform relatively better, as frequently as half of the time in an average 40-year lifetime. Lifetime returns of strategies show considerable overlap, suggesting extremely low confidence in recommendations made based on short samples.

As with most sectors of the agriculture economy, the U. S. country grain elevator industry has experienced considerable consolidation and concentration. By the same token, the country elevator's customer base (grain producers and landlords) has also changed rather dramatically as grain production takes place on larger and fewer farms.  The profitability of operating a country elevator is directly related to the volume of grain the country elevator purchases over the course of a marketing year.   Because the basic services offered by country elevators are very similar (purchasing, conditioning and storing grain), country elevators attempt to differentiate themselves from their competition by offering customers a variety of cash grain marketing tools.  These...

Grid Marketing and Beef Carcass Quality: A Discussion of Issues and Trends
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Diersen,   Matthew A.
Beef industry data suggest that improvements in carcass yield and quality grades have stagnated recently.  Empirical analysis, based on USDA market reports, indicates that the share of steer slaughter volume marketed on a grid is less than industry estimates and the growth in market share has stagnated.  Trend analysis of market share suggests that grid pricing has become an important marketing channel, but has not become the dominant marketing channel.  The lack of industry progress toward achieving the carcass quality goals suggests that grid pricing has not captured the level of market share needed to realize the goals envisioned for it as a value based marketing system

Grid Pricing: An Empirical Investigation of Market Signal Clarity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing.
The ability of the grid marketing system for fed cattle to provide an efficient price transmission mechanism is investigated.  Nerlove’s (1958) adaptive expectations approach is adopted to model the relationship between grid premiums (discounts) and the weekly relative supply of carcass quality attributes. Linear regression techniques are used to estimate Nerlove’s supply response function. Granger Causality tests are conducted to investigate the relationship between grid premiums (discounts) and the relative supply of carcass quality attributes.  Regression estimates and the Granger Causality tests provide empirical support for the 2005 National Beef Quality Audit call for clearer market signals.

Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Wittig,   T.
Weekly grid premium and discount price date for fed cattle have been collected over a 3-year period. The grid price data are combined with carcass data (2590 South Dakota slaughter steers) to investigate the variability in the average weekly carcass premium is affected by changes in packer-determined grid premiums and discounts on a weekly basis.  The three-stage recursive model is then estimated using an autoregressive procedure.  The results of the empirical analysis indicated that among all grid premiums and discounts, it is the choice-select discount that plays the dominant role in determining weekly changes in the average weekly carcass premium (discount).

Grower representation and its impact on the governance structure of the Australian Grains Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Farrell,   Terence C.
The Australian wheat industry has changed considerably in structure and governance during the past 15 years. The most important changes have been the deregulation of the domestic market and privitisation of the former Australian Wheat Board into AWB Limited. Through these changes growers have become shareholders in the various companies. Governance of the monopolistic relationship between AWB Limited and AWB International by the Federal Minister of Agriculture and the Grains Council of Australia through the Wheat Export Authority has proved ineffective. Hence a national organisation that represents shareholders is recommended to increase grower governance of the supply chain and marketing of wheat.

Growth and Equity Effects of Agricultural Marketing Efficiency Gains in India
Provedor de dados: 31

Agriculture is the largest source of employment in India, and food accounts for about half of consumer expenditures. Moving agricultural products from the farm to consumers more efficiently could result in large gains to producers, consumers, and India’s overall economy. This analysis uses a computable general equilibrium model with agricultural commodity detail and households disaggregated by rural, urban, and income class to study the potential impacts of reforms that achieve efficiency gains in agricultural marketing and reduce agricultural input subsidies and import tariffs. More efficient agricultural marketing generates economywide gains in output and wages, raises agricultural producer prices, reduces consumer food prices, and increases private...

Verbraucher sind in Einkaufsstätten mit einer Vielzahl von Produkt- und Preisinformationen konfrontiert, da der Lebensmitteleinzelhandel Produkte gleicher Qualität in einer Vielzahl von Preis-Mengen-Kombinationen anbietet. Angesichts ihrer Menge ist für die Verbraucher eine vollständige Berücksichtigung aller Informationen während der Kaufentscheidung so gut wie unmöglich. Verbraucher nutzen daher Entscheidungshilfen (Heuristiken), um eine Kaufentscheidung zu treffen *1. Eine dieser Heuristiken ist die Regel „Großpackungen sind günstiger“, d.h. wenn Verbraucher diese Heuristik nutzen, unterstellen sie eine inverse Beziehung zwischen Grundpreis und Verpackungsgröße.

Harvest-Time Protein Shocks and Price Adjustments in U.S. Wheat Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goodwin,   Barry K.; Smith,   Vincent H.
Dynamic relationships between three classes of wheat are investigated using threshold VAR models incorporating the effects of protein availability.  Changes in the stock of protein are found to generate significant impulse responses in the price of hard red spring wheat and hard red winter wheat but not soft red wheat.  These impulse responses to identical changes in protein stocks are larger when the absolute deviation of protein stocks from normal levels are large.  Shocks to the prices of individual classes of wheat result in complex impulse responses in the prices of the other wheats.  Notably, however, a shock to the price of hard red winter weak appears to result in little or no impulse response in the price of hard spring wheat, though the opposite...

Has Australia fallen behind the strategic alliance contracting trend in the global food industry? If so, is government assistance warranted?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Taylor,   Philip J.
Since the 1970s, there has been a broad shift from arm‘s length to long-term strategic alliance procurement practices across nations and industries. This has happened for sound commercial reasons. Peculiarities of agricultural production have slowed this shift in many food industry sectors, but it is now proceeding apace – driven primarily by rapidly globalising supermarket chains. In most Australian agri-food sectors, few firms have the scale or level of sophistication that would make them attractive strategic alliance partners either for international food retailers or for their category managers. The reasons for this include a combination of past government failures (inappropriate policies) and failures or inefficiencies in a range of information...

Has Imported Rice Crowded-out Domestic Rice Production in Ghana? What has Been the Role of Policy?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Asuming-Brempong,   Samuel; Osei-Asare,   Yaw Bonsu.
Commercial rice imports have accounted for approximately 61%, food aid in rice accounted for about 2%, and domestic rice accounted for some 37% per annum of rice consumption in Ghana over the four years between 2000 and 2003. Compared to the 1990s, these figures show a gradual decline in the share of local rice production in the total quantities of rice consumed in the country. On the other hand, the proportion of food aid in rice consumed has remained relatively constant over the period, while the proportion of commercial imports has increased steadily. Using the Engel-Granger residual-based co-integration test, a market integration analysis was explored for imported rice and domestic rice which compared a central market for imported rice and five key...

Has Kenyan Farmers’ Access to Markets and Services Improved? Panel  Survey Evidence, 1997-2007
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chamberlin,   Jordan; Jayne,   Thomas S.
This report uses panel data on 1,267 smallholder households to monitor changes in their access to markets and services. We find that Kenyan smallholders’ proximity to infrastructure, markets, and services has improved markedly over the last decade. These improvements, however, have not been uniformly distributed over either time or space. Farmers in high-potential areas of the country continue to enjoy closer proximity to most kinds of markets and services compared to low-potential areas, but the greatest relative improvements over the 1997-2007 period have been in areas of medium and low potential. We also distinguish between public and private investments in examining changes in smallholders’ access to markets. Changes deriving from public investments...

Has the Performance of the Hog Options Market Changed?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Urcola,   Hernan A.; Irwin,   Scott H.
The hog option contract has served as a risk management tool for the pork industry for more than 20 years. However, very limited information exists about how this market behaves and how it was affected by the contract redesign of 1996. This paper evaluates the efficiency of hog options markets comparing its pricing function during the live hog contract period to the lean hog contract period.  Trading returns are computed and adjusted for risk using the Sharpe ratio and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. When the whole sample period is analyzed, results indicate that no profits can be made by taking either side of the hog options markets. However, analyzing the live and the lean hog contracts separately, some evidence suggest that opportunities for...

Health Claims Regulation and Welfare
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huang,   Rui; Bonanno,   Alessandro.
Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, 20 December 2006, requires functional foods manufacturers operating in Europe to provide evidence that the health claims reported on the packaging are truthful.  However, most applications reviewed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have been rejected, leaving food manufacturers with the option of either selling products deprived of their claims or discontinuing their production.  This paper analyzes changes in welfare (both producers’ and consumers’) that would occur if the implementation of Reg. (EC) No 1924/2006 resulted in a large-scale health-claim de-labeling of functional food products.  To that end, we use one year (2007) of monthly scanner data of sales of conventional and functional yogurt in the Italian...

Consumer lifestyle and health are relevant factors to understanding consumption preferences. The number of lifestyle diseases has dramatically increased worldwide. The main cause for these diseases is the change in lifestyle; including a lack of attention to physical activity and good nutrition. Health and lifestyle are important factors by purchase decision process. In accordance with these, I examine the consumer behaviour toward soft drinks with special regards to healthy lifestyle and the state of health. My examinations can be considered mainly as a qualitative research among German students, which can serve as a basis for further analyses and research, however, the conclusions and experience gained from it are worthy of consideration.

HEDGING CARCASS BEEF TO REDUCE THE SHORT-TERM PRICE RISK OF MEAT PACKERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bailey,   DeeVon; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
Hedging in the live cattle futures market has largely been viewed as a method of reducing producer's price over a rather lengthy production period (three to six months).  Meat packers and processors also face price risk.  However, packers' and processors' price risk lies on the upside (i.e., risk is due to price increases) and is also relatively short-term (usually a few days).  The possibility of reducing packers' and processors' price risk through long-hedging on the live cattle contract for a short period of time (one week) was investigated.  The results suggest some potential benefits to meat packers form following a routine hedging strategy.

Hedging Cash Flows from Commodity Processing

Autores: Dahlgran,   Roger A.
Agribusinesses make long-term plant-investment decisions based on discounted cash flow.  It is therefore incongruous for an agribusiness firm to use cash flow as a plant-investment criterion and then to completely discard cash flow in favor of batch profits as an operating objective.  This paper assumes that cash flow and its stability is important to commodity processors and examines methods for hedging cash flows under continuous processing.  Its objectives are (a) to determine how standard hedging models should be modified to hedge cash flows, (b) to outline the differences between cash flow hedging and profit hedging, and (c) to determine the effectiveness of hedging in reducing cash flow variability.  A cash flow hedging methodology is developed....

HEDGING CROP RISK WITH YIELD INSURANCE FUTURES AND OPTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mahul,   Olivier; Vermersch,   Dominique.
This paper analyses the optimal hedging decisions for risk-averse producers facing crop risk, assuming crop yield insurance futures and options can be used. The first-best optimal hedge requires a futures position or an option position proportionate to the individual beta depending on whether the financial markets are perceived unbiased or biased. Using yield data for a sample of wheat producers in France, the producers' hedge ratios are derived. These new hedging instruments are more effective to reduce farm yield variability than the individual yield contracts, except if the individual yield guarantee is at least equal to the individual average yield.

Hedging Effectiveness Around U.S. Department of Agriculture Crop Reports
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McKenzie,   Andrew M.; Singh,   Navinderpal.
It is well documented that ‘‘unanticipated’’ information contained in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) crop reports induces large price reactions in corn and soybean markets. Thus, a natural question that arises from this literature is: To what extent are futures hedges able to remove or reduce increased price risk around report release dates?  This paper addresses this question by simulating daily futures returns, daily cash returns, and daily hedged returns around report release dates for two storable commodities (corn and soybeans) in two market settings (North Central Illinois and Memphis, Tennessee). Various risk measures, including ‘‘Value at Risk,’’ are used to determine hedging effectiveness, and ‘‘Analysis of Variance’’ is used to...

HEDGING FEEDER STEERS AND HEIFERS IN THE CASH-SETTLED FEEDER CATTLE FUTURES MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shroeder,   Ted C.; Mintert,   James R.
Recent changes in the feeder cattle futures contract specifications are expected to reduce hedging risk and may result in changes in optimal hedging levels. This study provides an estimate of feeder cattle hedge ratios associated with the new cash-settled feeder cattle futures contract and compares the levels of hedging risk present under the cash settled contract with the physical delivery contract. Hedging risks are compared for several weights of feeder steers and heifers and are analyzed across four market locations. Results indicate that hedging risk is generally, though not always, lower with cash settlement than under the physical delivery contract specifications.

Foreign exchange hedging ratios are simultaneously estimated alongside freight and commodity ratios in a time-varying portfolio framework.  Foreign exchange futures are found to be by far the most important derivative instrument to be employed in order to reduce uncertainty for traders. Our results lend support to the decision by LIFFE to cease trading the BIFFEX freight futures contract because of its low levels of trading activity, which likely resulted from its apparent unattractiveness as a hedging instrument.

HEDGING PRICE RISK IN THE PRESENCE OF CROP YIELD AND REVENUE INSURANCE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mahul,   Olivier.
The demand for hedging against price uncertainty in the presence of crop yield and revenue insurance contracts is examined for French wheat farms. The rationale for the use of options in addition to futures is first highlighted through the characterization of the first-best hedging strategy in the expected utility framework. It is then illustrated using numerical simulations. The presence of options is shown to allow the insured producer to adopt a more speculative position on the futures market. Futures are shown to be performing, in terms of willingness to receive. Options are weakly performing when futures markets are unbiased, while they are more performing when futures markets are biased.

This research examines the potential basis behavior and hedging effectiveness for the Minneapolis Grain Exchange's (MGE) cash settled corn contract. MGE futures cash settle to the National Corn Index (NCI) calculated by Data Transmission Network (DTN). Focusing on seven regions in Illinois, the data suggest that NCI Futures offer potential advantages over the existing Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn futures. In particular, nearby basis variability could be reduced by nearly one-half from 8.8 cents per bushel to 4.5 cents per bushel, and hedging effectiveness may increase from an average of 80% for the CBOT to 93% for the NCI.

Live cattle futures markets do not offer much opportunity for effective hedging of wholesale beef cuts.  If a Choice-to-Select price spread futures contract were introduced this would enhance hedging effectiveness although likely not enough to encourage cross hedging.  If a Choice boxed beef futures contract were introduced, hedging Choice wholesale beef cuts would be less risky and the addition of a Choice-to-Select price spread would enhance hedging effectiveness especially for Select wholesale beef cuts.

Autores: Frechette,   Darren L.
The optimal hedging portfolio is shown to include both futures and options under a variety of circumstances when the marginal cost of hedging is non-zero.  Futures and options are treated as substitute goods, and properties of the resulting hedging demand system are explained. The overall optimal hedge ratio is shown to increase when the marginal cost of trading options is reduced. The overall optimal hedge ratio is shown to decrease when the marginal cost of trading futures is decreased. The implication is that hedging demand can be stimulated by reducing the perceived cost of trading options, by educating hedgers about options and by initiating programs like the Dairy Options Pilot Program. The demand systems approach is  applied to estimate optimal...

HEDGING WITH FUTURES AND OPTIONS UNDER A TRUNCATED CASH PRICE DISTRIBUTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hanson,   Steven D.; Myers,   Robert J.; Hilker,   James H.
Many agricultural producers face cash price distributions that are effectively truncated at a lower limit through participation in farm programs designed to support farm prices and incomes. For example, the 1996 Federal Agricultural Improvement Act (FAIR) makes many producers eligible to obtain marketing loans which truncate their cash price realization at the loan rate, while allowing market prices to freely equilibrate supply and demand. This paper studies the effects of truncated cash price distributions on the optimal use of futures and options. The results show that truncation in the cash price distribution facing an individual producer provides incentives to trade options as well as futures. We derive optimal futures and options trading rules under...

Thoroughbred broodmares are the foundation of a successful racing operation. This study estimated the impact of breeding, racing, genetic, and market characteristics on broodmare auction prices. Data represent 298 broodmares in foal that were sold in Keeneland's 2005 sale. Prices were most responsive to the sire's stud fee and the broodmare's age, with pronounced day-of-sale effects. Overall valuation structure appeared similar to Neibergs' results using the 1996 data. Out-of-sample forecasts were far superior to naive forecasts, but were not accurate enough to use in isolation from other decision aids such as visual inspection of the horse.

Autores: Wilson,   William W.
An important characteristic in the malting barley market is the multitude of quality variables which affect the value of particular samples.  The purpose of this study was to estimate implicit (or hedonic) prices for selected quality factors.  An econometric model was used to analyze factors affecting the variability in malting barley prices, and to estimate implicit prices for plumpness and protein.  The results indicate that a change may be evolving in the price determination process for malting barley.  In particular, the feed grains sector has had increasingly less effect on malting barley prices in recent years.

Tobacco is notorious for being one of the most difficult commodities to grade.  Here, we determine the implicit prices of various tobacco characteristics using a hedonic price model.  The factors affecting the price received for burley tobacco include reputation of the producer, month of auction and lot size in addition to variables representing quality characteristics.  Many of these characteristics can be controlled by producers through production, harvesting, and curing practices.  The implicit prices should help farmers evaluate whether they should adopt processes to increase quality.  In spite of the large number of factors included, only about half of the price variation across lots could be explained.  Thus, the difficulty of grading tobacco is...

Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Jeffrey,   Scott R.
This study investigates the use of hedonic pricing to identify the value of relevant production and type traits for dairy bulls in Alberta. A hedonic pricing model is estimated that models semen price as a function of individual production and longevity characteristics for a sample of Holstein bulls. This model corrects for sources of statistical bias in the data (i.e., censored data and endogenous supply problems). The results suggest that the most important characteristics in valuing dairy bulls are milk volume, protein and fat content, general conformation, body capacity, the popularity of the bull, and the probability that the bull's semen may be in short supply. This methodology may be used to establish a method of forecasting semen prices for newly...

We use the strong government role in promoting the establishment of cooperatives to justify the use of propensity score matching in order to compare households that are cooperative members to similar households in comparable areas without cooperatives. The analysis reveals that while cooperatives obtain higher prices for their members, they are not associated with a significant increase in the overall share of cereal production sold commercially by their members. However, these average results hide considerable heterogeneity in the impact across households. In particular, we find smaller farmers tend reduce...

Autores: Bloomer,   Tom.
The objectives of this report are to describe the structure of the slaughter hog marketing system in Michigan, and to investigate certain aspects of the market's performance.  Four aspects of market performance are discussed:  1)  the problem of accurate communication of supply and demand to producers; 2)  the problem of communicating carcass quality characteristics to producers in a way that promotes more effective production management; 3)  the ability of the market system to serve the varied production requirements of the different kinds of packers present in the state; and 4)  the ability of the system to promote an accurate refection of value to the buyer in the price paid to the producer.  This report also discusses ten methods of slaughter hog...

Hog Options: Contract Redesign and Market Efficiency
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Urcola,   Hernan A.; Irwin,   Scott H.
This article tests the efficiency of the hog options market and assesses the impact of the 1996 contract redesign on efficiency. We find that the hog options market is efficient, but some options yielded excess returns during the live hogs period but not during the lean hogs period. Our findings indicate that the hog options market is efficient and is consistent with the new contract improving the efficiency of the market. However, other market conditions such as lower transaction costs during the lean hogs period can also contribute to reduce expected option returns during the latter period.

Horticulture Farmers and Domestic Supermarkets in Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Reardon,   Thomas; Odera,   Michael M.; Neven,   David.
Are the rural poor excluded from the market opportunities created by the rise of supermarkets in developing countries? We analyzed the farm-level impact of supermarket growth in Kenya's produce sub-sector which is dominated by smallholder producers. Two main findings emerged. First, the existence of a threshold capital vector at the entrance of the supermarket channel does hinder the entry of small, rainfed farms. Instead, the main supply response has come from a new group of medium-sized, fast-growing farms managed by well-educated farmers. Second, the heavy reliance on and higher wages paid to hired farm workers on supermarket-channel farms help to alleviate poverty for rural households with little land.

Household Food Security in a Subsistence Economy: Application of Translog Cost Function to Cross-sectional data in Vihiga District, Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31

Vihiga, one of the poorest and densely populated districts in Kenya is perpetually food deficit (GOK, 2005). While food demand continued to rise, production fell behind both targeted production and district demand. To make matters worse food deficit situation worsened over the last decade. Rising population and competition for resources have curtailed efforts to improve household food production in the district. Unfavorable poverty indicators in the district only make matters worse. About 57.6 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of households live below absolute poverty line while 57 percent of the population and households live below food poverty line (GOK, 2005). Poor welfare indicators for Vihiga district underscore the importance and...

Household Grocery Shopping Destination Allocation: Have Local Stores Caught on with the Rise of Local Foods?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhou,   Guzhen; Hu,   Wuyang; Batte,   Marvin T.; Woods,   Timothy A.; Ernst,   Stanley C.
Locavorism and the Local Food Movement have captured attention of consumers, production suppliers and academic researchers.  Local food advocates emphasize the benefits of locally grown food from fresher to better tastes and to more energy efficient due to shorter transportation distance.  However, limited studies have been done about household grocery purchase allocations in the awakening of local food, especially for individuals who stick with the “locavore” principle.  Through a recent survey conducted in Ohio, this study found that mainstream food suppliers (national grocery chains or retailers) still claim most market shares, however, locally owned food stores and farmers’ markets are gaining popularity.  The study also found that education attainment...

Household-Level Livestock Marketing Behavior Among Northern Kenyan and Southern Ethiopian Pastoralists
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bellemare,   Marc F.; Barrett,   Christopher B.; Osterloh,   Sharon M.
Pastoralists in East Africa's arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) regularly confront climatic shocks triggering massive herd die-offs and loss of scarce wealth. On the surface, it appears puzzling that pastoralists do not make extensive use of livestock markets to offload animals when climatic shocks temporarily reduce the carrying capacity of local rangelands, and then use markets to restock their herds when local conditions recover. In recent years, donors and policy makers have begun to hypothesize that investments in livestock marketing systems might quickly pay for themselves through reduced demand for relief aid,by increasing pastoralist marketing responsiveness to temporal variation in range conditions.

How are Vegetables Marketed into Lusaka? The Structure of Lusaka’s Fresh Produce Marketing System and Implications for Investment Priorities.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hichaambwa,   Munguzwe; Tschirley,   David L.
Key findings regarding the structure of trade for tomato, rape, and onion into Lusaka are (a) regional trade is an important part of Zambia’s fresh produce  system, (b) supply chains for tomato, rape, and onion are short, (c) the role of the modern market system is very small, and (d) the role of urban agriculture in supplying Lusaka markets for these vegetables is also small, though it is meaningful in the case of rape. Main policy implications from this and related work are that (a) investments and policies to promote regional trade are relevant for the horticultural sector, not just food staples, (b) the traditional market system needs improved hard infrastructure linked to more collaborative  public/private management models and improved coordination...

How do consumers use signals to assess quality?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gergaud,   Olivier; Livat,   Florine.
This article analyzes the way some 6,000 European wine consumers, both connoisseurs and non-connoisseurs, use a set of available signals (price, umbrella branding, goodwill, past consumption) to assess the quality of Bordeaux wines where price is the main source of information on quality. Connoisseurs use this signal less intensively than on connoisseurs. Price represents a substitute for umbrella branding where consumers are not aware of who is beneath this umbrella, and where this signal is thus of no help to them. This could explain why such wines tend nowadays to lose market share in favor of branded wines that are easier to evaluate.

How do GM / non GM coexistence regulations affect markets and welfare?

Autores: Desquilbet,   Marion; Poret,   Sylvaine.
This paper presents a theoretical economic model assessing the effect of the level of mandatory genetically modified (GM) / non-GM coexistence regulations on market and welfare outcome. We assume vertical differentiation of GM and non-GM goods on the consumer side. Producers are heterogeneous in their cost savings from GMO adoption. Producers of non-GM crops face a probability of having their harvest downgraded if gene flow from GM fields makes its GMO content above the labeling threshold. The government may impose to GMO producers mandatory ex ante isolation distances from non-GM fields in order to decrease the probability of non-GM harvest downgrading. It may also introduce an ex post compensation to non-GMO farmers for profit losses due to harvest...

How Do Taxes Affect Food Markets?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Canning,   Patrick N.; Tsigas,   Marinos E.
Several food market indicators would change if a flat income tax system -- that is, a system without exemptions, deductions, credits, and deferrals-replaced the current system.  Our findings support the widely held view that even though a flat income tax system would increase national income, gains for consumers would be only modest.  Nor would economic growth be universal.  A federal flat tax structure would lead to smaller farm industries with lower than average growth rates, larger food industries with higher than average growth rates, slightly lower food production costs and consumer food prices, reduced net farm exports, and reduced net food imports.  If states were to enact similar reforms, consumer food prices would drop 2.2 percent overall and over...

How Does Advertising Affect Market Performance? The Case of Generic Advertising
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hamilton,   Stephen F.; Richards,   Timothy J.; Stiegert,   Kyle W.
The effect of advertising on market performance has been a long-standing debate. Advertising that increases the dispersion of consumers’ valuations for advertised goods raises the market power of firms, while advertising that decreases the dispersion of consumers’ valuations leads to narrower price-cost margins and superior performance in markets for advertised goods. Numerous challenges confound the empirical identification of advertising effects on market performance. This paper proposes a simple method that relies on the revealed preferences of firms participating in generic advertising programs. Generic advertising programs provide a unique window through which to observe advertising effects on market performance, because changes in the dispersion of...

How Has The Domestic Wheat Market Changed Since Deregulation?

Autores: Wait,   Marcus J.; Ahmadi-Esfahani,   Fredoun Z.
This article evaluates the impact of deregulation on wheat growers. marketers and buyers. An analysis of market structure focuses on the market prior to deregulation, the stimulus for change and the ways in which parts of the wheat marketing chain have developed since deregulation. The change in AWB pool deductions for storage, handling and transportation charges, and the consequent change in seasonal marketing margins since deregulation are explored. The main finding of this preliminary study is that deregulation has been associated with reductions in freight and handling charges as well as seasonal marketing margins. Factors other than deregulation appear to have contributed to the reduction in the marketing margin and would bear further investigation.

HOW LARGE ARE NON-BUDGET-CONSTRAINT EFFECTS OF PRICES ON DEMAND?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Heffetz,   Ori; Shayo,   Moses.
Elementary consumer theory assumes that prices affect demand only because they affect the budget constraint (BC). By contrast, several models suggest that prices can affect demand through other channels (e.g. because they signal quality). This alternative conjecture is consistent with evidence from marketing studies. However, neither theory nor evidence is informative regarding the magnitude of non-BC effects. The key econometric challenge arises from the fact that a change in prices typically also changes the BC. This paper uses a lab and a field experiment to disentangle BC from non-BC effects of prices on demand. In our lab experiment we find that, consistent with marketing evidence, prices positively affect stated willingness to pay. However, when...

HOW LARGE IS THE COMPETITIVE EDGE THAT U.S.-BASED FUTURES PROVIDE TO U.S. FARMERS?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lence,   Sergio H.
The present study advocates a simulation approach to analyze quantitatively the impact of having locally-based markets for price derivatives.  A major result is that market outcomes do not appear to be sensitive to most of the underlying parameters of the model other than demand elasticity and transportation costs.  For the case of inelastic demand, introduction of a futures market in a country provides domestic producers with a competitive edge if transportation costs.  The most important insight of the present analysis is that, under realistic scenarios it need not be the case that local producers will gain a competitive edge over foreign producers by introducing a futures market based on the local spot prices.

This Discussion Paper focuses on strategic adjustments made by leading international dairy firms in response to world market developments in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Firms whose strategies were analyzed include Fonterra, Nestle, selected other Western European companies (including the Kerry Group and Parmalat), Kraft Foods, Dairy Farmers of America, and Land O'Lakes. In part, the paper describes dairy industry success stories that have implications for a broader group of dairy companies. It also shows how even successful dairy firms have pursued strategies that expose the companies to significant risks. Strategic alliances entered into by the companies received emphasis in the study.

How Market Efficiency and the Theory of Storage Link Corn and Ethanol Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mallory,   Mindy L.; Hayes,   Dermot J.; Irwin,   Scott H.
In this article we use the theories of market efficiency and supply of storage to develop a conceptual link between the corn and ethanol markets and explore statistical evidence for the link. We propose that a long-run no-profit condition is established in distant futures markets for ethanol, corn, and natural gas and then use the theory of storage to define an inter-temporal equilibrium among these prices. The relationship shows that under certain conditions, future price expectations will influence current spot prices and that a short-term relationship between input and output prices will exist. This short-term relationship will contain fixed costs. We demonstrate validity of the theory using a structural price model and then by means of time-series...

Nontraditional stores, including mass merchandisers, supercenters, club warehouse stores, and dollar stores, have increased their food offerings over the past 15 years and often promote themselves as lower priced alternatives to traditional supermarkets. How much lower are food prices at these stores? In order to better understand nontraditional stores’ impact on the cost of food, ERS analysts evaluate food price differences between nontraditional and traditional stores at the national and market level using 2004-06 Nielsen Homescan data. Findings show that nontraditional retailers offer lower prices than traditional stores even after controlling for brand and package size. Comparisons of identical items, at the Universal Product Code (UPC) level, show an...

HOW MUCH OF COMMODITY PRICE BEHAVIOR CAN A RATIONAL EXPECTATIONS STORAGE MODEL EXPLAIN?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Tomek,   William G.
A rational expectations competitive storage model is applied to the U.S. corn market to assess the aptness of this framework in explaining monthly price behavior in an actual commodity market.  Relative to previous models, extensive realism is added to the model in terms of how production activities and storage costs are specified.  By modeling convenience yield, "backwardation" in prices between crop years does not depend on the unrealistic assumption of zero ending stocks.  Our model produces cash prices that are distributed with positive skewness and kurtosis, and mean and variance that increase over the storage season, consistent with the persistence and the occasional spikes observed in commodity prices.  Futures prices are generated as conditional...

We investigate the Philippine government's price stabilization policy for rice.  Seemingly Unrelated Regressions are used to examine the effectiveness of the program at regional and national levels over a 21-year period (January 1983 to December 2003). Results of the regional analysis indicate some NFA-induced spatial and temporal differences in terms of producer prices.  The NFA successfully increased producer prices in 5 of 13 regions through stock accumulation and paddy rice purchase at floor prices. NFA stock releases do not correlate strongly with retail prices at the national level, although results from the regional model indicate that NFA stock releases reduced retail prices in five regions, leading to perceptible spatial and temporal differences...

In the context of the wine industry, we investigate producers'’ choice between geographic indications and brand advertising to convey information to consumers. Producers also decide whether or not to select an effort level for improving the quality of their products. We show that if this effort is selected, a producer will prefer to rely on brand advertising for promoting its products and set up its own reputation. Despite the sharing of the promotion cost, a geographic indication does not sufficiently reward the effort for improving quality. Finally, the selection of both instruments by producers is examined.

Autores: Smela,   Stephen J.
This paper looks at performance at the individual restaurant level from the perspective of management, customers and employees. The results are based on surveys of each of these three groups conducted between June and September 2001 at a sit-down, casual restaurant chain. There are several key findings. Service-related employee training and giving staff a say in making decisions improves customer satisfaction and loyalty. How employees perceive the service climate in their restaurant is a better predictor of positive customer perceptions than managers' appraisal. Employees who score higher in terms of being conscientious and extroverted on a personality test perform better. The kind of service climate created by management affects employee performance and...

Hungary’s Biofuel Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hingyi,   Hajnalka; Kurthy,   Gyongyi; Radoczne Kocsis,   Terez.
In 2005 the Hungarian Exise Tax Act was amended regarding the sale of biofuels. The amendment stipulated that from July 1, 2007 fuels with a 4.4 volume percentage bioethanol content will be sold in Hungary. It equally stipulated that from January 1, 2008 fuels with a 4.4 volume percentage biodiesel content will also be sold. Hungary’s stated 2010 biofuel objective is 5.75%, which is calculated in relation to energy content. Blending requirements for this transition are 144 thousand tonnes of bioethanol (or 106 thousand tonnes of ETBE, due to its higher energy content) and 183 thousand tonnes of biodiesel. Hungary’s planned biofuel production capacities are approximately 3 million tonnes of bioethanol and 400 thousand tonnes of biodiesel, which seems...

The objective of this paper is to provide an alternative model which can be used to test for oligopsony market power applying plant-level data. For this purpose, we took into account empirical studies and specific developments in the Hungarian dairy industry and specified a model that provides useful benchmarks for an econometric test of market power. The results of the econometric analysis show that the effects from policy changes in Hungary, as well as from plant specific issues are highly statistically significant, and produce evidence suggesting the exercise of oligopsony market power in the Hungarian dairy industry.

Identifying Processors' Procurement Preferences: Implications for Developing a Forward Contracting Scheme in China's Beef Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gong,   Wen; Parton,   Kevin A.; Zhou,   Zhang-Yue; Cox,   Rodney J.
Beef processors' procurement channel selection is a critical element of a successful supply chain in addressing challenges of food safety from consumers. However, preference-based studies of cattle procurement methods in China are scarce. In this study, the conjoint modelling approach is used to determine processors' perceptions of various procurement channels. Initial results based on a survey of 43 beef processors suggest that the beef processing industry is still at the early stage of development and processors place most value on regular suppliers and good trust. Findings will be used in developing policies that encourage forward contracting between producers and processors.

IDENTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF GENERIC ADVERTISING ON THE HOUSEHOLD DEMAND FOR FLUID MILK AND CHEESE:  A TWO-STEP PANEL DATA APPROACH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schmit,   Todd M.; Dong,   Diansheng; Chung,   Chanjin; Kaiser,   Harry M.; Gould,   Brian W.
A two-step model with sample selection is applied to panel data of U.S. households to estimate at-home demand for fluid milk and cheese, incorporating advertising expenditures.  The model consistently accounts for sample-selection bias, unobserved household heterogeneity, and temporal correlation.  Generic advertising programs for fluid milk and cheese were effective at increasing conditional purchase quantities, with very little effect on the probability of purchase.  In contrast to aggregate studies, the long-run generic advertising elasticities for cheese were larger than for those of fluid milk.  Advertising response varied considerably across sub-product classes, while branded advertising expenditures were largely insignificant.

Identifying the Extensive and Intensive Effects of Generic Advertising on the Household Demand for Fluid Milk and Cheese
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schmit,   Todd M.; Chung,   Chanjin; Dong,   Diansheng; Kaiser,   Harry M.; Gould,   Brian W.
A two-step sample selection model is used to estimate household demand equations for fluid milk and cheese products incorporating national generic advertising. This approach allows us to disentangle the incidence of the advertising effect on the probability of purchase and changes in the level of consumption. Generic advertising for fluid milk had a predominantly intensive effect on athome fluid milk demand, implying that advertising was relatively more effective at increasing the consumption of current consumers. Conversely, the at-home cheese demand response to generic cheese advertising was almost exclusively extensive, with virtually the entire increase in quantity demanded due to an increase in the household’s probability of purchase.

IMPACT ANALYSIS OF FOOD POLICY RESPONSE ON HOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITY: THE CASE OF SOUTH AFRICA’S MAIZE SUBSECTOR
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vermeulen,   Hester; Ndibongo Traub,   Lulama; Meyer,   Ferdinand H.
This study quantifies the possible income and nutritional impact of the recent commitment by the South African Department of Agriculture to increase budgetary spending on agricultural development. Three levels of models are utilized.  The first, a large-scale partial equilibrium model, generated an outlook for maize grain under two possible future scenarios; the first is the baseline scenario under which it is assumed no additional government investment in the agricultural sector takes place, the second allows for the impact of an investment within the maize subsector large enough to increase local maize production by 15% above the baseline.  The second model, a rational distributed lag model, links the grain sector to the maize meal down-stream market....

IMPACT OF ALTERNATIVE GRID PRICING STRUCTURES ON CATTLE MARKETING DECISIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Greer,   Heather C.; Trapp,   James N.
Quality grade, yield grade, and other feedlot performance factors explain much of the variation in profit under grid pricing. Thus, feedlot owners can change profits by adjusting time on feed to influence these performance factors. This research uses growth models, logistic regression, and an optimization process to determine how the optimal number of days on feed changes under different grid pricing structures. It was found that large quality or small yield discounts increases the optimal number of days on feed and small quality or large yield discounts result in fewer days on feed. Losses associated with a grid having large quality discounts are minimized as cattle fed for more days are able to obtain Choice premiums despite the discounts for more Yield...

Impact of Beef Quality on Market Signals Transmitted by Grid Pricing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Johnson,   Heather C.; Ward,   Clement E.
Value-based marketing is shaping cattle production; however, market signals differ dramatically depending on carcass quality.  This study applies a two-stage coefficients of separate determination procedure to four regional fed cattle datasets sorted by grid value and by carcass quality attributes.  Weight is the strongest signal sent when higher valued cattle and better quality cattle are sold on a grid.  Quality characteristics send stronger signals when lower valued cattle and poorer quality cattle are sold on a grid.  Producers of lower quality cattle can potentially gain $52 to $149 per head by improving quality and $113 to $150 per head by adding weight.

This paper examines the impact of biofuel expansion on grain utilization and distribution at the state and cropping district level as most of grain producers and handlers are directly influenced by the local changes. We conducted a survey to understand the utilization and flows of corn, ethanol and its co-products, such as dried distillers grains (DDG) in Iowa. Results suggest that the rapidly expanding ethanol industry has a significant impact on corn utilization in Iowa. Comparing to the earlier survey results, ethanol plants drew a considerable amount of corn away from traditional destination markets, such as feeders or export markets. A major portion of corn supplies came from in-state sources, while the sales of Iowa ethanol and DDG were dominated by...

IMPACT OF CASH SETTLEMENT ON FEEDER CATTLE BASIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kenyon,   David E.; Bainbridge,   Bruce; Ernst,   Robin.
The feeder cattle futures contract specifications were changed in 1986 from physical delivery to cash settlement. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange expected this change to reduce basis variability and improve the ability of hedgers to predict basis. This study analyzes the basis for individual lots of feeder cattle before and after cash settlement. Basis equations were estimated by breed, sex, weight, grade, and season. These equations were used to predict basis. The results indicate basis variability was not reduced and hedger ability to forecast basis, in general, was not improved significantly under cash settlement compared to physical delivery.

Florida’s citrus industry has a long history of using generic advertising as a primary instrument for shifting demand for various forms of citrus juices. Consumption behavior and consumer responses to these advertising are expected to substantially differ with each type of citrus juice These juices are classified into several groups defined as: frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ); refrigerated ready to-  service not form concentrate (NFC); and refrigerated ready-to-service from concentrated  orange juice (RECON). RECON comes from the fact that bulk concentrate has to be  reconstituted into the ready-to-service form. While these juices may be substitutable, they  fundamentally differ in both form and perception about the product attributes. Furthermore,...

Autores: Kaiser,   Harry M.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the impacts of generic milk and cheese advertising on dairy markets. The results indicated that generic milk and cheese advertising by dairy farmers and fluid milk processors had major market impacts for the dairy industry. The main conclusion of the study is that farmers and processors are receiving a high return on their investment in generic dairy advertising. The impacts of advertising tend to be more profound in increasing price than quantity, which is due to the inelastic nature of demand for milk and cheese. These estimated impacts need to be compared with the other options producers and processors have for marketing their product (e.g., non-advertising promotion, research, new product development, etc.) in...

Impact of Mandatory Price Reporting on Fed Cattle Market Integration
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pendell,   Dustin L.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
Geographic fed cattle markets are important because cattle are bulky and perishable, and production and consumption areas are separated. These characteristics make cattle transportation costly and can contribute to segmented markets. This study uses USDA-AMS reported fed cattle market price data from five U.S. regional fed cattle markets to investigate the effects of mandatory price reporting on spatial market integration. Results indicate these markets have been, and remain, highly cointegrated after implementation of mandatory price reporting (MPR). Following introduction of mandatory price reporting, the five regional fed cattle markets have become more fully integrated (i.e., prices tend to move more closely one-for-one following introduction of MPR).

Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Parcell,   Joseph L.; Tonsor,   Glynn T.
This research examines whether mandatory price reporting (MPR) impacted price relationships among U.S. hog markets. Markets are cointegrated before and after MPR enactment, but not fully integrated in either period. Terminal markets adjust to shocks in the Iowa-Southern Minnesota market more quickly and Iowa-Southern Minnesota prices adjust to shocks in terminal markets more slowly following MPR enactment. Granger causality tests indicate a causal flow from terminal markets to Iowa-Southern Minnesota prices before MPR and a causal reversal after MPR enactment. These results likely reflect decreases in volume of negotiated sales, particularly in terminal markets, and greater reliance on mandatorily reported prices for market information.

Autores: Salassi,   Michael E.; Garcia,   Mercedes; Breaux,   Janis B.; No,   Sung Chul.
Conversion to combine harvesters has resulted in Louisiana sugarcane growers delivering a more perishable product to raw sugar factories. Dextran formation increases as the time between harvest and milling is extended. Milling of freshly cut sugarcane reduces the formation of dextran and associated economic losses. One approach available to factories to reduce dextran formation is to extend the harvested sugarcane delivery schedule to the mill. A simulation model was developed to evaluate alternative delivery schedules at raw sugar factories. Economic losses in product value associated with dextran formation were estimated and compared for various extended delivery schedules.

Autores: Sobowale,   Flakkeh; Dicks,   Michael R.; Adam,   Brian D.; Campiche,   Jody L.
This study measures the impact of corn-based ethanol production in the United States on land use in other countries, or indirect land use. Indirect land use is a change from non-cropland to cropland (e.g. deforestation) that may occur in response to increasing scarcity of cropland. As farmers worldwide respond to higher crop prices in order to maintain the global food supply and demand balance, pristine lands are cleared and converted to new cropland to replace the crops for feed and food that were diverted elsewhere to biofuel production.   The results show that increasing ethanol production in the US has a positive and significant relation to U.S corn price. However, U.S. corn price does not have a significant impact on changes in corn acreage in Brazil...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a statistical difference in sales responsiveness to advertising among whole, lowfat, and skim milk consumers. A case study for New York City which used monthly time series demand data from 1986 through 1992 is presented. Separate per capita demand functions were estimated for whole, lowfat, and skim milk when per capita generic fluid milk advertising expenditure was used as one of the explanatory variables. Other explanatory variables of per capita sales included retail prices of whole, lowfat, and skim milk, retail price of orange juice, per capita income, and a health index representing consumer concerns about fat in one's diet. Long run sales responsiveness to generic milk advertising were...

Autores: Costa,   Ecio de Farias; Epperson,   James E.; Huang,   Chung L.; McKissick,   John C.
This study evaluates the promotion and advertising impacts on the demand for scanned purchases of Vidalia onions and estimates returns to promotion expenditures.  The analysis uses supermarket scanner data collected from scanned purchases of Vidalia onions and promotion expenditures generated by the Vidalia Onion Marketing Order.  An error-components model is estimated to determine the impacts of promotion expenditures for scanned purchases of Vidalia onions, own price, prices of substitutes and complements, demographics, and seasonal variables for 10 different markets over a 260-week period from 1996 to 2001.

IMPACTS OF ADVERTISING, ATTITUDES, LIFESTYLES, AND HEALTH ON THE DEMAND FOR U.S. PORK: A MICRO-LEVEL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Park,   Jaehong.
Using datat from the 1994-1996 CSFII/DHKS, we identify and assess factors affecting the decision to consume pork and conditional on consuming pork, the decision of the amount of pork intake.  Branded and generic advertising of pork play a prominent role in both decisions.  Beef advertising, however, does not significantly affect either the probability of consuming pork or the amount of pork intake.  Key health, attitudinal and lifestyle factors are smoking status, dietary status, body mass index, the importance of nutrition in buying food, and trimming visible fat from meat.  These factors however impact the probability of consuming pork rather than the amount of pork consumed.  Region, urbanization, race, age, income, and seasonality also affect pork...

IMPACTS OF PRICE VARIABILITY ON MARKETING MARGINS AND PRODUCER VIABILITY IN THE TEXAS WHEAT INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Grant,   Warren R.; Richardson,   James W.; Schnake,   L.D.
The effects on marketing margins and Texas what producers of shifting from a period with stable prices to a period without stable prices were investigated using both econometric and simulation techniques.  Empirical evidence reveals wheat export firms are risk averse and that either futures markets were unable to absorb increased price risk or futures markets absorbed increased price risk at a cost of $0.054 per bushel.  Increased variability in prices and reduced farm program benefits substantially reduced the probability of Texas wheat producers receiving a reasonable return on equity and a reasonable rate of asset accumulation.

Impacts of Retailers’ Pricing Strategies for Produce Commodities on Farmer Welfare
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Li,   Chenguang; Sexton,   Richard J.
The typical model of retail pricing for produce products assumes retailers set price equal to the farm price plus a certain markup. However, observations from scanner data indicate a large degree of price dispersion in the grocery retailing market. In addition to markup pricing behavior, we document three alternative leading pricing patterns: fixed (constant) pricing, periodic sale, and high-low pricing. Retail price variations under these alternative pricing regimes in general have little correlation with the farm price.   How do retailers’ alternative pricing behaviors affect farmers’ welfare? Using markup pricing as the baseline case, we parameterize the model to reflect a prototypical fresh produce market and carry out a series of simulations under...

Impediments to Competitiveness of Small and Medium-Scale Maize Milling Enterprises in South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Orefi,   Abu.
The maize milling industry is highly characterised by continuous growth in maize milling and retailing margins in real terms (Traub and Jayne, 2004) despite the benefits and opportunities brought about by the deregulation of the South African maize market in 1997. This may be indicative of the inability of small and medium-scale maize milling enterprises (SMSMMEs) to emerge and compete with large-scale maize millers. This paper examines the constraints faced by SMSMMEs in South Africa. Data were collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Millers were asked to identify the various challenges facing their enterprises. Some key constraints identified were; high transport costs, high maize prices, brand name establishment and government policies...

In this paper, we analyse the market power of the retail industry in the French tomato market. Following the methods developed in the New Empirical Industrial Organization, we develop a structural model of this industry. The analysis is based on detailed data on final consumption and prices at both shipper and consumer levels for two types of tomatoes in France. The structural model is composed of a system of demand equation and supply equation. Supply equation includes a term that represents the market power of the retail sector. We use different models of demand in order to test the robustness of our results. We show that i) elasticity of demand varies during the year ii) the retail sector exercise only a "moderate" market power iii) the estimated...

IMPERFECT COMPETITION MODELS AND COMMODITY PROMOTION EVALUATION: THE CASE OF U.S. GENERIC MILK ADVERTISING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Suzuki,   Nobuhiro; Kaiser,   Harry M.
This article examines whether the assumption of perfect competition in the U.S. dairy industry biases the findings of economic impacts of generic dairy advertising.  An imperfect competition model based on an approach similar to that of Appelbaum is developed and used to evaluate generic milk advertising.  The results are compared with a perfect competition model.  The findings indicate positive price and quantity impacts due to generic advertising.  The differences in magnitude of impacts between the two models are small, suggesting that the assumption of perfect competition for U.S. dairy models is plausible.

In response to the recent outbreaks of food-borne illness, the “Good Agricultural Practices” program has been widely adopted to ensure consistency of food safety. This paper presents a theoretical framework to analyze the performance of the program with respect to output quality based on the assumption of predetermined productive capacity (farm size), heterogeneous farms and exogenous detection. Our main results are: (i) farms respond to the monitoring and enforcement not only by reducing fraudulent output, but also by increasing truly high-safety output until the perfect compliance level is achieved. (ii) the monitoring agency takes farm strategies as given and its optimal inspection policies are: If the monitoring budget is not enough to cover the...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Calderon-Salin,   Delmy.
A marketing information system for Honduras was devised. The premise behind this project is to provide timely access to agricultural market prices for the private sector. Daily price information would be generated for major markets in the two largest cities in Honduras-Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. The collected information would be disseminated publicly within 24 hours of its collection. Prior to initiation of this project, farmers did not have access to current market prices. Procedures involved in implementing the first agricultural marketing information system for Honduras-a potential model for low-income economies-will be discussed in this paper.

Implications of Behavioral Finance for Farmer Marketing Strategy Recommendation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Anderson,   Kim B.
Behavioral finance is a relatively new field of inquiry that may help better understand farmer marketing. The theory argues that people tend to make certain psychological biases that cause them to not be fully rational in an economic sense. For example, people tend to be about twice as upset about a loss as they would be happy about a gain of the same size. The theory can help explain why producers would pay a marketing consultant even when markets are efficient. Extension programs need to consider the psychology of marketing. The theory suggests that decisions need to be framed in terms of their effect on the whole farm operation and in terms of profits over a series of years.

Autores: Troskie,   Dirk P.; Vink,   Nick; Wallace,   M.
The deregulation of the single channel marketing system for wheat poses new challenges to producers and advisors in the Western Cape Province. This deregulation is simultaneous with a number of other changes in the socio-political, economic, marketing and technological environments. In facing these challenges it is necessary to incorporate such diverse trends as globalisation and individualisation within a single framework. In the first part of this paper the development of a model, combining spatial data, resource attributes, crop characteristics and financial/economic data in an interactive model is described. This is followed in the second part by the evaluation of the impact of certain macro-economic variables on farm-level enterprises. This is done...

The study is based on the AGMEMOD (AGricultural MEmber states MODelling) national econometric models. Two scenarios are simulated for each country. The "Baseline" scenario assumes the implementation of the Single Area Payment Scheme until 2008 and the subsequent introduction of the Single Payment Scheme from 2009 onwards. Complementary national direct payments would remain in force until 2013. The second scenario assumes the full decoupling of direct payments from 2007 and the introduction of modulation from 2013 onwards in the 2004 enlargement new Member States (EU-8).

Autores: Dutton,   Jennifer M.; Ward,   Clement E.; Lusk,   Jayson L.
Consumers reveal preferences for fresh beef attributes through their retail beef purchases. Hedonic pricing methods were used to estimate the value consumers place on observable characteristics of fresh beef products, especially on retail beef brands. Primary data were collected from 65 randomly generated grocery stores located in three metropolitan areas, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Denver, Colorado. Retail beef package data were collected on 462 ground products, 175 roast products, and 756 steak products. There was some evidence retail beef brands command a price premium compared with unbranded, generic products. In this study, branding programs classified as “special” (i.e. no antibiotics, no hormones, all natural) offered the largest price...

Autores: Wilson,   William W.; Dahl,   Bruce L.
Bidding competition plays an important role in price discovery and the determination of suppliers in international grains.  In this paper we analyze international bidding competition for wheat for a specific importer.  Tender data over the period 1993-1999 were analyzed and bid functions estimated by class of wheat (hard red spring, hard amber durum, and hard red winter denoted as HRS, HAD, and HRW, respectively) and by selling firm.  A stochastic simulation model was developed to determine the optimal bid and to analyze factors affecting bidding behavior and competition. The tender data indicated there was a surprisingly wide range of bids. Variation of bids across firms submitted for individual HRS tenders had standard deviations that ranged from $5/mt...

Importance and Relevance of Quality Labels in the Austrian Meat Supply Chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Meixner,   Oliver; Haas,   Rainer; Pochtrager,   Siegfried.
Meat is one the most important products concerning sales in the food retail sector in industrialised countries. Confirming Eurostat (2007), almost 45% of the agricultural output in the EU 15 comes from meat. However, production figures of some meat products, especially beef, declined dramatically during the last ten years (minus 690 000 tons between 1995 and 2005 within the EU 15). 1 Due to several major food scandals in the meat sector (BSE, bird flu, etc.) consumers are actually quite suspicious towards meat quality and production conditions. Some try to change their eating behaviour (less meat), others change from one product category to another (from beef to chicken). As a result, the demand for specific meat products declined during the last decade...

Importance of standardizing raw milk quality for the enhancement of Croatian market competitiveness
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tolusic,   Zoltan; Mijic,   P.; Tolusic,   M.
In the European Union member states (EU), it is necessary to evaluate hygienic condition of milk in order to determine milk price. Similar requirement was set by the Republic of Croatia in 2000. The Rulebook defines minimal quality criteria that fresh raw milk must have in order to be purchased. Upon completion of analysis, milk is classified into quality classes, each having a defined price. Increased value of somatic cell count (SCC) (higher than 400.000/ml) and MO (higher than 100.000/ml) directly decreases the raw milk price, while higher content of fat and protein causes its increase. Since the system of market milk price formation was established, producers have been stimulated to produce milk of higher quality: in a total of milk being purchased,...

Autores: Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Swanser,   Kole; Kastens,   Terry L.; Mintert,   James R.; Crosby,   Brett.
Forecasting feeder cattle basis has long been difficult because of the myriad factors that influence basis, including input and output prices and lot characteristics.  This research draws upon knowledge of the various factors that influence cash feeder cattle prices to develop hedonic feeder cattle basis models.  Out-of-sample test results provide strong evidence that these hedonic models predict basis more accurately than the multi-year average forecasting approach commonly used by livestock producers.  Results from this research were used to develop a web tool funded by USDA's Risk Management Agency (BeefBasis.com) that producers can use to forecast and understand feeder cattle basis.

IMPROVING MARKETING STRATEGIES TO ACCELERATE TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE FOR THE BASIC CEREAL: THE NIGER CASE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abdoulaye,   Tahirou; Sanders,   John H.
In Niger as in most of semiarid Sub-Saharan Africa the fallow system has become a historic event as a result of increasing population pressure and has not yet been replaced with increased input use due to low product prices. As a result nutrient mining is becoming prevalent and cereals yields declining. So it is necessary to develop marketing and other strategies to increase farmers' incomes from the use of increased inputs for soil fertility especially inorganic fertilizers. In the farm model, two goals (subsistence food storage and harvest income) are first achieved, before maximizing income, in a linear programming framework with various states of nature. This is an alternative way of handling risk based on farmer's actual observed behavior. Hence this...

Improving the Impact of Market Reform on Agricultural Productivity in Africa: How Institutional Design Makes a Difference Abstract:  This paper reviews the emerging empirical record of agricultural marketing policy reform and agricultural productivity, drawing from research on food access and agricultural productivity supported by USAID’s Africa Bureau on seven countries in West, Eastern, and Southern Africa. We also examine key factors constraining past and future performance of the food systems in these countries. The paper concludes by identifying a set of policy issues for further consideration that would help provide the investment incentives to promote productivity growth for the millions of low-input semi-subsistence rural households in the region.

Improving the Quality of Women’s Gold in Mali, West Africa: The Case of Shea
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Perakis,   Sonja Melissa.
The collection, primary processing, and subsequent sale of shea-based products make an important contribution to rural women’s cash income in many of Mali’s shea producing areas. Internationally, shea has recently become popular in high-valued cosmetics thanks to its therapeutic properties— a deviation away from its historic use as a cheap cocoa-butter substitute. For these reasons, international development actors have targeted the Malian shea value chain as part of their private-sector-development and rural-poverty-alleviation programs and strategies. Information asymmetry in the production and marketing of shea has led to a “Market for Lemons” scenario much like that described by Akerlof (1970), thereby compromising the subsector’s potential to serve as...

IMPROVING THE RELEVANCE OF RESEARCH ON PRICE FORECASTING AND MARKETING STRATEGIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Irwin,   Scott H.
Agricultural economists' research on price forecasting and marketing strategies has been used little by those in the real world.  We argue that fresh approaches to research are needed.  First, we argue that we need to adopt a new theoretical paradigm, noisy rational expectations.  This paradigm suggests that gains from using price forecasting models with public data or from using a marketing strategy are not impossible, but any gains are likely to be small.  We need to conduct falsification tests; to perform confirmation and replication; to adjust research to reflect structural changes, such as increased contracting; and always to conduct statistical tests.  We also provide a modest agenda for changing our research and extension programs.

Autores: Fisher,   Brian S.; Tanner,   Carolyn.
The structure of prices of Sydney wool futures contracts is examined with the aid of spectral analysis. Although the series studied are not strictly random walks, it is shown that there is little useful information for forecasting contained in the historical price data. It is concluded that the behaviour of prices on the Sydney wool futures market is essentially the same as that observed for the majority of stock and futures price series from other markets.

Incentives and static and dynamic gains from market reform: rice production in Vietnam
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nhu Che,   Tuong; Kompas,   Tom; Vousden,   Neil.
This article develops a dynamic model to account for the enhanced incentive effects that result from market reform through a move toward private property rights and competitive markets. Reform is captured through an emerging profits function which depends on effective prices and incentives to work harder. Static and dynamic output gains from reform are derived through increases in total factor productivity and induced capital accumulation. The model is applied to rice production in Vietnam over the period 1976–94. The more extensive is market reform, the larger the effects found on rice output, the capital stock and transitional growth rates, suggesting that incentives and more competitive markets matter greatly.

Incentives to Advertise and Product Differentiation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hunnicutt,   Lynn; Israelsen,   L. Dwight.
Recent court rulings question the ability of commodity groups to fund generic promotions through mandatory check-off programs. A model examining incentives to fund brand advertisements when both brand and generic advertising exist is presented. Brand advertising expands the market by attracting new consumers to the industry, and allows the advertising firm to take customers from rivals in the industry. Homogeneous products are advertised too little relative to the amount that maximizes total industry profits, and brandable products are advertised too much. The optimal check-off rate is derived, and the Dorfman-Steiner condition is shown to be a special case of this model.

Income Enhancing and Risk Management Properties of Marketing Practices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Tomek,   William G.
A rational expectations storage model is used to simulate monthly corn prices, which are used to evaluate marketing strategies to manage price risk. The data are generated and analyzed in two formats: for long-run outcomes over 10,000 "years" of monthly prices and for 10,000 cases of 40-year "lifetimes." Three categories of strategies are analyzed: frequency of post-harvest cash sales, unconditional hedges, and conditional hedges. The comparisons are based on the simulated probability distributions of net returns. One conclusion is that diversifying cash sales, without hedging, is not an efficient means of risk management. Unhedged storage does not reduce risk and, on average, reduces returns. The analysis of the 40-year lifetimes demonstrates, however,...

Autores: Govindasamy,   Ramu; Hossain,   Ferdaus; Adelaja,   Adesoji O.
Policy makers are looking for ways to preserve farmlands, especially near urban areas.  Farmers are also trying to find ways to increase their farm income by incorporating non-traditional activities into their farm routine.  This paper attempts to quantify the contributions of selected nontraditional activities towards farmers' efforts to enhance their farm income.  For farmers involved in direct marketing, a logit model is used to estimate the probability of attaining high income for each activity considered, selling of farm related value-added products, greenhouse operations and urban location of farm markets will increase the chance o attaining high income levels.

INCORPORATING CURRENT INFORMATION INTO HISTORICAL-AVERAGE-BASED FORECASTS TO IMPROVE CROP PRICE BASIS FORECASTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Taylor,   Mykel R.; Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Kastens,   Terry L.
Being able to accurately predict basis is critical for making marketing and management decisions. Basis forecasts can be used along with futures prices to provide cash price projections. Additionally, basis forecasts are needed to evaluate hedging opportunities. Many studies have examined factors affecting basis but few have explicitly examined the ability to forecast basis. Studies have shown basis forecasts based on simple historical averages compare favorably with more complex forecasting models. However, these studies typically have considered only a 3-year historical average for forecasting basis. This research compares practical methods of forecasting basis for wheat, soybeans, corn, and milo (grain sorghum) in Kansas. Across most of the...

Although South Africans are not predominantly wine drinkers, the industry is looking for ways to develop the local market to balance exports. The black middle class, increasingly referred to as the Black Diamonds are the most powerful marketing trend in the last 10 years as they have emerged as the strongest buying influence in the economy and making inroads in understanding this market presents a good opportunity. The data used in this paper was collected from an integration of a consumer behaviour survey; as well as personal interviews and focus group discussions. The paper asserts that the key factors influencing the South African consumers’ behaviour are age, gender, income, race and wine drinking history. The paper also asserts that not only are the...

INCREASING FOOD RECOVERY FROM FARMERS' MARKETS: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Price,   Charlene C.; Harris,   James Michael.
Collecting unsold food discarded at farmer's markets has the potential to allow nonprofit food recovery and gleaning organizations to distribute significant quantities of wholesome, unsold fruits and vegetables to needy families. Donations of this unsold produce by the participants at these markets can generate tangible benefits: increased private food assistance and better nutrition for lower income families. The Geographical Information System (GIS) analysis presented in this study indicates that there is potential to strengthen the links between farmer's markets and nonprofit food recovery and gleaning organizations in many areas of the United States.

Increasing Food-Safety Protection: Fresh Apple Markets in China
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gao,   Lili; Thornsbury,   Suzanne.
Food-safety concerns have a highly visible impact on current U.S.-China agricultural trade. Initial concerns over melamine in imported pet and animal feed have spread to other products, and traditional made-in-China “cheap” goods are drawing great safety attention from U.S. customers and regulators. At the same time, China has raised concerns over U.S. products as diverse as orange pulp, health supplements, and pistachio nuts. Ultimately, the impact of food-safety regulation will be determined not only by regulatory content but also by administrative and structural characteristics of supply chains. This paper uses fresh apple markets in China as an example to illustrate the complexity of managing interactions among these three factors.

Autores: Nyoro,   James K.; Wanzala,   Maria N.; Awuor,   Tom.
The objective of this paper is to address the farm level issues that affect the production costs and so the competitiveness of domestic food and commercial production. It compares domestic production prices of key food commodities with the equivalent parity prices to assess the extent to which the domestic prices for maize, wheat, and sugar, and export and domestic crops are competitive. This paper identifies and assesses the factors that influence domestic production costs. It also identifies strategies that could increase food and export crops’ productivity, by that reducing production costs and encourage competitiveness of the domestic production.

INCREASING THE ACCURACY OF OPTION PRICING BY USING IMPLIED PARAMETERS RELATED TO HIGHER MOMENTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ji,   Dasheng; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
The inaccuracy of the Black-Scholes formula arises from two aspects: the formula is for European options while most real option contracts are American; the formula is based on the assumption that underlying asset prices follow a lognormal distribution while in the real world asset prices cannot be described well by a lognormal distribution. We develop an American option pricing model that allows non-normality. The theoretical basis of the model is Gaussian quadrature and dynamic programming. The usual binomial and trinomial models are special cases. We use the Jarrow-Rudd formula and the relaxed binomial and trinomial tree models to imply the parameters related to the higher moments. The results demonstrate that using implied parameters related to the...

India’s Agrarian Crisis and Corporate-Led Contract Farming: Socio-economic Implications for Smallholder Producers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sharma,   Vijay Paul.
The paper discusses India’s agrarian crisis and the role of corporate-led contract farming in addressing these crisis. A two-stage Heckman model was used to explain determinants of participation in contract farming, and whether participation in contract farming affects farm income. The results indicate that contract farming has a positive impact on crop productivity and farm income. The socio-economic factors that influenced participation in contract farming were education, age, farm size, access to institutional credit, source of off-farm income and membership to an organization. Factors related to the likelihood of participation in contract farming slightly differed from the factors affecting farm income.

Industry, firm, year, and country effects on profitability: Evidence from a large sample of EU food processing firms

This paper analyzes the variance in accounting profitability within the European food industry. Based on a large panel data set, the variance in return on assets (ROA) is decomposed into year, country, industry, and firm effects. Further on, we include all possible interactions between year, country, and industry and discuss the theoretical foundations for these effects. After singling out the significant effect classes in a nested ANOVA with a thoroughly designed rotation regarding the order of effect introduction, we determine effect magnitude using components of variance (COV). Our results show that firm characteristics seem to be far more important than industry structure in determining the level of economic return within the food industry. Year and...

Autores: Mujawamariya,   Gaudiose; D'Haese,   Marijke F.C.; Burger,   Kees.
Interlocked relationships are characterised by traders’ supply of inputs and cash to producers on credit, to be reimbursed at sale time based on a pre-defined price which is often lower than the prevailing market price. The study analyses determinants of choice of interlocking in the gum sector in Senegal and the effect of interlocking on market participation and gum production. Data from 422 gum producers in Northern and Eastern regions of Senegal are used. About 41% of respondents are involved into interlocking with village shop-owners or mobile traders. Interlocking positively influences market participation and production as found through a Heckman selection model.

Information and communications technologies (ICTs) have spread rapidly over the past decade.  There has been considerable interest in the effect of such technology on search costs, search behavior and welfare outcomes, particularly in developing countries.  This paper investigates the impact of a new search technology, mobile phones, on traders’ search and marketing behavior in Niger.  We construct a novel theoretical model of sequential search, in which traders engage in optimal search for the maximum sales price, net transport costs. The model predicts that the introduction of a new search technology, such as mobile telephones, will increase traders’ reservation sales prices and the number of markets over which they search. To test the predictions of the...

INFORMATION AS A DOUBLE-EDGE SWORD: IMPLICATIONS FOR FOOD STANDARDS AND LABELS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Deaton,   Brady J., Jr.; Hoehn,   John P.
An analytical model is developed to examine product quality labeling. Prior to labeling all consumers are willing to pay a premium for the quality characteristic but product quality cannot be observed directly. If production costs are increasing, the total quantity produced may contain a mix of products - with and without the high-valued attribute. In the pooled equilibrium demand is influenced by perceptions of the product mix. After labels are introduced the market is separated into two sectors, conventional and high-valued. The economic implications of labels are examined by contrasting welfare in the separating equilibrium with welfare in the pooled equilibrium. Under the models' maintained assumptions the conventional sector loses welfare, while...

INFORMATION AS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD: THE ECONOMIC AND WELFARE CONSEQUENCES OF CERTIFIED LABELING FOR CREDENCE ATTRIBUTES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hoehn,   John P.; Deaton,   Brady J., Jr.
Certified labeling for credence attributes is examined using the concepts of pooled and separating equilibria.  Credence attributes are product features that cannot be experienced directly by consumer, features such as pesticide-free, dolphin-safe, hormone-free, and organic.  Without labeling, the traded good is a mix of credence and conventional goods.  With certified labeling, the pooled market is replaced with separate markets for the credence and conventional good.  Market outcomes are examined theoretically and with empirical simulations.  Costless labeling is net welfare improving, but impacts are highly asymmetric.  Credence producers gain largely at the expense of conventional producers.  Costly labeling may reduce welfare even with rather modest...

In settings where there is imperfect information about an underlying state of nature, but where inferences are made sequentially and are publicly observable, information cascades can lead to rational herding.  Cascade phenomena may be seen in a variety of areas including technology adoption, financial market behavior, as well as in social processes such as mate selection or fads and fashions.  Theories of rational herding have found a natural testing ground in experimental environments since the character of private and public information can be readily controlled.  In previous experimental studies, behavior consistent with Bayesian benchmarks has been observed in simple contexts, but there are substantial reductions in experimental environments that...

Information and communications technologies (ICTs) have spread rapidly in the developing world. There has been considerable interest in the potential role ICTs, particularly mobile phones, have begun to play in the marketing of agricultural outputs in these countries. In this paper, we discuss the potential impacts ICTs may have on welfare, both in terms of potential efficiency gains (via improved arbitrage), and welfare transfers among agents in the supply chain (via reduced informational asymmetries and market power). We also review the recent empirical evidence for such effects.

Laboratory experimentation was used to assess the impacts of information disclosure in imperfect markets. A dual oligopoly market structure was designed with contract information disclosed to subjects under three treatments: no, partial, and full disclosure. Regression analysis revealed some increase in selling price with full information disclosure, but no discernable effects on negotiated prices with partial disclosure. Alternative specifications showed large traders earning significantly lower profits, and information on large traders significantly beneficial to both buyers and sellers. Probit analysis of information selection determinants revealed no significant economic content in trader requests for information under partial disclosure.

INFORMATION SHARING AND OLIGOPOLY IN AGRICULTURAL MARKETS: THE ROLE OF BARGAINING ASSOCIATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hueth,   Brent; Marcoul,   Philippe.
We study incentives for information sharing (about uncertain future demand for final output) among firms in imperfectly competitive markets for farm output. Information sharing generally leads to increases in expected total welfare but may reduce expected firm profits. Even when expected firm profits increase, information sharing does not represent equilibrium behavior because firms face a prisoner?s dilemma in which it is privately rational for each firm to withhold information, given that other firms report truthfully. This equilibrium can be overcome if firms commit to simultaneously reporting their information and if reports are verifiable. We argue that agricultural bargaining associations serve both these roles.

The declining share of beef in total U.S. meat consumption has motivated industry-wide efforts to improve average beef quality through more effective coordination among the various market participants.

More recent efforts include animal-specific carcass data collection, with subsequent transmission to feeders and the relevant cow/calf operations, and improved source verification procedures aimed at (among other things) reducing the overall cost of medical treatment for live animals. None of these organizational innovations is costless, and indeed a number of significant barriers must be overcome before more widespread adoption of such...

ABSTRACT This study was performed to determine and quantify the inherent auction factors that affect the selling price of beef calves (weanlings - from six to nine months old). Data on the selling price, location and month of the auction, genetic group, lot size live weight, and sex of animals were collected in 148 auctions from January 2004 to December 2014. A total of 4,312 lots corresponding to 48,588 calves were classified into seven genetic groups according to their phenotypic characteristics. The values were deflated using the General Price index (IGP-DI) inflation index and met the parametric assumptions. The selling price was standardized by the yearly median, assuming that its value corresponds to 100%, and the other values varied in their...

Innovation Behaviour At Farm Level – Selection And Identification
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sauer,   Johannes; Zilberman,   David.
Using a squential logit model and a mixed-effects logistic regression approach this empirical study investigates factors for the adoption of automatic milking technology (AMS) at the farm level accounting for problems of sequential sample selection and behaviour identification. The results suggest the importance of the farmer’s risk perception, significant effects of peer-group behaviour, and a positive impact of previous innovation experiences.

Innovation Trajectories in Honduras’ Coffee Value Chain? ‐ Public and the Private Influence on the Use of new Knowledge and Technology among Coffee Growers ‐
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fromm,   Ingrid; Hartwich,   Frank; Romero,   Gustavo.
In this paper we present results from a study on the use of improved coffee production technology schemes among smallholder coffee producers in three prominent coffee producing regions in Honduras. We analyze the impact of various schemes (trajectories) in which different agents influence the producers’ decision to use new technologies. In particular, we distinguish the influence of a) private coffee buying organizations and b) government and public development agencies on the innovation behavior of coffee growers. Drawing from network data that depict the internal and outbound connectedness of producers in three village communities in main coffee producing zones in Honduras, we applied tools of social network analysis to find out how interactions with...

Input-Output Analysis in Australia: An Agricultural Perspective
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mules,   T.J.
This paper surveys the Australian history, development and applications of Leontief's input-output system. A strong agricultural/regional association with the technique is found to exist, both in terms of compilation and application of input-output tables. It is also found that while interest in the technique was historically the domain of a number of disparate individuals, in recent years there has emerged a wider involvement of Government agencies such as the Industries Assistance Commission at the Federal level and the various State Government Departments responsible for economic analysis. The paper concludes with a review of current developments.

Inspection Intensity and Market Structure
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Marette,   Stephan.
An investigation of financing an inspection policy while allowing the enforcement of a market regulation is described. A simple model shows that the intensity of controls depends on the market structure. Under a given number of firms, the per-firm probability of controls is lower than one, since firms' incentive to comply with regulation holds under positive profits. In this case, a lump-sum tax is used for limiting distortions coming from financing with a fixed fee. Under free entry, the per-firm probability of controls is equal to one, and only a fixed fee that prevents excess entry is used to finance inspection.

Institution of Ground Water Market for Management of Ground Water Resource: A Study from Assam in Northeast India

Autores: Dutta,   Mrinal Kanti.
Assam in the north eastern region of India has the endowments to ensure agricultural growth in the sense that the state has huge reserves of ground water in addition to the enormous surface water availability. Returns to both labor and capital in the state are considered high as potentials for exploiting the existing technology are yet largely untapped. As insufficient irrigation infrastructure is identified as a major constraint on exploiting such potentials, investment for expanding irrigation capacity is needed. At the same time, putting necessary institutions in place to ensure that the installed capacity is effectively utilized is also equally important. Compared to relatively larger government irrigation schemes, the privately owned and operated tube...

Institutional Change and Acceptance of Quality Assurance: The Case of Organic Farming in Germany
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schulze,   Holger; Jahn,   Gabriele; Spiller,   Achim.
The institutional framework of the certification scheme is a crucial factor for the future success of the organic market. Increasing complexity and a few scandals indicate that the current control structures might be insufficient. A better understanding of farmers’ attitudes is necessary to increase acceptance and to guarantee the longer-term success of the organic certification system. Against this background we designed a theoretical framework based on a cognitive perspective. The empirical basis of the study was a survey conducted with organic farmers in Germany. Results highlight that the majority of the farmers accept the present organic certification system, but are not convinced of its cost-benefit relationship.

Institutional Innovations for Smallholder Compliance with International Food Safety Standards: Experiences from Kenya, Ethiopian and Zambian Green Bean Growers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Okello,   Julius Juma; Narrod,   Clare A.; Roy,   Devesh.
Many African countries have moved into the production of non-traditional agricultural products to diversify their exports and increase foreign currency earnings. Accessing developed country markets requires meeting food safety standards brought about by several demand and supply side factors. Food retailers in the EU, the major destination market, have developed protocols relating to pesticide residue limits, field and packinghouse hygiene, and traceability. In this changing scenario where food safety requirements are getting increasingly stringent, there are worries that companies that establish production centers in LDCs might exclude smallholder farmers. In this paper, we study the cases of green beans production in Ethiopia, Kenya and Zambia for export...

INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVES OF ENHANCING SMALLHOLDER MARKET ACCESS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Magingxa,   Litha Light; Kamara,   Abdul B.
There is growing evidence that many smallholder farmers can benefit from market-oriented agriculture.  However, smallholders often face a number of barriers to accessing the markets.  Smallholder market access is much cited as a factor that exacerbates the smallholder situation but little researched.  This issue cannot be addressed completely without taking a holistic perspective that also takes into account the global trends in economic transformation that have a direct bearing on the current smallholder market access situation.  A growing number of scholars advocate the need for an institutional analysis in trying to understand these issues

Autores: le Goulven,   Katell.
This article addresses the issue of whether different market institutions are accompanied by different degrees of efficiency and symmetry of price transmission between the producer and retail levels.  It analyzes hog market institutions as they differ between the North and the South regions of Vietnam.  The paper uses a price asymmetry model including an error correction term to reconcile potential cointegration relations with symmetry.  The analysis shows that the market is efficient in conveying accurate information, provided public support institutions are in place.

In-Store Evaluation of Consumer Willingness to Pay for “Farm-Raised” Pre-Cooked Roast Beef: A Case Study
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nalley,   Lawton Lanier; Hudson,   Darren; Rogers,   Robert W.; Martin,   James M.; Herring,   Joshua L.
A choice-based conjoint experiment was used to examine consumer willingness to pay for a farm-raised pre-cooked roast beef product. Consumers were contacted in a grocery store and provided a sample of the pre-cooked product. Findings indicate there is a small, but statistically significant willingness-to-pay premium for the farm-raised product, suggesting that some product differentiation may result in higher prices for these products. The study outlines an approach to marketing research.

Integrating Small Scale Farmers into Bread Wheat Marketing Chain through Contract Farming in Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Getaneh,   Wubalem; Bekabil,   Fufa.
The treatment effect censored regression model results of this study showed that educational level, value of agricultural equipment and number of oxen owned affected the participation decisions of the farmers in bread wheat contract farming significantly. The most important factors that determine gross margin obtained from bread wheat production were contract farming experience, the number of oxen owned and participation in contract farming. However, technical efficiency differences and management practices followed were not the reasons for differences in gross margin between the participant and non-participant farmers.

Integrating the Structural Auction Approach and Traditional Measures of Market Power
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tostao,   Emilio; Chung,   Chanjin; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
This study asks the question, what is the relationship between traditional models of market power and structural auction models?  An encompassing model is derived that considers both price markdowns due to bid shading during an auction and price markdowns at the industry-level due to imperfect competition.  Data from a cattle procurement experimental market is used to compare the appropriateness of the two alternative theories.  Regression results show that while the number of firms is more important than the number of bidders on lot of cattle in explaining pricing behavior in the game, the number of bidders does contain some unique information and should be included in the model.  Both the traditional NEIO and structural auction approaches overestimated...

INTEGRATION AND BEHAVIOR IN THE U.S. WINTER MARKET FOR FRESH TOMATOES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jordan,   Kenrick H.; VanSickle,   John J.
Alternative hypotheses of market integration in the U.S. winter market for fresh tomatoes were evaluated using a dynamic model of spatial price adjustment.  The results showed that while Florida and Mexico were integrated in the same market, a price change in one area was not instantaneously reflected in the other.  Lagged effects were important with long-run integration being supported for both Florida and Mexico and short-run integration for Mexico.  However, the information flow, while relatively efficient, was not symmetric.  Florida was found to be dominant in the price formation process with Mexico responding to changes in the Florida price.

Integration and Equilibrium in the Maize Markets in Southern Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mutambatsere,   Emelly; Mabaya,   Edward T.; Christy,   Ralph D.
For most countries in southern Africa, food security has been addressed through self-sufficiency, traditionally attained through widespread government involvement in the input and output markets for major food commodities.  Food policies through the 1980’s have been characterized by input subsidies for farmers; fixed, pan-seasonal and pan-territorial farm level pricing systems, mainly implemented through parastatal marketing boards; as well as subsidies and price controls at the wholesale and retail levels.  Under Structural Adjustment Programs of the 1990’s, most of those policies were abandoned for more market oriented policies.  During the same period, many countries in the region joined the multilateral trading system, and on a regional level, two...

INTEGRATION IN BENIN MAIZE MARKET: AN APPLICATION OF THRESHOLD COINTEGRATION ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McKenzie,   Andrew M.; Pede,   Valerien O.
The degree to which markets are spatially efficient has important implications for market liberalization and other policy reforms. After several attempts to control and regulate the marketing of maize in Benin, a liberalized free-market system was finally adopted in 1990. It was assumed that a free-market system would perform more efficiently and enhance maize market integration compared with the more government oriented systems of the past. However, trade barriers still exist in the form of traders' associations across market locations. Recent market integration literature has focused on the influence of transaction costs and threshold effects on tests for integration. Hansen and Seo's two regime threshold cointegration model is used to analyze the degree...

In the past several years, the seed industry worldwide has been dramatically restructured, mostly through mergers and acquisitions. We argue that the restructuring has been technologically driven, and has also resulted in the transformation of several chemical conglomerates into life-science firms. We discuss why the restructuring has mostly occurred through mergers rather than contractual relationships such as licensing, and investigate its efficiency implications, both as it concerns anticompetitive effects and the joint use of complementary assets.

Interaction Between Food Attributes in Markets: The Case of Environmental Labeling
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Grolleau,   Gilles; Caswell,   Julie A.
Some consumers derive utility from using products produced with specific processes, such as environmentally friendly practices. Means of verifying these credence attributes, such as certification, are necessary for the market to function effectively. A substitute or complementary solution may exist when consumers perceive a relationship between a process attribute and other verifiable product attributes. We present a model where the level of search and experience attributes influences the likelihood of production of eco-friendly products. Our results suggest that the market success of eco-friendly food products requires a mix of environmental and other verifiable attributes that together signal credibility.

A major role of agricultural policy is to identify policy changes that may induce technological innovation and productivity growth throughout the food system, in order to increase the living standards of people who must relate to it in one way or another. While food market reform has been subject to contentious and often emotional debate over the last decade in Africa, the debate has generally been over assumptions about how food markets work in reality as opposed to theory, and how markets actually respond to particular forms of policy change. The lack of consensus is partially due to a shortage of empirical, ground-level information linking specific policies to specific impacts. It is in this context that we draw on applied analysis in Southern Africa to...

Intermediate Volatility Forecasts Using Implied Forward Volatility: The Performance of Selected Agricultural Commodity Options
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Egelkraut,   Thorsten M.; Garcia,   Philip.
Options with different maturities can be used to generate an implied forward volatility, a volatility forecast for non-overlapping future time intervals. Using five commodities with varying characteristics, we find that the implied forward volatility dominates forecasts based on historical volatility information, but that the predictive accuracy is affected by the commodity's characteristics. Unbiased and efficient corn and soybeans market forecasts are attributable to the well-established volatility during crucial growing periods. For soybean meal, wheat, and hogs volatility is less predictable, and investors appear to demand a risk premium for bearing volatility risk.

International and Internal Market Integration in Indian agriculture: A study of the Indian Rice Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jayasuriya,   Sisira; Kim,   Jae H.; Kumar,   Parmod.
There has been concern about the effectiveness of India's agricultural policy reforms adopted in recent years as part of the overall policy liberalisation process. These concerns have been strengthened by studies of spatial market integration of major agricultural commodity markets, such as the rice market, which have concluded that Indian agricultural markets remain largely segmented and fragmented. These studies, however, have ignored possible structural breaks due to reform policies adopted since the early 1990s and the possible impact of world markets on domestic price movements. We show that the major reforms of the Indian rice market in 1994 has had a major impact on market integration, leading to much faster price convergence between domestic and...

The global agricultural marketing environment is changing rapidly. Coupled with the advance in technology, a borderless society is emerging that necessitates a rethinking of traditional agricultural policies. This paper analyses this trend by presenting an overview of issues currently affecting agricultural trade, both globally and in South Africa. The latter has undergone a significant deregulation and liberalisation process of its own. Coupled with global trends towards even further deregulation, especially during the 1999 round of multilateral trade negotiations, agricultural industries and economists will be required to focus their attention in this direction. While the former need to devise strategies that will enhance their international...

Reliable marketing opportunities in both interregional and international trade along with relatively low transportation [and transaction] costs are essential to profitability of wheat production. In this study we have investigated one aspect of the quality of marketing and trade opportunities in the Kazakh wheat sector, that is the extent and nature of integration among regional wheat markets. We applied threshold cointegration technique to assess the co-movement between time series of elevator prices at three grain-trading (and producing) spots in the northern and central parts of the country.  Results suggest that markets of two northern grain trading spots (Petropavlovsk and Kokshetau) are closely connected with each other while their connection with...

Interstate Trade in Market Milk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Small,   Annette M.
Interstate trade has been a feature of the policy debate for several agricultural products in Australia, including wheat, eggs and dairy products. Interstate trade in market milk has been an on-going policy issue since the early 1970s, but has largely been prevented by informal agreements and threats of retaliation. Formal arrangements preventing free interstate trade are unlawful, being contrary to Section 92 of the Australian Constitution. Due to recent changes in the marketing arrangements for manufacturing milk, interstate trade in market milk now has the potential to rapidly deregulate the whole Australian dairy industry, with the consequent problems of resource dislocation and adjustment The potential impacts of interstate trade in market milk are...

Investigating alternative governance systems for the South African mohair supply chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jordaan,   Daniel du Plessis Scheepers; Kirsten,   Johann F.
Mohair is an exclusive natural animal fibre with niche market appeal. It is, however, questionable whether it is inherently suited to a commodity-based marketing system in a marketing environment that requires marketing systems to convey far more information than commodity-based systems do. Historically, mohair has been considered a commodity and the marketing system for mohair has been structured accordingly. It is, however, argued that, the exchange between mohair growers and the buyers of greasy mohair requires increased levels of coordination to govern the exchange in a transaction costs efficient manner. The inefficiencies created by an inappropriate or incomplete marketing system for South African mohair are expected to lead to a loss of consumer...

Investigating Thai Shopping Behavior: Wet-Markets, Supermarkets and the ‘Big Middle’
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gorton,   Matthew; Sauer,   Johannes; Supatpongkul,   Pajaree.
Drawing on the Big Middle theory of retail evolution, an analysis of primary survey data on Thai shopping behavior seeks to understand the relative satisfaction of consumers with wet markets and supermarkets, identifying the factors that affect frequency of visit to, and purchase behavior within, these retail outlets. This provides the basis for engaging in a wider debate on the possibility of a ‘Global Big Middle’ for food retailing. On all salient attributes affecting retail outlet choice, supermarkets perform better than wet markets. However for fresh produce, wet markets continue to account for the majority of expenditure, albeit to a far lesser extent than in previous studies. A bootstrapped bivariate ordered probit model identifies that supermarkets...

Investigating the Sources of Agricultural Growth in Africa: Factor Accumulation, Total Factor Productivity, and Technology Absorption
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nkamleu,   Guy Blaise.
This paper investigates sources and determinants of agricultural growth in Africa, concentrating on the growth path during the last three decades. The analysis employs the broader framework provided by empirical growth literature and recent developments in Total Factor Productivity (TFP) measurement to search for fundamental determinants of growth in African agriculture. One main contribution and new findings in this analysis is the quantification of the contribution of the productivity growth and the contribution of different inputs such as land, labor, tractor and fertilizer in the agricultural growth. Growth accounting computation highlights the fact that factor accumulation rather than TFP accounts for a large share of agricultural output growth and...

Autores: Faye,   Mbene Dieye.
Due to the lack of information on the factors that affect the marketing of cowpeas in Senegal, this study investigates key aspects for the successful marketing of cowpeas in Senegal. The contribution this study makes lies in the information it generates to empower role-players in the cowpea value chain to better understand (i) the demand relations of cowpeas in Senegal, (ii) the information needs of role-players and the extent to which markets are integrated, and (iii) for which characteristics of cowpea consumers are willing to pay premiums.    An Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model is applied to one period cross sectional data to estimate demand relations of cowpea's in Senegal. The own price elasticity of cowpea is -1.23 while its expenditure...

In this paper, we study the efficiency of the Chinese wheat and soybeans futures markets and assess the conditions in agricultural commodity futures and cash markets in China. Formal statistical tests are conducted through Johansen's cointegration approach to identify the long-term equilibrium relationship between futures and cash markets.  Three different cash prices from Zhengzhou Grain Wholesale Market, Tianjin Grain Wholesale Market, and the national average wholesale price are used.  The wheat futures price from China Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange and soybeans futures price from Dalian Commodity Exchange with different forecasting horizons ranging from one week to six months are also used.

Is Storage at a Loss Merely an Illusion of Aggregation?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Garcia,   Philip; Irwin,   Scott H.
The storage at a loss paradox of positive inventories despite inadequate spot-futures price spread coverage of storage costs is an unresolved issue of long-standing interest to economists.  Alternative explanations include risk premiums for futures market speculators, convenience yields from having inventories on hand, and the mismeasurement/aggregation of data.  T-test analyses of disaggregated data suggest soybean price behavior consistent with intertemporal arbitrage conditions and corn price behavior that may imply convenience yields.

Is Storage at a Loss Merely an Illusion of Spatial Aggregation?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Garcia,   Philip; Irwin,   Scott H.
The storage-at-a-loss paradox—stocks despite inadequate price growth to cover storage costs—is an unresolved issue of long-standing interest to economists. Alternative explanations include risk premiums for futures market speculators, convenience yields from holding stocks, and mismeasurement/aggregation of data. Statistical analyses of regional and elevator corn and soybean price growth in Illinois suggest limited aggregation effects and reveal a pattern of regional- and elevator-level backwardations in the presence of Illinois corn stocks that is inconsistent with aggregation explanations for storage at a loss. Interviews with elevator managers support the existence of convenience yields.

IS THE EFFICACY OF AGRICULTURAL PROMOTION PROGRAMS OVERESTIMATED?  THE IMPORTANCE OF DYNAMICS IN ADVERTISING DEMAND SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cardwell,   Ryan T.
This article outlines the shortcomings of current techniques to assess the effectiveness of agricultural commodity promotion campaigns; particularly their neglect of the dynamic nature of the underlying demand system.  The dynamics that affect advertising effectiveness over time are illustrated, and the importance of cointegration in commodity markets is outlined.  A dynamic, error-correction Almost Ideal Demand System is developed to accommodate the aforementioned dynamics and this model is applied to US meat data.  Short and long-run elasticities for the dynamic model using Stone'’s price index are derived and estimated.  The article also includes a discussion of the use of elasticities in policy decisions.

Is the Local Basis Really Local?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Manfredo,   Mark R.; Sanders,   Dwight R.
Conventional wisdom suggests the local cash - futures basis is determined from local supply and demand conditions.  However, it may be the case that local elevators look to other locations, such as terminal locations, and adjust for transportation differentials when determining the basis for their particular market.  If so, certain grain marketing locations (e.g., export and interior terminal locations) may play an important role in discovering and ultimately determining the basis for other local markets.  This hypothesis is examined for the #2 yellow corn basis at various export terminal (Gulf; Toledo), river terminal (Illinois River; Omaha) and interior (S. Central Illinois; N. Central Iowa; Denver) locations. Specifically, if the basis calculated at one...

The Texas Pecan Board was established in 1998 to administer the Texas Pecan Checkoff Program and is financed through a one-half cent per pound assessment on grower pecan sales. The Board spends the assessment collections on a variety of advertising campaigns in an attempt to expand demand for Texas pecans, both improved and native varieties, and increase the welfare of Texas pecan growers. This study presents an evaluation of the economic effectiveness of the Texas Pecan Checkoff Program in expanding sales of Texas pecans.

After over eight years of trading, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter futures contract remains thinly traded, possibly impeding price discovery. Pricing efficiency was assessed using cointegration techniques and error correction models. Results suggest that market efficiency could not be rejected up to a two-month forecast horizon. Illiquid markets reduce hedging performance, which in turn discourage liquidity growth.

This study analyses the variables that affect the option premium levels in an attempt to identify a period in time that would be considered "preferred" for the purchase of a December put option contract for corn and cotton.  The daily futures and options data from January 1990 to October 2005 revealed that average prices of December cotton and corn futures tended to be higher in the month of March.  The early months of the year also demonstrated low implied volatility levels while offering larger time to maturity.  The analysis suggests that March may be a preferred time to purchase December cotton and corn put options.

Is There Market Power in the French Comte Cheese Market?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Merel,   Pierre R.
An NEIO approach is used to measure seller market power in the French Comté cheese market, characterised by government-approved supply control. The estimation is performed on quarterly data at the wholesale stage over the period 1985-2005. Three different elasticity shifters are included in the demand specification, and the supply equation accounts for the existence of the European dairy quota policy. The market power estimate is small and statistically insignificant. Monopoly is rejected, as well as weak forms of Cournot oligopoly. Results appear to be robust to the choice of functional form, and suggest little effect of the supply control scheme on consumer prices.

Is there Need for more Transparency and Efficiency in Cause‐related Marketing

“Growing awareness among consumers about sustainability issues ‐ ranging from recycling to fair wages for workers ‐ are starting to shape consumer buying patterns” (Partos 2009). Especially for conscious consumers ethical and sustainable consumption are becoming mainstream. With regard to ethical consumption the popularity is shown for instance by a growing relevance of Causerelated Marketing (CrM) campaigns in Germany. CrM is an increasingly applied marketing tool, where product purchase leads to target‐oriented donations regarding a designated cause – promoted on the product by label. However, research reveals that German consumers are sceptic with regard to the amount of money spent and have doubts towards unselfish motives of firms. At present little...

The relevance of the ISO 9000 series of quality management systems (QMS) for U.S. agribusiness is analyzed.  Certified firms from several industries were surveyed to determine their before (ex ante) and after (ex post) perspectives of the QMS.  Results for the agribusiness subsample are compared to those for firms from other industries to determine if they behave differently.  Anticipated marketing advantages (increasing market share and providing access to new markets) of the QMS were critical factors that encouraged the pursuit of the certificate.  The average cost to attain certification was $101.400 and to maintain certification was an additional $26,500 per year.

Issues and Research Needs of the Australian Organic Food Products Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zepeda,   Lydia; Griffith,   Garry R.; Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
Worldwide, the demand for organic food products has expanded rapidly in the past decade, stimulated by consumer perceptions that organic products are safer, cleaner and more ethical than conventional products.  The demand for organic products is estimated to be growing at a rate of 15-20 per cent per annum, with sales reaching $US23 billion in 2002.  The biggest growth in consumption has occurred in developed countries such as the United States and Europe, which are major importers of organic foods.  Australia, as a major exporter of agricultural products, stands to benefit from this expansion in demand.  However, little is known about the organic industry by other agribusinesses and little research on organics has been conducted in Australia, especially...

Issues in evaluating generic promotion in the food chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goddard,   Ellen W.; Freebairn,   John W.; Griffith,   Garry R.
Some issues in the evaluation of generic promotion have received relatively little attention. The agricultural economics literature on brand versus generic advertising is often simple empirically and has not related well to the burgeoning marketing literature on brand/private label strategies. Conversely, that literature does not often consider the implication of the strategies for any but consumers, processors and retailers. Thus, there is a significant gap in terms of branding strategy implications for farmers, in spite of the fact that many farm groups and co-operatives feel that this should be their main marketing goal. This issue becomes more relevant for exporting countries such as Australia given the requirement for country-of-origin labelling in...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: MacAulay,   T. Gordon; Owen,   Kate M.; O'Donnell,   Christopher J.
This paper reports on an expanded and revised version of the spatial equilibrium model of the Australian dairy industry developed by MacAulay (1997). In the expanded version there is demand for five manufactured products. The transformation from bulk milk to final product is modelled by considering milk and dairy products in terms of their primary components, milk fat and protein. For market milk, a variable element was added to the margin to replicate the effects of market power in the processor to retail chain. Some implications for the deregulation of the Australian dairy industry are noted.

Studies which analyze price-quality relations in the consumer goods market are mainly more than ten years old and deal marginally with food products. In this survey, the sceptical findings are confirmed with a special focus on the food market. The results show that food quality, risk avoidance and increase in quality benefits are not determined by price levels. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that private labels in general – and the private labels of the discounter in particular – have a better price-quality ratio than manufacturer brands and private labels of supermarkets and hypermarkets.

The aim of this article is to evaluate Italian consumers’ acceptance and willingness to purchase GM foods based on the type of benefit (input vs output trait) and product (plant based vs animal based). Two surveys were administered in two consecutive years (2004 and 2005) and the data used to test for possible changes in consumer acceptance. The results of a multinomial logit analysis suggest that on average consumer acceptance for plant-based GM food was higher in 2005. This study confirmed the key role of information strategies to consumers, with the most relevant results being the role distorted information play in raising the consumer’s level of fear and perceived risk. Respondents also place a higher level of confidence on scientists who are generally...

The world wine market is facing a particularly difficult situation. Both the EU and New World (NW) Countries are trying to manage this critical moment by filling reciprocal gaps in order to increase their competitiveness at a global level and to strengthen their position in key strategic markets. On the EU side, one of the fundamental aspects of this changing framework is the evolution of the Common Market Organisation (CMO) for the wine sector. The first pivotal change is the fact that a parcel of land cannot host more than one designation of origin (either Geographical Indication – GI – Denominazione di Origine Controllata – DOC – or Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita – DOCG), thus completely changing the approach to vintage choices, which...

This research took from the work of Kohli and Morey in the economics literature to apply a quality derived market share demand function to the international wheat market.  Specifically, a Japanese wheat import demand market share model was derived using data for Hard Red Winter, Hard Red Spring, Canadian Western Red Spring, and Australian Standard White wheat.  Results indicate that the four wheat classes analyzed here are relatively good substitutes for each other, the own-price elasticity for each wheat class is elastic, and the own-characteristic Protein elasticity for Hard Red Winter 13% protein wheat increased over the period analyzed.

Joint evolution of spatial integration and product segmentation on agricultural markets: the case of cereals in Mali
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Aubert,   Magali; Bignebat,   Celine; Egg,   Johny.
Within the context of liberalisation experienced by the Malian economy since the beginning of the 1990s, spatial integration of cereal markets has been considered as a major tool as to avoid localised shortages due to production shortfalls. However, market dynamic reveals since then new patterns: the diversification of urban consumer demand towards "modern cereals", in particular rice and maize, drives the segmentation of the cereal market. As consumer s are likely to substitute traditional cereals, like millet and sorghum, for other cereal types, new market segments emerge. We account for this evolution with a theoretical model à la Hotelling : the good is considered according to two characteristics, the spatial localisation (local market) and the cereal...

The marketing of coffee through group-based, certified market channels is often promoted by governments and donors as a viable business model for poor small-scale farmers. Organic and fairtrade coffees have become very popular among socially, environmentally and health conscious consumers in recent years. While coffee certification programs have been in place for over fifteen years, there are few studies on the welfare impacts of certification schemes. Therefore, this research seeks to analyse the impacts of certification on poverty alleviation and to identify the critical factors which explain success or failure of certification schemes. We use a combination of qualitative and quantitative research, comparing small-scale coffee producers in northern...

Kenyan Supermarkets and Horticultural Farm Sector Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Neven,   David; Reardon,   Thomas.
In Kenya, supermarkets have grown from a tiny n iche at the start of the 1990s to 20% of the urban food retail sector in 2003. Furthermore, Kenyan supermarket chains are increasingly sourcing from global markets and have started to expand their store network in the wider East Africa region. Within this context, this study focused on the farm-level response to the rise of supermarkets and the new challenges and opportun ities they create. The research found that the rise of supermarkets in Kenya has given rise to a new group of medium-sized farms managed by well-educated farmers. Focusing on kale, the research shows that nearly all supermarket-channel farmers have the capacity to supply larger volumes year round and have transportation vehicles, an...

KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Larson,   Ronald B.
Many changes are occurring in food retailing.  Forces driving these changes include the sales gains by supercenter, membership club, and convenience stores, the growing popularity of foodservice, the expansion of private label products (and the response by branded food manufacturers), and the identification of new consumer interests and concerns.  These forces encouraged food processors, distributors, and retailers to improve the efficiency of the food distribution system.  The Efficient Consumer Response and Efficient Foodservice Response initiatives are designed to lower the costs to move products through the system.  These developments in the food distribution system have several important implications for other food and agricultural businesses.

Autores: Bruynis,   Chris L.; Goldsmith,   Peter D.; Hahn,   David E.; Taylor,   William J.
Cooperatives comprise an important part of the American agricultural system. Key factors important to the success of agricultural marketing cooperatives were identified and statistically analyzed using data collected from fifty-two cooperatives. The research quantified the effects of several independent variables on the probability of success. These variables were: sufficient equity before start up, maintaining an adequate business volume, keeping and distributing accurate financial records, importance of previous cooperatives experience and continued management training for both the board and manager, marketing agreements. Based on this research and the comprehensive literature review, marketing cooperatives can increase their chances of success by...

Every now and then, astonishing success stories can be observed on the food market. Many of the recent examples make reference to health characteristics and arguments. In order to analyse the possibly underlying success factors, an empirical case study approach was chosen. 27 successful European Union food marketing cases were purposively sampled from the database of renowned marketing effectiveness awards as well as following a series of food market expert interviews. Success factors were analyzed in a two-step approach, first for each case and then in a case-by-case comparison structured with a card sorting method. Six groups of success factors emerged from the analysis and named "data and knowledge", "emotions", "endorsement", "media", "community" and...

KNOWLEDGE GAPS FACING SMALLER FIRMS IN INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT MARKETING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ruppel,   Fred J.
Knowledge gaps facing smaller firms in the U.S. food processing and distribution industries are discussed in the context of export decisions which these firms must make. The paper focuses on resources available for export assistance to smaller firms. It is argued that much of the assistance available to smaller firms is targeted to logistical problems facing all exporting firms. Less help is available as firms seek assistance in specific market research and product promotion. It is in these areas that land grant universities and federally funded Centers may be the most helpful resources available to smaller firms considering international marketing activities.

Közvetlen értékesítés a zöldség-gyümölcs termelők körében

Autores: Csikne Macsai,   Eva.
A mezőgazdasági termelők körében végzett egyéni interjúkra alapozott kutatás alapján megállapítható, hogy ugyan a közvetlen értékesítést különböző tényezők befolyásolják, de termelés- és munkaszervezésük hasonlóságokat mutat, ami a közvetlen értékesítés munkaerő-szükségletéből adódik, ami egyrészt a minőségi termék-előállításból, másrészt az értékesítés szervezési feladatainak többlet időráfordításából ered. Az üzemek jellemzője továbbá a viszonylag kis méret, a saját földtulajdonra és családi munkaerőre alapozott munkavégzés, valamint a tudatos, piaci igényeket figyelembe vevő termelési szerkezet. A közvetlen értékesítést más értékesítési megoldások mellett alkalmazó gazdaságokban ez a több lábon állást, az értékesítés biztonságát, valamint a magasabb...

Autores: Gyore,   Daniel.
A tanulmány a magyar szőlő-bor ágazatban vizsgálja a közvetlen értékesítés elterjedtségét, valamint a borászok erre való hajlandóságát. A kérdőíves vizsgálat 2010-ben az Egri borvidéken zajlott, melynek eredményei azt mutatták, hogy jelentős eltérés figyelhető meg az egyes borászatok között abban, hogy milyen mértékben és milyen hatékonyan alkalmazzák a közvetlen értékesítés különböző formáit.1 A borok közvetlen értékesítésének legfontosabb eredménye az, hogy megszűnik a termelő feldolgozóval, illetve kiskereskedelemmel szemben fennálló kiszolgáltatottsága. A fogyasztónak közvetlenül értékesített borok nyereségesebbek, mint a közvetítőkön keresztül történő értékesítésnél. A vásárlókkal, borfogyasztókkal közvetlen kapcsolattal növelhető az értékesítés,...

This study highlights the economic interrelations among all boats, focusing on two particular cases, on the one hand the French Channel trawler fleet (1978 to 1980), the Quebec trawler fleet (1974 to 1982) on the other. The present results show the extent of changes in vessel profit or loss productivity and the sacrifice owners and crew have to make in order to survive. Results also show the disparities of situations between the different sorts of vessels within a common bioeconomic environment.

La producción y mercadeo de pequeños pescados pelágicos salados para consumo en áreas rurales
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Bostock, T.; Coulter, J.; Camba, N.; Mora, Y.
La pesca de especies pelágicas pequeñas es para el Ecuador un recurso masivo el cual se aprovecha en más de un 90% para la elaboración de harina de pescado, usada en la alimentación de animales. A pesar del bajo valor de estas especies, cantidades insignificantes de las mismas entran al comercio de pescado fresco, el cual está dominado por especies con un menor contenido de grasas. A cambio se comercializa una cantidad apreciable en productos enlatados (9,349 tm en 1984 solo para el mercado nacional), pero se limita el consumo entre los sectores de más bajos ingresos, a causa del alto costo del envase de hojalata. Este factor favorece la elaboración de un producto salado que no necesita un envase caro para su conservación. Hasta ahora se han identificado...

Labelling Issues of Organic and GM Foods in Australia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
Growth in the demand for organic foods has been phenomenal in the past decade both in Australia and overseas because organic production is seen to be beneficial to both human health and the environment.  In general, organic products commend a price premium over conventional products.  Since organic attributes cannot be verified easily and there is no control over the use of the word 'organic' in the Australian market, the organic label has been subject to abuse.  Over ten years, the Australian organic industry has called for a domestic regulation, claiming that any incidence of consumer deception and product misrepresentation can result in the loss of consumer confidence and sales, and more importantly, hinder future industry growth.  However, the...

Autores: Alexander,   Corinne E.; Patrick,   George F.
Surveys were conducted with participants in the 2008 and 2009 Top Farmer Crop Workshops at Purdue University. These large-scale commercial farmers were asked about changes in the availability of forward pricing contracts and its impact on their marketing program. These producers were also asked about their perceptions of input costs and their management responses to higher input costs, including flexible cash rents. Although these large-scale producers have used a more active management style in response to increased volatility, there is a need for additional education and assistance in both marketing and input acquisition.

LEDGER PROVISION IN HOG MARKETING CONTRACTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hennessy,   David A.; Lien,   Donald.
Some long-term marketing contracts in the North American hog sector provide for price-dependent loan agreements at low rates. We show that these provisions linking pricing with financing are hybrids between forward rate agreements and commodity options. This observation presents approaches for valuing the stipulations. We suggest that the ledger arrangement is transaction-cost efficient, especially for a packer with a natural partial pass-through hedge from retail market positions.

Elle conclut que les circuits commerciaux du pays s’intègrent dans un système commercial régional qui se traduit par des flux ouverts sur les pays voisins (Bénin, Ghana, Burkina) et lointains (Niger, Gabon). L’analyse des marges a permis de constater que le commerce des produits alimentaires est en général viable. Toutefois, les marges nettes demeurent modestes.

The European contract PECOSUDE (Small inshore fisheries of the south of Europe) accepted in 2000 for 2 years concerns French, Spanish and Portuguese partners. The aim is to assess the inshore and estuarine fisheries from Loire estuary to Portugal. Three levels of study are considered : fisheries (data 1999), socioeconomy and marketing (data 1999 or 2000). Exploitation in the 12 miles area for France and on continental shelf for northern Spain and Portugal (within 1000 m depth), as well as the fishing period lower than 96 hours was determined as the definition of this fishery for the study. Socioeconomic analyses are made only on boats smaller than 15 m. The fisheries part analyses the activity of the fishing vessels taking into account gears used, landed...

Autores: Shiferaw,   Bekele A.; Obare,   Gideon A.; Geoffrey,   Muricho; Silim,   Said.
Using survey data from the community, producer marketing groups (PMGs) and farm households in Kenya, this paper investigates the potential of rural institutions (farmer organizations, their rules and enforcement mechanisms) for remedying pervasive market imperfections and facilitate access to new technology in rural areas. Qualitative and quantitative analyses show that while the functioning of markets is constrained by high transaction costs and coordination failures, PMGs present new opportunities for small producers through vertical and horizontal coordination of production and grain marketing. They pay 20 to 25% higher prices than other buyers and facilitate the adoption of improved varieties that help increase marketable surplus. Their accumulated...

Lifting the Wool Curtain: Recent Reforms and New Opportunities in the Chinese Wool Market with Special Reference to the "Up-country" Mills
Provedor de dados: 31

From being an insignificant buyer of Australian wool at the start of the 1980s, China had emerged as Australia's major, if somewhat erratic, customer by the 1992/93 season. Continued development of Sino-Australian trade in wool is vital to the future of the Australian wool-growing industry. This article describes recent market and trade reforms in China and examines their likely impact on wool imports. Particular attention is devoted to the effects the recent changes will have on the up-country mills which represent a poorly understood but potentially significant new market for Australian wool. In many respects the problems/opportunities identified in relation to the up-country mills also exist for many other mills in China which, for various reasons, have...

Limiting Biotechnology? Information Problems and Policy Responses
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Plunkett,   Marni D.; Gaisford,   James D.
The revolution in biotechnology poses pervasive, although not entirely unprecedented, asymmetric information problems. Especially in Europe, but even in North America, there is mounting evidence that consumers do not treat genetically modified foods (GMFs) and their non-modified counterparts as perfect substitutes. If other things such as prices are equal, many consumers would prefer to consume non-GMFs; they perceive GMFs as lower-quality products. While farm-level producers are fully informed on the genetic qualities of their product, final consumers will often be unable to distinguish between the two types of products. Thus, the information structure will only sustain a pooling equilibrium, in which both GMFs and non-GMFs are sold together, or pooled,...

Many researches have been done concerning the study of parameters which make people choose or not such product on the market. Concerning food industry, scientists have been involved in the analysis of technical parameters (nutrition, health characteristics) and their perception by the consumer, and in the analysis of psycho-sociological parameters linked with the perception of the product, or emotion associated with food or its environment. Other parameters investigated are suspicion of novelties, adherence to technology or to natural food, enjoyment, necessity. But what about the effect of words from the socio-psycholinguistic standpoint? It seems to be poorly investigated. Some claims: “It doesn’t matter how important the brand name is to the company,...

LINKAGES BETWEEN CROP INSURANCE AND PRE-HARVEST HEDGING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Kastens,   Terry L.
The impact pre-harvest hedging and crop insurance strategies have on expected revenue and associated risk as well as how producers' risk attitudes affect optimal strategies was analyzed for Kansas wheat farms.  No insurance, Catastrophic (CAT), Actual Production History (APH), and Crop Revenue Coverage (CRC) were considered.  Average revenue was similar across alternatives, but APH and CRC resulted in the least income variability.  Risk reduction effects of hedging were small and the advantage of CRC over APH decreases as hedging increases.  This historical study provides useful information; however, if future market conditions differ significantly from the past, optimal strategies may change.

Linkages between Market Participation and Productivity: Results from a Multi-Country Farm Household Sample
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rios,   Ana R.; Masters,   William A.; Shively,   Gerald E.
We build upon international trade literature to analyze the direction of causality between market participation and productivity.  Cross-country household data from Tanzania, Vietnam and Guatemala are used in a 2SLS approach with market participation and productivity as endogenous variables. Results indicate that households with higher productivity tend to participate in agricultural markets regardless of market access factors.  In contrast, having better market access does not necessarily lead to higher productivity.  This finding suggests that investments in market access infrastructure provide minimal, if any, improvements in agricultural productivity; whereas programs targeted at enhancements in farm structure and capital have the potential to increase...

Linking Farmers to Markets for High-Value Agricultural Commodities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Birthal,   Pratap Singh; Jha,   Awadhesh K.; Singh,   Harvinder.
Growing demand for high-value food commodities is opening up opportunities for farmers, especially smallholders to diversify towards commodities that have strong potential for higher returns to land, labour and capital. But, there is an apprehension about the capability of smallholders to participate in the market-oriented production due to their lack of access to markets, capital, inputs, and technology and extension services. In this paper, possibilities have been explored of linking smallholders to markets through such institutions as cooperatives, growers’ associations and contract farming that reduce marketing and transaction costs and alleviate some production constraints. Evidence has shown that smallholders do participate and make a sizeable...

Linking Farmers to Markets: The Case of Grain Marketing Information in Western Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Odendo,   Martins; De Groote,   Hugo.
Market liberalization created a situation where there are no guaranteed grain prices, no central information source and the need for marketing information increased. Unfortunately, most farmers have little or no access to marketing information. This study evaluates farmers’ perceptions of importance of marketing information; identifies farmers’ sources of grain marketing information; determine farmers’ confidence in and use of marketing information; and assesses determinants farmers’ willingness (WTP) to pay for marketing information. Data used in this study were generated using a structured questionnaire in a survey that covered a random sample of 120 households in traditionally grain surplus-and deficit zones of Kenya. The data were analyzed by...

Autores: Mukhebi,   A.W.; Kundu,   J.; Okolla,   A.; Wambua,   M.; Ochieng,   W.; Fwamba,   G.
This paper highlights a market information and linkage system (MILS) developed and tested by the Kenya Agricultural Commodity Exchange Limited (KACE) that increases the efficiency of agricultural markets to work better for smallholder farmers and other small and medium sized agro-enterprises (SMEs). The MILS involves harnessing modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) to empower farmers with low-cost reliable and timely market information to enhance the bargaining power of the farmer for a better price in the market place, and to link the farmer to markets more efficiently and profitably. The components of the KACE MILS are (www.kacekenya.com): Rural based Market Information Points (MIPs) which are information kiosks located in rural...

Autores: Babu,   Adventina; van de Meerendonk,   Han; Maganga,   C.
Tourism in Tanzania has been on the rise since late 1990s when the markets were fully liberalized. This has created a high demand for horticultural produces from tourist hotels located in Serengeti national park in the northwest of Tanzania. Analysis was carried out to determine supply and demand for horticultural produces in Mara region. The annual requirements for horticulture produces in three Serengeti tourist hotels were about 614 tons. These hotels obtain most of the fruits and vegetables from Arusha, Kenya and South Africa which are very far from the park. Due to long distances and poor roads the hotels obtain high priced, low quality and small quantities of produces. The production of horticulture in Mara region is about 620 tons which is more than...

Autores: Zhang,   Xiaoyong; Qiu,   Huanguang; Huang,   Zhurong.
This study describes how governance mechanisms were formed that link small-scale apple farmers in China with export markets. These institutional innovations have improved the efficiency of price transmission and generated higher profit margins for various actors in the supply chain, in particular for small-scale farmers. Chinese apple exports are highly coordinated through ongoing long term loyal network relationships and vertical integration. Relevant policy implications and further challenges are discussed in the conclusion.

Live and Feeder Cattle Options Markets: Returns, Risk, and Volatility Forecasting
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brittain,   Lee; Garcia,   Philip; Irwin,   Scott H.
The paper examines empirical returns from holding thirty- and ninety-day call and put positions, and the forecasting performance of implied volatility in the live and feeder cattle options markets. In both markets, implied volatility is an upwardly biased and inefficient predictor of realized volatility, with bias most prominent in live cattle. While significant returns exist holding several market positions, most strategies are strongly affected by a drift in futures market prices. However, the returns from selling live cattle puts are persistent, and evidence from straddle returns identifies that the market overprices volatility. This overpricing is consistent with a short-term risk premium whose effect is magnified by extreme changes in market conditions.

Striga hermonthica (del) Benth is threatening rural livelihoods in western Kenya where maize is the major food and cash crop. Vulnerability analysis was conducted on a sample of 802 households in eight districts of Nyanza and Western provinces. Farmers perceived Striga as the major cause of poverty and food insecurity. Both household income and child nutrition indicators showed alarming conditions for the majority of households. The coping strategies and informal safety nets were not capable of addressing the vulnerability issue successfully. A logistic regression model of determinants of poverty was estimated to examine the determinants and correlates of poverty. Results revealed certain characteristics of households that were more likely to be poor: poor...

Livelihoods, Growth, and Links to Market Towns in 15 Ethiopian Villages
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dercon,   Stefan; Hoddinott,   John.
Rural and urban spaces are usually regarded as “separate” in both development theory and practice. Yet there are myriad links between them. Urban areas, including regional urban centers such as local market towns, provide households with new opportunities to sell goods and services. These opportunities increase household income by employing previously unemployed household resources or because households reallocate household resources so as to take advantage of new, more profitable activities. Links to market towns improve the prices received by rural households because households can benefit from increased demand for their goods or because the larger market is better able to absorb production from rural areas without causing prices to decline. These links...

Local and Organic: Substitutes or Complements? An In-Store Evaluation of Labels for Apples
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Costanigro,   Marco; Kroll,   Stephan; Thilmany,   Dawn D.; Nurse,   Gretchen.
Over the past two decades, consumer demand for niche products has grown substantially. The primary objective of this paper is to disentangle the value consumers place on two prominent food claims, organic and local (defined as Colorado Proud in this study) as they relate to fresh produce.  Using primary data from a choice experiment conducted in a grocery store that has conducted co-promotional efforts with the Colorado Proud program, we found the value of the “local” claims trumps that of “organic” in apples.   However, the difference in results between the experiments that offered participants either one- or two-pounds is far more pronounced, illustrating how scaling may influence estimates in such market-based research.

Local Buyer Market Power and Horizontally Differentiated Manufacturers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Shinn-Shyr; Rojas,   Christian; Lavoie,   Nathalie.
In this paper we study a farmer-processor relationship, where market power is bidirectional: processors have buyer as well as seller market power. Farmers supply a homogeneous raw input to the processors, which, in turn, process it into a horizontally differentiated product. The analysis shows that the spread between prices that both parties receive can be decomposed into two components: one due to buyer market power in the agricultural input market and one due to seller market power in the differentiated processed market.  Farmers receive a decreasing dollar share of the final price as concentration in the processed good market increases. On the other hand, the price spread due to processors' buyer (seller) market power decreases (increases) when farmers'...

Farmers selling locally grown food through farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and other local food outlets account for a small, but growing, segment of U.S. agriculture. Consumer demand for locally produced food is driven by demand for freshness, support for the local economy, and personal communication with the producer (see “Varied Interests Drive Growing Popularity of Local Foods” in the December 2010 issue of Amber Waves).

Local Marketing of Organic Food by Certified Organic Processors, Manufacturers, and Distributors
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dimitri,   Carolyn; Jaenicke,   Edward C.; Oberholtzer,   Lydia.
Local organic food is garnering new interest. Using new data from a national survey of certified organic intermediaries, we examine local markets for organic food and assess which firms are likely to market locally. Approximately 25% of survey respondents primarily market their products locally, and 15% of the value of organic food (at the intermediate level) is sold locally. Larger firms are less likely to market locally, firms that handle a greater share of organic products are more likely to market locally, and the likelihood of marketing locally is lower the longer a firm has been certified organic.

Local Monopsony Power in the Market for Broilers - Evidence from a Farm Survey
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Key,   Nigel D.; MacDonald,   James M.
The exercise of monopsony power by broiler processing firms is plausible because production occurs within localized complexes, which limits the number of integrators with whom growers can contract.  In addition, growers face distinct hold-up risks as broiler production requires a substantial investment in specific assets and most production contracts do not involve long-term purchasing commitments by integrators. This paper provides an initial exploration of the links between the local concentration of broiler integrators and grower compensation under production contracts using data from the 2006 broiler version of USDA’s Agricultural Resource Management Survey.  Results of this preliminary study, which accounts for characteristics of the operation and...

We apply nonparametric methods to assess price transmission processes within the EU pig markets. We compare results derived from nonparametric regressions with those obtained using alternative nonlinear threshold models. Results show that nonparametric regressions support the parametric results. However, parametric techniques often suggest a higher degree of price transmission than that implied by threshold models.

Local Polynomial Kernel Forecasts and Management of Price Risks using Futures Markets

Autores: Kim,   MinKyoung; Leuthold,   Raymond M.; Garcia,   Philip.
This study contributes to understanding price risk management through hedging strategies in a forecasting context. A relatively new forecasting method, nonparametric local polynomial kernel (LPK), is used and applied to the hog sector. The selective multiproduct hedge based on the LPK price and hedge ratio forecasts is, in general, found to be better than continuous hedge and alternative forecasting procedures in terms of reduction of variance of unhedged return. The findings indicate that combining hedging with forecasts, especially when using the LPK technique, can potentially improve price risk management.

LOCATION AND MARKETING UNDER MARKETING ASSISTANCE LOAN AND LOAN DEFICIENCY PAYMENT PROGRAMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Saak,   Alexander E.
Marketing assistance loan (MAL) and loan deficiency payment (LDP) programs differ in their treatment of basis. This paper analyzes marketing decisions under these programs when producers are differentiated by location with respect to the terminal market. The developed model may help explain the observed lack of an association between the county loan rate and the share of a county's production enrolled in MAL programs. Under certain conditions, multiple equilibria are shown to emerge. The effects of MAL and LDP programs on welfare and policy implications are discussed.

In a marketing environment, the demand conditions, the costs of shipping and storing grain varieties, the interest rate on farm loans, and the distribution of cropland in the area are important determinants of growers' planting decisions. In this article, I focus on a market for two quality-differentiated agricultural commodities: one produced with the use of biotechnology and the other, without. I develop a model for analyzing the equilibrium planting and marketing decisions made by geographically dispersed producers during the marketing year following harvest. I identify the types of marketing environments leading to a greater concentration of equilibrium acreage planted to a particular grain variety near the market and investigate the effects of the...

Our study uses the data collected during the implementation of the tobacco buyout program in Kentucky to evaluate how rural households, diverse in income, age, family structure, location, education level, and other characteristics, made a choice between annuities and a lump-sum payment. Subjects in our field experiment did not have to retire or change their employment, as did subjects in many field studies of the choice between annuities and lump-sum payments, which allowed us to evaluate the relationship between the option choice and a decision whether to exit the tobacco market. Our results suggest that while discounted utility theory gives acceptable predictions of the farmers’ behavior, other factors have to be taken into consideration. First, there...

MAIZE MARKETS AND RURAL STORAGE IN MOZAMBIQUE: A SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Arndt,   Channing; Schiller,   Rico; Philipsen,   Annelotte.
We employ a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) approach to a spatial and temporal equilibrium model of the maize market in Mozambique.  The MCP approach efficiently captures interactions between transpost costs and interest rates, which captures interactions between transport costs and interest rates, which may differ across agents.  Results indicate that differentials in interest rates significantly impact marketing patterns.

Major farm characteristics and co-op use
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wadsworth,   James J.
This report describes relationships between major farm characteristics and co-op use and membership. Analyses were based on multivariate logit regression. Statistically significant relationships were found between farm size and farm location and co-op use but relationships varied greatly by farm type and type of use activity. No statistically significant relationship was found between co-op use and operator age. Statistically significant relationships were found between co-op membership and farm size, operator age, and farm location. These relationships varied also by farm type. Data for the study are for 1986 and were obtained from surveys by National Agricultural Statistics Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Making a market for Miscanthus: Can new contract designs solve the biofuel investment hold-up problem?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wu,   Steven Y.; Rosch,   Stephanie D.; Alexander,   Corinne E.; Tyner,   Wallace E.; Yoder,   Joshua.
We present designs for optimal contracts to solve the investment hold-up problem for perennial crops for the biofuel industry. A fixed-price contract is ex-ante efficient but renegotiation-proof for a limited range of discount parameters. A perfectly-  indexed contract is both renegotiation-proof and ex-post efficient. Provided long-run land prices are stationary, the expected cost for both contracts converges to the long-run expected price of land for a risk-neutral farmer.

Making business with giants- impact of retail internationalization in Central and Eastern Europe
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hanf,   Jon Henrich; Dautzenberg,   Kirsti; Pall,   Zsombor.
Due to increasingly globalized markets and internationalization, the food retail business has undergone a number of structural changes. Former nationally oriented retailers have suddenly become global. This process in the retail sector affects also new structures in the agribusiness, most notably as general retailers export their business models. A comparison of the development and the impact of globalization in the retail sectors of different Central and Eastern European countries reveal varied opportunities and threats for the participants of agribusiness.

MALAWI AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY EXCHANGE AND SPATIAL RICE MARKET INTEGRATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Katengeza,   Samson P.
There has been a growing debate regarding the role of the government and the effects of agricultural policies and interventions on agricultural markets. This therefore prompted this study to analyse the role of Malawi Agricultural Commodity Exchange (MACE) project as a market-enhancing intervention on aggregate market performance in Malawi using cointegration methods. MACE was introduced to improve agricultural market functioning through market information system. The study specifically examined the extent of spatial rice market integration, causality relationships among spatially separated markets and the dynamic adjustments of rice price series. The study used monthly price series data from 1994 to 2007 obtained from the ministry of agriculture. The data...

Malawi’s Maize Marketing System
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Sitko,   Nicholas J.; Ricker-Gilbert,   Jacob; Mangisoni,   Julius H.
National food security in Malawi depends on improving the performance of maize markets. Ensuring that grain is consistently available at tolerable prices is crucial for consumers’ food security. At the same time, surplus producing farmers need to receive farm-gate prices consistently above production costs to intensify the use of fertilizer and other productivity enhancing technologies in a sustainable manner. These concerns give rise to the classic food price dilemma for policy makers in Malawi: how to keep prices low enough to ensure low income consumers’ access to food while keeping prices high enough to promote farm production incentives. These tensions cannot be avoided but they can be relieved through reducing food marketing margins, which shrink the...

Autores: Warner,   Robert; Bauer,   Marcia.
The Mama Lus Frut scheme was established to increase the productivity of smallholder palm-oil plantations in Papua New Guinea. ACIAR project ASEM/1999/084, ‘Improving Productivity of the Smallholder Oil Palm Sector in Papua New Guinea: a Study of Biophysical and Socioeconomic Interactions’, included an assessment of the impact of the Mama Lus Frut scheme. The ACIAR project was also involved in refining and extending the scheme both geographically and demographically, including extending it from women family members to the community at large. This report describes the effect of the scheme (and therefore indirectly the effect of the ACIAR project) on reducing poverty for smallholder oil-palm producers. It draws upon information from a socioeconomic study of...

Managing customer knowledge during the concept development stage of the new food product development process

Autores: Bogue,   Joe; Sorenson,   Douglas.
New product development (NPD) is a knowledge intensive process where the generation of new ideas and concepts requires detailed knowledge of both products and customers. The high reported failure rates for innovative functional beverages suggest an inability to manage customer knowledge effectively, as well as a lack of knowledge management between functional disciplines involved in the NPD process. This research explored the concept of managing customer knowledge at the early stages of the NPD process, through the use of advanced concept optimisation methods, and applied it to the development of a range of functional beverages. A conjoint - based survey was administered to four hundred customers in Ireland. This research identified two hypothetical...

MANAGING OVERNIGHT CORN PRICE RISKS: E*HEDGING VERSUS TOKYO
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leuthold,   Raymond M.; Kim,   MinKyoung.
This study investigates whether U.S. corn merchants can effectively manage the overnight price risk of cash corn purchased after the Chicago Board of Trade closes at 1:15 p.m. on either the electronic Project A market or in the corn contract traded on the Tokyo Grain Exchange. While neither market provides a very effective alternative using traditional measures of analysis, e*hedging on Project A is more effective than hedging in Tokyo. Both could be very effective for those merchants in the market every day. However, trading of corn futures contracts on Project A remains thin and likely illiquid, limiting its usefulness.

MANAGING PRICE RISK IN COTTON PRODUCTION USING STRATEGIC ROLLOVER HEDGING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Turner,   Steven C.; Heboyan,   Vahe.
Research on rollover hedging for agricultural commodities has focused on the consequences of using existing contracts to substitute for missing long-term contracts. It appears that some grains are candidates for rollover hedging while livestock is not. Cotton was analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of rollover hedging from 1982 to 1999. This paper demonstrates that strategic rollover hedging can be used as a substitute for missing long-term futures market and increase expected returns in cotton production.  The estimated results reported average returns of 62.22, 65.36, 75.80, 79.09, and 69.14 cents per pound for cash sale, single-year hedge, 5, 2.5, and 1% three-year strategic rollover hedging strategies, respectively. Thus, it appears returns for...

Mandatory Labelling: Evidence from the French Fromage Blanc and Yogurt Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Allais,   Olivier; Etile,   Fabrice; Lecocq,   Sebastien.
A number of public health advocates and consumer associations urge policy makers to strengthen nutrient labelling rules, in order to help people to make healthier and better informed food choices. Yet, little is known about the e¤ectiveness of mandatory labelling. This research evaluates the impact of a mandatory fat label policy on consumer choices in the fromages blanc and dessert yogurt market. While fat labels are mandatory since 1988 for fromages blancs, this is not the case for yogurts. This is a natural source of variation to identify separately consumer preferences for labels and for fat. We use a mixed logit discrete choice model and household scanner data collected in 2007 to estimate the distribution of the Willingness-To-Pay (WTP) for fat...

Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Keimig,   R.; Diersen,   Matthew A.; Kim,   Han; Santos,   Joseph M.
The ability of the former voluntary price reporting system to generate market transparency in U.S. livestock markets was called into question by producer groups and academic research prior to the new federal system of mandatory price reporting being implemented.  The market transparency issue is investigated by comparing price data collected from the former AMS voluntary price reporting system to mandatory price reporting data for live slaughter steers collected by the State of South Dakota before the advent of the new federal system.  The relationship between a set of public price report series and the South Dakota mandatory price series is analyzed using cointegration techniques.  The empirical findings indicate a strong long-run and short-run integrated...

Avaliou-se o processo de comercialização de 1.757 lotes de bezerros, totalizando 28.495 animais, incluindo a ordem e o tempo de permanência em pista, as estratégias de divulgação aos compradores e uniformização dos lotes, o preço final (R$/kg de PV) e o número de lances. O modelo proposto foi eficiente em cenários desfavoráveis à atividade de cria. Em períodos de grande oferta de bezerros e preços baixos, todas as variáveis estudadas podem influenciar o preço final por quilograma de peso vivo, o que indica que alguns aspectos fora do controle do produtor, mas bem próximo dele, podem influenciar o valor recebido, portanto, são importantes no acompanhamento do processo de comercialização dos animais.

Many-to-One Matching when Colleagues Matter

This paper studies many-to-one matching market in which each agent’s preferences not only depend on the institution that hires her, but also on the group of her colleagues, which are matched  to the same institution. With an unrestricted  domain of preferences  the non-emptiness of the core is not guaranteed. Under certain conditions on agents’ preferences, we show that two possible situations in which, at least, one stable allocation exists, emerge. The first condition, called Group Togetherness, reflects real-life situations in which agents are more concerned about an acceptable set of colleagues than about the firm hiring them. The second one, Common Best Colleague, refers to markets in which a workers’ ranking is accepted by workers and firms present...

Mapping the competitive food chain for fresh produce retailers in Tshwane, South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Madevu,   Hilton; Louw,   Andre; Ndanga,   Leah Z.B.
Although several previous studies have ascertained that smallholder farmers prefer informal markets, a few vertically integrated retail chains increasingly dominate South Africa’s agro-food supply chain. The onset of this trend has led to the demise of a large number of general dealers in favour of the sleek new stores. However, greengrocers and hawkers in the fresh produce market have proven to be resilient to this onslaught. This resilience is of interest to this study. The study used ‘Porter’s forces’ model and chain analysis to structure the research and seeks to describe and analyse the competitive situation by determining the relative competitive and strategic behaviour of retailers and to map the sector’s value flows. The main findings were that...

Marginal Intra-Industry Trade and Adjustment Costs in the Hungarian Food Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ferto,   Imre.
Recent developments in intra-industry trade (IIT) literature focus on the relationships between IIT and adjustment costs associated with changes in trade pattern. The effects of trade liberalisation depend, inter alia, on whether trade is of an inter-industry or intra-industry nature. The belief that IIT leads to lower costs of factor market adjustment, particularly for labour, gives rise to the smooth-adjustment hypothesis Hungarian agricultural trade was liberalised via WTO agreement and some regional trade integration agreement (Association Agreement, CEFTA). It is reasonable assume that these partial trade liberalisation should have an effect on trade pattern and employment changes. The aim of the paper is to identify the effects of partial trade...

"MARKET":  A DEFINITION FOR TEACHING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Houck,   James P.
This short piece is an abstract, partial equilibrium approach to defining the term "market" in terms useful to students of agricultural economics.  Neither the short, dictionary-style definitions, nor the longer, more discursive descriptions available are altogether satisfactory for teaching students what a market is--especially in terms consistent with the basic theoretical constructs that we insist they learn.  This particular attempt uses familiar concepts of supply and demand but presents them so as to highlight the idea of a "market."

Market Access by Smallholder Farmers in Malawi: Implications for Technology Adoption, Agricultural Productivity, and Crop Income
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zeller,   Manfred; Diagne,   Aliou; Mataya,   Charles.
In Malawi, maize is the major crop and food staple. Given limited off-farm employment opportunities, much-needed increases in household income for improving food security must come from gains in agricultural productivity through better technology and more profitable crops. In the past, agricultural policy promoted hybrid maize and, more recently, tobacco to increase smallholder income. This paper presents an analysis of what determines the adoption of these two crops and what kind of income effects follow from adoption. Apart from factor endowment and exposure to agroecological risks, differences in the household's access to financial and commodity markets significantly influence its cropping shares and farm income.

Market Analysis for Dried Distillers Grain in Indiana
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dooley,   Frank J.
The rapid expansion of the ethanol industry in Indiana has saturated the local market for the principal co-product, distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). In the near term, Indiana’s livestock industry can be expected to consume up to 895,000 tons of DDGS per year. But given production of 2.7 million tons, Indiana’s ethanol producers will rely on railroads and barges to ship excess production to out-of-state destinations. Livestock producers will have a ready access to DDGS across the state.

Although marketing principles and strategies are taught in all major agribusiness management programs in the country, few agribusiness student groups use these very principles in the planning of their own activities. This article describes a market research project developed by the AgriBusiness Association at Colorado State University (CSU) as an example of how to integrate coursework with an undergraduate agribusiness organization's program of activities. In addition to reinforcing marketing principles learned at CSU, the project taught students the importance of setting objectives, research design, and data analysis. Many of the findings were used to plan and improve the club.

Market and Coordination Failures in Poor Rural Economies: Policy Implications for Agricultural and Rural Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dorward,   Andrew; Kydd,   Jonathan; Poulton,   Colin.
This paper argues that the disappointing outcomes of adjustment policies in poor rural economies, principally in sub-Saharan Africa, can be partly attributed to weaknesses in the neo-classical theory which underlies these polices and from associated failures to recognise structural changes (or transitions) in growing agricultural economies. After a brief description of agricultural policy changes in sub Saharan Africa, the mixed achievements of market liberalisation policies are explained using new institutional economic arguments regarding inherent difficulties in economic coordination in poor economies, difficulties which markets themselves cannot overcome.

Market Assessment and Development for Organically Grown Produce in Armenia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Urutyan,   Vardan E.
Until recently it could have been said that organic farming was an intermittent technique limited to only a few countries. However, in the last few years a boom was emerged which has led to a drastically different situation when this technique is widely used in almost all the countries and is currently flourishing. Armenia is not exclusion in this regard. Armenia has the potential for developing high value organic production of a variety products like: fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, honey and aquaculture products, medicinal and culinary herbs. Appropriate altitude from sea level and the climate create favorable conditions for Armenia to grow a variety of organic fruits and vegetables. In particular, Armenia is rich with apples, apricots, pears,...

Market Driven Entrepreneurship: The Convergence of Market Orientation and the Resource Based View
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Micheels,   Eric T.; Gow,   Hamish R.
The dramatically changing marketing structure for agricultural products is forcing agricultural producers to become more entrepreneurial, but what does this mean? How do agricultural producers produce sustainable competitive advantage within a commodity market characterised by homogeneous producers? The convergence of two academic literatures - Market orientation from market strategy and Resource Based View from strategic management – provide a number of insights. In this paper we lay the foundation for research into the market orientation–performance link in terms of production agriculture. Building on the previous market orientation literature, we examine its ability to create a sustainable competitive advantage using a resource based view (RBV)....

MARKET DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH A BEEFPACKING PLANT CLOSING AND A PORKPACKING PLANT OPENING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hornung,   Jonathan T.; Ward,   Clement E.
Previous research has estimated price effects of meat packing plant closings and openings. However, none have been done for plants opening or closing during the last 20 years ago when concentration in meatpacking increased rapidly. Plant openings and closings affect industry slaughtering capacity. Many analysts contribute the lack of processing capacity to handle the large supply of hogs in 1998 a major factor why spot market hog prices plummeted to unprecedented lows. Just eight months after the capacity constraint in slaughter hogs, Maple Leaf Foods opened a hog processing plant in Brandon, Manitoba. A second but opposite event occurred in the beef industry in an area of concentrated cattle feeding and meatpacking. On Christmas day, 2000, the ConAgra fed...

MARKET EXPECTATIONS OF ECOLOGICAL PRODUCTS IN HUNGARIAN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Foldes,   Fruzsina; Goda,   Matyas; Molnar,   Barna.
Within agricultural technologies the environment consciousness, environment saving approaches have become increasingly significant in recent years. The main objective of this trend is to find the proper balance within the human-plant-animal environment. In the last few years, rural policies also encouraged the sustainable way of production in agriculture. Organic farming is one of the opportunities of introducing these theoretical approaches into practise. The paper evaluates the results of a survey made of ecological animal keeping farms. It was found that producers were mainly motivated by their commitments to environmentalism. Considering prospects for the future – taking also aspects of profitability into account – they are optimistic about forthcoming...

Market Forces, Plant Technology, and  Food Safety Technology Use
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Moore,   Danna L.
Economists (Ollinger and Mueller, 2003; Golan et al., 2004) have considered some of the economic forces, such as demands from major customers, that encourage plants to maintain food safety process control.  Other economists, such as Roberts (2005), have identified food safety technologies  that enable better control harmful pathogens.  However, economists have not put the two together.  The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of economic forces, including  firm effects and plant technology, customer demands, and  regulation, on food safety technology use.  Preliminary results suggest that customer demand has the greatest impact.

MARKET INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN LIBERALIZED AFRICAN EXPORT COMMODITY MARKETS: THE CASE OF COCOA AND COFFEE IN COTE D'IVOIRE, NIGERIA AND CAMEROON
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tollens,   Eric.
A performing market information system (MIS) is a key accompanying measure to market liberalization.  The paper discusses the objectives and purposes of a MIS, its ideal characteristics and its concept and implementation, based on experiences with the cocoa and coffee MIS set up and presently operating in three liberalized African export commodity markets.  A phased approach is suggested, with each phase being well defined and launched sequentially.  The timing and location of the MIS unit, the dissemination strategy and the financing are discussed.  An appropriate dissemination strategy is of vital importance to reach all intended beneficiaries.

Market Integration and the Long Run Adjustment of Local Markets to Changes in Trade and Exchange Rate Regimes: Options for Market Reform and Promotion Policies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Badiane,   Ousmane.
A major limitation of the conventional market integration analysis is its neglect of the factors that underlie the cost associated with moving commodities across local markets. For instance, the existence of integrated markets implied by interdependently determined prices and stable spatial and temporal price spreads does not say much about the competitiveness and efficiency of local markets, or about the nature and determinants of the costs of market intermediation. Furthermore, while more efficient methods are being proposed to analyze price interdependence, the implications at the farm level and for agricultural transformation are not part of the analysis. One would, however, expect reforming governments to be more interested in issues such as i) the...

Seasonal unit-root testing and seasonal cointegration methods are employed to investigate the price transmission in U.S. shrimp markets. ARIMA and Vector Error Correction Models (VECM) are used to identify the effect of catastrophic events on individual price series in one region and the spillover effects in the price series for other regions. Results showed that a cointegrating relation exists between neighboring states, specifically between Alabama and Mississippi and Louisiana and Texas. Cointegrating relations also exist between the Gulf States and the Pacific region, but not the Atlantic region, and the price of imported shrimp is cointegrated with each of the domestic shrimp price series. Finally, while Katrina had an effect on shrimp prices in Gulf...

We investigate measurement of market integration of staple food markets in developing countries. The analysis takes the Parity Bound Model as starting point and modifies this model by parameterizing and estimating transaction costs. The specification of transaction costs takes account of transport costs, fixed source costs, fixed destination costs, ad valorem taxes &amp; levies and seasonality an is implemented on the basis of a specific sub-sample of price differentials. Price differentials combined with predicted transaction costs enable the measurement of market integration for each location and each period. The proposed method is applied to the Malawi maize market with monthly data from June 1999 to October 2009 for 26 districts. This period covers two...

Market Interactions in Aquaculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Asche,   Frank; Tveteras,   Sigbjorn.
During the last two decades there has been a tremendous growth in the production of intensively farmed fish.  This growth has been accompanied by a substantial reduction in prices.  As this enhances the competitiveness of farmed fish, concerns are often raised with respect to the market impact of new aquaculture species.  Of particular interest is the relationship to wild species in the output market as well as in the input market because of the demand for feed.  In this paper we investigate what we know about market interactions based on two simple market models, where the difference between the two models is whether the competing product is wild-caught seafood or a traditionally produced product.

MARKET INVERSION IN COMMODITY FUTURES PRICES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yoon,   Byung-Sam; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
In an inverted market, current prices are higher than future prices and thus the price of storage is negative.  Market inversions as measured with futures spreads rarely occur during early months of the crop year.  However, market inversions frequently occur across crop years and near the end of the crop year.  In the last half of the crop year, market inversions clearly reflect a signal to sell stocks.  Too few inversions occur early in the crop year to reach a definitive conclusion for that period.  Behavioral finance offers possible explanations of why producers would hold stocks in an inverted market.

This paper explores the importance of a producer’s market orientation on their subjective performance within agricultural commodity markets. Using a structural equation model of beef producers, our findings suggest that market oriented firms are highly innovative and achieve superior performance. These findings are consistent with previous research on the market orientation-performance relationship in heterogeneous product markets. The cost focus of a firm was also found to have a significant influence on innovation, but no direct effect on performance. This suggests that beef producers should follow a balanced approach utilizing both an external market and an internal productivity focus to achieve superior returns as opposed to solely focusing on internal...

Food processors have seen escalating levels of competition over the past three decades. An underlying objective of this research is to gain a greater understanding of how food companies thrive in the face of this increased competition. This study incorporates market orientation theory (competitor orientation, customer orientation, and interfunctional coordination) and firm innovativeness to explain differences in firm financial performance. A national survey of food processors was conducted and structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. The results show that the more successful firms are more internally focused (interfunctional coordination and innovativeness) than externally focused (competitor and customer orientation).

Data from a survey of 600 consumers in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City was used to estimate a multinomial logit model of market outlet choice based on three alternatives: traditional temporary market outlets, permanent open markets, and modern retail outlets.  Results suggest that market outlet choice by consumers of fresh pork in urban cities of Vietnam is conditioned by factors related to mobility and level of affluence, time budgets, concerns about food safety and hygiene, proximity to market outlets, and geographical...

Autores: van Tilburg,   Aad; Kuiper,   W. Erno; Swinkels,   Rob.
Market performance with respect to a main horticultural export commodity in Bhutan is the subject of this paper. Imperfections in (market) infrastructure and market structure and conduct may prevent an optimal price for farmers. Market performance is assessed by testing the law of one price for this commodity. This is done by testing three series of auction price data on both long-run and short-run price integration. It is concluded that auction prices were interrelated both in the long and short run with one of the three auctions as the price-leading market. Policy implications are suggested.

To provide a stable nitrogen fertilizer supply at a relatively low price, it may be necessary to control natural gas price and/or reduce new import barriers from Middle East and former member states of the Soviet Union, where low cost gas is produced as a byproduct.    Keywords:  Nitrogen fertilizer, oligopoly, economies of size, market power, cost-efficiency.

MARKET POWER AND OFF-INVOICE TRADE PROMOTIONS IN THE US: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Maratou,   Laoura; Gomez,   Miguel I.; Just,   David R.
This article employs a Tobit model to examine whether the market power of manufacturers and retailers influence trade promotion decisions in the US food sector. Greater retailer market power increases allocation of funds to off-invoice trade promotions. We find evidence that the balance of power favors food retailers.

Market Power and Structural Adjustment: The Case of West African Cocoa Market Liberalization
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilcox,   Michael D.; Abbott,   Philip C.
Liberalization of the cocoa market in West Africa, due to structural adjustment reforms, has resulted in the elimination of para-statal marketing boards and initiated the creation of new institutions to replace the marketing services of those agencies. Concerns have been raised as to the effects of these reforms on prices of cocoa received by farmers, welfare measures and competitiveness of marketing channels. Of particular importance is backward integration of multinational processing firms, who take over exporting activities and may collect rents previously captured as export taxes. This paper uses a conjectural variations approach to estimate the degree of market power present in the post-liberalized cocoa bean markets of Ivory Coast and Nigeria....

Market Power and Supply Shocks: Evidence from the Orange Juice Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Honglin; Xiang,   Qing; Reardon,   Thomas.
The orange juice market is a “weather market” because of its high geographical concentration and the natural characteristics of orange trees. A few hours of a freeze in Florida is enough to cause a supply shock to the orange juice market. How do oligopolistic firms react to supply shocks – do they become more collusive or more competitive? This paper empirically examines the proposition and finds that the level of market power of orange juice firms decreases significantly, and the market becomes more competitive during supply shocks even though prices rise.

MARKET POWER IN BEEF PACKING:  FEEDLOT "CAPTURE" AND ITS CAUSES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hunnicutt,   Lynn; Crook,   Michelle; Bailey,   DeeVon.
Concentration in the beef packing industry has been rising for the past 25 years.  Many studies of market power in beef packing are based on the conjectural variations framework, which depends on accurate estimates of packer input and processing costs.  We propose an alternative measure of packer behavior which does not rely on estimates of packer costs.  We also suggest how this measure could be used to draw tentative conclusions regarding packer behavior.

Autores: Lloyd,   Tim A.; McCorriston,   Steve; Morgan,   C. Wyn; Rayner,   Anthony J.; Weldegebriel,   Habtu T.
Establishing the presence of market power in food chains has become an increasingly pertinent line of enquiry given the trend towards increasing concentration that has been observed in many parts of the world. This paper presents a theoretical model of price transmission in vertically related markets under imperfect competition. The model delivers a quasi-reduced form representation that is empirically tractable using readily available market data to test for the presence of market power. In particular, we show that the hypothesis of perfect competition can be rejected if shocks to the demand and supply function are significant and correctly signed in price transmission equations. Using a cointegrated vector autoregression, we find empirical results that...

Market Reforms, Spatial Price Dynamics, and China's Rice Market Integration: A Causal Analysis with Directed Acyclic Graphs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Awokuse,   Titus O.
Previous studies on post-reform market performance of Chinese grain markets have produced mixed results. This paper employs province-level price data to determine if China's food market liberalization policies in the 1990s resulted in interregional rice market integration. Furthermore, this study extends the literature on spatial market integration by augmenting multivariate cointegration modeling techniques with directed acyclic models (DAGs), a recently developed statistical method for analyzing contemporaneous causal relationships. While the empirical results confirm the existence of strong market linkages subsequent to the reforms of the early 19902, the linkages became less as the Chinese government reversed several reform policies in the mid-1990s....

Market Risk and Volatility in the Brazilian Stock Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yoshino,   Joe Akira.
We estimate in this paper the market risk implied by the prices of different options traded in the Brazilian stock market. The fundamental theory to handle this problem is the one implied by the Arrow-Debreu contingent claim concept. Using that theory, we are able to construct the term structure of market risk, and to obtain a surface that provides slices for a particular “volatility smile.” The methodology that we use follows the one proposed by Shimko (1993), which is able to calculate a non-lognormal probability density function (PDF) consistent with the volatility observed in a relatively small sample of option prices. This methodology goes beyond the one proposed originally by Black and Scholes (1973), since it does not require log-normality of the...

Market Segmentation Practices of Retail Crop Input Firms
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Reimer,   Aaron; Downey,   W. Scott; Akridge,   Jay T.
The farmers targeted by crop input retailers may be divided into distinct groups or segments, but retail crop input firms vary in their ability to implement strategies to serve individual segments. In this study, segmentation practices among cooperatives and independently owned crop input retailers were explored. Addressing gaps between Best’s seven-step market segmentation framework and retailer practices will help practitioners serve evolving farmer-customers.

MARKET SEGMENTATION PRACTICES OF RETAIL CROP INPUT FIRMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Reimer,   Aaron; Akridge,   Jay T.; Boehlje,   Michael; Gray,   Allan W.
While market segmentation and the associated idea of target marketing are not new, there are questions about how the strategy of market segmentation and target marketing is being used in retail agribusiness firms. Previous research has demonstrated that distinct groups of farmers/customers exist (Alexander). However, retail crop input firms tend to be of modest size and are geographically bound. Both lack of resources and confinement to a specific geographic market present challenges for successful implementation of a market segmentation/target marketing strategy (Stolp). In this study, market segmentation/target marketing practices were explored in two types of crop input retailers: independently owned and operated firms (9 firms) and agricultural...

Market Structure and Environmental Innovation

Autores: Montero,   Juan-Pablo.
This paper studies firms’ incentives to invest in environmental R&amp;D under different market structures (Cournot and Bertrand) and environmental policy instruments (emission standards, taxes, tradable permits and auctioned permits). Because of market strategic effects, R&amp;D incentives vary widely across market structures and instruments. For example, when firms’ products are strategic substitutes (i.e., Cournot), either emission standards, taxes or auctioned permits can provide the most incentives. But when firms’ products are strategic complements, either taxes or auctioned permits provide the most incentives. If markets are perfectly competitive, however, permits and emission standards offer similar incentives that are lower than those offered by...

MARKET STRUCTURE AND INNOVATION INTENSITY IN AGRICULTURAL BIOTECH

Autores: Schimmelpfennig,   David E.; Pray,   Carl E.; Brennan,   Margaret F.
Consolidations and spin-offs in the agricultural biotechnology industry and the growing links of multinational corporations with the food and feed industry have been the subject of considerable discussion among academics, policy makers, consumers, and farmers.  Most of the research by academic and  overnment institutions has focused on the reasons for consolidation.  Little theoretical or empirical research has examined the impact of this consolidation.  We adapt an endogenous growth model of industry structure and R&amp;D to agricultural biotechnology and empirically estimate the model.   These empirical estimates, the main focus of the paper, indicate that industry consolidation influences the amount and direction of research, which then feeds back to...

The effect of retail grocery market structure on the speed of adjustment of retail food prices to changes in producer prices, real wages, and the cost of energy was examined for SMSAs. Evidence failed to support the implication of the Mason-Bain paradigm that increased concentration reduces market efficiency as reflected in speed of retail price adjustment. Evidence of strong intertemporal relationships between change in producer prices and retail prices found for the categories meat, poultry, fish, eggs and cereal and baker products provide support to the hypothesis of cost-push inflation.

Market Structure and the Penetration of Alternative Energy Technologies

Energy market prices ignore external effects, hence miss-allocate energy generation between (polluting) fossil fuels and (clean) solar technologies. Correcting the failure requires understanding the market allocation forces at hand. An important feature of solar energy is that its cost of supply is predominantly due to upfront investments in capital infrastructure (rather than to the actual supply rate) and this feature has far reaching implications for the market allocation outcome. Studying the market allocation process, we specify the conditions under which solar technologies penetrate the energy sector. The framework is then used to analyze policy regulation in the form of taxing fossil energy and subsidizing investments in solar energy. The first...

Autores: Shaik,   Saleem; Allen,   Albert J.; Edwards,   Seanicaa; Harris,   James.
Stochastic frontier analysis, which is used to estimate the technical efficiency, is extended to examine the market structure, conduct and performance hypothesis for the U.S. trucking industry. The technical efficiency measure takes into account not only the relationship between inputs used in the production of output but also simultaneously examine the importance of market structure conduct factors on the performance of the firm. An empirical application to U.S. trucking carriers over the period 1994-2003 is examined. Results reveal that the variables average haul, average load, debt-to-equity and market concentration significantly affected technical efficiency. Capital, fixed and variable input variables were significant in the production function...

The surface freight industry was deregulated in 1980.  The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between profitability and market power in the trucking industry that transport agricultural commodities.  Fulfilling this objective would allow us to determine whether the market structure that has emerged is one that is based on competition.  The research method will be based on the structure-conduct-performance paradigm.  Results of this study indicated that efficiency is the driving force behind performance of firms.  These suggest that the 1980 Motor Carrier Act had produced its intended purpose in the agricultural commodities transport industry.

Market trends of seafood products under international constraints: contractualisation, marketing strategies and new behaviours
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gouin,   Stephane; Charles,   Erwan; Boude,   J.P.
In the developed countries, especially in the European Union, demand for seafood products has increased very quickly (faster than that of meat products). This growth may be explained by the recurring problems of animal health impacts on other products (bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), avian influenza (bird flu)...) and to the impacts of the environmental problems (dioxins...) which are less prevalent in seafood products. In addition, seafood products profit from an increasingly positive image positioned on the axis of nutrition- health. The enhancement of the markets is influenced more and more by the retailing channel (hyper and supermarkets). Indeed, France profits from being a pioneer in retailing, (more than 70% of the seafood market is through...

Market Valuation of Preconditioning Feeder Calves
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Avent,   R. Keith; Ward,   Clement E.; Lalman,   David L.
Preconditioning calf programs, while not new, are becoming more prevalent. They provide benefits to cow-calf producers while adding value for feeder cattle buyers. However, questions remain regarding the economic costs and returns of such programs. A model was estimated with data from three consecutive-day sales, to determine the value that buyers place on preconditioning programs and related feeder cattle traits. Our results indicate that price premiums, although evident, appear to be insufficient by themselves to cover the marginal costs of preconditioning.

Market Value Maximization through Strategic Delegation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Shinn-Shyr; Stiegert,   Kyle W.
In this paper, we develop a model of strategic delegation in which shareholders maintain an objective of market value maximization (MVM) of the firm's assets as measured by a capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Optimal delegation requires that managers maximize a linear combination of expected profits and firm values. An interesting feature of this model is that optimal delegation contracts of the MVM objective mitigate competition relative to standard price and quantity duopoly outcomes. In the MVM model, the delegation encourages managers to control systematic risk, which leads to greater market coordination, higher profits, and higher stock values. Impacts of degree of product differentiation on delegation under price and quantity competitions are also...

MARKETING AGENCIES AND THE ECONOMICS OF MARKET SEGMENTATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Martin,   S.K.; Zwart,   A.C.
Increasing importance is being attached to market segmentation strategies as a means of increasing producer returns. In this paper, a generalised model of price discrimination without supply control is developed to analyse the implications of optimal segmentation strategies for non-homogeneous products. It is shown that the magnitude of producer returns is dependent on demand and supply conditions, with increases in returns falling as price elasticities of demand and supply increase. The model is applied to the New Zealand sheep meats industry to reveal that returns to producers from market segmentation strategies could be quite low in the long run.

Marketing Agreement, Food Safety and Contract Design
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Liang,   Jing; Jensen,   Helen H.
Recent outbreaks of food-borne illness related to fruit and vegetables have led to increased concerns about the safety of produce. In response, the industry has adopted marketing agreements to ensure consistency of product safety. Contracts now are widely used between processors and growers to specify product safety attributes. This paper uses a principal-agent model to examine how the inclusion of a marketing agreement influences the behavior of growers and processors under processor-grower contracts. We conclude that: (1) the processor offers a contract with a higher premium and a lower base payment under the contract with a marketing agreement (2) contract parameters change in similar manner under the two contracts (3) under a contract with a marketing...

The study of marketing margins and price transmission on various commodity markets has been a popular research topic of the past decades (see MEYER, VON CRAMONTAUBADEL, 2004, for a recent survey), however with a few exceptions these studies focused on developed economies. In this paper we examine the above phenomena on the: Hungarian pork market. The Johansen (maximum likelihood) or Engle and Granger (two step) cointegration tests do not reject the no-cointegration null hypothesis between the Hungarian pork producer and retail price series. Therefore we apply the Gregory and Hansen procedure with recursively estimated breakpoints and ADF statistics, and found that the prices are cointegrated with a structural break occurring in April 1996.

MARKETING ASPECTS OF THE MICHIGAN POTATO INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fabre,   Michel.
The Michigan potato industry has undergone major transformations in the last twenty-five years.  In Michigan the number of farms harvesting potatoes in 1969 was 1.4% of what it was in 1945.  Since that date acreage in potatoes in the state decreased by two thirds.  The industry deeply felt the shift in consumption from fresh potatoes to processed potato products.  The industry has been a stagnant portion of the state agricultural economy with around 2% of the cash receipts from marketings since 1960.  Yet there are some indications that the Michigan potato industry has a good potential which could be realized, if certain modifications in the way it markets its products were implemented.  This paper focuses on the market for potatoes in their raw form, as...

Marketing auf Wochenmärkten

Autores: Elsasser,   Andrea; Benner,   Eckhard; Becker,   Tilman C.
Seit Jahrhunderten sind Märkte in Städten ein Zeichen für Wohlstand und geregelte Verhältnisse. Das Marktrecht verlieh einer Stadt Macht und Ansehen. Von überall her aus der Umgebung kamen die Bauern und Händler um ihre Waren feil zu bieten. Auf den Wochenmärkten erstreckt sich heute das Warenangebot von Obst und Gemüse über Käse, Fleisch, Eiern und Brot bis hin zu eingelegten südländischen Spezialitäten. Diese Vielfalt, Frische, Qualität und Auswahl lockt Kunden und Besucher, die sehen, riechen, probieren, nachfragen und staunen – und kaufen. Für diese breite Erlebnispalette sind die Verbraucher auch bereit, etwas mehr zu bezahlen. Für die Stadt kann ein Wochenmarkt Vorteile bringen. Der Wochenmarkt lässt sich ins Stadtmarketing integrieren, zum Beispiel...

Marketing Australia's Wheat Crop: The Way Ahead
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ryan,   Timothy J.
The 1989 Wheat Marketing Act has set in motion forces, in particular the deregulation of the domestic market for wheat and the establishment of the Wheat Industry Fund, which have irrevocably altered the way in which wheat and other grains are marketed in Australia. This article examines these forces and subsequent developments and seeks to address which marketing structure is best suited to maximise the position of Australian growers into the next century. Using some tenets drawn from industrial organisation economics, the international grain market and the current Australian system are discussed. Some benefits from the operation of the Australian Wheat Board are postulated and a discussion of continuing developments possibly leading to a corporatised AWB...

MARKETING CHANNELS COMPETE FOR U.S. STOCKER CATTLE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schmitz,   Troy G.; Moss,   Charles B.; Schmitz,   Andrew.
This study investigates the underlying reasons for a producer's choice of marketing channels for stocker cattle in the United States. In addition to traditional public auctions, private sales, video auctions, and Internet auctions have been recently used in the marketing of stocker cattle. Findings show that while the number of marketing options may have increased in recent years, only relatively large producers can actually take advantage of these options. The marketing options for smaller producers are still limited due to their relative size. Also, the number of cattle marketed privately and through video and Internet auctions is found to be positively correlated with herd size. In addition, the New Institutional Economics (NIE) provides insights into...

MARKETING COLORADO POTATOES AS A VALUE-ADDED PRODUCT: A CASE STUDY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hine,   Susan E.; Loureiro,   Maria L.; Meyer,   Susan E.
Potato producers in Colorado (and nationwide) have been facing a continued downward trend in potato commodity prices.  In an attempt to increase demand for potatoes, these growers had Colorado State University (CSU) researchers perform a market study regarding the viability of marketing a value-added potato.  A survey was performed which asked consumers to identify important potato characteristics, their willingness to pay for these characteristics, and what might prompt them to purchase more fresh or processed potatoes in the future.  This paper discusses the results and recommendations that CSU made to the Colorado potato producers.

Marketing, Co-operatives and Price Heterogeneity: Evidence from the CIS Dairy Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sauer,   Johannes; Gorton,   Matthew; White,   John.
Drawing on survey data, this paper identifies the determinants of variations in farm gate milk prices for three CIS countries (Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine). We apply a multi-level modeling approach, specifically a bootstrapped and selectivity bias corrected mixed-effects linear regression model. The analysis suggests three main strategies for farmers to improve the price received for their output: consolidation, cooperation and stable supply chain relationships. While selling through a marketing cooperative has a significant and positive effect on farm gate milk prices, the majority of non-members are reluctant to join. The size of dairy operations, trust and contracting also impact positively on the prices received by farmers. Policy implications are...

We apply a multi-level modeling approach, specifically a bootstrapped mixed-effects linear regression model. The analysis suggests three main strategies to improve the price received by farmers for their output: consolidation, competition for output and stable supply chain relationships. In Armenia and Ukraine selling through a marketing cooperative has a significant, positive, albeit modest, effect on farm gate milk prices. In all three countries studied, the size of dairy operations, trust and contracting also affect positively the prices received by farmers.

For developed societies, if only for an interest in the maintenance abroad of a leadership position, there are the needs for protection of the national investments overseas, for assurance of raw materials that may be needed, or for reflecting the increasing concern with development underway among underdeveloped nations.  In the underdeveloped countries in general, where today about two thirds of the world population live, there is a widespread awareness that their economies are not keeping pace with the more developed nations, a great desire to speed up the growth of the various sectors of the national...

MARKETING INEFFICIENCIES IN OKLAHOMA'S PRODUCE INDUSTRY: GROWER AND BUYER PERCEPTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Henneberry,   Shida Rastegari; Willoughby,   Charles V.
Fruit and vegetable production is relatively new for many Oklahoma producers. A major concern for growers is marketing. Responses from a survey of growers and buyers were used to identify structural characteristics and marketing activities in the Oklahoma produce industry. The survey results suggest that direct marketing outlets are the most often used. However, the majority of respondents are interested in using new outlets. Oklahoma producers can meet the demands of quality in indirect marketing channels, but some of the required post-harvest service can be very costly for many of the small volume producers.

A random sample of 200 Ohio fruit producers were surveyed in January 1988, regarding their use of information for decision making.  Survey responses were used to determine if improved marketing information increases the likelihood of Ohio fruit producers gaining a larger share of Ohio's produce market.  Results from the production adequacy equations show that larger producers and those marketing a predominate share of their fruit through wholesalers and retailers are the ones most likely to agree that their fruit production is limited by insufficient marketing information.  These results suggest an opportunity for Ohio to gain a larger share of the produce market.

MARKETING INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IN JORDAN
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Qat,   Yousef M.
The partial or complete failure of agricultural development programs in developing countries is often due to the lack of understanding by decision makers at all levels of the marketing links. Marketing is often conceptualized and understood only as a process of assembling produce in rural or wholesale markets. Other aspects and roles of marketing mainly as incentives for production are often not well understood. Thus, the process of improving development policies often depends on trial and error, and can be generally enhanced with more accurate information. On the other hand, notions about marketing that are wrong or based on half-truths are accumulated over the years and passed on from generation to generation as facts. The lack of market research results...

Key point of the survey is represented by the fact that Hungarian agricultural products had to face turbulent market conditions, heavy concurrency and sharp import competition in the European Union. A possible way of keeping or strengthening market positions is to acquaint the values of native, traditional and region-specific products (Hungaricums). Present survey focuses on analyzing the marketing possibilities of Hungarian Grey cattle and Mangalica pig along with their products. Representatives of companies producing, processing and trading mangalica and grey cattle products were interviewed and in order to define the consumers’ preferences focus group interviews were taken. Interest of consumers for such products grew by leaps and bounds last year but...

The explicit evaluation of the post-harvest losses at different stages of marketing and their impact on farmers’ net price, marketing costs, margins and efficiency have been presented. It has been found that the existing methods tend to overstate the farmers’ net price and marketing margins of intermediaries. In fact, the margin of the retailers’ after taking into account the physical loss during retailing has been found to be negative (loss), which otherwise, was positive (profit) in the conventional estimation. Similarly, the producers’ net share and wholesalers’ margins also decrease substantially. It has been shown that marketing efficiency is inversely proportional to the marketing losses. The co-operative marketing has been found to be a more...

In the EU, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), which constitute the majority of firms in the food industry, are fighting for survival as they face growing market competition from large firms (Knight, 2000). On the other hand, market opportunities for SMEs are connected to the evolution of consumer preferences toward food quality, especially for traditional food products (O’Reilly and Haines, 2004). To profit from such opportunities SMEs need to adapt their strategies, focussing on consumer requirements and improving their marketing activities. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the marketing capabilities of SMEs producing traditional food products. Following the theoretical approach of Market Orientation (Kara et al., 2005; Jaworski and Kohli,...

Other assumptions on the production technology include the use of a single agricultural input to produce multiple outputs, and substitutability between agricultural and non-agricultural inputs. Two alternative methods are used to decompose the price of manufacturing milk into the prices of components used to produce different manufacturing milk products.

Food retailers representing four retailer types (family operated grocery stores, produce markets, meat/egg/dairy markets, and convenience stores) in rural Georgia communities were surveyed as to their marketing objectives. Qualitative marketing objectives were ranked by the marketers as to marketing intentions, and by customers as to marketing expectations. More definitive and quantitative marketing objectives were also ranked by the food retailers as to the priority of implementation in their own retail establishment. Differences in the rank order of marketing objectives were observed within and among the four food retailer categories. Without exception, subtle differences in the rankings occurred.

An expected-utility model and a chance-constrained linear programming model were used to analyze four marketing strategies and seven crop insurance alternatives for cotton marketing in Georgia.  The results suggest that existing marketing tools and insurance alternatives can be used to reduce cotton producers' revenue risk.  The optimal level of yield and price insurance coverage depends on an individual producer's risk aversion.

After a series of food safety crises during the 1990s, regulators, producers, and retailers alike are trying to regain consumer confidence by redesigning legislation and quality-assurance programs.  These programs focus on process innovation, traceability, and identity preservation of products.  This paper reviews current developments in the European food and retail industry.  Hypotheses on the link between structural adjustments in the food production and marketing chain and the provision of safe food emerge.  In addition, we report results from a survey on consumer perception of food-safety attributes and discuss the opportunities for and limits of marketing safe food through labels.

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...

MARKETING ORDER SUSPENSIONS AND FRESH LEMON RETAIL-FOB MARGINS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Kagan,   Albert; Mischen,   Pamela; Adu-Asamoah,   Richard.
In August 1994, the Secretary of Agriculture announced the termination of the marketing order and the association flow-to-market, or prorate, controls for fresh California and Arizona (CA/AZ) lemons. Lemon growers and handlers have expressed concern over the impact of this decision on retail-FOB margins. This study presents an econometric model of fresh lemon marketing margins that tests for the presence of buyer and seller market power during previous periods of marketing order suspension. The results show that buyer and, to a lesser extent, seller market power cause retail-FOB margins to widen during periods of prorate suspension.

Marketing Policy Options for Consumer Price Mitigation Actions in the 2008/09 Maize Marketing Season in Zambia.
Provedor de dados: 31

1) Maize prices are rising rapidly in 2008 and are fast approaching import parity levels. 2) Maize traders, millers and farmers all agree that Zambia will likely require imports by early 2009 in order to avoid domestic maize supply shortages. 3) Official food balance sheets appear to have underestimated the demand for maize this year. They may also have slightly overestimated the size of the 2007/08 maize crop. Hence the slow government recognition of the need for maize imports. 4) As of late September 2008, neither the Government of Zambia (GRZ) nor the private sector have arranged to import maize from South Africa. Trade sources suggest informal imports from Tanzania are helping to relieve the likely shortfall. 5) Zambian policy makers face a delicate...

MARKETING POLICY REFORM AND COMPETITIVENESS: WHY INTEGRATION AND ARBITRAGE COSTS MATTER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Badiane,   Ousmane.
The response of local markets to sectoral and macroeconomic policy changes is a key determinant of the long term impact of policy reforms on reforming economies. In other words, changes in arbitrage costs that are associated with policy reforms as well as the level of integration among local markets exert a strong influence of the economic outcome of reform programs. The objective of this paper is to explore this question theoretically and empirically. A model that can be used to capture the long term process that is involved has been developed and tested using data from Ghana. The model is later applied to analyze the outcomes of further liberalization of groundnut markets in Senegal. The findings highlights the potential cost of failing to pay sufficient...

Marketing Portfolio Choices by Independent Peach Growers: An Application of the Polychotomous Selection Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Florkowski,   Wojciech J.; Park,   Timothy A.; Bilgic,   Abdulbaki.
In selecting a marketing channel for fresh peach sales, Georgia commercial peach growers choose the channel after accounting for buyers' preferences for quality attributes.  Using the polychotomous selection model and survey data we identified external and internal quality attributes as essential factors influencing the choice of a marketing channel and the share of the crop marketed. Other factors influencing the choice and the volume sold through each marketing channel included orchard characteristics and the variety-determined fruit maturity.

MARKETING PRACTICES AND MARKET CHANNEL UTILIZATION BY MISSISSIPPI SOYBEAN PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hudson,   Darren; Jones,   Tom.
This paper examines current marketing practices by Mississippi soybean producers as well as willingness to participate in a marketing cooperative and willingness to plant Identity Preserved soybeans. In general, most Mississippi soybean producers utilize cash sales at harvest or forward contracting as primary marketing tools. Use of futures and options is found to increase with farm size. Willingness to participate in a marketing cooperative (pool) is found to be effected by use of cash sales at harvest as a primary marketing tool, money spent on gathering marketing information, previous experience with marketing pools, and age of the respondent. Willingness to plant Identity Preserved soybeans is directly related to offered premiums.

The National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) Beef '97 Study collected data on the marketing practices of 2,713 beef cow-calf producers representing 85.7% of all beef cows as of January 1, 1997, in 23 leading cow-calf states. Of the operations included in the study, 67.4% sold steer calves, and 52.1% sold heifer calves for slaughter in the year preceding the study. By number of operations, auction was the most common method of selling steers (84.9% of operations) and private treaty was the second most popular marketing method (10.4% of operations). By number of steers sold, private treaty was the most common marketing method. For operations selling either steer or heifer calves, smaller operations were more likely to use auctions as a marketing...

Irrigation vegetable farmers in Seymour District, Eastern Cape, have had problems concerning market access. Initial action by the researcher showed that problems can be solved. A survey showed younger farmers to be better educated, more businesslike and more eager to solve problems than older farmers. The unavailability of transport, poor infrastructure, lack of market information and to a lesser extent, dishonesty of some traders are major problems for these farmers. The community involved should be regarded as progressive, and can be expected to prosper once their problems have been solved.

Marketing Promotion of Texas Agricultural Products: The Rural Dimension of the GO TEXAN Program

Autores: Malaga,   Jaime E.; Xu,   Bin; Martinez-Mejia,   Pablo.
The Texas Department of Agriculture launched the GO TEXAN marketing promotion program in 1999 to support Texas agricultural and food production. The underlying assumption is that if successful, the program would support directly or indirectly the demand for Texas agricultural production and the well-being of the state’s rural population. This research analyzes responses to an official 2008 survey sent to the GO TEXAN program beneficiaries. Overall, this study suggests that not all activities in the program have a clearly positive impact. Participation in trade shows, retail promotion and media events, and reverse trade missions seem to have a significant effect on sales increase as well as the use of the program logo on promotional items and web sites.

MARKETING RESPONSES TO CHANGING CONSUMER PREFERENCES IN THE FRESH BEEF INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Procopio,   Mary Elizabeth.
The fresh meat industry is changing the way it markets its products. The decline in red meat consumption that has resulted from greater consumer concerns about the "healthfulness" of red meat, coupled with changes in consumer lifestyles emphasizing a need for convenience is contributing to the diminishment of "commodity selling" in favor of a true "marketing" approach (Pierson and Allen, 1986). In a traditional industry such as meats, the shift from a commodity-selling perspective (i.e., selling of homogeneous goods) to a marketing (i.e., selling of homogeneous goods) to a marketing (i.e., marketing of differentiated goods) perspective is a slow transition. The fresh beef industry is moving toward the adoption of this contemporary food marketing strategy...

Autores: Rossetto,   Luca.
The Italian organic wine sector has dramatically increased, recently. In the last two years, the organic vineyard area has doubled reaching more than 50.000 hectares, while organic wineries account are more than 9.000 farms. In particular, the Veneto Region accounts for 4% of total area and for 15% of organic wine makers. This study analyzes the organic wine sector in the Veneto Region mainly focusing on marketing issues.  Two organic wine enterprises are recognized: 1) small wine growers and 2) large-size wineries. The former are specialized in producing organic grapes while the latter are highly specialized in both cultivating grapes and processing wine employing sophisticated technology, especially in making wine. Almost total production is certified...

Substantial progress was made to establish a market for organic and non-certified organic produce in the Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN area.  Partnerships were established early-on with two local grocery store chains, in part, due to professionally produced sales material from an already established organic marketing group.  Local farmers improved sales through direct methods -- a farmers market and farm stands -- as well as through retailers - two local grocery store chains.  Initial retail sales of certified organic products at grocery stores was promising, and served to demonstrate to produce managers that demands for organics does exist in Fargo-Moorhead.  Labeling and packaging local organic products proved difficult because only bulk quantities of bar...

Marketing System and Market Structure for Secondhand Tractors in Punjab

Autores: Singh,   Karam; Rangi,   P.S.
The secondhand tractor markets in Punjab have assumed special significance. Around 20000 tractors are transacted annually in these markets, which are generally held on a fixed day of the week specific for each market. About 80 % of the secondhand tractors sold pass through the marketing channel: Farmer ! Agent / Sub-agent ! Farmer. The markets are unorganized and unregulated. The market place is also not proper, congested, costly, inconvenient with hardly any facility. Generally the large farmers sell their secondhand tractor to replace with a new one and the small farmers purchase the secondhand tractor. The price determination is fairly competitive. The distress sale has not been ruled out but has declined with escalation in land prices. The malpractices...

Marketing Systems, Performance and Impediments to Product Differentiation

The structure of the agriculture sector in Australia appears to pose a fundamental constraint to 'product marketing' and 'value-adding' initiatives. A case is presented in this paper for the degree of search activity for differentiation and expansion opportunities to be related to measures of performance. Criteria are presented for the identification of the appropriate market level for an organisation to target within a vertical marketing system and these are then analysed with a view to identifying appropriate grounds for policy intervention by government to modify incentives in such systems. It is argued that grounds can exist for intervention because of increased consumer information even in markets which are contestable and that agribusiness provides...

Marketing U.S. Organic Foods:  Recent Trends From Farms to Consumers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dimitri,   Carolyn; Oberholtzer,   Lydia.
Organic foods now occupy prominent shelf space in the produce and dairy aisles of most mainstream U.S. food retailers. The marketing boom has pushed retail sales of organic foods up to $21.1 billion in 2008 from $3.6 billion in 1997. U.S. organic-industry growth is evident in an expanding number of retailers selling a wider variety of foods, the development of private- label product lines by many supermarkets, and the widespread introduction of new products. A broader range of consumers has been buying more varieties of organic food. Organic handlers, who purchase products from farmers and often supply them to retailers, sell more organic products to conventional retailers and club stores than ever before. Only one segment has not kept pace—organic farms...

Autores: Chuhay,   Roman.
The paper studies the impact of homophily on the optimal strategies of a monopolist, whose marketing campaign of new product relies on a word of mouth communication. Homophily is a tendency of people to interact more with those who are similar to them. In the model there are two types of consumers embedded into a social network, which differ in friendship preferences and desirable design of product. Consumers can learn about the product directly from an advertisement or from their neighbors. The monopolist chooses the product design and price to influence a pattern of communication among consumers. We  find a number of results: (i) for low levels of homophily the product attractive to both types of consumers is preferred to specialized products; (ii) the...

Autores: Stricker,   Susanne; Mueller,   Rolf A.E.; Sumner,   Daniel A.
E-commerce is penetrating agriculture, particularly for selling products directly to consumers. The wine industry is a case in point. The industry has long-term experience in direct marketing. Many wineries welcome patrons at their premises for wine tasting and for selling wine to them. Moreover, where the practice is allowed, shipping wine directly to consumers without the assistance of trade intermediaries is a significant sales channel. E-commerce was adopted early in the wine industries of wired high-income countries and the wine industry provides an opportunity for studying the adoption, use, and impact of e-commerce. Moreover, because e-commerce has not spread evenly through all branches of agriculture, lessons learned from the wine industry may...

Autores: Calvin,   Linda; Barrios,   Veronica.
The North American winter-vegetable industry is highly integrated, with Mexican production supplying a large part of U.S. winter consumption needs. Imports from Mexico undergo a rigorous inspection procedure before entering the United States. In addition to Mexican firms, many U.S. firms are also involved in sourcing winter vegetables from Mexico. To compete well, both U.S. and Mexican firms must adapt to the changing market pressures, which reward firms that can source from many locations to provide a year-round supply and vertically integrated or coordinated firms that can control quality and pursue aggressive marketing.

Autores: Durham,   Catherine A.; Johnson,   Aaron J.; McFetridge,   Marc V.
Produce departments are important to the profitability and competitiveness of grocery stores. Understanding how variables beyond price and seasonality impact the demand and ultimately sales for produce is vital. This study finds display size and the use of multiple displays to be the most powerful tools (after price) that produce managers have available to them, but only with the right products. Also, point-of-purchase signage is found to have limited impact. These findings are based on the estimation of a demand system of fruits with prices, advertising size and location, display size (including multiple displays), and product origin among the explanatory variables.

Lack of access to nutritious food is an underlying and major cause of child mortality in Africa. Improving the nutritional quality of food crops, through biofortification, would be a useful complementary strategy to other agricultural and public health interventions. Quality Protein Maize (QPM) varieties have been developed through biofortification. Consumption of these varieties leads to greater protein utilisation in adults and children. In Kenya three QPM varieties have been released. In Central Kenya, particularly Kirinyaga district, farmers have come together through Innovation Platform for Technology Adoption ( IPTA) with the aim of production, value addition and marketing of QPM based products.

Autores: Thompson,   Stanley R.; Anders,   Sven M.; Herrmann,   Roland.
It is the objective of this paper to provide a methodological framework for the analysis of regional marketing programs which include regional-origin labeling as well as quality assurance and control. Such programs are increasingly introduced in Europe and other parts of the world as a means against quality uncertainty in globalized markets. An equilibrium - displacement model is developed for a segmented market with differential qualities that can be utilized for a broad variety of marketing programs. It is applied to one selected European case, i.e. "Gepruefte Qualitaet - Bayern". It is shown that the price impacts on high-quality and low-quality segments depend crucially on substitutive relationships between the markets and the advertising elasticities....

MATCHING AND INVENTORY LOSS RISKS AS FACILITATORS OF MARKET POWER IN PRIVATE NEGOTIATION SPOT TRADING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Menkhaus,   Dale J.; Phillips,   Owen R.; Bastian,   Christopher T.; Gittings,   Lance B.
This laboratory study investigates the extent to which matching and inventory loss risks contribute to market power in private negotiation trading.  Asymmetry in the number of buyers and sellers increases matching risk when exchange is bilateral.  The risk of inventory loss can occur from advance production and is common in markets for perishable products.  In a buyer concentrated market with bilateral trading, prices are about 23% below the predicted competitive level and close to the monopsony price.  These lower prices are the result of tacit coordination enjoyed by buyers resulting from matching and inventory loss risks faced by sellers.

Matching Diverse (Quality of) Supply with Market Differentiation Opportunities in the Pork Chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Trienekens,   Jacques H.
Currently, in most pork chains there is still a mismatch between delivered quality and expected quality, leading to unsatisfied customers and value losses because products are not sold against the best possible price. Differentiation of quality of pork starts already in the breeding stage, depends on feeding and living conditions of the animals at the farmer stage and is also influenced by the way the animals are transported and slaughtered. At the breeding stage a lot of research is being done that will eventually make it possible to use DNA technology to help guide breeding programs and to better predict the quality of animals and meat. However, because pigs are living creatures with a natural variation, 100% prediction accuracy is not to be expected and...

This paper models the market for beef products when quality production is stochastic and quality information is asymmetric between producers and consumers.  Independent sorters act as intermediaries to enhance market efficiency by guaranteeing minimum quality levels.  Market shares, effort levels, prices, and quality standards are obtained for general market equilibrium.

Measures of Brand Loyalty
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Allender,   William J.; Richards,   Timothy J.
Though brand loyalty has been studied extensively in the marketing literature, the relationship between brand loyalty and equilibrium pricing strategies is not well understood. Designing sales pricing strategies involves two key decisions: the percentage reduction in price from the existing price point, and the number or frequency of promotions within a category or for a specific product. These decisions, in turn, are critically dependent upon how many consumers can be convinced to switch to a brand by temporarily reducing its price, and how many are instead brand loyal. Theoretical models of how the size and strength of brand loyalty influence optimal promotion strategies have been developed, but there are no rigorous tests of their hypotheses.  We test...

Measuring Irrigation Water Efficiency with a Stochastic Production Frontier: An Application for Citrus Producing Farms in Tunisia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dhehibi,   Boubaker; Lachaal,   Lassaad; Elloumi,   Mohamed; Messaoud,   Emna B.
The objective of this paper is to propose an alternative measure of irrigation water efficiency based on the concept of input- specific technical efficiency, which contracts with measures previously used in the literature. The proposed methodology is applied to a randomly selected sample of 144 citrus growing farms located in Nabeul (Tunisia). A stochastic production frontier approach, based on Battese and Coelli’s (1995) inefficiency effect model, is used to obtain farm-specific estimates of technical and irrigation water efficiency. In addition, a second-stage regression approach is used to identify the factors influencing irrigation water efficiency differentials across citrus growing farms. Results indicate that technical efficiency ranges from a...

Measuring market integration for apples on the South African fresh produce market: a threshold error correction model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Uchezuba,   David Ifeanyi.
Apples constitute the bulk of deciduous fruit produced in South Africa, i.e. in 2000, apples made up the largest percentage of the deciduous fruit crop (43%). From 991/92 to 2002/03 production averaged 574 850 tons per annum with a standard deviation of 43 922 tons. The average distribution of the apple crop between the local market, exports and processing is more or less even. Because of its potential lucrative nature much emphasis in the apple industry is afforded to exports, but relatively little is known about how price transmission takes place on the domestic fresh produce markets (FPMs). Moreover, it is increasingly recognized that the formulation of market-enhancing policies to increase the performance of the local market requires a better...

Measuring Market Integration in Mozambican Maize Markets: A Threshold Vector Error Correction Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alemu,   Zerihun Gudeta; Biacuana,   G.R.
The primary objective of this research was to measure the extent of market integration between major surplus and deficit maize markets in Mozambique namely, Chimoio-Maputo, Chimoio-Beira, Ribaue-Nampula, and Mocuba-Nampula. To achieve this objective, Threshold Vector Autoregressive models were applied. The choice of the model was motivated by unobservable transaction costs and the import ant influence that their presence may exert on equilibrium spatial price relationships. The following are some of the major findings of the study. Firstly, threshold values (i.e. estimates of transaction costs) are found to be correlated positively with distance and inversely with the condition of the roads connecting markets. Secondly, market integration analysis revealed...

Measuring Market Power in the UK Retail Salmon Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fofana,   Abdulai; Jaffry,   Shabbar.
This paper presents an investigation into the market structure for three product types of salmon (smoked, fresh and whole salmon) in the UK retail market. Evidence of the potential for market power and pricing conduct is analysed using structural simultaneous system equations based on the Bresnahan (1982) model. The importance of the retail market is recognised given the dominance of supermarket chains which accounted for £1.6 billion sales of seafood and the share of about 87% of all seafood retail sales in 2004 as compared with only 16% in 1988. The results indicate that the system is well represented by the models and that the market is competitive for fresh fillets and whole salmon but retailers exert some market power for smoked salmon. The hypothesis...

Measuring Risk Attitude and Relation to Marketing Behavior
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Pennings,   Joost M.E.; Garcia,   Philip.
Researchers employ various measures of risk attitudes to investigate their relation to market behavior with mixed results. We find that a higher-order global risk attitude construct, developed using survey scales and experiments based on expected utility theory, is related to several marketing alternatives, but does not exhibit substantially greater explanatory power than underlying measures. With few exceptions, scales yield greater significance of risk attitudes for these choices, but experimental measures reveal other insights, e.g., differential attitudes in gain and loss domains. Given recent concerns with experimental measures in the literature, we suggest studies include scales as a low cost supplemental measure.

MEASURING STRATEGIC INTENT IN THE SOUTH TEXAS FOOD MARKETING INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McBryde,   Gary L.
Binomial and multinomial logit analysis is applied to data collected from questionnaires to measure strategic intent in the food marketing industry. Questions were framed based on data from the U.S. Department of Commerce's "County Business Patterns" reports and from best-practice studies. Question topics were placed into a competitive strategy framework following the 1998 work of Porter. Results indicate a strategic focus on outbound logistics and market pricing at the direct value level.  Indirect activities focus on human capacity and firm infrastructure, particularly expanding internationally. Firms are adopting information technologies as a competitive strategy, and are doing so as part of a combined strategy to develop human assets.

This paper determines the benefits and costs of firm-level advertising in a monopolistically competitive industry. The model is useful in an environment in which firm-level costs may be absent or imprecise. The empirical example uses data on the advertising for a new line of prune snacks by Sunsweet Growers between 2008 and 2010, revealing average benefit-cost estimates from $1.26 to $4.35 for every dollar allocated to the new product line.

This paper develops a monthly domestic demand and supply equilibrium model for Washington apples that can be used to assess the effectiveness of price and non-price promotional activities. The econometric methodology employed takes into account market differences across the U.S. and is based on data pertaining to individual retail stores located throughout the U.S.  The period of analysis is from September 1990 through August 2000 on a regional basis.   A unique feature of the model is its explicit allowance for multiplier effects to exist between the level of print media (newspaper ad and flyers) expenditures provided by the Washington State Apple Commission (WAC) in support of apple demand and supplementary funds provided by retailers in support of apple...

The analyses are compared in terms of the comparability and coherency of results and in terms of the types of information that can be generated by the multi-equation model but not by the single-equation model.  Due to the availability of detailed data from the WAC, the multi-equation system incorporates measures of actual lines of print media within an explicit model of print media as well as a measure of the multiplier effect associated with WAC promotion expenditures relative to the overall (retail-matched) level of print media.

Measuring the Impacts of Generic Fluid Milk and Cheese Advertising: A Time-Varying Parameter Application
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schmit,   Todd M.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
Previous constant-parameter demand models have estimated generic advertising elasticities for cheese to be below that for fluid milk. We relax this assumption, allowing for generic advertising response to vary over time. Cheese advertising elasticities were found below fluid milk up until the mid-1990s; average elasticities since have been similar. A benefit-cost ratio of the farmer-funded generic advertising program was estimated at $6.26:1 over the period of 1999-2001, indicating that generic advertising for fluid milk and cheese continues to be a viable and worthwhile program for milk producers

Measuring the Impacts of Generic Fluid Milk and Dairy Marketing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kaiser,   Harry M.; Dong,   Diansheng.
While per capita fluid milk consumption has been declining for decades in the United States, generic fluid milk marketing activities sponsored by fluid milk processors and dairy farmers have helped mitigate some of this decline. We estimate that these marketing efforts have had a positive and statistically significant impact on per capita fluid milk consumption. Specifically, over the 11-year period 1995 through 2005, we estimate that a one-percent increase in generic fluid milk marketing expenditures resulted in a 0.051 percent increase in per capita fluid milk consumption when holding all other demand factors constant. What about the impact on total consumption of fluid milk? From 2001 through 2005, generic fluid milk marketing activities increased fluid...

Measuring Transactions Costs from Observed Behavior: Market Choice in Peru
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vakis,   Renos; Sadoulet,   Elisabeth; de Janvry,   Alain.
Farmers incur proportional and fixed transactions costs in selling their crops on markets. Using data for Peruvian potato farmers, we propose a method to measure these transactions costs. When opportunities exist to sell a crop on alternative markets, the observed choice of market can be used to infer a monetary measure of transactions costs in market participation. The market choice model is first estimated at the reduced form level with a conditional logit, as a function of variables that explain transactions costs. We then use these market choice equations to control for selection in predicting the idiosyncratic prices that would be received on all markets and the idiosyncratic proportional transactions costs that would be incurred to reach all markets....

Meat Standards Australia as an Innovation in the Australian Beef Production and Marketing System
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Griffith,   Garry R.; Thompson,   John M.; Polkinghorne,   Rod; Gunner,   Richard.
Variable eating quality was identified as a major contributor to declining Australian beef consumption in the early 1990s. The primary issue was the inability to predict the eating quality of cooked beef before consumption. A R&amp;D program funded by industry and Meat and Livestock Australia investigated the relationships between critical control points along the supply chain, cooking methods and beef palatability. These relationships were underpinned by extensive consumer taste panels. Out of this R&amp;D grew the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) voluntary meat grading system which aimed at predicting consumer palatability scores of cooked beef. Quality was defined on the basis of one of four grades. The grading model predicts consumer scores for 135 ‘cut...

Spending on political advertising increases with every election cycle, not only for congressional or presidential candidates, but also for state-level ballot initiatives. There is little research in marketing, however, on the effectiveness of political advertising at this level. In this study, we conduct an experimental analysis of advertisements used during the 2008 campaign to mandate new animal welfare standards in California (Proposition 2). Using subjects' willingness to pay for cage-free eggs as a proxy for their likely voting behavior, we investigate whether advertising provides real information to likely voters, and thus sharpens their existing attitudes toward the issue, or whether advertising can indeed change preferences. We find that...

Marketing cooperatives operating pools that consistently obtain member returns in excess of cash market prices must accommodate new members. In some cooperatives, the membership policy is based only on the capital plan. This article presents alternative membership policies for the acquisition and transfer of rights to original members. Specific policy alternatives for each component are defined and examined. The analysis suggests that strategic planning in some cooperatives should involve explicit consideration of alternatives for membership policy.

MESSAGE ON THE BOTTLE: COLOURS AND SHAPES OF WINE LABELS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: de Mello,   Luiz; Pires,   Ricardo.
Wine consumers rely mainly on the label on the bottle to infer the quality of its content. But there is little empirical research on how colours can be interacted with shapes in the design of wine labels. This study draws from an experiment using data from Spain and shows that there are strong preferences for selected colour-shape combinations in label design. Surprisingly, colour alone does not elicit as strong preferences as certain shapes do, at least when they are assessed irrespectively of the shapes featured in the label. Other combinations, on the other hand, are very resilient, especially those that contain colour hues, such as brown, yellow, black and green, in labels with salient rectangular and hexagonal patterns.

Middlemen behaviour and generic advertising rents in competitive interrelated industries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.
This article focuses on the role of middlemen in determining the returns to generic advertising in a competitive industry where supply is uncontrolled, the price of marketing inputs is endogenous, and retail markets are interrelated through consumer preferences. Theoretical analysis suggests farm-gate returns (quasi-rents) are overstated when input substitution at middlemen level is ignored, a result confrmed in the empirical application. As for mark-up behaviour, represented by the farm-retail price transmission elasticity, a general result is that farm-gate returns to generic advertising always increase as the transmission elasticity decreases, provided retail demand is more elastic than input substitution. Endogenising the price of marketing inputs has...

MILK MARKETING ORDERS AND MILK SANITATION REGULATION: RE-EVAULATING MARKETING ORDERS' WELFARE EFFECTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Balagtas,   Joseph Valdes; Sumner,   Daniel A.
This research shows that the existing literature on milk marketing orders misses an important effect.  Previous work ignores the interaction of marketing orders with milk grading regulation.  We model this interaction and show that producer benefits from marketing orders have been smaller than previous work suggests, and, under some conditions, may even be negative.  Additional costs of producing fluid grade milk, omitted from previous welfare analyses, reduce producer benefits from marketing orders.  Estimates of the additional cost indicate that this previously unmeasured effect is a significant component of the total welfare effect of marketing orders.  An econometric model is developed to explain the variation in the fluid grade share of milk across...

MILKING THE MOST FROM YOUR PROMOTIONAL DOLLARS: AN ANALYSIS OF AGRIBUSINESS FIRMS SERVING U.S.AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Roucan-Kane,   Maud; Peake,   Whitney O.
Although the marketing mix has been covered in great detail in many veins of literature, very little information exists regarding the mix of marketing tools within the agriculture industry serving U.S. agricultural producers. Using a survey conducted by AgriMarketing magazine in June 2006, a two-fold analysis is undertaken. This study attempts to determine the differences in the use of marketing tools by industry and simple regression analysis is conducted to determine promotional factors that produce a significant impact on sales. Both mass media and other promotional tools were found to be the most consistently significant factor impacting sales of firms in the study.

Milk-Marketing: Impact of Perceived Quality on Consumption Patterns
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Grebitus,   Carola; Yue,   Chengyan; Bruhn,   Maike; Jensen,   Helen H.
Consumers’ use of quality characteristics to make milk purchase decisions reveal opportunities to create successful marketing strategies. Such a strategy could concern food quality. In this case, three core areas influence consumers’ quality perception: the perception process, the physical product itself and the communication about it (Grunert et al., 1996). Beyond this background, this article analyzes the impact of certain quality characteristics and socio-demographics on consumption patterns regarding whole fat milk, skim milk and organic milk. These milks were chosen because of the increasing awareness of different fat contents in the meaning of lower fat contents being healthier and the increasing importance of the organic food market. Steenkamp’s...

Missed opportunities and missing markets: Spatio-temporal arbitrage of rice in Madagascar

Autores: Moser,   Christine M.; Barrett,   Christopher B.; Minten,   Bart.
This paper uses an exceptionally rich data set to test the extent to which markets in Madagascar are integrated across space, time, and form (in converting from paddy to rice) and to explain some of the factors that limit arbitrage and price equalization within a single country.  In particular, we use rice price data across four quarters of 2000-2001 along with data on transportation costs and infrastructure availability for nearly 1400 communes in Madagascar to examine the extent of market integration at three different spatial scales sub-regional, regional, and national and determine whether non-integration is due to high transfer costs or lack of competition.   The results indicate that markets are fairly well integrated at the sub-regional level and...

MODEL APPLICATIONS FOR THE SPREAD OF NEW PRODUCTS IN HUNGARIAN MARKET CIRCUMSTANCES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Orova,   Irma; Komaromi,   Nandor.
Getting a new product adopted - even if it has obvious advantages - is difficult. Many innovations require a long period from the time they become available to the time they are widely adopted. This study was conducted to determine some characteristics of new product diffusion processes in Hungarian market circumstances and compare them with the international findings. Having studied a wide variety of diffusion models applied in marketing, the Bass (1969) model seems to be internationally adopted. The parameter values of this model for different products in several countries are available in relative studies. The diffusion of different products were investigated on Hungarian statistical data (e.g. automobile, camcorder, subscription of cellular phone) and...

Model closure and price formation under switching grain market regimes in South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Meyer,   Ferdinand H.; Westhoff,   Patrick C.; Binfield,   Julian C.R.; Kirsten,   Johann F.
This paper develops the structure and closure of an econometric regime-switching model within a partial equilibrium framework that has the ability to generate reliable estimates and projections of endogenous variables under market switching regimes. Models used in policy evaluation usually either ignore the possibility of regime switching using just a single method of price determination based on average effects, or incorporate highly stylised components that may not reflect the complexities of a particular market. This paper proposes an approach that the authors believe allows the incorporation of features of regime switching in a multisector commodity level model that capture salient features of the South African market and therefore are able to produce...

MODELING ADVERTISING CARRYOVER IN FLUID MILK: COMPARISON OF ALTERNATIVE LAG SPECIFICATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Venkateswaran,   Meenakshi; Kinnucan,   Henry W.; Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
The performance of restricted estimators such as Almon and Shiller in modeling advertising carryover is tested and compared to the unrestricted OLS estimator, using 1971-1988 monthly New York City fluid milk market data.  Results indicate that in the absence of autocorrelation and multicollinearity among the lagged advertising variables, the unrestricted OLS estimator is still the preferred estimator, based on Mean Square Error and Root Mean Square Percent Error criteria.  In this case, the Almon and Shiller estimators perform equally well, although next only to the OLS estimator.  In the presence of autocorrelation or multicollinearity however, the restricted estimators may outperform the OLS estimator, in a MSE sense, with the flexible Shiller estimator...

The non-alcoholic beverage market in the U.S. is a multi-billion dollar industry growing steadily over the past decade. Also, non-alcoholic beverages are among the most heavily advertised food and beverage groups in the United States. Several studies pertaining to non-alcoholic beverages including the incorporation of advertising effects have been conducted, but most of these have centered attention on milk consumption. Some studies have considered demand interrelationships for several beverages including advertising effects in systems-wide analyses.  In our analysis, we develop and employ a unique monthly time-series data set derived from Nielsen Homsescan panels for household purchases of non-alcoholic beverages over the period from January 1998 through...

MODELING CONTRACT FORM: AN EXAMINATION OF CASH SETTLED FUTURES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sanders,   Dwight R.; Manfredo,   Mark R.
This research presents an intuitive interpretation and expression for pricing cash settled futures contracts. In particular, the choice of the averaging period for the underlying cash index is evaluated. For example, the averaging period for the Lean Hog futures contract is two days, whereas it is thirty days for the F ed funds contract. Does the choice of the averaging period make a difference? Under certain assumptions, the behavior of the futures price prior to entering the expiration or averaging interval is independent of the length of the interval for storable commodities, but it is not for non-storable commodities.

Modeling Farmers' Use of Market Advisory Services
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pennings,   Joost M.E.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.
In an effort to improve marketing of their products, many farmers use market advisory services (MAS). To date, there is only fragmented anecdotal information about how farmers actually use the recommendations of market advisory services in their marketing plans, and how they choose among these services. Based on the literature on consulting services usage, a conceptual framework is developed in which perceived performance of the MAS regarding realized crop price and risk reduction, and the match between the MAS and the farmer's marketing philosophy drive MAS usage. To account for possible heterogeneity among farmers regarding to the use of MAS, we introduce a mixture-modeling framework that is able to identify unobserved heterogeneity. With this modeling...

MODELING FRESH TOMATO MARKETING MARGINS: ECONOMETRICS AND NEURAL NETWORKS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Patterson,   Paul M.; van Ispelen,   Pieter.
This study compares two methods of estimating a reduced form model of fresh tomato marketing margins: an econometric and an artificial neural network (ANN) approach.  Model performance is evaluated by comparing out-of-sample forecasts for the period of January 1992 to December 1994.  Parameter estimates using the econometric model fail to reject a dynamic, imperfectly competitive, uncertain relative price spread margin specification, but misspecification tests reject both linearity and log-linearity.  This nonlinearity suggests that an inherently nonlinear method, such as a neural network, may be of some value.  The neural network is able to forecast with approximately half the mean square error of the econometric model, but both are equally adept at...

MODELING PERCEPTIONS OF LOCALLY PRODUCED WINE AMONG RESTAURATEURS IN NEW YORK CITY

Autores: Preszler,   Trent L.; Schmit,   Todd M.
Poor perceived product quality, an inadequate sales force, and intense competition from wines produced elsewhere are common reasons cited for why New York wines have not achieved broad acceptance in the New York City (NYC) market. NYC restaurant owners, sommeliers, and chefs were surveyed regarding their perceptions and purchasing decisions of wines grown and bottled in New York State. Factor analysis was applied to examine the structure of interrelationships among key indicators of product perception, and an ordinal logistic regression model was used to identify the characteristics of restaurants that show a strong propensity to adopt local wines. The results indicate that a NYC restaurant’s type of cuisine does not affect its propensity to adopt local...

Previous constant-parameter demand models have estimated generic advertising elasticities for cheese to be below that for fluid milk.

Modeling the Impact of New Information on Consumer Preferences for Specialty Meat Products

Autores: Wang,   Xi; Curtis,   Kynda R.; Moeltner,   Klaus.
As the demand for organic and natural food grows in the U.S., studies show that consumers would and do pay more for these foods than their traditional counterparts. However, the question remains as to whether consumers really understand the differences between organic and natural products versus common products. The USDA provides an official definition of organic, but there is no official definition or certification for natural products. The general lack of knowledge among consumers concerning organic and natural products can be misleading and hence, there is a need for a better understanding of how consumer pre-existing knowledge and new information regarding organic and natural products influences consumer purchasing behavior.  In this study, we research...

Modeling U.S. Soy-Based Markets with Directed Acyclic Graphs and Time Series Econometrics: Evaluating the U.S. Market Impacts of High Soy Meal Prices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Babula,   Ronald A.; Bessler,   David A.; Reeder,   John; Somwaru,   Agapi.
This paper demonstrates the application of a recently developed methodology, the combination of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) with Bernanke structural vector autoregression (VAR) models, to model a system of U.S. commodity-related and value-added markets. As an example, the paper applies this methodology to a monthly system of three U.S. soy-based markets: the soybean market upstream and the two downstream markets for soy meal soy oil. Analyses of results from simulating the model's impulse response function and of forecast error variance decompositions provide updated estimates of market elasticity parameters that drive these markets, and updated policy-relevant information on how these monthly markets run and dynamically interact. Results suggest how a...

Modelling Agricultural Commodity Markets under Imperfect Competition

Autores: Soregaroli,   Claudio; Sckokai,   Paolo.
In this paper, we develop a model that explains the exporters’ behaviour in international commodity markets considering explicitly the case of an imperfectly competitive structure of these markets. More specifically, drawing from the imperfect competition and trade literature, we derive price transmission equations between producer and consumer prices and between producer and export prices that can be included in large commodity models in order to verify how results of these models change assuming the imperfect competition hypothesis. The results obtained carrying out a simple simulation exercise, with two competing exporting countries and one importing region, show the relevance of assuming imperfect competition in commodity markets.

Modelling Reference-Dependent and Labelling Effects in Consumers’ Functional Food Choices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zou,   Ning Ning (Helen).
This paper examines the reference-dependent and labelling effects when consumers make choices about functional foods, and explores how changes in reference points could alter individuals’ preferences. Functional food (Omega 3 milk) and regular food (regular milk) are used as examples to explore the potential reference-dependent effects and labelling effects. A consumer utility model with reference point effects is developed. The paper also explores how to model the effects of different labelling (health claim) policies, which could influence consumer preferences by changing consumers’ reference points.

Autores: Ndanga,   Leah Z.B.; Louw,   Andre; van Rooyen,   C.J.; Chikazunga,   Davison.
This paper uses a choice based conjoint analysis in an attempt to develop a consumer profile for the new market for black consumers. Although the different statistical packages used variants of the MNL model, the results were significantly similar with no contradictions in their results and the model provided here had the best statistical significance. Despite the models’ imminent statistical insignificance, they suggested valuable notions about black consumers’ wine choice determinants. Age, gender and the choice of favourite red wine may be used to segment the market and the other significant coefficients will affect the marketing and distribution choices to be followed by wine companies.

Modern Supply Chains and Product Innovation: How Can Smallholder Farmers Benefit?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schipmann,   Christin; Qaim,   Matin.
There is an emerging body of literature analysing how smallholder farmers in developing countries can benefit from modern supply chains. However, most of the available studies concentrate on export markets and fail to capture spillover effects that modern supply chains may have on local markets. Here, we analyse the case of sweet pepper in Thailand, which was initially introduced as a product innovation in modern supply chains, but which is now widely traded also in more traditional markets. Using survey data from smallholder farmers and econometric techniques, we show that sweet pepper cultivation contributes significantly to higher household incomes. Strikingly, at this stage, participation in modern supply chains does not lead to higher incomes than...

After a burst of enthusiasm through the middle part of this decade regarding the supermarket revolution, there now exists a broad consensus that this phenomenon is likely to proceed much more slowly than once thought in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is especially true in fresh produce supply chains, where both the promise and the perils of supermarket expansion have received greatest attention. In nearly the entire continent, the so-called traditional marketing sector – open air markets, dispersed informal vendors, and traditional shops – is expected to play a dominant role in fresh produce marketing for several decades. If true, this finding has profound policy implications. Specifically, it suggests that private investment in modern, integrated supply chains...

The main question in this research is to what extent agriculture on fragile slopes would become more sustainable if the farmers were given more possibilities for selling their products and acquiring production resources. An empirical study conducted in northern Benin demonstrates that a more accessible market does not lead to substantial increase in soil erosion control measures. The results indicated clearly that a closer market has positive effects on the yields of grain, and provides farmers with more opportunities to grow other, more commercial, crops or to undertake other profitable activities. Investments in an improved infrastructure can therefore contribute to improved agricultural returns, and these higher returns increase the attractiveness of...

Movement Restrictions, Agricultural Trade and Price Transmission between Israel and the West Bank
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rico,   Ihle; Rubin,   Ofir D.
Imposing military security measures as a consequence of violent conflict may lead to depressing economic effects for all parties involved. One implication is the limited ability to conduct trade, which in turn brings about welfare losses to the economic agents involved and may threat livelihoods and food security. This paper focuses on the consequences of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as a prominent example, on bilateral agricultural trade and price dynamics. For this purpose, we consider high-frequency wholesale price data and data on movement restrictions (complete closures) which were imposed by the Israeli Defense Forces in the West Bank between May 2007 and December 2008. In particular, we study the price dynamics of cucumbers and apples, two...

Autores: Bidogeza,   J.C.; Berentsen,   Paul B.M.; De Graaff,   J.; Oude Lansink,   Alfons G.J.M.
The challenge for agricultural policymakers and planners, particularly in the context of Rwanda with high population density and consequently food insecurity, is how to enable farmers to adopt new technology. It is known that adoption of new technology may vary among farm households because of socio-economic characteristics. This paper intends to typify farm households in Rwanda based on the exploration of factors explaining adoption of new technology. Ultimately, typical farms obtained from the typology will be used, later as basis to develop representative mathematical programming models. Multivariate statistical techniques offer the means of creating such typologies, particularly when an in-depth database is available. This multivariate analysis...

A nagy kereskedelmi láncoknak hosszú időn keresztül történő eredményes értékesítés döntő tényezője a kisárutermelő személyes adottsága: a képzettsége, ismereteinek korszerűsége, szorgalma, kitartása, innovációs és változtatási készsége, hosszú távú szemlélete, stratégiai gondolkodásmódja, marketingszemlélete, továbbá a megszokottól eltérő igényekhez való alkalmazkodási képessége, valamint kockázatvállalási hajlandósága.  Az eredményes kisárutermelők legnagyobb problémája a tőkehiány. A tőkehiányból eredő problémák egy részét a rátermettségükből, találékonyságukból eredően meg tudják oldani. A tőkehiány enyhítésére állami támogatás is szükséges, elsősorban az áruvá készítés és a láncok beszerzési rendszeréhez kapcsolható logisztikai rendszer tekintetében. A...

National Brand and Private Label Pricing and Promotional Strategy
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Volpe,   Richard J., III.
In this paper I use a unique and rich data set on prices and promotions from major US supermarkets to examine the nature of National Brand and Private Label interaction. Private labels are priced and promoted competitively with NBs, in a manner suggesting that retails are careful not to lose private label market share during times of national brand promotions. The price margin between the two types of products continues to fall in US supermarkets, and the major determinants of the price differences between the two are promotional frequency and market concentration.

Naturalness and Consumer Choices: The Case of Microfiltered Milk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Coppola,   Adele; Verneau,   Fabio.
Food is a very sensitive area and the most intimate form of consumption. Consumer choice is known to be strongly affected by emotional factors usually not taken into account in economic analysis. At the same time it is clear that such emotional factors can affect consumer behaviour and market reactions above all when there are scandals and concerns. One of the emotional aspects that seems to dominate consumer behaviour in the food sector is so‐called magical thinking which leans on two different pillars: the contagion principle and the similarity principle. The contagion principle affects the concept of naturalness which, according to cognitive psychologists, is a key factor in determining consumer preferences. The main element stemming from this...

Net Gains from 'Net Purchases? Farmers' Preferences for Online and Local Input Purchases
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batte,   Marvin T.; Ernst,   Stanley C.
E-commerce represents both threats to and opportunities for rural communities. This study addresses one element of the issue: farmers' willingness to substitute online merchants or national farm input stores for local businesses. Results of a conjoint analysis of contingent choice experiments suggest that farmers are willing to purchase from online or national stores outside their communities if compensated with lower prices or greater services. Results also demonstrate that the context of the input purchase, such as time constraints, was very important not only in valuing these services, but, more broadly, in terms of the farmer's loyalty to a local merchant.

Together with its partners, Szolnok College is planning to evaluate a new project for networking on the utilization of local natural resources. This project is based on a research work (using the findings of the surveys completed by the representatives of hosts living in the eastern part of Hungary). The project itself is based on the adaptation of the theory of tourism into practice by presenting existing natural values in the supply portfolio of tourist service providers. A unique natural environment can be found alongside a 120 km-long stretch of River Tisza. These natural values interlink and complete each other with respect to Lake Tisza and River Tisza.

NEW COMPETITION FOR SUPERMARKETS: A CASE STUDY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.
Non-traditional retailers such as warehouse club stores, discount drug stores, and discount mass merchandisers are new competitors for traditional food retailers.  It is expected that non- traditional retailers will account for roughly 14 percent of total grocery sales by the turn of the century.  The impact of a particular discount mass merchandiser (Wal-Mart) on the sales of a conventional retail grocery outlet (David's Supermarket, Inc.) located in the rural areas surrounding the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex is analyzed in this case study.  In this case study, Wal-Mart alone is responsible for about a 17 percent reduction in sales.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN GROCERY MANUFACTURER AND DISTRIBUTOR MARKETING PROGRAMS: A SURVEY OF U.S. WHOLESALERS AND RETAILERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Park,   John L.; McLaughlin,   Edward W.
The retail food industry has taken initiatives to improve cost and to return the focus of management to the consumer.  Among these initiatives are Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) and category management.  A mail questionnaire elicited perceptions on these issues from 95 executives among U.S. food wholesalers and retailers. This study found that ECR category management are being used to streamline costs and to remove logistical inefficiencies.  Although it is widely recognized that category management provides a consumer focus, distributors seemingly brush aside tactics that target individual customers in favor of efforts that target logistical efficiency.

Autores: Cash,   Sean B.; Goddard,   Ellen W.
Consumer behaviour remains an evolving and fascinating area of research. In this article we highlight some of the current work by Canadian researchers in the areas of enhancing both the quality and application of consumer analysis. The work described below touches upon areas in which not just economic theory and methods, but also the policy process can be improved. The working papers cited here were all presented as part of the principal paper session, “What’s Going on in Consumer Behaviour?” held at the joint meeting of the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society and the Northeastern Agricultural and Resource Economics Association in Halifax, Nova Scotia in June 2004.

The purpose of this research report is to summarize the features of several types of "new generation" grain marketing contracts.  Over the last several years, new types of grain marketing contracts have been developed by the grain industry in an attempt to improve the results of the marketing process for farmers.  These products use automated pricing rules, discretionary marketing on the part of a professional advisor, options strategies, or some combination of all three; their goal is to achieve a price for the farmer near or above the "average" price offered by the market over a given time.  Reports in the farm media suggest interest in new generation contracts has increased rapidly in recent years.  This publication describes some of the contracts...

New institutional arrangements and standard adoption: Evidence from small-scale fruit and vegetable farmers in Thailand
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sarah,   Kersting; Meike,   Wollni.
This paper presents an analysis of GlobalGAP adoption by small-scale fruit and vegetable farmers in Thailand focusing on GlobalGAP group certification, the costs and perceived benefits of GlobalGAP adoption, and the factors influencing standard adoption. GlobalGAP is the most important private standard for producers in the Thai horticultural sector concerning access to high-value markets, especially to Europe. We find that support by donors, exporters and public-private partnerships is vital to enable small-scale farmers to adopt the standard. GlobalGAP group certification encourages the formation of new institutional arrangements between farmers, exporters and donors. In our sample only participants from a development program were successful in adopting...

Regional- and settlement marketing (in the following: RSM) is a relatively young but dynamically developing branch of the science and practice of marketing. On the basis of the experience of the international as well as national regions and cities producing successful and impressive development it is often referred to as "wonder weapon" in the field of rural development. The task of RSM - to cut it short - is nothing else but the exploring of the competitiveness, comparative advantages and attraction of the region, the settlement, as well as the supporting of their realization and communication in the interest of the multifold aims concerning development, economics and lifestyle. In Hungary, RSM has been established by the increase of the self-governing...

New species in mediterranean aquaculture: is it an answer to the market demand for differentiated products ?
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Paquotte, Philippe.
Mediterranean aquaculture development is now at a crossroads. The production of seabass and seabream has been increasing at a smart and constant pace for the last ten years. Nevertheless, it is still far behind the Northern European salmonid industry in terms of level of production, reduction of production costs and market internationalisation. Meanwhile, an in depth transformation of market conditions is ongoing in Europe which remains the main target market for Mediterranean aquaculture products. The most important issues are the soaring role of supermarkets in the distribution chain, the development of new processing techniques like pre-packed fresh fish, the growing importance of catering and the evolution of the consumer behaviour. Seafood consumer...

NEW TECHNOLOGIES, MARKETING STRATEGIES AND PUBLIC POLICY FOR TRADITIONAL FOOD CROPS: MILLET IN NIGER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abdoulaye,   Tahirou; Sanders,   John H.
New technology introduction in this semiarid region of the Sahel is hypothesized to be made more difficult by three price problems in the region. First, staple prices collapse annually at harvest. Secondly, there is a between year price collapse in good and very good years due to the inelastic demand for the principal staple, millet, and the large changes in supply from weather and other stochastic factors. Thirdly, government and NGOs intervene in adverse rainfall years to drive down the price increases. Marketing strategies were proposed for the first two price problems and a public policy change for the third. To analyze this question at the firm level a farm programming model was constructed. Based upon surveying in four countries, including Niger,...

Autores: Arva,   Laszlo; Deli-Gray,   Zsuzsa.
At the end of the 20th century in the most developed countries economy and society went through profound transformation. The emerging post-industrial society can be characterised by the dominance of service industry, more leisure time of the population, higher disposable income and more conscious consumers. These conscious consumers are more and more quality orientated and reject undifferentiated mass products. New customers of tourism and hospitality industry are not only more affluent – so less price conscious – and more quality orientated but they are also seeking activity, participation, fantasy, and experience. These new types of tourists are interested rather in aesthetic aspects of life and are seeking highly differentiated, personalised experience....

NEW VARIETIES AND THE RETURNS TO COMMODITY PROMOTION: THE CASE OF FUJI APPLES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Patterson,   Paul M.
The Fuji apple variety is relatively new in the U.S. As a new product, questions concern the relative impact of consumer learning by experience, by variety-specific promotion, or by generic apple promotion. A two-stage (LES/LAIDS) model incorporating both types of promotion is used to estimate the effect of generic and variety specific promotion, as well as consumer experience, on the demand for Fuji apples. Estimates show each to have a positive impact, and also show new or speciality apple varieties to be relatively price inelastic, but income elastic. Grower returns to promotion are calculated with an equilibrium displacement model of price changes and producer surplus. Changes in producer surplus provide a base-scenario benefit: cost ratio of 6.33:1.

NO FEELING FOR "UDDERS"?: A CRITICAL NOTE ON THE REPORT OF THE A.C.T. MILK AUTHORITY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Albon,   Robert.
Fluid milk marketing in Australia is generally associated with an administered system where free market forces are unable to operate due to public intervention. Such interference creates a situation where, as Throsby [6, p. 243] puts it, 'returns to the fluid milk sector are maintained by monopoly pricing and supply control measures which vary from State to State'. The Australian Capital Territory (A.C.T.) is, similarly, not immune to the effects of producer protection. Indeed, it is contended that the implementation of the proposals contained in the A.C.T. Milk Authority Report of March 1974 [3] would have the effect of institutionalizing the power of the dairy industry to act in a manner opposed to the interests of A.C.T. consumers. The basic reason why...

NOISE TRADE DEMAND IN FUTURES MARKETS

Theoretical noise trader models suggest that uninformed traders can impact market prices. However, these models' conclusions depend crucially on the assumed specification for noise trader demand. This research seeks to empirically determine the appropriate demand specification for uninformed traders. Using commercial market sentiment indices as proxies for noise trader demand, Granger causality models are estimated to examine the linear linkages between sentiment and futures returns. The models strongly suggest that noise traders are positive feedback traders (i.e., extrapolative expectations) with relatively long memories.

Noncooperative Game Theory: A Review with Potential Applications to Agricultural Markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sexton,   Richard J.
This paper is a survey on noncooperative game theory relevant to agricultural markets.  It is divided into two parts.  Part I discussed types of noncooperative games and reviews important developments in noncooperative game theory solution concepts, including Nash equilibrium, subgame perfect equilibrium, and perfect Bayesian equilibrium.  Strengths and weaknesses of game theory as a modelling tool are also assessed.  Part II illustrates applications of the theory to agricultural markets.  Game theory is relevant when markets are imperfectly competitive, and this paper argues that this condition is commonly met in agriculture.  Specific topics of application include principal-agent models, vertical control, auctions, and bargaining.   A shortened version...

This paper analyses the effect of non-credit services of joint liability credit institutions on smallholder women beekeepers’ honey income. The non-credit services offered to the beekeepers are mainly enterprise development services (training on marketing, business, production and subsector analysis). The study uses cross-sectional data from a survey of women beekeepers participating in group-based credit programmes; the survey was conducted in September 2005 in Makueni district of Kenya. The findings indicate that the number of enterprise development related trainings attended by women beekeepers that are offered by the group-based financial institutions positively and significantly influence honey income. The results confirm that non-credit services...

Non-Linear Spatial Price Transmission on the Turkish Wheat Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Weitzel,   Enno-Burghard; Bayaner,   Ahmet.
Agricultural production is spread all over Turkey and the considerably different climatic and topographical conditions among the provinces lead to highly diversified agricultural production. Thus, is it reasonable to assume an integrated market all over Turkey? This paper analyzes the spatial price transmission among 28 Turkish provinces. Applying a bivariate threshold vector error correction model allows to account for transaction costs without having direct information of these. The results suggest that there is an inner cluster of several provinces that can be treated as one large integrated market. However, the degree of market integration decreases in the outer provinces of Turkey. Although transaction costs are significant for nearly all provinces,...

NONPARAMETRIC KERNEL ESTIMATION OF MULTIPLE HEDGE RATIOS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kim,   MinKyoung; Leuthold,   Raymond M.
It is possible for the traditional hedge ratio estimation to produce erroneous guidance to risk managers because of the restrictive assumptions.  This study adopts nonparametric locally polynomial kernel estimation to exclude the assumptions.  Results from the hog complex find that hedge ratios estimated by local polynomial kernel regression outperform naïve and GARCH models.  Because of the potential assumption violations associated with the estimation and implementation of hedge ratios by GARCH models, LPK is a reasonable alternative for estimating hedge ratios to manage price risks.

Economists have long considered issues of spatial economic activity, trade, and location values. Among all the various theories presented over the past century, it is safe to say that not one predicts that goods, services, or factors of production must attain the same value at different locations in geographic space. Only under the most extreme conditions, such as zero transportation costs, would it be even conceivable that the same commodity or factor of production be expected to command the same price in two geographically separated markets. With costly transportation, it is possible that two separate markets have nearly the same, or even identical, prices, but there are no theoretically justified reasons to expect such an outcome, a priori. When the...

NORTH AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL MARKET INTEGRATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FOOD AND FIBER SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vollrath,   Thomas L.
Economic change and market dynamics have fundamentally altered the structure and performance of agricultural markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico within the last 25 years. Many factors have helped shape the current North American food and fiber system, including technological change, domestic farm policies, international trade agreements, and the economic forces of supply and demand. Ratification of NAFTA, for example, helped integrate the North American market, sparking a surge in trade and investment among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In recent years, efforts to further integrate the continental market seem to have slowed. Broadening the scope of NAFTA to include institutional reforms that lead to a more unified system of commercial...

Ruminant livestock production in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming is critical to the region's economy.  Because of the economic significance of ruminant livestock production, producers in the four-state area are continually looking for opportunities to increase income and improve the viability of their farm and ranch operation.  Accordingly, the Four-state Ruminant Consortium, an integrated research and extension program, was created to specifically address issues related to ruminant livestock production.  One of the more widely applicable possibilities for adding value through the regions's ruminant livestock sector appears to be backgrounding feeder calves.  However, while economic analysis has indicated that stockgrowers in the study...

Novas estratégias de posicionamento na fidelização do consumidor infantil de alimentos processados
Provedor de dados: 65
Autores: Souza,Ângela Rozane Leal de; Révillion,Jean Philippe Palma.
As crianças estão assumindo um papel cada vez mais importante nas decisões de consumo familiar em função de sua crescente influência e autonomia na escolha dos produtos adquiridos, o que as torna um segmento de mercado cada vez mais visado nas estratégias de marketing das empresas de produtos manufaturados. Essa dinâmica é particularmente importante no mercado de alimentos infantis, em que se estabelecem necessidades, às vezes contraditórias, de integrar a busca por alimentos saudáveis (pelos pais) saborosos e valorizados (muitas vezes em função de atributos extrínsecos) pelos filhos. Esta pesquisa evidenciou que a adoção de padrões de alimentação inadequados tem gerado a emergência de novos problemas de saúde na população infantil brasileira. Esse quadro...

Objectiveness in the Market for Third-Party Certification: Does market structure matter?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Anders,   Sven M.; Souza Monteiro,   Diogo M.; Rouviere,   Elodie.
The globalization of trade in high quality foods is stimulating the development of international food standards and certification systems. Third-party certification as evolved as a means of ensuring that product information and signals on quality and safety attributes are sound and reliable. Certification can only provide credible market signals if it operates objectively and independently. This paper investigates the potential trade-off between certifiers’ objectivity and the level of competition in the rapidly expanding market for third-party certification of quality foods. Based on a theoretical supply chain framework a nested panel analysis is applied to a set of accredited certifiers for the EurepGAP fruits and vegetables standard. Our results...

OBSERVATIONS ON COOPERATIVE BARGAINING IN U.S. AGRICULTURAL MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hueth,   Brent; Marcoul,   Philippe.
This paper identifies market and commodity characteristics that seem to support successful cooperative bargaining in markets for farm output. Bargaining is not just about increasing prices paid to farmers; indeed, although there is very little empirical research that addresses the issue, what evidence does exist suggests that cooperative bargaining has very little direct influence on price. Nevertheless, the price negotiation process may be useful in itself as a form of price discovery in markets where there is uncertainty about market supply and demand conditions, and bargaining associations can play an important role in ensuring contract reliability. These and other benefits must be weighed against the organizational and ongoing operational costs of a...

Of Markets and Middlemen: The Role of Brokers in Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gabre-Madhin,   Eleni Z.
Using survey data on traders and brokers in the Ethiopian foodgrain market, this paper reveals that the brokerage institution is critical to market performance in that it enables traders to circumvent the commitment problem of long-distance trade with unknown partners. In the absence of grain standardization, public information, and legal contract enforcement, brokers act as inspectors and guarantors of each transaction. The paper analyzes the sources of commitment failure, the role and functions of brokers and the extent of brokerage use by brokers and argues that agency relations are not based on ethnicity, depend on effective reputation rather than trust, and are structured in an incentive-compatible manner.

OFFSHORE COMMODITY AND CURRENCY HEDGING STRATEGY WITH HEDGING COSTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jin,   Hyun Joung; Koo,   Won W.
This study explores the role of hedging costs in offshore hedging to minimize the risks associated with fluctuations in commodity export prices and exchange rates in international grain trade.  The study focuses on three areas: (1) the effects of hedging costs in both commodity and currency futures hedging, (2) the relationship between hedging cost and trade volume of a grain, and (3) a prescriptive hedging strategy for Japanese wheat importers in the commodity and currency futures markets.    A demand system for futures hedging is presented and the effect of hedging cost on the model is analyzed.  The model is applied to a representative wheat importer in Japan.  Demand for futures is estimated under different levels of hedging costs in both commodity and...

Tanulmányunkban az ökoélelmiszerek fogyasztói megítélését, a fogyasztói szokásokat és azokat befolyásoló tényezőket mutatjuk be. Az 1200 fős primer megkérdezés eredményei szerint a fogyasztók az ökoélelmiszerekről egyre bővebb ismeretekkel rendelkeznek, felismerik és keresik őket. A vegyszermentességük és természetességük miatt ezeket a termékeket az egészségre kedvező hatásúnak tartják.  A magas ár azonban még mindig korlátot jelent, az értékarányos ár elfogadásához több tájékoztatás és erőteljesebb kommunikáció szükséges.  Az ökotermékek értékesítésekor rendkívül fontos a bizalom, amely egyrészt az eladó és a vevő közvetlen kapcsolatának erősítésével, másrészt a minősítési rendszer szigorúságával garantálható.  --------------------------------------- In...

Old model, new problem: when should you update a model and what happens when you do?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Griffith,   Garry R.; Malcolm,   Bill; Mounter,   Stuart W.; Slattery,   Henry.
This paper is a summary of some of the considerations involved in applying an existing model to a new problem, in particular in deciding whether to update or not, and some of the issues involved in interpreting the output from the new application. Thus where you start from does influence where you end up. Both change in total surplus and to a lesser extent the distribution of this change in total surplus across sectors, depends on the price and quantity data which is used to define the initial equilibrium, even if elasticity values are the same. So careful consideration should be given to whether an existing model should be updated because updating a model does matter. The final point to restate is that consumers of pig meat end up being the winners from...

Old World Wines Revisited: Consumers' Valuation of Spanish and German Wines in the UK Wine Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Steiner,   Bodo E.
The mid 1990s was a pivotal period for the UK retail wine market, as New World Wines started to expand significantly at the expense of Old World Wines. This paper reviews supply and demand-side characteristics of the UK wine market during this period, and the underlying wine labeling scheme, before assessing how wines from Old World wine producing countries were valued by consumers in the British wine market. Following a more detailed discussion of econometric estimation issues, hedonic price analysis is applied in order to analyze consumers’ valuation of wine label attributes of Spanish and German wines sold in Britain in 1994.

Oligopsony Distortions and Welfare Implications of Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Devadoss,   Stephen; Song,   Wongun.
While imperfect competition in the output market has garnered extensive focus in the new trade theory literature, input market imperfection has received considerably less attention.  Since market power in input purchase has been growing in recent years, it is worth examining the welfare implications of trade arising from oligopsony power.  We develop a model consisting of two final goods, one intermediate good, and two primary factors (capital and labor).  One final good and the intermediate good employ primary factors, whereas the other final good uses labor and the intermediate input.  All markets operate under perfect competition except for the intermediate input, which is oligopsonistic.  Using this model, we show that oligopsony can lead to some...

Olive Oil - Make it for Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Davies,   Gerry; Cook,   Venton.
There has been an average annual (compound) growth rate of olive oil imports of around 15% over the past ten years but it seems reasonable to assume that the growth rate of demand will start to level off. There is a slowing of total olive oil imports to around 22,000 tonnes by 2006, of which about 4,500 tonnes will be virgin olive oil. It is this smaller premium market which the majority of growers are targeting. This paper considers marketing needs of olives from an industry rather than an individual business perspective. As more groves come into production, there is a new set of challenges that may be better dealt with on a collective basis.  The growth in interest in olive oil production is driven by the high prices ($22 to $65/ litre) which are...

ON IMPROVING ECONOMETRIC ANALYSES OF GENERIC ADVERTISING IMPACTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tomek,   William G.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
It is possible to obtain robust estimates of structural parameters using observational data, but it is difficult to do so.  Necessary, but not sufficient, conditions are to adopt a modeling philosophy and to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the results.  Using a general-to-specific modeling philosophy, we obtained stable estimates of the long-run advertising elasticity for fluid milk.  This result contrasts with an earlier, published model which did not provide stable estimates as new data points became available.  It is difficult, however, to apply the general-to-specific modeling approach because it requires the researcher to specify an initial general model.  But analysts are unlikely to agree on this initial model, and if this is true, then the...

ON MARKETING QUOTAS FOR FLUID MILK
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Parish,   Ross M.
In this article I present a static economic analysis of the operation of milk marketing schemes (such as that administered by the New South Wales Milk Board) which employ marketing quotas for individual producers. This is a subject which has already received some attention in this Journal: I refer to the suggestion of Harris and Candler that marketing quotas for fluid milk should be freely traded among producers, and, more particularly, to Neutze's subsequent discussion of their proposal. Some of the problems raised, and apparent paradoxes uncovered in that discussion, will be considered in the second part of this article.

On the Coexistence of Spot and Contract Markets: a Delivery Requirement Explanation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hendrikse,   George W.J.
A model is presented in which spot and contract market exchange co-exist. A contract consists of a delivery requirement between an upstream and a downstream party. Contract formation determines to a certain extent the probability distribution of the spot market price. This contract formation externality entails the removal of high reservation price buyers and various sellers from the spot market. The first effect decreases the expected spot market price when the number of contracts is small, whereas the decrease in the number of sellers and additional residual contract demand increase the expected spot market price beyond a certain number of contracts. It implies an endogenous upper bound on the number of contracts. Contract prices are positively related...

On the co-existence of spot and contract markets: an analysis of quality
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Olmos,   Marta Fernandez; Rosell-Martinez,   Jorge; Espitia-Escuer,   Manuel Antonio.
The possible co-existence of spot and contract market that can emerge in the presence of quality issues with a number of growers and processors in each stage is something that has largely remained an open question in the literature. This paper is an attempt to fill this void. We use a straightforward two-stage Cournot oligopoly model with specific demand and cost functions. In the first stage, processors decide simultaneously whether or not to set an incentive contract. The second stage is the stage in which growers choose their levels of quantity and quality based on the industry structure developed in the first stage. With the help of numerical simulations we conducted the study of the equilibrium structures. Our results suggest that for a wide range of...

On the Competitive Interaction Between Private Label and Branded Grocery Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cotterill,   Ronald W.; Dhar,   Ravi; Putsis,   William P., Jr.
Recent research in marketing has focused on cross-category variation in the market share of private label products, while recent work in the economics and industrial organization literature has focused on the determinants of firm price setting behavior.  In this paper, the authors develop a framework for estimating market share and price reaction equations simultaneously in an attempt to understand the nature of competitive interaction in the market for private label and branded grocery products.  Empirical findings support the author's premise that consumer response to price and promotion decisions (demand) and the factors influencing firm pricing behavior (supply) jointly determine observed market prices and market shares.  More specifically, the authors...

Using IRI Infoscan data pertaining to six types of spaghetti sauces and employing an extension of the demand systems framework developed by Duffy, estimates are obtained of own-price, cross-price, and total expenditure elasticities as well as own- and cross-product advertising elasticities.  We augment the Duffy model through the use of a polynomial inverse lag mechanism to deal with the carryover effects of advertising.  We also account for the impacts of features in newspaper fliers, in-store displays, and coupons.  Advertising efforts by industry leaders in spaghetti sauce produce positive own-advertising elasticities (ranging from -.000003 to -.0094).  Own-price elasticities are in the elastic range, and nearly all compensated cross-price effects are...

ON THE HIDDEN REVENUE EFFECTS OF WOOL PRICE STABILISATION IN AUSTRALIA: INITIAL RESULTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Campbell,   Rachel; Gardiner,   B.; Haszler,   Henry.
A preliminary analysis of demand in eight major OECD wool-consuming countries is used to provide up-to-date estimates of price elasticities of demand for wool. Those elasticities are employed to calculate ex ante market prices, assuming no wool price stabilisation in Australia. The computed ex ante prices are used in a dynamic simulation to estimate demand and, hence, revenue from wool sales to the eight countries in the absence of reserve price operations in Australia. Based on the preferred semi-log demand curve, the variability of wool prices is estimated to have been reduced by 44 per cent, due to Australian intervention in the market up to 1977/78. However, price stabilisation is estimated to have lowered the revenue from Australian wool sales to the...

This paper explores the problem of pricing an option on the cash commodity in Canadian dollars when the commodity is priced relative to a U.S. futures market.  A general options pricing model is developed that separates out the value of a quantos risk and basis risk.  The paper uses daily data for cattle, corn and soybeans in Ontario, and the model is employed to price the option on the cash commodity with basis risk and the option on a quantos, without basis risk.  The relationship between the pricing model and over-the-counter options and market revenue insurance is also discussed.

The authors suggest that: Mozambique is in an unusually strong position to take advantage of private sector activity to stabilize prices over time and space; Additional investment in road and rail infrastructure, incentives, and institutions, would help bring down transaction costs and allow private action to further stabilize prices; Additional stabilization, for those times when Mozambique has to rely on imports from the world market beyond what they normally make, could be obtained in...

Food safety is attracting more and more attention by sectors of various kinds. However, the contradiction faced by China is the continuous growing safety and quality agrifood market and export demand together with large volumes of distributed and un-organized small-scale rural household production. If we cannot effectively organize agrifood production of distributed rural households, provide technical guidance, and exercise supervision during the production process, it is obvious that it is difficult to supply safety and quality agrifood in large volumes, sustainably and steadily. In the first place, this study has put forward the fact that the rapid development of supermarket in China has created favorable and irreplaceable objective conditions for safety...

We test whether the use of an honesty priming task from the social psychology literature can help mitigate hypothetical bias in stated preference choice experiments (CE). Using a between-sample design, we conducted experiments with five treatments: (1) hypothetical CE without cognitive task, (2) hypothetical CE with cheap talk script, (3) hypothetical CE with neutral priming task, (4) hypothetical CE with honesty priming task, and (5) non-hypothetical CE. Results generally suggest that marginal willingness to pay estimates from treatment 4 where subjects are given honesty priming task before the choice experiment are not statistically different from marginal valuations from treatment 5 where subjects are in a non-hypothetical choice experiment. Values from...

This paper proposes the use of multi-unit auctions in studying consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for food products in a multi-unit shopping scenario. We show how this method can overcome the limitations of single-unit experimental auctions in obtaining useful information related to WTP for not just the first unit but also subsequent units of a product, the demand curve, consumer surplus, the determinants of consumers’ WTP for each auctioned unit, and the effect of potential price discount strategies.

An econometric model is estimated with survey data from artisanal fishing households in Minahasa, Indonesia.  The results can be used to assess the impacts of improved transportation infrastructure on fishery exploitation.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY OF A U.S./CANADIAN WHEAT POOL:  A GAME THEORY ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nganje,   William E.; Koo,   Won W.; Park,   Joon J.; Taylor,   Richard D.
The problem of declining wheat prices and excess supply has been the subject of recent economic studies partly because it coincides with the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act of 1996, and partly because efforts to decrease supply domestically have led to increased imports from Canada.  This paper develops a game theory optimization model of market efficiency and derives conditions under which voluntary pooling is sustained for U.S./Canadian durum and hard red spring wheat producers.  Analysis reveals that U.S. and Canadian farmers can increase farm returns with efficiency gains from pooling and by internalizing benefits from grain blending and logistics.  The model is used to analyze diverse factors affecting the sustainability of such...

Opportunities and barriers for niche marketing of lamb in European LFAs based on consumer attitudes to product quality
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rahmann,   Gerold; Ashworth,   Stuart W.; Boutonnet,   Jean-Pierre; Brunori,   Gianluca; Papadopoulos,   Ioannis.
With commodity prices continuing to decrease and with policy constraint that farmers cannot easily increase their incomes by increasing volumes of production, they must find alternative ways to maintain their standard of living. This can be achieved by either niche marketing of agricultural products or by environmental payments, which are paid by either the government or the consumer. The results of a consumer survey carried out in Less Favoured Areas in Scotland, Germany, Greece, France and Italy to assess consumer attitudes of what constitutes the quality of lamb and the extent to which this provides an opportunity to exploit niche marketing, are discussed. Consumers generally have much less interest in the use of regional labelling, ecologically...

Opportunities for African Small Farmers in Ethical Foods Markets: An Entrepreneurial Perspective
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Amanor-Boadu,   Vincent.
Income growth in many countries is fuelling expansion of the ethical consumer segment and creating an unprecedented opportunity for small African farmers. The challenge is how to organize these farmers to seize the opportunities being offered by the emerging market. We argue in this paper that the development of entrepreneurial perspectives on small farmers’ realities could help alleviate the current economic challenges confronting them. We suggest increased engagement between researchers and academics with producers in entrepreneurial ventures to seize these opportunities. This is new model of economic development focuses on microeconomic solutions through entrepreneurial initiatives. We believe the agricultural economics profession’s ability to engage...

Opportunities to Improve Household Food Security Through Promoting Informal Maize Marketing Channels: Experience from Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Traub,   Lulama Ndibongo; Jayne,   Thomas S.
Maize meal is a staple food in South Africa, particularly among the poor. The South  African government by the mid-1980s enacted a series of legislations aimed at reducing the role  of  government within the market and placing increasing reliance on market forces and the private  sector. Ex post studies of the impact of maize market reform in neighboring countries found that,  in general, the reforms led to lower maize milling/retailing margins in real terms. However, in  the case of South Africa, recent analysis indicates that maize market reform has not reduced  processing and retailing margins in the maize meal supply chain. The study objectives are to  determine actual and potential consumer demand for the types of maize meal capable of being  produced...

OPTIMAL ADVERTISING WITH TRADED RAW AND FINAL GOODS:  THE CASE OF VARIABLE PROPORTIONS TECHNOLOGY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cranfield,   John A.L.
An optimal advertising investment rule is derived for a vertically related, competitive market with traded final and raw goods and processing sector characterized by variable proportions technology and nonconstant returns to scale.  An equilibrium displacement framework incorporating conditional factor demands is used to account for the elasticity of substitution between agricultural and nonagricultural inputs to the marketing channel.  Simulation for the Canadian beef industry in the post-WTO environment demonstrates how optimal advertising intensity ranges between 0.05% and 0.22% of farm-level market revenue.

OPTIMAL CHOICE OF GENERIC MILK ADVERTISING EXPENDITURES BY MEDIA OUTLET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pritchett,   James G.; Liu,   Donald J.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
The largest portion of dairy and milk checkoff funds is spent on generic fluid milk advertising. These funds are distributed among four distinct media outlets-television, radio, print, and outdoor. Spending too little on one media outlet or too much on another constitutes a missed opportunity to garner higher returns. Using 1984-93 data, this study compares historical advertising expenditures in each media outlet to the advertising expenditure decision of an optimal control model. Results show profits would have increased if funds had been reallocated from television to radio, print, and outdoor media outlets.

OPTIMAL COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT IN GENERIC ADVERTISING, EXPORT MARKET PROMOTION AND COST-OF-PRODUCTION REDUCING RESEARCH

Optimal investment rules are developed for a producer agency investing in domestic market generic advertising, export market promotion, and cost of production reducing research.  Analytical results show fundamental difference in optimal investment rules when the producer group is assumed to maximise either producers' surplus or social surplus.  Incorporating a constraint limiting total expenditure on the three activities substantially alters the structure of the optimal investment rules.  Results highlight the importance of accounting for the financing mechanism when modelling optimal producer investment.  Simulation of the optimal intensities suggests the proposed budget of the Canadian Beef Cattle Research Market Development and Promotion Agency...

OPTIMAL COMMODITY PROMOTION IN IMPERFECTLY COMPETITIVE MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhang,   Mingxia; Sexton,   Richard J.
We investigate the optimal collection and expenditure of funds for agricultural commodity promotion in markets where the processing and distribution sectors may exhibit oligopoly and/or oligopsony power.  The conditions that characterize optimal advertising intensity under perfect competition for funds generated from either per-unit or lump-sum taxes do not, in general, hold when marketing is imperfectly competitive.  Simulation analyses show that imperfect competition always reduces farmers’' optimal advertising expenditure and that an imperfectly competitive marketing sector may capture half or more of the benefits from the funds that are expended.

Optimal Coverage Level Choice with Individual and Area Plans of Insurance
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bulut,   Harun; Collins,   Keith J.; Zacharias,   Thomas P.
We theoretically examine a farmer’s coverage demand with area and individual insurance plans as either separate or integrated options. The individual and area losses are assumed to be imperfectly and positively correlated. With actuarially fair rates, the farmer will fully insure with the individual plan and demand no area insurance regardless of the plans being separate or integrated. Under separate plans, free area insurance and the fair rate for individual insurance, area insurance replaces a portion of individual insurance demand. Under integrated plans, free area insurance, and the fair rate for individual insurance, the farmer will over-insure with individual plan and demand additional area insurance.

OPTIMAL FLUID MILK ADVERTISING IN NEW YORK STATE: A CONTROL MODEL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Liu,   Donald J.; Forker,   Olan D.
Generic dairy promotion is big business. The 1983 Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment Act requires that all dairy farmers pay a promotion assessment of 15 cents per hundredweight on all milk sold commercially. Of the total assessment, up to 10 cents may be retained locally to fund regional or state dairy product advertising. The funding for national and state programs combined totals over $200 million annually. Thus, the program involves high stakes and, if not well conducted, can result in substantial losses in opportunity costs to dairy farmers. The size of the potential losses emphasizes the importance of understanding the economics of dairy promotion and the need to increase the efficiency of promotional efforts.  The purpose of this study is to use a...

This paper determines the impact of food industry market power on farmers' incentive to promote in a situation where funds for promotion are raised through a per-unit assessment on farm output and food industry technology is characterized by variable proportions.  Specifically, building on earlier studies by Azzam and by Holloway, Muth's model is extended to consider the farm-level impacts of generic advertising when downstream firms possess oligopoly and/or oligopsony power and advertising expenditure is endogenous at the market level.  Applying the model to the U.S. beef industry, we find that for plausible parameter values market power reduces farmers' incentive to promote.  However, the disincentive is moderated by  factor substitution, and effectively...

Optimal Grain Marketing Revisited: A German and Polish Perspective
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Loy,   Jens-Peter; Pieniadz,   Agata.
Increasing grain price volatility over the last year has revived the discussion on optimal marketing strategies. Various models of optimal grain marketing have been proposed and simulated in the literature. In this study an overview on these models is presented and critical aspects are discussed. Optimal strategies are then applied to the wheat market in Germany and Poland. Results indicate that gains from optimal marketing are rather small and uncertain in the real world, indicating that scientific assistance might be of limited importance. However, an understanding of optimization and price generating processes is likely to improve farmers’ decisions, e.g. if farmers have additional (private) information to improve price forecasts.

Optimal Hedging Strategies for Early-Planted Soybeans in the South
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sayle,   James; Anderson,   John D.; Coble,   Keith H.; Hudson,   Darren.
Soybean production in the South has evolved over recent years from conventional soybean production systems (CSPS) in which soybeans are planted after May 1st to early soybean production systems (ESPS) in which soybeans are planted as early as mid-March.  The shift was aided by the advent of herbicide-tolerant genetically modified soybeans and a shift toward minimum or no-till seedbed preparation.  The ESPS provide an advantage over the CSPS by allowing the crop to surpass critical growth stages before encountering significant environmental, pest, or disease pressure.  The CSPS harvest date only allows for hedging on the November contract, but the ESPS harvest date is generally before September, allowing the producer to hedge on the September contract....

OPTIMAL HEDGING STRATEGIES FOR THE U.S. CATTLE FEEDER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leuthold,   Raymond M.; Noussinov,   Mikhail A.
Multiproduct optimal hedging for simulated cattle feeding is compared to alternative hedging strategies using weekly price data for 1983-95.  Out-of-sample means and variances of hedged feeding margins using estimated hedge ratios for four commodities suggest that there is no consistent domination pattern among the alternative strategies, leaving the hedging decision up to the agent's degree of risk aversion.  However, all hedging strategies significantly reduce the feeding margin's means and variances compared to no hedging, with variance reduction always exceeding 50%.  Hedging results appear quite sensitive to the data set and its size.

OPTIMAL HEDGING WITH VIEWS: A BAYESIAN APPROACH

The optimal hedging model has become the standard theoretical model of normative hedging behavior due to its intuitive tradeoff of expected return with risk, its effcient use of information and its easy implementation. In practice, the model can be easily implemented with the Parameter Certainty Equivalent procedure, which substitutes sample estimates for the true but unknown model parameters. But subjective views, which refer to opinions concerning the directions of market returns of the assets involved in hedging decisions, are either completely ignored or handled in an ad hoc and unsatisfactory manner within the optimal hedging model. Given the widespread use of subjective views in hedging practice and the potential economic benefit of selective...

Optimal Length of Moving Average to Forecast Futures Basis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hatchett,   Robert B.; Brorsen,   B. Wade; Anderson,   Kim B.
The question addressed in this study is which length of historical moving average provides the best forecast of futures basis. Differences in observed forecast accuracy among the different moving averages are usually less than a cent per bushel, and most are not statistically significant. Further, the search for an optimal length of moving average may be futile since the optimal length depends on how much structural change has occurred. Our recommendation is to use moving averages when there has been no structural change and to use last year’s basis or an alternative approach if the forecaster perceives that a structural change has occurred.

This research compares practical preharvest and storage period basis forecasts for hard wheat, soft wheat, corn and soybeans to identify the optimal amount of historical information to include in moving average forecasts. Only with preharvest hard wheat forecasts are the best moving averages longer than 3 years. The differences in forecast accuracy among the different moving averages are...

OPTIMAL MARKETING DECISIONS FOR FEEDER CATTLE UNDER PRICE AND PRODUCTION RISK
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Xuecai; Dorfman,   Jeffrey H.; McKissick,   John C.; Turner,   Steven C.
In many parts of the U.S., beef cattle production is a large sector of the agricultural economy, yet few of the cattle are stockered; instead the production is focused on cow-calf operations only.  Restricting their operation to only the first phase of beef production may be limiting the cattle owners' profit potential.  This paper examines the opportunities for operators to earn additional profit from stockering cattle.  Using a representative risk-averse producer, a decision set with seven possible marketing strategies is elevated for the optimal decision in a Bayesian framework which allows for price and production risk.  We find that in many instances retaining the cattle for stockering is a superior decision when done in conjunction with specific...

Optimal Media Allocation of Generic Fluid Milk Advertising Expenditures: The Case of New York State
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dong,   Diansheng; Schmit,   Todd M.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
A fixed-effects panel data demand model for five New York State markets is estimated to determine the differential impacts of generic fluid milk advertising by media type. Empirical results indicate that among the four media outlets, television advertising has the largest impact on per capita demand, followed by radio, outdoor, and print. Based on the estimated media-specific elasticities, media reallocation of advertising expenditures suggests that milk sales could increase significantly. The results indicate that cooperative media plan strategies developed between the New York regional advertising program and the national advertising programs would achieve the greatest benefits.

Retaliation and other strategic trade policies can be readily observed in world commodity markets. Strategic behaviour can be analysed with game-theoretic models. Game theory is used to assess the effects of retaliation, given that traders assume that rivals will respond to any policy change. Estimates of expected responses are obtained for each trading bloc, and are included in regional welfare functions. These are used to derive a market-cleaning global equilibrium in which domestic prices, trade flow and welfare distribution in each region are determined. Market power among importers relative to exporters determines the effect of changes in expectations of retaliation on optimal trade policies and trade flows. The analysis is applied to a twenty-one...

Optimal Seasonal Allocation of Generic Dairy Advertising Expenditures

Autores: Schmit,   Todd M.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
Annual seasonal advertising expenditure allocations were estimated for the national generic advertising programs for fluid milk and cheese with the use of price and advertising elasticities of demand that varied over time.  Significant variation in optimal allocations existed both across products and over time, emphasizing the importance of obtaining accurate seasonal forecasts that incorporate changes in market conditions to plan future spending allocations.  In the absence of such information, allocating annual budgets equally across quarters still produced positive producer welfare gains on average relative to historical spending that were not statistically different from those realized under the optimal spending strategy.

Optimal Seasonal Allocation of Generic Dairy Advertising Expenditures
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schmit,   Todd M.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
Escalating media advertising costs have prompted shifts away from advertising to non-advertising promotion activities in the dairy industry’s generic commodity promotion program. As advertising budgets become tighter, determining the optimal allocation of these funds becomes particularly important. Optimal seasonal generic advertising expenditure shares for the national fluid milk and cheese generic advertising programs were estimated, with shares higher in the first and fourth quarters for fluid milk and relatively even across quarters for cheese. Estimates of producer welfare gains from re-allocation were substantial, with average welfare gains of 12 to 24 percent of annual advertising investments.

Close supply chain of green agricultural products is defined, consisting of the supplier, manufacturer, distributor, retailer and consumer (customer). Cost structure of distributor is analyzed, mainly including the order activity-based cost, the inventory cost and the supply transportation cost of agricultural products in upstream and downstream enterprises. Based on this, conceptual model of the close supply chain of green agricultural products is established. According to the idea of dynamic planning, optimization model of close supply chain of green agricultural products at four stages is also set up. In other words, under the constraint condition of supply chain and the uncertainty of sales volume, optimization of the sum of inventory cost, supply...

OPTIONS-BASED FORECASTS OF FUTURES PRICES IN THE PRESENCE OF LIMIT MOVES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Egelkraut,   Thorsten M.; Garcia,   Philip.
This analysis examines a simultaneous estimation option-based approach to forecast futures prices in the presence of daily price limit moves. The procedure explicitly allows for changing implied volatilities by estimating the implied futures price and the implied volatility simultaneously. Using 15 years of futures and futures options data for three agricultural commodities, we find that the simultaneous estimation approach accounts for the abrupt changes in implied volatility associated with limit moves and generates more accurate price forecasts than conventional methods that rely on only one implied variable.

Orange Juice: A Private Label Product for the Nineties?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zellner,   James A.
Orange juice began as a branded product in the 1950s, but private and packer labels son became dominant.  Brands gained share during the 1980s with the introduction of a third national brand and the growth of chilled juice.  The large number of packer labels makes brand and private label share measures misleading for structure-performance studies.  Private label appeals to manufacturers who like the lower risk, the absence of slotting allowances, and fewer entry barriers.  Pasteurized orange juice, however, the newest product form to experience rapid private label growth, is uncharacteristic because of large capital investment required for efficient market entry.

Orderly Marketing in Agriculture Revisited
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leathers,   Howard D.
This paper presents a model of economic behavior that explicates the phenomenon known as “orderly marketing,” which was a main objective of the Marketing Orders agricultural program introduced early in the New Deal. Recent analyses of marketing orders start with an implicit assumption that there is no market failure—thus, that price regulation can cause only deviations from the first-best market solution. However, historical evidence suggests that disorderly marketing might refer to a kind of market imperfection. In the model presented here, a monopsonist processor sets a price to be paid, and an aggregate quantity to be purchased. In some states of the world, some farmers are excluded from the market. In other words, nonprice rationing can occur, and...

Organic Rural Innovation Systems and Networks: Findings From a Study of Ethiopian Smallholders
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spielman,   David J.; Davis,   Kristin E.; Negash,   Martha; Gezahegn,   Ayele.
Agriculture in Ethiopia is changing. New players, relationships, and policies are influencing the ways in which information and knowledge are used by smallholders. While this growing complexity suggests opportunities for Ethiopian smallholders, too little is known about how these opportunities can be effectively leveraged to promote pro-poor processes of rural innovation. This paper examines Ethiopia’s smallholder agricultural sector from an innovation systems perspective to understand the changing roles, responsibilities, and interactions of diverse actors in relation to smallholder livelihoods. The paper uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative research tools to paint a picture of the innovation landscape at both the system and local levels....

ORGANIZATION OF NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT IN THAILAND' FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Suwannaporn,   Prisana; Speece,   Mark.
Asian food markets are large and growing very rapidly.  Per capita food consumption is increasing as income rises, and food consumption habits are changing.  Asian food retailing is also changing rapidly, as distribution and transportation modernizes.  Consumers are becoming more sophisticated, with increasing awareness of hygiene and safety, and expectations of better nutrition and more convenience.  This rapid development of food markets creates opportunities in food processing as great as in high tech industries (Selwin, 1992).  It also puts pressure on food manufacturers to continuously upgrade their products and to offer new products.  Management of research and development (R&amp;D) is becoming critical to competitiveness.

The pharmaceutical industry invests its sales force in contacts with doctors, making visits and publicizing its drugs, in order for them to prescribe these products to their patients. This work discusses the structure of the pharmaceutical market and how marketing strategies are used by laboratories in their relations with doctors and with the owners of pharmacies and drugstores. The cases of two laboratories, Aché and Boehringer Ingelheim, which serve as the reference for this study, are presented and discussed. The work demonstrates the difficulties arising from the lack of doctors, lack of assistance and the disloyal and unfair competition between ethical and promotional products. It was observed that the industries should improve their guidance and...

Pandora’s Box: Does Electronic Commerce Increase the Optimal Amount of Fraud?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Welling,   Michael; Krebs,   Alexander; Graefe,   Gernot.
Close business relationships are important in the food industry. However, the introduction of electronic commerce has emerged as a fundamental challenge to these relationships. In particular, retailers who start procuring private label food products in electronic auctions risk the termination of the relationships with their suppliers thus losing the value derived from these relationships. Instead, they move their focal interest towards single, unrelated transactions. The authors argue that this development increases the optimal amount of fraud in electronic commerce. In this context, they analyze the occurrence of opportunism.

PANEL DATA DOUBLE-HURDLE MODEL: AN APPLICATION TO DAIRY ADVERTISING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dong,   Diansheng; Chung,   Chanjin; Kaiser,   Harry M.
In this study, we extend to panel data structures the double-hurdle model typically used in cross-sectional data.  The new double-hurdle model can account not only for the censored nature of commodity purchases, but also for the dynamics of the purchase process.  In this model, a flexible error structure is assumed to account for state dependence and household-specific heterogeneity.  In the empirical application for milk purchase, we find that generic advertising increases the probability of market participation as well as the purchase quantity and incidence.  Temporal dependence is also found in both purchase and participation equations.

PARAGUAYAN SUPERMARKET DEVELOPMENT AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PRODUCE INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Balsevich,   Fernando.
In the 1990s, the supermarket sector grew outpacing several times the economy's growth. Even when the sector was dominated by domestic firms and per capita income fell considerable, supermarkets increased their share on national Fresh Fruit and Vegetable (FFV) consumption from 10% in 1992 to 30% in 2001. The article analyses the rise of supermarkets and the impact of its procurement system on the produce industry using a value chain approach.  It shows that as supermarket supply chains are buying less from domestic traditional wholesale markets and shifting toward importing, that means steadily falling demand for local suppliers. Also the implementation of international procurement systems put the growers in direct competition with the export markets but...

PARAMETRIC AND NONPARAMETRIC MARKET POWER TESTS: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Noelke,   Corinna M.; Raper,   Kellie Curry.
Parametric and nonparametric market power tests most commonly used to assess imperfectly competitive behavior are identified.  Monte Carlo experiments are used to assess the accuracy of eight nonparametric tests.  The results are compared to Raper, Love, and Shumway's (1997) findings concerning three parametric market power tests in the Bresnahan-Lau tradition.  Both monopolistic and monopsonistic market power tests are implemented using data from 10 known market structures.  Only two of the nonparametric market power tests distinguish between market structures adequately.  The parametric tests perform well, although functional form bias is not investigated in this study.

Partial Implementation of COOL: Economic Effects in the U.S. Seafood Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Joseph,   Siny; Lavoie,   Nathalie; Caswell,   Julie A.
Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) was implemented on seafood in the United States on April 4, 2005. MCOOL exempts the foodservice sector and excludes processed seafood from labeling. This paper contributes to understanding the economics of the MCOOL law for seafood by showing that current partial implementation may have unintended consequences on the domestic supply chain. While labeling satisfies the market demand for information provision in one market, exemptions in the other market may create incentives for the diversion of imports, which are assumed to be lower in quality than domestic seafood, to the non-labeled sector. Analyzing alternate scenarios such as voluntary labeling shows that total welfare may be greatest under this scenario...

Partially Overlapping Time Series: A New Model for Volatility Dynamics in Commodity Futures
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Smith,   Aaron D.
In commodity futures markets, contracts with various delivery dates trade simultaneously. Applied researchers typically discard the majority of the data and form a single time series by choosing only one price observation per day. This strategy precludes a full understanding of these markets and can induce complicated nonlinear dynamics in the data. In this paper, I introduce the partially overlapping time series (POTS) model to model jointly all traded contracts. The POTS model incorporates time-to-delivery, storability, seasonality, and GARCH effects. I apply the POTS model to corn futures at the Chicago Board of Trade and the results uncover substantial inefficiency associated with delivery on corn futures. The results also support two theories of...

PARTICIPATION AND LEARNING IN AUCTIONS: BIDDING DECISIONS IN EGYPTIAN OILSEED AUCTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   William W.; Wilson,   Wesley W.
Auctions are common mechanisms for identifying prices and suppliers of commodities and are particularly important in agricultural marketing.  Information asymmetries among bidders may be ameliorated over time through some form of learning.  In this study, we incorporate prior decisions to participate, information from previous auctions, and firm-specific attributes to explain both the decision to bid and the level of the bid.  Our analysis uses data from Egyptian oilseed tenders, an important market both for oilseeds and tendering.  Because of the unbalanced nature of the panel data, we are able to evaluate the effects of signals received from previous tenders.  We find that firms learn from previous auctions and can gain an informational advantage through...

Pass-Through in United States Beef Cattle Prices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhao,   Huan; Du,   Xiaodong; Hennessy,   David A.
Feeder cattle are fattened to become fed live cattle six months later. The U.S. feeder cattle industry is intensively competitive, so that market efficiency suggests feeder cattle prices should fully reflect feed prices and information on future fed cattle prices. Employing a long time series (1979-2004) of feeder cattle futures, live cattle futures, and local corn prices, we test whether complete pass-through occurs. The results indicate that an increase of a dollar per hundred pounds in the live cattle price leads to an increase of approximately $1.48 per hundred pounds in the feeder cattle price in one month, about 93% of complete pass-through. The corresponding negative effect of a corn price increase is about 87% of complete pass-through. By contrast...

Autores: Nivens,   Heather D.; Kastens,   Terry L.; Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.
In production agriculture, good management is demonstrated by profits that are persistenly greater than those of similar neighboring farms.  This research examined the effects of management practices on risk-adjusted profit per acre for Kansas farms over 1990-1999.  The management practices were price, cost, yield, planting intensity, and technology adoption (less-tillage).  Cost management, planting intensity, and technology adoption had the greatest effect on profit per acre, and cash price management was found to have the smallest impact.  If producers wish to have continuously high profits, their efforts are best spent in management practices over which they have the most control.

This study is based on data collected from 141 family-type farms in the Yatenga province in Burkina Faso. A probit approach is used to analyze the effect of perception of land degradation and other factors on the adoption of zaï and stone rows. The results of the estimation show that the availability of organic matter from small ruminants is determinant for the adoption of both zaï and stone rows. Although most of farmers are aware of the causes and consequences of land degradation, this factor does not significantly impact on farmers’ decision to invest in SWC measures. Opportunities do exist for making more efficient use of local sources of nutrients, such as small ruminants’ organic matter in combination with locally accepted SWC measures. This may...

Autores: Marsh,   Julia W.; Pennings,   Joost M.E.; Garcia,   Philip.
Traders' perceptions drive their market behavior, and can influence the dynamics of liquidity. This study surveyed 420 traders on their perceptions of the price path during an order imbalance to better understand the dynamics of liquidity. While most liquidity models assume a linear price path, only 12% of traders perceive such a path. This raises questions on the validity of such models. There is considerable heterogeneity in the perceptions of the price path. While trader characteristics are often used to classify traders, trader characteristics do not explain the heterogeneity in perceptions. On the other hand, traders of a specific contract are associated with particular perceptions of the price path. This indicates that market microstructure may be...

Survey results indicate that there are differences among producer groups, particularly with respect to information access and interpretation and pooling cattle.

PERFECT CROSS-HEDGING OPPORTUNITIES VIA FORMULA PRICING: THE CASE OF THE BROILER INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carter,   Joy; Maynard,   Leigh J.; Dillon,   Carl R.
One supplier of broilers without giblets (WOGs) offers customers a choice between paying Urner Barry's WOG quote or a formula price based on futures prices.  From a buyer's perspective, the formula price is second-degree stochastic dominant, thus acting a marketing inducement.  The formula price allows the seller to set almost perfect cross-hedges of WOGs with corn and soymeal.  Stochastic dominance results suggested that the seller's dominant strategy would shift from the unhedged Urner Barry quote to the unhedged formula price as risk aversion increased.  The hedged formula price was prominent in optimal portfolios of pricing strategies.

Autores: Olubanjo,   O.O.; Womiloju,   S.O.; Akanni,   Kassim Adekunle.
The study analyzed the performance of cycle traders in the marketing of foodstuffs in Mamu, Ogun State, Nigeria. A survey was carried out in the boundary market over five cycle market days across one hundred and fifty (150) foodstuffs traders. Cycle traders were grouped into fifteen (15) homogenous foodstuffs trading categories. Descriptive analytical tools were then used to analyse the socio-demographic characteristics of foodstuffs marketers in the market. Further, quantitative analytical tools were used to analyse the extent of inequalities in the stock levels and trade volume, market expenditures, and returns to traders. Results revealed that majority of the cycle traders in the sample had low educational attainment, and were married into polygamous...

PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED PRE-HARVEST AND POST-HARVEST CORN AND SOYBEAN MARKETING STRATEGIES VS. ALTERNATIVE MARKET BENCHMARKS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blue,   E. Neal; Wisner,   Robert N.; Baldwin,   E. Dean.
This study was undertaken to update earlier work by the authors that analyzed selected preharvest pricing strategies utilizing options markets to establish a price floor for part of the crop in the spring, with additional pricing done by use of short hedges in early summer. The timing of implementing these strategies was moved back to late February if the previous year's U.S. crop was a weather-induced short crop. A weather-induced short crop as opposed to a government program induced short crop was defined as one in which U.S. production fell below the previous year's use and the U.S. average yield was at least 6% below a trend yield. Previous work by the authors indicated that selected pre-harvest strategies applied to actual farms in Iowa and Ohio over...

Phase Space Reconstruction and Nonlinear Equilibrium Dynamics in the United States Beef Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McCullough,   Michael; Marsh,   Thomas L.; Huffaker,   Ray G.
This paper investigates dynamic interactions in the US beef market using phase space reconstruction, which has been developed to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems.  This approach provides important and unique empirical insights into consumers’ behavior in the beef market. Our results from a phase space reconstruction analysis demonstrate distinct differences between intertemporal short run impacts from food safety outbreaks (e.g., E. Coli) and longer run health effects (e.g., cholesterol).  Adjustments due to factors such as cholesterol are permanent changes and do not affect the manner by which people consume, while consumers react to food safety scares by adjusting consumption for a short period of time and then returning to their normal steady state...

ABSTRACT: The demand for beef cattle with specific traits is evident from sales in auctions. While purchasing, buyers consider individual traits (e.g., muscularity, frame, racial composition, and weight) as predictors of quality, and adjust their bids according to their preferences. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of phenotypic and racial characteristics in determining the final sale price of calves of beef cattle in official auctions at the western border of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Five-hundred and seven lots of calves sold in calf auctions from five cities on the western border of Rio Grande do Sul were evaluated. The assignment of visual scores was based on their genetic group, frame, muscularity, and coat. Analysis of...

The aim of this study is to estimate the effects of phenotypic traits on the final price of calves sold at auctions in the region of northern Paraná. Data were collected between April 2011 and April 2012 at 12 auctions, in which 197 lots were offered, totaling 4,289 animals. In this study, only the final prices charged when the deals were closed have been considered. Calves belonging to the British genetic group reached higher marketing value than zebu calves; the largest animals presented higher liquidity; buyers preferred more uniform lots, regardless of the sex of the animals.

This paper presents a case study of an organic vegetable farm, designed for a senior undergraduate farm business management or agribusiness course, and is accompanied by a teaching note which includes suggested analysis. Phil Foster is the owner and manager of Phil Foster Ranches, a 252-acre organic vegetable, fruit, and nut farm in the Central Coast Valley of California. Until the last few years, most of the sales were to a number of produce brokers who sold the produce for Phil in the wholesale market on a commission basis. Believing he could get better prices by selling direct to retailers, two years ago Phil started a local delivery route to small grocery stores wishing to sell organic produce. The delivery route has enjoyed success, but now requires...

Philippine Rice and Rural Poverty: An Impact Analysis of Market Reform Using CGE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cororaton,   Caesar B.
This paper looks at how Philippine trade reform which consists of tariff reduction and elimination of quantitative restrictions (QR) on rice imports will affect poverty within two world trade scenarios: Doha and free world trade. The impact of Doha is very small and generates biased effects against agriculture. The impact of Philippine trade reform within the Doha agenda magnifies this biased effect, making rural households worse-off compared to urban households. However, eliminating rice QR generates a set of effects where consumer price reduction dominates nominal income decline. Thus, real income improves and poverty declines across household groups, but the net effects are lower in rural than in urban households. The impact of a free world trade...

Pigs in Cyberspace: A Natural Experiment Testing Differences between Online and Offline Club-Pig Auctions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Roe,   Brian E.; Wyszynski,   Timothy E.
We find sale prices and net revenues received by sellers in the Midwestern club pig market are higher at traditional face-to-face auctions than at comparable Internet auctions.  The comparison overcomes adverse selection issues that commonly plague such analyses by using data from sellers that allocated pigs to both markets based solely on exogenous differences in dates between online and offline auctions.  Furthermore, both auctions feature ascending price formats with ‘soft-endings’ and remaining quality variation is controlled by using detailed information on animal, seller and event characteristics.  The results suggest that the higher prices and net revenues from traditional auctions are attributable to remaining differences in auction format and...

Policies and Public Investments to Promote Smallholder Green Revolutions in Africa: Lessons from Asia
Provedor de dados: 31
Many parts of Asia have achieved impressive gains in agricultural productivity and poverty reduction over the past half-century. By contrast, sustained agricultural development remains elusive in most of Africa. Policy makers are struggling to find the answers but there is no consensus about what the right mix of policies and public investments are. Can African policy makers learn from Asia’s green revolution? Conditions differ in many respects between Africa and Asia, as well as across countries within Africa, and the impacts of various investments and policies in Asia may not necessarily produce the same impacts in Africa. However, it is instructive to understand the mix of public investments and policies that helped many Asian countries achieve their...

Policy distortions in the segmented rice market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rakotoarisoa,   Manitra A.
High production and export subsidies in developed countries and high protection in both developed and developing countries have distorted rice trade. This study estimates the impact of rice policy distortions on developing countries’ rice production and trade potential. Because rice markets are highly segmented, major rice types are differentiated to estimate the impact of current and likely policy reforms. Analysis in long-grain, high-quality rice focuses on rice import and export markets in Latin America and shows that reduction of direct and implicit export subsidies in the US will benefit regional suppliers such as Argentina and Uruguay. Analysis of Indonesia’s import market of ordinary long-grain rice, where protection is high, reveals that tariff...

Policy Impact Analysis on Investments and Disinvestments under Competition: A Real Options Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Feil,   Jan-Henning; Musshoff,   Oliver.
In consequence of changes in general conditions, a higher level of investments and disinvestments in agriculture can be expected. To date, however, there are no policy impact analyses on both investments and disinvestments in competitive agricultural markets in a dynamic-stochastic context. This paper aims to develop a conceptual real options market model, which allows the impact assessment of different political schemes on investment and disinvestment thresholds and the sectoral welfare. Exemplarily, the effects of price floors, investment subsidies and production ceilings are analysed. The results show that the consideration of limited reversibility, that is disinvestments, is of relevance as it can impact the assessment of specific policies.

Policy Options for Improving Market Participation and Sales of Smallholder Livestock Producers: A case study of Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ehui,   Simeon K.; Benin,   Samuel; Paulos,   Zelekawork.
Market access plays an essential role in assuring better income and welfare levels for smallholder livestock producers, and thus contributes to poverty alleviation. This is even more so in the Ethiopian context where livestock play an essential role in the economy. Making use of the Heckman estimation procedure, this paper identifies policy and technology options to increase participation and sales of smallholder producers in livestock markets in Ethiopia, based on data from 934 household surveys conducted between 1999 and 2001 in the highlands of Tigray and Amhara regions in northern Ethiopia. The analysis demonstrates that physical capital (ownership of different species of livestock and landholding) and financial capital (crop income and non-farm...

The ethnic Asian market in Washington and Oregon constitutes a sizable niche market for fresh Canadian pork. Since California possesses a large population segment that originates from Asia, the characteristics of the ethnic Asian-origin market in the northern part of that State are also of interest since this may also be a potential niche market for Canadian pork. The objectives of the first part of this study are to evaluate the Asian ethnic markets for fresh pork in the United States Pacific Northwest and Vancouver. In the second part of the project the assessment of the market for fresh pork by Asian-origin consumers was extended to San Francisco. In this extension, a detailed assessment was also made of the product preferences for fresh pork by...

This study addresses changes in the organization of the U.S. pork industry, most notably marketing contracts between packers and producers, by exploring their function in addressing pork quality concerns. A number of developments brought quality concerns to the forefront. These include health concerns and corresponding preferences for lean pork, a decline in other quality attributes, heightened concerns over food safety and related regulatory programs, and expansion into global markets. Organizational arrangements can facilitate industry efforts to address pork quality needs by reducing measuring costs, controlling quality attributes that are difficult to measure, facilitating adaptations to changing quality standards, and reducing transaction costs...

This study extends previous work on the impact of commodity futures on portfolio performance by explicitly incorporating levered futures into the portfolio optimization problem.  Using data on nine individual commodity futures and one aggregate index from 1994-2003, we find that collateralized and levered futures strategies perform similarly in an ex-post context.  Significant differences between the approaches emerge however when constraints on investment behavior exist.  Further, levered futures do not result in a prohibitive number of margin calls.  The investment performances of the collateralized and the levered strategies vary little across different rebalancing intervals, and frequent portfolio rebalancing does not necessarily result in superior...

Autores: Buccola,   Steven T.
The production or marketing portfolio that is optimal under the assumption of quadratic utility may or may not be optimal under the assumption of exponential utility.  In certain cases, the necessary and sufficient condition for an identical solution is that absolute risk aversion coefficients associated with the two utility functions be the same.  In other cases, equality of risk aversion coefficients is a sufficient condition only.  A comparison is made between use of exponential and quadratic utility in the analysis of a California farmer’s marketing problem.

Portfolios of Agricultural Market Advisory Services: How Much Diversification is Enough?

Autores: Cabrini,   Silvina M.; Stark,   Brian G.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.; Martines-Filho,   Joao Gomes.
This study analyzes the potential risk-reduction gains from naïve diversification among market advisory services for corn and soybeans.  The total possible decrease in risk through naïve diversification is small, mainly because advisory prices are highly correlated on average.  Moreover, because marginal risk-reduction benefits decrease rapidly with size and the cost of holding the portfolios increases linearly due to services’ subscription fees, it is optimal to limit portfolio size to a few advisory programs.  Based on certainty equivalent measures and two representative risk-aversion levels, preferred portfolio sizes are between one and three programs.

Agricultural market advisory services offer specific advice to farmers on how to market their commodities.  Farmers can subscribe to one or more of these services and follow their advice as a way of managing price risk.  According to portfolio theory, a combination of these services may have risk/return benefits compared to individual services.  This report analyzes the potential risk reduction gains from naïve diversification among market advisory services for corn and soybeans.  Results show that increasing the number of (equal-weighting) services reduces portfolio expected risk, but the marginal decrease in risk from adding a new service decreases rapidly with portfolio size.  The risk reduction benefits of naïve diversification among advisory services...

POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF A COURSE IN COMMODITY EXCHANGES AND FUTURES TRADING TO A STUDENT'S GENERAL EDUCATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gauthier,   Wayne M.
General education courses are important in preparing a student for life. Often, agricultural economics courses are perceived to be vocational and not particularly well-suited to the development of life-long skills. This paper considers the eight life-long skills cited as being important to a student's general education at Louisiana State University and argues that varied bits of subject matter presented in the Commodity Exchange and Futures Trading Course contribute to the development of each one of these skills. Such contributions need to be pointed out to those who argue for more general education courses in the curriculum at the expense of discipline courses.

Autores: Chudleigh,   Peter D.
An economic evaluation of two Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) projects in the area of postharvest technology for tropical fruits was undertaken. This evaluation considered a 30 year time period from the first year of investment and assumed a discount rate of 5 per cent. The estimate of the net present value of the research and development investment was $93 million expressed in 1996/97 terms. The benefit–cost ratio was 38:1 and the internal rate of return estimated at 64 per cent.  If benefits realised by 1996/97 were considered, the net present value was $30 million, the benefit–cost ratio was 13:1, and the internal rate of return was 63 per cent.  Benefits accrued to both Thailand and Australia, with the proportion of...

Potato Marketing – Factors Affecting Organic and Conventional Potato Consumption Patterns
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yue,   Chengyan; Grebitus,   Carola; Bruhn,   Maike; Jensen,   Helen H.
In producing potatoes the treatment for disease and pests could be more difficult and costly for organic producers than for conventional. Hence, consumers’ attitudes and willingness to pay for organic potatoes need to be considered in a grower’s choice of production technologies. A bivariate probit model and cluster analysis were applied to survey data to evaluate factors that influenced Germany consumers’ consumption patterns for conventional and organic potatoes. The results show that consumers associate organic potatoes with healthy ingredients, trustable origin and food safety. But a lack of varieties and inferior appearance of organic potatoes limit consumer interest in the organic products. With regard to socio-demographics, consumers with higher...

Potential demand for hedging by Australian wheat producers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Simmons,   Phil; Rambaldi,   Alicia N.
The potential for hedging Australian wheat with the new Sydney Futures Exchange wheat contract is examined using a theoretical hedging model parametised from previous studies. The optimal hedging ratio for an `average' wheat farmer was found to be zero under reasonable assumptions about transaction costs and based on previously published measures of risk aversion. The estimated optimal hedging ratios were found by simulation to be quite sensitive to assumptions about the degree of risk aversion. If farmers are significantly more risk averse than is currently believed, then there is likely to be an active interest in the new futures market.

Autores: Palma,   Marco A.; Ribera,   Luis A.; Bessler,   David A.; Paggi,   Mechel S.; Knutson,   Ronald D.
This study investigates the potential impacts of food safety outbreaks on domestic shipments, imports, and prices of the produce industry. Three case studies were analyzed to assess these potential impacts: the cantaloupe outbreak of March–April 2008, the spinach outbreak of September 2006, and the tomato outbreak of June–July 2008. Data-determined historical decompositions were conducted to provide a weekly picture of domestic shipment, import, and price fluctuation transmissions. The empirical analysis based on a vector autoregression (VAR) model showed differences in the results depending on the source of the outbreak (domestic vs. imported).

POTENTIAL OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT TO INCREASE RURAL EMPLOYMENT

The paper examined whether increasing agricultural output would lead to an expansion of employment in rural areas in the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The paper found that the agricultural development problems in the Caribbean and SSA are very similar, especially, declining export demand for products, adverse trade policies and the actions of nature, causing damage to  agricultural production.  The simulations performed showed that  in both regions, even a 4% annual increase in agricultural output has the potential for annually increasing agricultural employment by over 6%, even with an annual technical progress of 1.5% in the case of SSA and 2% in the case of the Caribbean.  Expanding rural employment through expansion of agricultural output is...

Power Struggle in the Food Chain? Lessons from Empirical Studies on Power Influences in Chains and Marketing Channels
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Belaya,   Vera; Hanf,   Jon Henrich.
Power plays a key role in any chain relationship. In the past large manufacturers such as Unilever and Nestle were the most dominant players in the chain. However, as a result of consolidation among retailers, power has shifted towards retailers. Nowadays such retailers as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Tesco are seen as powerful gatekeepers controlling the access to the end consumer. Moreover, branded manufacturers and large multinational retailers become increasingly dependent on fewer and larger suppliers who can deliver high quality products at competitive prices. Since many decades there is discussion going on about the role of power in chains and marketing channels. In order to understand how power and its interactions with other constructs in the chain...

Prairie Crop Diversification
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Smith,   Elwin G.; Young,   Douglas L.; Zentner,   Robert P.
The Canadian prairies traditionally have been dominated by spring wheat production. Crop diversification is now being advocated to enhance farm-level risk management, ecological benefits, nutrient cycling, and pest and disease control, and to reduce the farm economy’s reliance on income from a single crop. There has always been interest in diversifying away from wheat, but until recently, economically feasible alternatives have been limited, and government policies may have constrained the shift to other crops. Knowing the impact of prices and policies on crop diversification is essential to understanding producer response and to determining strategies to enhance cropping diversity.

Preferential Cattle and Hog Pricing by Packers: Evidence from Mandatory Price Reports
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.
Preferential pricing was one of several concerns leading to mandatory price reporting.  Seven years of “new” data from mandatory reports are examined to determine if evidence exists of preferential pricing by packers for fed cattle and slaughter hogs.  Weekly data show some alternative marketing methods track closer to cash market prices than others.  Some differences can be explained, while others are not as clear.  Evidence was found that cash prices lead prices for alternative marketing methods on rising markets but trail them on declining markets.

PRE-HARVEST PRICING STRATEGIES IN OHIO CORN MARKETS: THEIR EFFECT ON RETURNS AND CASH FLOW
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zulauf,   Carl R.; Larson,   Donald W.; Alexander,   Christopher K.; Irwin,   Scott H.
This paper contributes to the debate on whether pre-harvest pricing strategies can improve returns over cash sales at harvest.  It also examines cash flow needs of such strategies.  The analysis is conducted for Ohio corn produced from 1986 through 1999.  The pre-harvest strategies evaluated (short futures, long put, synthetic long put, put-call fence) did not statistically improve returns over cash sales at harvest.  However, if implemented during or before planting, these naïve strategies reduced the standard deviation of annual gross income.  Substantial cash flow may be incurred, either to establish the strategy or meet margin calls.  Therefore, assessments of pre-harvest pricing strategies should include cash flow needs, along with return and risk....

Preispolitik für ökologische Lebensmittel: Eine neo-institutionalistische Analyse
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spiller,   Achim.
Price premiums are recognized as a central barrier for the diffusion of organic food. On average, the consumer has to pay about 50 % more for organic food than for comparable products. This is also true for large retailers although considerable economies of scale could be expected. Against this background the following article analyzes pricing strategies of supermarkets. It appears evident that higher prices of organic food reflect higher costs of production and lower output, but primarily this is due to inefficient structures in processing and marketing. Furthermore, the pressures of competition in the market are low; price reductions and bargain sales are avoided by competitors. If the premium prices are compared with the results of market research, a...

One of the most crucial problems facing the U.S. economy is the possibility of a terrorist attack on its food sector.  The implications can be profound for its stakeholders, who are highly dependent on this sector for their economic livelihood as well as their food supplies. The U.S. Bioterrorism Act of 2002 was enacted to improve the ability of the United States to prevent, prepare for and respond to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies. One of the important features of the U.S. Bioterrorism Act of 2002 is its emphasis on prevention, a change from prior legislation that focused on punishments after an incidence had occurred. The U.S. Bioterrorism Act does not address food safety issues in general; its focus is to prevent intentional...

Under a market setting, we analyse the impact of legal liability on prevention, taking into account the possible limited wealth of firms. We show that under strict liability, firms my choose ex ante not to be able to fully indemnify victims ex post: whatever the market structure, they may use limited liability strategically by investing in prevention in excess of what is socially optimal. The negligence rule prevents firms from over-investment. For high levels of damages, under both liability rules, firms exert an insufficient effort of prevention. A welfare analysis established that when the judgment proof problem is acute, the optimal public intervention ranges from banning the production to imposing the negligence rule.

Price and Cost Impacts of Concentration in Food Manufacturing Revisited
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lopez,   Rigoberto A.; Liron-Espana,   Carmen.
This study estimates the elasticities of wholesale food prices, cost efficiency, and market power with respect to industrial concentration in 35 food processing industries, modifying the model of Lopez, Azzam, and Lirón-España (2002). In contrast to the results of their earlier analysis, findings of this study indicate that further increases in concentration would result in significant processing cost savings (and Lerner index increases) in nearly all industries and that output prices would decline in nearly 50% of the industries, although significantly so in only 20% of them. As industrial concentration rises, price declines occur in industries with low levels of concentration while price increases occur in highly concentrated industries.

In this paper, a two-equation sample selection model is used to estimate a household demand function for salmon incorporating domestic generic advertising. The twoequation estimation procedure, based on purchase and unit value equations, allows us to handle heavily censored panel data for salmon purchases by Norwegian households and the quality effects simultaneously. Unit values of the aggregated salmon commodity calculated from the observed expenditures and quantities are hypothesized to represent the average quality of the purchased commodity. Advertising effects on both purchases and unit values are investigated. The model also allows us to separate the effects of conditional purchases and purchase probabilities.

PRICE AND QUANTITY EFFECTS OF CANADA'S DAIRY ADVERSTISING PROGRAMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.; Belleza,   Evelyn T.
An equilibrium-displacement model is combined with econometric estimates of key model parameters to identify the impacts of Canada's dairy advertising programs on prices and quantity.  Results suggest increased advertising of fluid milk enhances the farm value of milk but has minimal effect on government costs of the dairy price-support program.  Owing to government intervention in the butter market, increased butter advertising has no effect on the farm value of milk, at least in the short run, but is highly effective at reducing government costs.  Advertising is most effective, ceteris paribus, in markets where retail demand and wholesale supply for the specific dairy product are relatively price inelastic.

Autores: Williams,   Christine H.; Bewley,   Ronald A.
In a competitive market with free information flows, spatial arbitrage will ensure that average prices at geographically separate markets will move in unison. The speed of adjustment is related to information flows between markets; if adjustment lags exist, there may be opportunities for arbitragers to gain. The transmission of price information is modelled using Johansen's procedure and the existence of long-run arbitrage opportunities is investigated. An innovation analysis is used to examine the varying responses to changes in prices at spatially separate markets.

Price Cointegration Analyses of Food Crop Markets: The case of Wheat and Teff Commodities in Northern Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jaleta,   Moti; Gebremedhin,   Berhanu.
This paper examines the cointegration of grain market prices in Northern Ethiopia. Results are based on bi-monthly retail price data on wheat and teff collected from six markets in the Tigray region of Northern Ethiopia. The data has 55 observations for each of the two crops in each of the six markets ranging over a period of May 2006 to October 2008. Johansen’s cointegration test reveals that most markets are cointegrated in wheat and teff retail prices. There is an indication that retail prices at Abi-Adi, a town located relatively farther away from the main asphalt road, is less integrated to other markets. This implies that infrastructural development is crucial for spatial market integration through market information transmission and physical...

Autores: Ward,   Clement E.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
As cattle markets have transitioned from predominantly cash market sealed-bid or negotiated price discovery to more formula pricing, marketing agreements, forward contracts, and packer-owned cattle feeding, concerns about methods of price discovery for fed cattle have escalated. High levels of concentration in beef packing in Canada were exacerbated by cattle trade restrictions with the United States that limited market access and thus caused further unease with the price discovery process for fed cattle in Canada.

PRICE DISCOVERY FOR STOCKER CATTLE FUTURES AND OPTIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Diersen,   Matthew A.; Klein,   Nicole L.
Low trading volume in the CME stocker cattle contracts has made hedgers and speculators reluctant to use the contracts. Traders need decision tools to discover prices or to evaluate quoted prices that may not contain all the information in the market. The number of head of stocker weight cattle sold on the spot market has increased in recent years while the practice of cross-hedging stocker weight cattle against the feeder cattle contract remains risky. A model explains the spread  between feeder cattle and stocker cattle futures prices as a function of feed prices, live cattle prices, and seasonal factors. The volatility of spot stocker cattle prices is comparable to spot feeder cattle prices, supporting the idea of using feeder cattle implied volatility...

Price Discovery in Private Cash Forward Markets  - The Case of Lumber
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sanders,   Dwight R.; Manfredo,   Mark R.
Cash forward contracting is a common, and often preferred, means of managing price risk for agribusinesses. Despite this, little is known about the performance of cash forward markets, in particular the role they play in price discovery. The lumber market provides a unique case for examining this issue. The Bloch Lumber Company maintains an active cash forward market for many lumber products, and publishes benchmark forward prices on their website and disseminates these prices to data vendors. Focusing on 2x4 random lengths lumber and 7/16 oriented strand board, this research examines the lead-lag relationships between the three-month forward prices published by Bloch Lumber and representative spot prices. Results suggest that at least for 2x4 random...

Pricing function using world sugar futures (WSF) has received limited research interest. Findings indicate that WSF and cash prices for the Dominican Republic appears cointegrated with changing relationships. Previous work suggests that futures markets price the cheapest quality of commodities deliverable on contracts. Cointegration results are consistent with this argument.

PRICE DISCOVERY IN THINLY TRADED MARKETS: CASH AND FUTURES RELATIONSHIPS IN BRAZILIAN AGRICULTURAL FUTURES MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mattos,   Fabio; Garcia,   Philip.
This study investigates the relationship between cash and futures prices in the Brazilian agricultural market, focusing on the effects of trading activity on the price discovery mechanism of futures markets. The results are mixed, but several points begin to emerge. In general, higher trading activity is linked to the presence of long-run equilibrium relationships between cash and futures prices. In these cases, futures prices appear to play a more dominant role in the pricing process. In more lightly traded markets, neither long-run relationships nor short-run leads and lags can be found. Where short-run interactions exist, they are simultaneous in nature but weak.  Overall, our findings suggest that the level of market activity necessary to develop...

PRICE DISCOVERY IN WHEAT FUTURES MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yang,   Jian; Leatham,   David J.
This paper examines the price discovery function for three U.S. wheat futures markets: the Chicago Board of Trade, Kansas City Board of Trade, and Minneapolis Grain Exchange. The maintained hypothesis is that futures markets search more for information than cash markets to find an equilibrium price, thus greatly improving the price discovery function. The tests reveal the existence of one equilibrium price across the three futures markets in the long run, but no cointegration among prices in the three representative cash markets.

PRICE EFFECTS OF WOOL MARKETING INNOVATIONS: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jackson,   Brenda; Spinks,   Murray.
Conflicting claims are often made about the price effects of specific wool marketing innovations. In this paper, a regression model is used to estimate the price effects of two innovations, namely, computerised selling by separation and pre-sale, dense packaging of wool. The results are indicative of aggregate price differentials between wool sold via the 'normal' system and via an innovative system for the particular wool types and sale dates analysed. The extent to which price effects may be offset by differences in selling charges is also considered. In addition, some underlying reasons for price differences, where they exist, are proposed.

Price efficiency and speculative trading in cocoa futures markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nardella,   Michele.
In recent years a number of market participants called into question the efficiency of the price discovery mechanism in commodity futures markets. They believe that speculators move commodity futures markets away from their fundamentals by distorting prices and exacerbating volatility. The smoking gun of these allegations is the empirical observation that speculative buying (selling) precedes movements in the cocoa futures markets. Among soft commodities, the cocoa futures market represents an interesting case study. In the last decades, speculators’ open interest is increased by nearly 4 times, fuelling the apprehension of practitioners and market analysts. This paper evaluates the efficiency of the price discovery mechanism in cocoa futures markets....

PRICE PREMIUMS FROM A CERTIFIED FEEDER CALF PRECONDITIONING PROGRAM

Autores: Ward,   Clement E.; Lalman,   David L.
Preconditioning calf programs, while not new, are becoming more prevalent. They provide benefits to cow-calf producers while adding value for feeder cattle buyers. However, questions remain regarding the marginal returns from marketing preconditioned calves exceeds the marginal costs for preconditioning. This paper reports estimates from two models to determine the premium paid by feeder cattle buyers for preconditioned calves in the Oklahoma Quality Beef Network (OQBN) program. One model assumes feeder calf characteristics are independent as most previous research. The other assumes interdependency between several characteristics that are affected by preconditioning. Data were from seven feeder calf sales in Oklahoma in 2001 and another seven sales in...

Although most U.S. tree nuts have very specific and different uses, some substitutability does occur, complicating the price analysis in the tree nut market. We examine the relationships among U.S. tree nut prices using the Johansen’s cointegration procedure. We found long run equilibrium among some nut prices, namely, pecans, walnuts, and almonds. These findings are consistent with recent suggestions that cointegration exist among substitutes.

Price Setting in Food SMEs: Which Role for Marketing Capability? An Empirical Analysis in Italy
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Banterle,   Alessandro; Carraresi,   Laura; Cavaliere,   Alessia.
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,...

Price Transmission and Marketing Margins in the Slovenian Beef and Pork Markets During Transition
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bojnec,   Stefan.
As in many other transition countries processing and marketing margins are also larger in the Slovenian meat market than respective margins in market economies. In addition, margin of the Slovenian pork chain is greater than in the beef chain. Its decline in the pork market indicates an adjustment to more competitive markets. Co-integration models are applied to estimate vertical price transmission and to examine margins and degree of competition in the meat marketing chains. Results indicate the existence of a long run equilibrium regarding vertical price transmission in the beef and pork sectors. Both the farm-gate beef and pork prices are identified as weakly exogenous in the long run. The structural tests imposing a homogeneity restriction suggest a...

Price Transmission and Price Integration in Food Retail Markets: The Case of Kinshasa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Minten,   Bart; Kyle,   Steven C.
Integration of commodity markets in developing countries has received considerable attention because price integration is perceived to be central to the success of food and agricultural policies. Price integration tests are performed in retail markets in Kinshasa (Zaire), i.e. between commodities, among retail markets, and between the wholesale and retail market level. Price transmission is measured by incorporating the co-integration concept into the classical long-run and shon-run market integration test. It is shown that although wholesale prices are input prices for retailers, they lack shon-run integration with retail prices. Differences exist between retail markets which do not reflect services or transponation costs. It is hypothesized that this is...

Price Transmission in the German Sugar Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nolte,   Stephan; Natanelov,   Valeri; Buysse,   Jeroen; van Huylenbroeck,   Guido.
The German sugar market is governed by the European Union’s common market organization (CMO). In 2006, the CMO was subject to its first major reform. Among others, the administered price for sugar was reduced by 36%. We use a data set with monthly prices for sugar and sugar containing products to perform a cointegration analysis. Results show that the reduction of the institutional price has led to a reduction of wholesale prices and of retail prices for table sugar. Prices for sugar containing products are barely integrated with the sugar price, though. Some are found to be integrated with the CPI for food and soft drinks. In none of the cases where linear cointegration could not be detected, threshold cointegration could be found.

Price Transmission, Market Power and Returns to Scale

In this paper, we aim to model the vertical relation between retailers and suppliers in the food industry whereby retailers exercise seller power in their relation with consumers and buyer power in their relation with producers. We then evaluate the degree of price transmission, relative to the perfectly competitive benchmark, from the farm to the retail sector assuming a supply shock. With the view to evaluating the impact of market power's interaction with industry technology on the degree of price transmission, we assume industry technology to be characterised by variable input proportions and non-constant returns to scale. Our model predicts that, relative to that which obtains when markets are perfectly competitive and industry technology is...

Price Transmission Mechanisms among Disaggregated Processing Stages of Food: Demand-Pull or Cost-Push?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kwon,   Dae-Heum; Koo,   Won W.
The recent concurrent surges of food and commodity prices renew the debate on the causal directions between producer and consumer prices. To address this issue, we utilize the stage of processing system incorporating retail stage beyond crude, intermediate, and finished processing stages of food and employ the method proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) and Dolado and Lütkepohl (1996) of Granger causality tests. The overall results show that consistent with theory of derived demand, the demand-pull mechanisms coexist with the cost-push processes in 1985-2001. However, the upward cost-push pressures dominate the demand-pull mechanism through various transmission channels in 2002-2008.

PRICE VARIABILITY OR RIGIDITY IN THE FOOD-RETAILING SECTOR? THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND EVIDENCE FROM GERMAN SCANNER DATA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Herrmann,   Roland; Moser,   Anke.
In many industrialized countries, the grocery-retailing sector exhibits a strong and increasing market concentration. Hence, it is important to understand retail pricing for many questions related to market power in the marketing chain and to agricultural and food policies. We analyze intertemporal pricing of grocery retailers in Germany with a large set of scanner data for processed foods. In theory, food prices could be rather variable, e.g. due to fluctuating commodity prices in a competitive world, or rather rigid, e.g. due to price adjustment costs. We elaborate that retail sales are crucial and raise food price variability at the points of sale. Despite this, prices are rather rigid and often do not change for many weeks. Moreover, pricing strategies...

PRICE VOLATILITY IN THE U.S. DAIRY SECTOR: DUE TO WEEK-OF-MONTHS EFFECTS?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Natcher,   William C.; Weaver,   Robert D.
Under recent dairy policy reforms, farm-level milk prices are determined by a multiple component pricing scheme that derives monthly dairy product class prices from weekly NASS survey prices for only the first two weeks of each month.  This pricing rule may provide incentives for strategic behavior by dairy sector participants that could induce dairy product price volatility.  This paper employs a series of nonparametric approaches to examine evidence of such price manipulation in CME weekly average dairy product prices.  Empirical evidence suggests that no such week-of-month effects exist in levels of prices, and only very weak evidence of week-of-month effects in price volatility was found.  Together, results suggest dairy product markets are...

The Bachelier model for pricing options on futures spreads (OFS) assumes changes in the underlying .futures prices and spread follow unrestricted arithmetic Brownian motion (UABM). The assumption of UABM allows for a convenient analytic solution for the price of an OFS. The same is not possible under the more traditional assumption of geometric Brownian motion (GBM). Given the additional complexity of methods for pricing and hedging OFS using GBM such as Monte Carlo simulation and binomial trees, it is worth investigating how results from the Bachelier model compare to these other methods. The Bachelier model is presented and then extended to price an OFS with three underlying commodities. Hedge parameters for both models are provided. Results indicate...

Cash grain markets have premiums and discounts for quality characteristics that are important to individual market participants. Premiums and discounts are determined by and change with the supply and demand for those quality characteristics. This seventh annual report contains the results of the 1990 survey of the pricing and marketing practices of North Dakota country elevators for durum and hard red spring (HRS) wheat. The results show that the HRS wheat protein levels fell from their 1988 and 1989 highs, and that the protein premium for HRS wheat increased over the past year. Discounts have generally become less since 1988 for both HRS and durum wheat.

Finally, a review is conducted of recent price efficiency research in cash, futures, and manufacturing-retailing markets.  Research generally has paid inadequate attention to agents’ costs, including the cost of risk and the human capital cost of acquiring and evaluating information.

PRICING EFFICIENCY IN THE RETAIL MEAT MARKET
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Naughtin,   John C.; Quilkey,   John J.
The degree of pricing efficiency achieved in the retail meat market is reconsidered in this paper. The approach adopted is to develop an economic model of the pricing behaviour of retail butchers, to postulate a behavioural model consistent with the economic model, and to test this model using the data supplied by three retail butchers. The results indicate that the deleterious effects of price levelling and averaging practices on pricing efficiency may have been understated in earlier studies. It is concluded that further research is required to re-assess the extent of the problem of pricing efficiency in the retail meat market.

Pricing Principles from Psychology for Agricultural Organizations with Market Power
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Larson,   Ronald B.
A recent review of food retailer pricing found evidence that much of the behavior was inconsistent with traditional economic models (Li, Sexton &amp; Xia, ARER 2006).  These inconsistencies may stem from the theoretical foundation that firms use to guide their pricing.  When firms can influence price, they often use pricing principles from psychology, based on buyer behavior instead of utility maximization.  These principles have been incorporated into the marketing approach to pricing.   A comparison of the economics and marketing approaches toward pricing found important differences and concluded that marketing principles provide: a richer and more empirically based treatment of the pricing issue from the buyer's perspective  . . .

We employ a vertical differentiation model to examine the potential bias in pricing-to-market (PTM) results when using unit values aggregating differentiated products. Our results show that: i) false evidence of PTM ("pseudo PTM") is always found when using unit values, whether the law of one price holds or not; and ii) the extent to which results are biased due to pseudo PTM increases with the level of product differentiation. Correspondingly, our simulation results suggest that: i) it is possible to get a statistically significant estimate of the exchange rate coefficient, even when there is no real PTM; ii) the probability of a false PTM finding increases with product differentiation. Pseudo PTM is the result of a change in the mix of qualities imported...

Print Advertisement Characteristics and Apple Variety Attraction: A Mimic Model Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Patterson,   Paul M.; Richards,   Timothy J.
A structural latent variable model of apple variety demand is used to analyze the effect of variety specific newspaper advertisement characteristics on variety attraction (preferences), and in turn on variety demand. The influence of advertisement size, the use of color and the Washington apple logo were analyzed. The estimated variety attraction variable is important in explaining demand. Model specifications which exclude this variable tend to understate demand elasticities. Advertisement size has a positive impact on Granny Smith, Fuji, and Gala sales. Red Delicious sales are positively influenced by color ads, but negatively affected by ads with the Washington apple logo.

PRIVATIZING MARKETS FOR HETEROGENEOUS, EXPERIENCE GOODS:  COFFEE IN NORTHWEST CAMEROON

Autores: Wessen,   Paul D.; Oehmke,   James F.
Reform and privatization of administratively controlled marketing parastatals is always a thorny issue.  Reform of public coffee parastatals is one of the most fascinating-and trickiest-exercises in free-market development.  Coffee, a heterogenous, experience good, undergoes several processing stages with imperfect quality control, leading to agency problems.  Successful privatization must address these problems.  This paper analyzes the reform and partial privatization of the North West Cooperative Association (NWCA) parastatal in Cameroon.  A conceptual, principal-agent framework informs the analysis.

Probability Distortion and Loss Aversion in Futures Hedging
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mattos,   Fabio; Garcia,   Philip; Pennings,   Joost M.E.
We analyze how the introduction of probability distortion and loss aversion in the standard hedging problem changes the optimal hedge ratio. Based on simulated cash and futures prices for soybeans, our results indicate that the optimal hedge changes considerably when probability distortion is considered. However, the impact of loss aversion on hedging decisions appears to be small, and it diminishes as loss aversion increases. Our findings suggest that probability distortion is a major driving force in hedging decisions, while loss aversion plays just a marginal role.

Procesamiento y comercialización de la anchoíta (Engraulis anchoita) del Mar Argentino
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Bertolotti, M.I.; Manca, E.A.
The anchovy (E.anchoita)is one of the most abundant species in the Argentine Sea. Distributed in between latitudes 34°S and 48°S, it has only been caught, traditionally, along the coasts of Buenos Aires Province - particulary in the vicinity of Mar del Plata. Anchovy-like items are exported both to producing and consuming countries. During the last three years markets have been lost. In order to regain them and to develop new ones, particularly in Europe it shall be necessary to compete with products that are well-priced and of the high quality and have a substantial aggregate value. The anchovy domestic market could be enlarged- with certain limitations- be developing new products.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   William W.; Dahl,   Bruce L.; Johnson,   D. Demcey.
Development and organization of procurement strategies have escalated in importance with maturity of the food processing industry, as well as with the prospect of greater choice attributable to variety development and information technology.  Conventional alternatives for procurement range from spot purchases with specifications for easily measurable characteristics, to varying forms of strategies with pre-commitment.  In the case of grains these choices are complicated by two factors.  First, there is intrinsic uncertainty associated with end-use qualities that are not easily measurable.  Second, grain prices and therefore procurement costs vary spatially due to competing market regions.  Thus, shifting origins may involve higher cost due to having to bid...

Durante los últimos cinco años, el Gobierno de Uruguay a través del Instituto Nacional de Pesca (INAPE), y con la asistencia de FAO llevó a cabo el Programa de Desarrollo Pesquero. Sobre la base de un mejor conocimiento de 105 recursos pesqueros la Industria Pesquera Uruguaya ha crecido considerablemente, a modo de ejemplo, la captura total anual se ha incrementado de 26.000 TM (1975) a 108.000 TM (1979). A pesar de este desarrollo, Uruguay, cuenta con recursos pesqueros, como el del calamar, que aún se encuentran subexplotados. En consecuencia, el programa de investigaciones de INAPE para 1980 incluyó un estudio integral de la explotación del calamar como un primer paso hacia el desarrollo de una pesquería de dicho recurso.

A survey instrument was developed to elicit information useful in characterizing the membership of hog marketing cooperatives and to identify benefits and costs expected and perceived by members. An empirical application investigates the role of marketing cooperatives in the Illinois pork industry. Producers in general agreed there were benefits of membership in a hog marketing cooperative although perceptions of the nature and extent of these benefits varied. Important differences were identified between perceptions of producers with small operations and those held by other producers.

PRODUCER SEGMENTATION AND THE ROLE OF LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP IN MALAYSIA’S MILK SUPPLY CHAINS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Boniface,   Bonaventure.
Research on buyer-seller relationships in the agricultural sector receives little attention. A growing body of evidence suggests that strong buyer-seller relationships facilitate more efficient supply chains. The long term relationship literature tends to treat suppliers as a homogenous group when attempting to identify motivations, strategies and incentives to enhance the quality of buyer-seller relationships. This article explores the role of long-term relationships between buyers and sellers in Malaysia’s dairy industry, taking into consideration the heterogeneous nature of the producers. Interviews with 133 producers provide the data for this study. Cluster analysis suggests two well-defined groups differing in terms of demographic characteristics and...

Autores: Morales,   Luis Emilio; Fleming,   Euan M.; Wright,   Vic; Griffith,   Garry R.; Umberger,   Wendy J.
Meat Standards Australia (MSA) represents a new beef classification system, derived from consumer preferences, which allows classifying beef in interesting ways to consumers and creates the basis for product differentiation and branding. Currently, branding of beef cuts occurs on a limited scale; however, research has revealed clear segmentation across consumers and premiums for preferred products in niche markets. The objective of this study is to identify the potential for large-scale differentiation and branding in the Australian beef marketing system and how this may best be done given the structure of the supply chain.

The physical characteristics of wool are important determinants of its spinning properties, yarn quality and end use. The degree to which wools from different countries of origin may be substituted has important implications for the domestic marketing policies of Australia and New Zealand. The hypothesis examined in this paper is that the differences in wool prices can be explained by differences in the physical characteristics of the wool and that objective measures of these characteristics allow for effective arbitrage between these markets. The alternative hypothesis is that premiums or discounts exist owing to country of origin. A hedonic price analysis was conducted on wool prices in Australia and New Zealand using a balanced sample of sale lot data...

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, COST SEASONALITY, REGION MARGINALIZATION, AND A MORE DEMANDING CONSUMER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hennessy,   David A.
Agricultural production is becoming more like manufacturing in the routinization of processes, the extent to which raw materials are processed, capital intensity, and its emphasis on throughput. Some ascribe the changes to demand-side factors while others look to technological innovations. Emphasizing cost seasonality as a reference indicator for nature's role in agricultural production, this paper develops a simple model that includes both supply and demand sides. We show how cost seasonality can impede product development to meet consumer needs and find that there may be a ceiling level of cost seasonality below which a non-seasonal equilibrium production profile occurs. Price seasonality is decreasing in cost seasonality. An increase in demand for...

Product Differentiation and Market Segmentation in Applesauce: Using a Choice Experiment to Assess the Value of Organic, Local, and Nutrition Attributes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: James,   Jennifer S.; Rickard,   Bradley J.; Rossman,   William J.
Recently, there has been much interest among horticultural producers concerning the marketing of organic and locally produced food. A consumer survey was administered that asked respondents to choose an applesauce product from a list of products differentiated by price, and by labels that described fat content, nutrition content, and whether the product was grown organically and/or locally. Our analysis indicates that consumers were willing to pay more for locally grown applesauce compared to applesauce that was labeled USDA Organic, Low Fat, or No Sugar Added. Furthermore, we find evidence that increased knowledge of agriculture decreases the willingness to pay for organic and locally grown applesauce.

PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION AND STATE PROMOTION OF FARM PRODUCE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE JERSEY FRESH TOMATO
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Adelaja,   Adesoji O.; Brumfield,   Robin G.; Lininger,   Kimberly.
Product differentiation, a prerequisite for successful state promotion of state branded farm products, may be reflected by differences in the own-price, cross-price and income elasticties of demand between a state's brand and other products. This paper tests for such differentiation by estimating demand functions for tomatoes available at the retail level in New Jersey. The "Jersey Fresh" brand is shown to have higher own-price and income elasticities of demand. It is thus perceived to be of higher quality than others. Consumers are also found to be origin biased. Promotion based on the Jersey Fresh's unique attributes and on encouraging further origin bias may have a good chance of success.

This study deals with horizontal product differentiation in the Polish pig meat market. Hypothesis among firms behaviour are derived from an illustrative model and tested in an empirical analysis using data from 1991-1998. The empirical analysis suggest that product differentiation is a relevant phenomenon in the polish pig meat markets. In addition we found that costs and competitions are important factors influencing price variation. However, further influences like price discrimination and vertical product differentiation are also important determinants for product price variations.

The rise of super-centers and the entry of Wal-Mart into food retailing have dramatically altered the competitive environment in the industry. This paper explores the impact of such changes on the labor market practices of traditional food retailers. We use longitudinal data on workers and firms to construct new measures of compensation and employment, and examine how these measures evolve within and across firms in response to changes in product market structure. An additional feature of the analysis is to combine rich case study knowledge about the retail food industry with the new matched employer-employee data from the Census Bureau.

PRODUCTION AND MARKETING CHARACTERISTICS OF U.S. PORK PRODUCERS, 1997-1998
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lawrence,   John D.; Grimes,   Glenn; Hayenga,   Marvin L.
The U.S. pork production sector continues to consolidate rapidly.  In the decade between 1988-1997 hog operations marketing 50,000 or more hogs a year increased their share of U.S. production from 7 to 37 percent.  The share from operations marketing less than 1,000 hogs annually declined from 32 to 5 percent.  However, the loss of farms beyond the very smallest category has not been as severe as typically believed. The consolidation is expected to continue as larger operations continue to be earlier adopters of technology and have taken greater steps to secure market access than have smaller farms.  Fifty-seven percent of the hogs in 1997 were procured by processors outside the traditional spot market.  It is estimated that the 1998 number is...

In recent decades there has been a substantial increase in the scale of production and the use of production contracts in the hog sector. This paper explores empirically whether these two phenomena are related by examining whether the use of production contracts has allowed finish hog operations to expand in scale. The study takes advantage of recently collected information from the Census of Agriculture that permits a comparisons of individual independent and contract hog producers over time.  The study first examines whether operations that used a contract grew at a faster rate or had lower exit rates over the subsequent five-year period than did operations that produced independently, controlling for observable factors.

Production Contracts and the Spot Market Price of Hogs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Key,   Nigel D.
The increasing use of production contracts in the hog sector has reduced the number of spot market transactions, raised concerns about price manipulation and helped to spur legislation requiring price reporting by packers.  Using data from the 2002 and 2007 Censuses of Agriculture, this study looks for evidence of market manipulation by examining whether the local prevalence of contracting affects the average price received by independent producers.  The empirical approach uses a fixed-effects model to examine whether the change in the prevalence of contracting is correlated with the change in the spot market price received by individual farmers. This approach controls for unobservable time-invariant individual and county characteristics, such as product...

Production Inefficiency in Fed Cattle Marketing and the Value of Sorting Pens into Alternative Marketing Groups Using Ultrasound Technology
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koontz,   Stephen R.; Hoag,   Dana L.; Brethour,   John R.; Walker,   Jodine L.
The cattle industry batch markets animals in pens. Because of this, animals within any one pen can be both underfed and overfed. Thus, there is a production inefficiency associated with batch marketing. We simulate the value of sorting animals through weight and ultrasound measurements from original pens into smaller alternative marketing groups. Sorting exploits the production inefficiency and enables cattle feeding enterprises to avoid meat quality discounts, capture premiums, more efficiently use feed resources, and increase returns. The value of sorting is between $15 and $25 per head, with declining marginal returns as the number of sort groups increases.

Profiling Consumer Trend-setters in the Canadian Healthy-foods Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: West,   Gale E.; Larue,   Bruno.
The agri-food industry faces new challenges as consumer demand for new, healthier foods increases. Media headlines frequently mention health benefits from certain foods and food components, and consumers are more health conscious because they are aging. They realize their food choices can reduce their risk of developing chronic illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. The competitive advantages for firms who are the first to bring their food innovations to market will depend in part on the efficacy of their marketing strategies. Firms that can identify and target those consumers who are most interested in trying new foods with enhanced functional health properties will likely be the most successful. This paper identifies attitudinal and sociodemographic...

Autores: Hill,   Debbie J.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Griffith,   Garry R.
In this paper the impact of changes in wool promotion expenditure and changes in expenditure on the promotion of competing fibres are examined using an equilibrium displacement model. The emphasis is on examining impacts on producer profits net of promotion expenditure and on benefit-cost ratios measuring changes in producer surplus relative to changes in promotion expenditure. It was found, for example, that incremental expenditure on apparel wool promotion on the domestic market is unprofitable but incremental expenditure on promotion of apparel wool on the export market is generally profitable. Further, it was found that increased promotion of cotton and man-made fibres on the export market, with promotion of apparel wool unchanged, would reduce profits...

PROFITABILITY OF INCREMENTAL GENERIC PROMOTION EXPENDITURE BY AUSTRALIAN DAIRY FARMERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hill,   Debbie J.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Griffith,   Garry R.
The motivation for this study rests on two factors.  First, Australian dairy farmers spend around $20 million annually on generic promotion and estimates of the returns from this expenditure are required to facilitate efficient investment decisions.  Second, while the Australian dairy industry is currently highly regulated despite a substantial reduction in assistance over the past decade, manufacturing milk subsidies are to be eliminated by 2000 and market milk regulations are being reviewed.  The profit potential of promotion may vary with the degree of regulation, so past estimates of the returns from promotion may not hold in the competitive environment of the future.  Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of government intervention on...

Prognosen über die Entwicklung des Agrartechnikmarktes haben sich in der Vergangenheit als äußerst schwierig erwiesen. So prognostizierte die Agrartechnikindustrie zu Beginn der Neunzigerjahre auf dem westeuropäischen Traktorenmarkt bis zum Jahr 2000 einen Rückgang des Absatzes von 200.000 auf 100.000 Einheiten. Es kam jedoch ganz anders. Tatsächlich wurden im Jahre 2000 180.000 Traktoren verkauft, wobei der Marktverlauf in den einzelnen Ländern aber sehr unterschiedlich war. Die Entwicklung des Agrartechnikmarktes wird durch eine Vielzahl von Faktoren beeinflusst. Sowohl auf der Seite der Hersteller als auch auf der Seite der Landwirtschaft zeigten sich in der jüngsten Vergangenheit gravierende Veränderungen. Wie sich diese Veränderungen und...

Autores: Bunte,   Frank H.J.; Lugt,   J. van der; Kuiper,   W. Erno.
In twelve EU countries, the lower VAT-tariff is applied to flowers and plants in order to promote the production and employment in floriculture. This paper assesses whether the VAT-regulation for flowers and plants achieves the goals set – promoting consumer demand and production and employment in the ornamental supply chain - (effectiveness) and at what cost (efficiency). The empirical results show that the VAT-regulation for floriculture is effective, but not very efficient.

PROMOTING ORGANIC FOOD: INFORMATION POLICY VERSUS PRODUCTION SUBSIDY

Autores: Tribl,   Christoph; Salhofer,   Klaus.
Governments in developed countries aim to increase the market share of organic products as a possibility to improve the environment or animal welfare or as a reaction to food crises and changing consumer preferences. Assuming that organic farming creates a positive externality, we address the question of how this environmental benefit can be internalized best. We use the concepts of heterogeneous producers with different unit production costs and heterogeneous consumers with different preferences for conventional and organic food, and compare two policy options to enhance organic supply and demand with respect to their efficiency and distributional effect: Firstly, we analyze the effect of a supply-side oriented policy like a subsidy on organic production...

Autores: Cochrane,   Nancy J.
This paper examines the role of international technical assistance in building the institutions critical to the success of market reform in the Transition Economies. While there have been many successful grass roots projects aimed at helping individual firms or associations compete in the market, projects aimed at institution building (credit markets, market information, agricultural extension, food safety and animal health regulations, etc.) are not always so successful. These projects succeed only when the recipient Government truly buys into the project and is willing to commit its own resources. These services tend to be public goods, so attempts on the part of donors to bypass Government institutions and privatize these activities are usually not...

Promoting the Kenyan Potato Value Chain: Can Contract Farming Help Build Trust and Reduce Transaction Risks?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hoeffler,   Heike.
African economies are increasingly confronted with changing food and commodity markets, due to globalisation, economic liberalisation and urbanisation. Subsequently, consumer preferences change. This poses new opportunities but also challenges to small-scale producers, traders and processors along agricultural value chains. The value chain is increasingly seen as an important development framework, with contract farming being viewed as an instrument for improving value chain performance by reducing transaction costs and risks and by building trust in vertical cooperation.  This paper uses the case study of the potato value chain in Kenya to examine these assumptions. It is shown that contract farming can be used to reduce transaction costs and risks, and...

Promotion and Fast Food Demand: Where's the Beef?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Padilla,   Luis.
Many believe that fast food promotion is a significant cause of the obesity epidemic in North America. Industry members argue that promotion only reallocates brand shares and does not increase overall demand. This study weighs into the debate by specifying and estimating a discrete/continuous model of fast food restaurant choice and food expenditure that explicitly accounts for both spatial and temporal determinants of demand. Estimates are obtained using a unique panel of Canadian fast food consumers. The results show that promotion primarily increases demand and has very little effect on restaurant market shares.

PROMOTION OF PRIMARY PRODUCTS - A VIEW FROM THE CLOISTER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Quilkey,   John J.
This paper is a discourse on how promotion may contribute to the efficiency of consumption. The view is taken that, through its addition to the quantity of search with respect to product characteristics, promotion may enable consumers to allocate their expenditures more efficiently and yield additional revenue to producers of the promoted product. The central plea is for consistency in the identification of promotion objectives, the implementation of the promotion program and monitoring of the outcome. In an idiosyncratic way, the promotion objectives are framed as being related to price and income elasticities and it is argued that promotional outcomes should be monitored in terms of these elasticities. Supply shifts may complement promotion strategies to...

PROPERTY RIGHTS IN A FLEA MARKET ECONOMY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fafchamps,   Marcel; Minten,   Bart.
This paper studies liberalized grain markets in Madagascar and examines how property rights are protected and contracts are enforced among agricultural traders. We find that the incidence of theft and breach of contract is low and that the losses resulting from such instances are small. This, however, does not result from reliance on legal institutions -- actual recourse to police and courts is fairly rare, except in cases of theft -- but from traders’ reluctance to expose themselves to opportunism. As a result, Malagasy grain trade resembles a flea market, with little or no forward contracting and high transactions costs. The dominant contract enforcement mechanism is trust-based relationships. Trust is established primarily through repeated interaction...

Prospective Trends in Wine Export Markets – Expert Views from Spain

As in other European producing countries, the wine industry in Spain faces growing competition from New World producers. International competitiveness of Spanish and European wines has been affected by increasing supply, declining public support, saturated domestic demand and increasingly quality-driven markets. Resolving the derived wine competitiveness crisis would require production rationalisation and adaptation to changing commercial and demand requirements, through new productive processes and strategies for further opening of foreign markets. The purpose of this paper is to explore main current and future trends affecting the global wine market and their consequences from the Spanish perspective. After identifying the world wine market’s main...

In recent decades, significant international assistance has been provided to assist the establishment of market information systems (MISs) in a range of developing countries, including many in Africa. However, experience with state-run MISs, looking to provide current price information to market participants, has not been encouraging. Volatile horticultural markets provide particular challenges for such MISs. Therefore, it is suggested that it might be more appropriate to provide other types of marketing information to inform the production and marketing decisions of smallholder producers. This paper reports on recent efforts by the national extension agency, Agritex, to provide such information to smallholder horticultural producers in two districts of...

Psychological Prices and Price Rigidity in Grocery Retailing: Analysis of German Scanner Data
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Herrmann,   Roland; Moeser,   Anke.
A substantial degree of price rigidity has been reported for branded foods in various studies with scanner data. One possible explanation for price rigidity is the existence of psychological pricing points. We analyze to which extent psychological pricing plays a role in grocery retailing and whether it contributes to price rigidity of branded foods in Germany. Psychological pricing – defined here as just-below-the-round-figure-pricing – is empirically analyzed with scanner data of weekly prices for 20 food brands in 38 retail outlets from September 1996 to June 1999. Psychological pricing turned out to be extremely important in German food retailing. Branded food prices are remarkably sticky and psychological pricing points contribute strongly to price...

Public and Private Institutional Responses to Advocacy Attacks:  The Case of the Global Cocoa Industry and Child Labour Abuse

Autores: Clark,   Alexandra; Gow,   Hamish R.
Over the past decade the global agri-food industry has come under increasing attack by advocacy groups related to their production and marketing processes (Bowmar and Gow, 2009).  Advocacy groups have used these attacks to exploit the growing intergenerational disconnect between consumers and farming to campaign for narrowly defined political ideals while challenging traditional agricultural practices (Olin, 1999). This disconnect has provided advocacy groups the opportunity to use boycotts and other media attacks to severely adverse impact not only branded manufacturers and retailers, but their farmer suppliers. The agri-food industry’s challenge is to understand how to develop appropriate individual and collective responses to these attacks that minimize...

Legislative authorization for the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 was renewed in October of 2006. One of the cited justifications for implementing mandatory reporting was that the voluntary reporting system for the slaughter cattle cash market was unable to provide accurate and timely market information. We extend the spatial market analysis literature by developing a methodology for detecting distortions in spatial relationships across related price series. Using spatially linked regional markets, we compare state-level mandatory price-reporting data to the U.S. Department of Agriculture voluntarily reported state data to determine if the spatial relationship between price-reporting mechanisms was disrupted by market distortions prior to...

Public Reporting of Fed Cattle Grid Prices: Policy Reform Consequences
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Diersen,   Matthew A.
Mandatory livestock price reporting was implemented in April 2001. Empirical evidence indicates a significant change in volatility occurred in publicly reported fed cattle grid premiums and discounts after its policy reform was implementationed. Empirical analysis of grid premiums and discounts across the pre- and post -reform periods indicates that increased transparency is compatible with either an increase or a decrease in price volatility in the post- MPR period. Furthermore, it appears that the public price reporting system for weekly grid premiums and discounts failed to provide an adequate level of transparency prior to the implementation of price reporting policy reforms. Our methodology extends the literature on the use of volatility measures for...

Autores: Smith,   Nathan B.; Wolfe,   Kent.
The elimination of the quota program in 2002 reduced the barrier to entry into the peanut shelling industry.  Peanut producers have expressed interest in integrating up to peanut shelling and marketing their own peanuts to peanut manufacturers.  The peanut shelling and manufacturing sectors are concentrated, with little information available related to shelling costs and manufacturer purchasing characteristics for peanuts.  A peanut buyer survey was conducted to gauge the willingness of buyers to purchase peanuts from a new player in the market and to identify what characteristics are important to buyers.  The results indicate buyers are satisfied with current suppliers.  However, buyers use more than one supplier and are open to new suppliers in the market.

Autores: Whitten,   Stuart M.; Coggan,   Anthea; Reeson,   Andrew; Gorddard,   Russell J.
The use of market-based instruments (MBIs) to provide and protect ecosystem services has gained significant attention in Australia. Despite their popularity, MBIs are not appropriate for the provision of all ecosystem services. Rather, MBIs must be carefully designed given the ecosystem service outcomes desired, while meeting the needs of participants. In this paper we detail the importance of a robust theoretical structure to underpin the selection and design of an MBI. In particular, we demonstrate the role of identifying and analysing the nature of the market failures present, and their implications for instrument design. Our conclusions are illustrated using several regional MBI case studies.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION AND HEDGING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hildreth,   Clifford.
The analysis is concerned with a producer who has three alternative marketing outlets for a seasonal perishable product. He can sell in a spot market when production is completed, he can contract for future delivery at a fixed price, he can plan to deliver on the spot market while holding a futures market hedge during the production period, or he can elect some combination of these outlets. Circumstances which lead to different combinations of outlets being used are indicated. A result of some generality is that if the certain forward price is high enough for this outlet to be used, then total output is the same as if this were the only alternative. The price at which this outlet is used is noted. Earlier treatments had noted the result in narrower contexts.

Quality Ambiguity and the Market Mechanism for Credence Goods
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Benner,   Dietrich.
With credence goods consumers cannot judge actual quality neither before purchase (ex ante) nor after purchase (ex post). Trust has to replace own examination and verification. Applying Choquet-Expected Utility theory, ageneral model of credence goods is developed wich takes the problem of trust explicitly in its view and generalizes the problem of quality uncertainty on the 'market for lemmons' of Akerlof (1970) to 'quality ambiguity' with credence goods. The model shows the market mechanism only performing well in providing credence goods when consumers' trust in given information is not too low. With trust too low, sellers of credence good will be driven out of the market by trust induced adverse selection. In market equilibrium prices will always be...

Quality and quality assurance are among the most critical issues facing the fresh produce industry. This paper shows that while quality is widely noted to be an important concept, it is not clearly defined in the literature. Several definitions of quality are presented. The terminology associated with quality assurance is analyzed. An array of quality assurance systems used in the European fresh product sector are presented. Conclusions are drawn that while fresh produce quality will always be a factor retailers use to compete for consumers, there is evidence of industry consensus on some quality attributes, particularly, safety, environmental, and social attributes.

Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is a public label that is used by the European Union as a tool to sustain the competitiveness and the profitability of agricultural sector and in particular to maintain rural activity in less favored areas. However, in PDO supply chain, many farmers deal with relatively few processing firms. In this framework, it is not clear that producers under such protective policy would have incentive to adopt costly measures to improve their product qualities and accept the restrictions on their production practices. Taking into account the vertical structure of the PDO supply chain, we develop a model of oligopoly and oligopsony competition to investigate the conditions under which PDO producers set high quality requirements on...

Quality Control in Non-Staple Food Markets: Evidence From India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fafchamps,   Marcel; Hill,   Ruth Vargas; Minten,   Bart.
Using original data collected about growers, traders, processors, markets, and village communities, we compare the situation in four states – Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Orissa. We examine the way that information about crop attributes is conveyed (or not) along the value chain. We also document the infrastructure available at the level of the market. We find that little information circulates about unobservable crop characteristics. Growers receive a price premium when they dry, grade, and pack their produce, but we find no evidence that information about crop health and safety or agricultural practices circulates through the value chain or that growers are encouraged to follow specific agricultural practices for quality purposes. Market...

Quality Differences and Risk Shifting Associated with Alternative Marketing Arrangements in the Swine Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vukina,   Tomislav.
We analyze quality differences in market hogs across alternative procurement methods. The test results show that alternative marketing (procurement) channels generate hogs of statistically different quality. However, the quality ordering of alternative marketing arrangements is not unique, but varies across quality attributes, and the quality differences do not appear to be economically significant. We examine the relationship between alternative procurement methods for live hogs and the quality of the resulting pork products. The correlation coefficient between the non-spot market purchases of live hogs and the Hicks’ composite quality index for pork products is positive and significant, but the magnitude of that effect is small. Finally, we show that...

Quality Premiums and the Post-Harvest Spot Market Thinness: The Case of U.S. Peanuts
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nadolnyak,   Denis A.; Fletcher,   Stanley M.
In the paper, we analyze two issues that are important in the U.S. peanut markets: the absence of explicit quality premiums in the crop contracts, and the thinness of the postharvest cash/spot markets, which obstructs the operation of current production support policies. We argue that introduction of quality differentials in the form of either fixed premium or rank-order tournament contracts may kill two birds with one stone by increasing the spot market turnover and providing incentives for increasing crop quality. In addition, this arrangement is likely to reduce the costs of the federal support programs.

An hedonic price function is applied to Australia's wheat exports to the growing Asian markets. The values for the quality characteristics in the wheat markets of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand are estimated. The data base for the study is from the Australian Wheat Board shipments over the period 1984 to 1991. The sample is divided into two separate time periods to test the consistency in demand for export wheat and to trace recent trends in quality premiums. The implications of the results for wheat marketing and trade are explored.

Quality related communication approaches for organic food
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bodini,   Antonella; Richter,   T.; Felder,   R.
As food quality becomes more complex, consumer s are tending to reduce their involvement in the food purchase decision- making process. Consequently, prices are becoming more significant as they represent an easy choice criterion when consumer s have less information about the differences between the product and process quality inherent in food items (including environmental or social issues). The organic food sector provides high, complex food quality profiles and has therefore been seriously affected by this development. Consequently some SMEs in the food business sector are starting to emphasize certain quality factors, such as sustainable production and processing, as a means of communicating their added value to consumer s. Based on published...

Radio Frequency Identification Tagging as a Mechanism of Creating a Viable Producer's Brand in the Cattle Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mennecke,   Brian; Townsend,   Anthony M.
This manuscript reports on a project to examine the feasibility of extensive radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging to determine product provenance in the meat production industry. The investigators examined existing technologies and meat production processes as well as emerging technologies in RFID tagging to assess the potential of RFID technologies for provenance assurance. While RFID technologies hold tremendous promise for traceability, the current state of the technology and production process creates challenges for effectively creating full traceability. However, RFID holds tremendous potential for improving processing throughput, which will help make RFID-based traceability more attractive for adoption by meat processors.

R&amp;D Projects Fostering Small Firms’ Market-Sensing and Customer-Linking Capabilities: A Multivariate Statistics Approach

RANDOM WALKS AND FRACTAL STRUCTURES IN AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY FUTURES PRICES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Turvey,   Calum G.
This paper investigates whether the assumption of Brownian motion often used to describe commodity price movements is satisfied.  Using historical data from 17 commodity futures contracts specific tests of fractional and ordinary Brownian motion are conducted.  The analyses are conducted under the null hypothesis of ordinary Brownian motion against the alternative of persistent or ergodic fractional Brownian motion.  Tests for fractional Brownian motion are based on a variance ratio test and compared with conventional R-S analyses.  However, standard errors based on Monte Carlo simulations are quite high, meaning that the acceptance region for the null hypothesis is large.  The results indicate that for the most part, the null hypothesis of ordinary...

Range and Limit of Geographical Indication Scheme: The Case of Basmati Rice from Punjab, Pakistan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Giraud,   Georges.
Basmati is well renowned as the most aromatic rice over the world. Populated urban markets are prone to accept a premium to Basmati, whom price is the highest for rice on trade and domestic markets. Punjab province represents 90% of overall Basmati rice production in Pakistan since immemorial times. This area forms the genuine alluvial lands appropriate for Basmati cultivation. Due to its price premium, some opportunist behaviors appear such as cropping blending of polished long grain from other varieties. The need of protection is clearly documented, but the registration of a Geographical Indication, will probably increase Basmati market shortages.

Realized Volatility in the Agricultural Futures Market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wang,   Yuanfang; Roberts,   Matthew C.
Users of agricultural markets always need to establish accurate representations of future volatility. This paper investigates the properties of realized volatility in the soybean futures market. The results indicate that the distributional properties of realized volatility based on 5-minute returns largely correspond with existing literature. The findings of three volatility measures confirm that the Mixture of Distributions Hypothesis (MDH) is valid. In contrast, the standardized daily returns display some different properties compared with stock and exchange rate data. Moreover, the parametric ARFIMA and GARCH models reflect same patterns as described in nonparametric analysis.

The recent adoption of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs, namely mobile phones and radios) in rural areas of Sub- Saharan Africa has brought new evidence that an updated and reliable flow of information can have direct benefits for farmers' welfare. However, if correct market information can benefit the users, incorrect information can be costly. In this study we explore the diffusion (quantity) and the accuracy (quality) of price information among farmers in northern Ghana, with a focus on the role of ICTs.

Fifteen lettuce and bagged salad shippers were interviewed as part of a larger study on changes in produce marketing. Retail consolidation, changes in technology, and increased consumer demand for convenience, product diversity, and year-round availability have all influenced shipper-retailer relations. The interviewed firms provided more fees and services to retail buyers in 1999 than 1994. Most of the bagged salad shippers paid slotting fees, while none of the lettuce shippers were currently doing so. Bagged salad firms tended to offer services to their customers, while lettuce firms generally complied with the service requests made by retailers.

Autores: Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.; Riethmuller,   Paul C.
The food retailing sectors of the United States and Australia are large industries that are increasingly driven by consumer needs and wants. Both industries are changing to keep pace with social and economic developments. The premises are getting larger and one-stop shopping is becoming more common. The rationing of shelf spare has become an issue. Information technology is providing stores with better information on product movement and sales performance. There is a common movement away from city centres to affluent suburban centres. In Australia, the retailing industry is concentrated in fewer owners than in the US. Future research on retail concentration, trade with processors, and international competitiveness would be worthwhile.

RE-CONSIDERING THE NECESSARY CONDITION FOR FUTURES MARKET EFFICIENCY: AN APPLICATION TO DAIRY FUTURES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sanders,   Dwight R.; Manfredo,   Mark R.
The traditional necessary condition for futures market inefficiency is the existence of alternative forecasting methods that produce mean squared forecast errors smaller than the futures market. Here, a more exacting requirement for futures market efficiency is proposed-forecast encompassing. Using the procedure of Harvey and Newbold, multiple forecast encompassing is tested with the CME fluid milk futures contract. Time series models and experts at the USDA provide the competing forecasts. The results suggest that the CME fluid milk futures do not encompass the information contained in the USDA forecasts at a two-quarter forecast horizon.

The young generation is the most influenced and vulnerable segment of the market. Food with high level of fat, sugar and/or salt are popularised for this segment. At the same time nearly 7 people die of obesity or from complications of obesity in Hungary each hour – one every 9 minutes. Less than 10% of youth are of the belief of eating healthy and more then one third of youth don’t take care about healthy eating. The young generation can be especially influenced by use of well-known persons, prize games and free gifts. The idea of fat tax’s introduction could be an obvious proposal.

REFORM OF THE CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD: A “MADE IN CANADA” APPROACH TO MARKETING GRAIN
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pedde,   Richard; Mirus,   Rolf.
The debate continues: whether or not single desk selling of Western Canadian grain provides the best return to producers. It is methodologically difficult to show that better returns may have been foregone in the past, yet the experience in Illinois suggests that, absent the CWB, farmers could also achieve worse results. While this battle – a battle that is in part ideological in nature – has been taking place, the world has moved forward and new services markets have evolved. There may indeed be $20 bills on the sidewalk that can be picked up by moving with the world – without, for the time being, abandoning the single desk. In this brief discussion paper we argue that the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) can improve its performance through increased recourse...

Although the techniques that are being used have become much more sophisticated, recent methodological developments in market research have hardly gone beyond the econometric test of market integration. While more efficient methods are being proposed to analyze price interdependence, the implications at the farm level and for agricultural transformation are not part of the analysis. However, one would expect reforming governments to be more interested in issues such as i) the implications of market integration for the operation of local markets, ii) its impact on the process of domestic market reforms, iii) strategies to improve the degree of integration, and iv) the benefits of doing so.

Reframing Agribusiness: Moving from Farm to Market Centric
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Edwards,   Mark R.; Shultz,   Clifford J., II.
Agribusiness is moving from farm to market centric, where effective activities anticipate and respond to customers, markets, and the systems in which they function. This evolution requires a broader conceptualization and more accurate definition, to convey a more dynamic, systemic, and integrative discipline, which increasingly is committed to value creation and the sustainable orchestration of food, fiber, and renewable resources. We discuss the forces driving this shift to the market, offer a new and more representative definition of agribusiness, provide models to illustrate some of the most compelling trends, and articulate key elements and implications of those models.

REGIONAL AND SEASONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE COTTON BASIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Seamon,   V. Frederick; Kahl,   Kandice H.; Curtis,   Charles E., Jr.
The cotton basis is examined graphically and statistically to determine if the basis differs across U.S. production regions and within the crop year as economic theory predicts. The analysis indicates the basis differs for some, but not all, regions consistent with the theory. Results also show that the typical seasonal pattern is not apparent for regions which export most of their cotton, most likely because demand in these regions is seasonal.

REGIONAL IMPACT ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN POLICY SPENDING IN A RURAL REMOTE AREA (CAITHNESS &amp; SUTHERLAND, SCOTLAND, UK)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bergmann,   Holger; Thomson,   Kenneth J.
A modified version of a system dynamics model constructed for an EU-wide case-study project (TOP-MARD) using STELLA software was used to simulate the effects of a number of development scenarios for a remote rural area in Northern Scotland, i.e. Caithness &amp; Sutherland, which is characterised by a high regional importance of agriculture for the local economy. In this paper, the context of the modelling work in policy and socio-economic terms is first described. This is followed by the specification of the model and of the several modelling scenarios, which relate to the reconfiguration of Pillar 2 spending within the area and an reversal of recent Structural Funds spending for 2007 onwards. The modelling results are discussed, in terms of regional...

REGULATION IN QUALITY DIFFERENTIATED MARKETS: PESTICIDE CANCELLATIONS IN U.S. APPLE PRODUCTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Roosen,   Jutta.
If agricultural output results from non-separable multiproduct technologies, environmental regulation can change the set of possible output combinations.  This will be important when regulation affects the quality composition of a crop.  As a result, market and welfare changes have to be assessed in technology-related markets.  We present a model that serves to estimate the economic impacts in such instances and use it in the assessment of pesticide regulation in the U.S. apple industry.  Impacts for four pesticide cancellation scenarios are assessed.  It is shown that changes in the quality of a crop lead to significant market reallocation effects.

Autores: Chen,   Kevin Z.; Weerahewa,   Jeevika.
Using the case of Canadian dairy industry, this paper investigates the farm level effectiveness of generic advertising in two vertically related markets under government regulation and oligopolistic power.  Comparative static analysis indicates that an increase in advertising may either increase or decrease the farm level profit when the processing industry is oligopolistic.  When advertising leads to an increase in the farm level profit under the oligopolistic processing industry, the size of this effect may be more than, less than, or the same as that under perfect competition.  Specifications of the retail demand function play an important role in determining both the direction and magnitude of the effect of advertising on the farm level profit under...

O marketing de relacionamento fornece a definição de construtos envolvidos na relação entre entidades que transacionam ao longo de um canal de marketing. Construtos como poder, dependência, confiança, comprometimento, cooperação, conflito, incerteza e oportunismo contribuem para realizar análises destas relações em um contexto prático. Os principais canais de marketing de hortaliças no Brasil são caracterizados por estruturas de regulação por preço, pela informalidade nas transações e pelo oportunismo dos agentes atacadistas.

Relationship Between Partial and Total Responses to Advertising with Application to U.S. Meats
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.; Myrland,   Oystein.
Buse’s concept of total response is extended to advertising effects. Results suggest that partial advertising elasticities overstate advertising’s ability to increase market demand. One implication is that advertising bans (e.g., for alcohol and tobacco) are apt to be less effective than indicated by partial advertising elasticities estimated from econometric models. Extending the concept of total response to price effects, the total advertising “flexibility” sets the lower bound on the optimal advertising-sales ratio and subsumes the Dorfman-Steiner and Nerlove-Waugh theorems as special cases. Applying the total flexibility concept to U.S. meats, results suggest the beef, pork and poultry industries are under-investing in advertising. However, in the case...

Relationships among Prices across Alternative Marketing Arrangements for Fed Cattle and Hogs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lee,   Yoonsuk; Ward,   Clement E.; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
Reduced reliance on cash market prices for fed cattle and hogs raise questions about the role of cash prices in price discovery. We use seven years of weekly data from mandatory price reports to determine whether or not cash market prices are cointegrated with other procurement prices and then test for causality among the price series.  Cash prices were cointegrated with all but one procurement price series.  Cash market prices Granger cause all other procurement prices.  Bidirectional causality was found in some but not all cases.  Thus, cash market prices remain of central importance in price discovery for fed cattle and hogs.

This paper documents the role that personal relationships play in economic exchange. Original survey data show that agricultural traders in Madagascar perceive relationships as the most important factor for success in their business. Evidence details the extent to which relationships are used to serve a variety of purposes such as: the circulation of information about prices and market conditions; the provision of trade credit; the prevention and handling of contractual difficulties; the regularity of trade flows; and the mitigation of risk. Of these, the regularity of supply and demand and the sharing of risk appear particularly important. Larger and more prosperous traders are those with quantitatively and qualitatively better relationships. Family plays...

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MARKET PRICE SIGNALS AND PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT: THE CASE OF FED BEEF
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Outlaw,   Joe L.; Anderson,   David P.; Padberg,   Daniel I.
The beef industry in the United States consists of several distinct production levels ranging from the cow-calf producer at the lowest level to the final consumer.  These sectors face varying levels of profitability, degrees of market power, conflicting goals, and price signals.  Environmental regulations involve questions of what costs are involved, who is in a position to pay these costs, and whether market prices are capable of signaling different environmental practices. Understanding the relationships within the beef industry may allow researchers to fine-tune analyses of environmental issues in the beef industry.

Relative Forecasting and Hedging Efficiency of Agricultural Futures Markets in the European Union: Evidence for Slaughter Hog Contracts
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Loy,   Jens-Peter.
The paper aims at analyzing the potentials for reducing income risk and income variation for slaughter hog producers in Germany and Holland by participating at futures markets in Amsterdam or Hannover. The relative market and hedging efficiency for the Amsterdam stock exchange markets is tested and the optimal hedge ratio is derived for minimizing risk and variance of slaughter hog gross margins (income). Relative market efficiency and a significant impact of hedging on income risk and variance can not be rejected. The results show that the optimal hedge ratio is smaller for variance compared to risk minimizing hedging strategy.

Autores: Mattos,   Fabio; Garcia,   Philip; Nelson,   Carl H.
The purpose of this study is to analyze how the introduction of a downside risk measure and less restrictive assumptions can change the optimal hedge ratio in the standard hedging problem. Based on a dataset of futures and cash prices for soybeans in the U.S., the empirical findings indicate that optimal hedge ratios change dramatically when a one-sided risk measure is adopted and standard assumptions are relaxed. Further, the results suggest that in a downside risk framework with realistic hedging assumptions there is little or no incentive for farmers to hedge.

A dynamic multiple-indicator multiple-cause (MIMIC) framework was used to estimate the latent variable reputation with price premiums for Washington apples and attributes that covered the period July 1996 to November 1999.   A maximum likelihood two-stage approach was employed.  For comparison purposes, a hedonic regression was also estimated.  Results from the first stage of the estimation procedure in the MIMIC reputation model suggest that price premiums are good indicators of reputation.  The indicator coefficients, also called factor loadings, imply that the estimated reputation variable is common to the five indicators chosen and that the measurement of reputation is not likely to be obscured by a wide diversity in the indicators.  The common factor...

A repeated-purchases model is developed to explore the fundamental economic factors that lie behind the choice of different quality assurance systems and their associated degrees of stringency by firms. Differences in the quality discoverability of a sought-after attribute, market structure, attractiveness of a market, nature of reputations, and the value placed in the future are among the factors contributing to the implementation of widely diverse systems across participants in different markets. Close attention is paid to the role of reputations in providing the incentives for firms to deliver high-quality goods. We model three different scenarios— - monopoly, duopoly with firm-specific reputations, and duopoly with industry-wide reputations— - and...

Response to an Asymmetric Demand for Attributes: An Application to the Market for Genetically Modified Crops
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lence,   Sergio H.; Hayes,   Dermot J.
A framework is developed for examining the price and welfare effects of the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops. In the short run, non-GM grain generally becomes another niche product. However, more profound market effects are observed under some reasonable parameterizations. In the long run, consumer and producer welfare are usually greater after the introduction of GM technology. Nevertheless, in all instances some consumers and some producers lose. When identity preservation is expensive and cost savings are relatively small, both producer and consumer welfare are lower after introducing GM technology. Interestingly, this outcome is obtained even though all agents are individually rational.

RETAIL CONTRACTING AND GROWER PRICES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Patterson,   Paul M.; Richards,   Timothy J.
Contracting directly between produce shippers and retailers is growing in importance.  Retailers seek to obtain reliable supplies, while reducing their reliance on recurring market transactions.  Producers seek stable prices and market access.  These private transactions diminish spot market liquidity and enhance noncompetitive buying opportunities, raising concerns over the resulting impact on grower prices, whether under contract or not, and the future produce market structure.  Primary data are used to test hypotheses on contract participation.  Simulations on grower prices reveal that contract prices are generally lower, but less variable, than market prices, suggesting a form of risk sharing.

RETAIL FOOD STORE INVENTORY BEHAVIOR

Autores: Miller,   Stephen E.
A stock-adjustment model is applied to monthly retail food store inventory data from 1968 through 1988. Estimates of the speed-of-adjustment coefficient (.34 to .75) are higher than estimates from previous research, indicating that periods of inventory disequilibrium in food retailing are short-lived. The results indicate that inventories are insensitive to financial carrying costs. The hypothesis that parameters of the model are constant over the sample period cannot be rejected, indicating that changes in food retailing (e.g., electronic scanning and diversification of product mixes) have not affected inventory behavior.

Retail pricing strategies incorporate promotions, sales, and rigidities. A number of models have been proposed in particular to explain the occurrence of sales. Focussing on the market for fresh foods the model by Varian and the loss leader argument seem to be intuitively best fitting to the conditions in the fresh food market. From these models we derive several hypotheses that are tested for a unique data set of the German fresh food retail market. The data set consists of weekly prices for ten food items in 131 grocery shops over the period from 1995 to 2000. Following Varian sales should lead to reduced expenditures, while the loss leader argument assumes that consumers are lured into the shop by promotional sales which are covered by higher prices for...

Retailer-Wholesaler Response to State-Sponsored Marketing Programs: The Case of Jersey Fresh
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Govindasamy,   Ramu; Pingali,   Aruna; Italia,   John; Thatch,   Daymon W.
Jersey Fresh retailers and wholesalers feel that the logos are effective in increasing sales. Most feel that the popularity of the logo among the consumers is moderate. The results of this study indicate that the promotional aspect of the program was more popular among all the participant groups than the quality control aspect. The mail surveys indicated that a greater number of participants were aware of and were using the promotional logo than the quality grading logo. Only a fifth of the wholesalers who were aware of the quality-grading program were enrolled in the program. The results also indicated that participants who thought that consumer awareness of the program was high were more likely to be enrolled. This study also illustrates that most...

RETAIL-FARM PRICE MARGINS AND CONSUMER PRODUCT DIVERSITY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Reed,   Albert J.; Elitzak,   Howard; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
This bulletin provides an alternative approach for computing retail-farm price margins. Current published estimates of retail-farm price margins are calculated assuming that food markets are comprised of identical firms producing, in fixed-factor proportions, a homogeneous set of final food products. The approach presented here relaxes these assumptions by relying on an expenditure-based measure, justified by the Generalized Composite Commodity Theorem, that reflects consumer demand for the many different elementary food products associated with a modern food market. This measure allows a direct link between consumer demand for diverse elementary products and food quality and marketing services where increases in retail-farm price margins, for example, can...

Rethinking the Externality Issue for Dryland Salinity in Western Australia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pannell,   David J.; McFarlane,   Donald J.; Ferdowsian,   Ruhi.
Dryland salinity has been conceived of as a problem involving massive off-site impacts and therefore requiring coordinated action to ensure that land managers reduce those off-site impacts. In economic terms, salinity is seen as a problem of market failure due to externalities, including external costs from one farmer to another and from the farm sector to the non-farm sector. In this paper, we argue that, at least in Western Australia (WA), externalities are much less important as a cause of market failure than has been widely believed. If all externalities from salinity in WA were to be internalised, the impact of this on farm management would be small. There are a number of factors contributing to this conclusion, both hydrological and socioeconomic....

Using data on agricultural traders in Madagascar, this paper shows that social capital has a large effect on efficiency. Better connected traders are shown to have significantly larger sales and gross margins than less connected traders after controlling for physical and human inputs. The analysis indicates that three dimensions of social network capital should be distinguished: relationships with other traders, which help firms economize on transactions costs; relationships with individuals who can help in times of financial difficulties, which insure traders against liquidity risk; and family relationships, which reduce efficiency, possibly because of measurement error. Social network capital enables traders to deal with each other in a more trustworthy...

In 1984, the Jersey Fresh program was implemented by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture and was the first state-funded marketing campaign for agricultural products produced in New Jersey. In an effort to spur demand for New Jersey farm products, this program was designed to increase consumer awareness of the state’s agricultural products as well as to encourage food retailers to promote Jersey Fresh products. With funding from the USDA’s Federal-State Marketing Improvement Program, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture commissioned this study to determine the impact of Jersey Fresh promotion on farmer cash receipts in New Jersey. The econometric analysis was focused on the fruit and vegetable sectors, the primary commodity areas expected to...

Revenue Risk Reduction Impacts of Crop Insurance in a Multi-Crop Framework
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Woodard,   Joshua D.; Sherrick,   Bruce J.; Schnitkey,   Gary D.
This study develops a multi-crop insurance model which is employed to evaluate crop insurance decisions when several crops are produced jointly. The results suggest that the diversification effects derived from producing multiple crops can substantially alter the risk reduction impacts of crop insurance versus if the decision is viewed from the perspective of a single crop. Further, the relatedness of crop production and price responses among crops differs considerably across insurance products and strategies. As a result, insurance strategies that might provide the maximum risk reduction for an individual crop do not necessarily carry over to the multi-crop case.

Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Tookwinas, S.
Seabass and grouper have been reared in cages in coastal waters in Thailand for 10 years. The fingerlings are nursed for a month in nylon nursing cages. Then, the juvenile fish are reared in culture cages which can be stationary or floating. The cage is usually 5 x 5 x 2 metres. The stocking density is around 500 to 2000 fish per cage. The survival rate is approximately 80%. The selling price at the culture site is 80 baht and 250 baht per kg for sea bass and grouper respectively. The culture method and economics of culture are explained.

RICE MARKETS, AGRICULTURAL GROWTH, AND POLICY OPTIONS IN VIETNAM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goletti,   Francesco; Minot,   Nicholas.
Viet Nam has undergone a profound transformation in recent years and, as a result of a series of macroeconomic and institutional reforms since 1986, it has made substantial progress toward becoming a market economy. As this transition continues, Viet Nam faces the challenge of formulating and implementing a growth strategy which is both economically and politically feasible. Critical to this growth strategy is the role of agriculture and, within agriculture, the development of an efficient rice marketing system. The emergence of Viet Nam as a major rice exporter has raised a number of important policy questions. First, will the country be able to continue its impressive growth? Second, how far has Viet Nam moved along the path toward a market economy?...

Risk Attitude &amp; the Structure of Decision Making: Evidence from the Hog Industry

Autores: Franken,   Jason R.V.; Pennings,   Joost M.E.; Garcia,   Philip.
We investigate the importance of an appropriate representation of behavior, risk attitude, and related characteristics for owner-managers making marketing decisions. We assess whether managerial/firm characteristics directly affect the decisions or if their influence occurs indirectly through impacts on risk aversion. The findings, which support an indirect effect, indicate that failure to represent the relationship between risk aversion, other characteristics, and behavior appropriately can mask the effect of risk aversion. A more complete understanding of the structure of decision making may assist economists and policymakers in designing and targeting mechanisms to transfer risk.

Risk aversion and sustainable maize production in Nigeria: Some challenges and prospects for agricultural and economic development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Olarinde,   Luke O.; Manyong,   Victor M.
This paper determines the degree or extent of farmer’s risk aversion that affects sustainable maize production in Northern Nigeria. Using a ridge regression analysis, a measure of risk aversion was derived for each individual farmer in a model of safety-first behaviour from a cross-sectional survey of 350 maize producers in northern Nigeria. The distribution of the degree of risk aversion shows a high skewness towards the risk averters (high risk farmers) and centered around 1.20, and standard deviation of 0.37. This distribution is then explained by a set of specific variables that characterize the farmers’ behaviour in the study area using a Tobit model. Susceptibility to risk was found to be highly premised on the socioeconomic factors (e.g. age of...

RISK AVERSION, UNCERTAINTY AVERSION, AND VARIATION AVERSION IN APPLIED COMMODITY PRICE ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Frechette,   Darren L.; Wen,   Fang-I.
Standard models of hedging behavior assume that either hedgers wish to minimize net price variation or they wish to balance variation versus profits. These models treat variation as risk and fail to distinguish between variation that is random and variation that is not random over time. Newer models of decision making differentiate between random and nonrandom variation somewhat, but they inadequately distinguish variation from risk. This paper reviews the distinctions among variation, uncertainty, and risk and calculates optimal hedge ratios for two models addressing the distinction. Empirical optimal hedge ratios typically decline toward zero when variation aversion is included in the models. These results may help explain why hedgers commonly hedge less...

RISK MANAGEMENT POTENTIAL OF PRECISION FARMING TECHNOLOGIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lowenberg-DeBoer,   James.
Initial ideas on risk management uses of precision agricultural technology focused on site-specific treatment of problem areas to reduce the probability of low yields and returns. Recent discussions deal with sensor and remote-sensing information to improve marketing and "as applied maps" as trace-back mechanisms to manage liability. A theoretical model is presented that suggests that there are plausible circumstances under which precision farming can reduce temporal yield variability. Empirical evidence from an on-farm trial of site-specific P&amp;K management in the Eastern Cornbelt supports the hypothesis that precision farming can have risk-reducing benefits.

We specify a principal-agent marketing channel involving producers, wholesalers, retailers and a futures market. Our hedge ratio for producers appears to be much lower than the common price-risk minimising ones as we account for producers’ vertical contracts and, by using annual data, their production horizon. The Dutch ware potato marketing channel and its futures market in Amsterdam show that possibly through decreases in producers’ and wholesalers’ risk aversions, their optimal dynamic hedge ratios decreased from 38% and 12%, respectively, in 1982 to 18% and 10%, respectively, in 2003. These results comply with the decreased futures volume traded in Amsterdam over the years.

Risk Premiums and the Storage of Agricultural Commodities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lin,   Hua; Fortenbery,   T. Randall.
The existence of a commodity market risk premium has attracted the interest of researchers for several decades. Most attempts to measure risk premiums have been focused on futures markets. However, if the risk premium is a payment made by hedgers (as suggested by Keynes) to reduce their risk profile, then the risk being reduced originates in the cash market. This suggests that the risk premium may also originate in the cash market. As such, the search for a risk premium should focus on the cash market, and, given Working's Supply of Storage Curve, should be measured as a function of stored inventory. This paper develops an expected utility based model that separates the risk premium from other storage incentives, and illustrates the role of the cash market...

This paper explores in-depth sensory experiences, expectations and perceptions of organic producers regarding the role played by sensory properties in organic market, using a qualitative marketing research technique. Ten in-depth interviews supported by semi-structured questionnaire were performed in Italy during 2009. Findings shows that organic producers stated that sensory tests are mainly carried out empirically, they are not systematic and often performed by non trained assessors, even if they are completely aware of the importance of sensory information. Interviewees think that sensory attributes may play a primary or at least complementary role in consumer choice in order to adding-value and drivers for purchase motivations, but at the same time...

ROLLOVER HEDGING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yoon,   Byung-Sam; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
Both market advisors and researchers have often suggested rollover hedging as a way of increasing producer returns. This study tests whether rollover hedging can increase expected returns for producers. For rollover hedging to increase expected returns, futures prices must follow a mean-reverting process. Using both the return predictability test based on long-horizon regression and the variance ratio test, we find that mean reversion does not exist in futures prices for corn, wheat, soybeans, soybean oil and soybean meal. The findings are consistent with the weak form of market efficiency. The results of the study imply that rollover hedging should not be seriously considered as a marketing alternative. As long as the commodity markets are efficient, the...

We develop a conceptual framework for quantifying fixed transactions costs facing semisubsistence households.   Using household survey data from a sample of 324 Kenyan maize farmers, we generate estimates of household supply and demand schedules, as well as the price bands that they face.  Our econometric results indicate that on average the ad valorem tax equivalent of the fixed transactions costs facing the households in our sample is 28%.  Additional analysis indicates that both remoteness and infrastructure quality have significant impacts on the size of the transactions costs facing farm households.  To the best of our knowledge, ours are the first empirical estimates of the magnitude of transactions costs.

Rural institutions and producer organizations in imperfect markets: experiences from producer marketing groups in semi-arid eastern Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shiferaw,   Bekele A.; Obare,   Gideon A.; Muricho,   Geoffrey.
Many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have liberalized markets to improve efficiency and enhance market linkages for smallholder farmers. The expected positive response by the private sector in areas with limited market infrastructure has however been disappointing. The functioning of markets is constrained by high transaction costs and coordination problems along the production-to-consumption value chain. New kinds of institutional arrangements are needed to reduce these costs and fill the vacuum left when governments withdrew from markets in the era of structural adjustments. One of these institutional innovations has been the strengthening of producer organizations and formation of collective marketing groups as instruments to remedy pervasive market...

For several reasons, the harvest stage is most important in aquaculture. Not properly managed, it may diminish efforts invested throughout the whole culture cycle. This operation consists in harvesting and in killing the fish for marketing purposes and must be achieved with care to optimizing the final quality of the product in terms of flavor, sanitary aspects and preparing it well for processing. Analysing the numerous complaints expressed by endusers concerning the quality of cultured salmon demonstates that the harvest stage is the main cause of these failures. Among the failures reported, we can quote the problems of "gaping" (disconnection of the myotomes in the fillets), of brown spots (spotlights of blood), of soft texture, discoloration and early...

Drought is endemic to southern Africa. In Zimbabwe farmers have been experiencing drought once every two to three years. Relief agencies have traditionally responded to drought by providing farmers with enough seed and fertilizer to enable them to re-establish their cropping enterprises. But, in the absence of these interventions there are limited sustainable options for farmers to maintain higher productivity levels.  ICRISAT has been working with government, NGOs and the donor community to test more sustainable farming strategies that will increase food production levels even under drought conditions. For years, ICRISAT sought to develop more drought-tolerant varieties of sorghum, pearl millet and groundnut. But these offered only limited gains in...

SC-X: CALIBRATING STATED CHOICE SURVEYS WITH EXPERIMENTAL AUCTION MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alfnes,   Frode; Rickertsen,   Kyrre.
Experimental auctions (X) use real economic incentives but are limited by available products and locally recruited samples.   Stated choice (SC) surveys can use a representative sample to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for hypothetical products with unavailable characteristics.  However, a number of studies conclude that surveys give biased WTP estimates.  We designed a method, SC-X, to calibrate the WTP estimates from stated choice surveys with WTP observed in experimental auctions.  This method allows us to extend the results from auctions to products with unavailable characteristics and to socioeconomic groups not included in the auction.  The SC-X method is illustrated using Norwegian consumers' preferences for country-of-origin and hormone...
