Sourcing and Promotion of Local Foods by Food Cooperatives in the U.S.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Katchova,   Ani L.; Woods,   Timothy A.
This study examines the role that food consumer cooperatives play in the local food networks. Data are collected from three case studies with leading food cooperatives and a national survey of the general managers of food cooperatives. We identify the emerging business practices in local sourcing as a differentiation and member recruitment strategy for food cooperatives. Our analysis identifies several clusters of strategies used for local food procurement, based on the extent to which the co-op is involved in procurement activities upstream (at the farm), mid-stream (at the distribution center) or downstream (at the food cooperative). The results also show that when compared to other grocers, food co-ops have clear advantages in working with local...

An Analysis of the Relationship Between Supply-Chain Management Practices and New Product Development Time: A Case of the North American Confectionery Manufacturers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Spaulding,   Aslihan D.; Woods,   Timothy A.
This paper describes the relationship between supply-chain management practices and new product development over time in the North American confectionery manufacturing industry. Using data from a survey of new product development managers, results indicate that buyer involvement and supplier involvement do not have a statistically significant impact on development time. Outsourcing of activities, however, does significantly impact new product development time. Findings of this study have important implications for supply-chain management practices of the food-manufacturing industry.

Do Local Production, Organic Certification, Nutritional Claims, and Product Branding Pay in Consumer Food Choices?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Batte,   Marvin T.; Hu,   Wuyang; Woods,   Timothy A.; Stan,   Ernst.
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...

Autores: Eastwood,   David B.; Brooker,   John R.; Hall,   Charles R.; Rhea,   Alice J.; Estes,   Edmund A.; Woods,   Timothy A.
Produce growers in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee were surveyed in 2002 to gather information about their decision making in the areas of planting, postharvest handling, marketing, and expected changes.  North Carolina has proportionately more respondents with large operations, and Kentucky and Tennessee were more similar and concentrated in smaller farms.  Tennessee and Kentucky respondents were less likely to have engaged in activities that were associated with the commercial distribution system.  Greater reliance on the commercial distribution system on the part of North Carolina growers is consistent with more produce export activity.

DIVERSIFYING AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS: AN EXTERNAL ANALYSIS OF STATE VALUE-ADDED PROGRAMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Woods,   Timothy A.; Hoagland,   Heath.
An increasing number of farmers in the United States are finding more opportunity to participate in value-added activities beyond their commodity production. Issues' such as low farm income, increasing marketing margins, and a desire to enhance demand for local commodities-generate more interest in identifying suitable value-added activities. Many states are providing programs to help promote and support farmers interested in leading the development of new food products.  This paper examines the objectives and development strategies of several value-added state programs. Special attention is paid to the extent to which the programs create opportunities for farmers in different income groups. Programs profiled in this research include Iowa's Rural Economic...

Consumer Acceptance and Willingness to Pay for Blueberry Products with Nonconventional Attributes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang; Woods,   Timothy A.; Bastin,   Sandra.
Consumer acceptance and willingness to pay for three nonconventional attributes associated with six processed blueberry products was examined through an in-store conjoint experiment survey. Both credence and experience attributes were considered, including whether the products were produced locally, and whether they were organic or sugar-free. The results indicate heterogeneity in consumer preference and willingness to pay for different attributes across product categories. Local products and organic formulations generally received positive willingness to pay across all products. This information has implications for blueberry growers and retailers who are trying to create and position value-added products for maximum revenue.

A Path Dependency and Cluster Competitiveness Framework to Examine Regional Marketing Systems and Conflicts
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Woods,   Timothy A.; Cook,   Roberta L.
This paper develops a framework for competitiveness that incorporates path dependency within production regions.  Patterns of technological innovation, product development, institutions, and market orientation follow a certain local path.  This evolution creates regional economies that emerge with unexpected competitive advantage.  The model draws on previous work looking at, among other things, induced innovation.  The framework is applied here to the major regional tomato producers in North America.  The paper examines the role of various institutions (grower associations, governments, research institutions, and support industry) in influencing the path along which a regional sector evolves.

Will Higher Shipping Costs Drive the U.S. to Source More Localized Produce?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Woods,   Timothy A.; Saghaian,   Sayed H.; Ona,   Lucia Y.
The recent wide fluctuations in diesel fuel costs and subsequent trucking costs has raised speculation within the produce industry of potential structural shifts in the location of production.  Recent increases in demand for local produce seem to further support speculation toward this end.  A component pricing model is used to actually examine the impact of fuel prices on farm gate and retail produce prices for strawberries, lettuce, and potatoes.  The study finds that distribution costs, while significantly increasing in absolute value, have surprisingly little contribution to changes in retail prices even in markets distant to the primary production regions.  These results suggest that factors other than lower distribution costs for local produce will...

A Comparison of Consumer Willingness to Pay for Four Types of Sweeteners
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Deng,   Xueting; Saghaian,   Sayed H.; Woods,   Timothy A.
As the U.S. consumption of sweeteners has increased, analysis of the demand for sweeteners has become more important. In this paper, consumer willingness-to-pay (WTP) for selected four types of sweeteners is evaluated. The four types of sweeteners are Kentucky grown pure maple syrup, artificially maple flavored syrup, sorghum syrup and molasses. Results suggest that consumers who are at high household income level (above $80,000) and with a smaller household size are likely to pay more for Kentucky grown maple syrup. Results show that there is no statistic difference for the annual household consumption among the four types of sweeteners.

The Role of Specialty Food Stores and Farmers' Markets in the Procurement of Local Foods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wixson,   Sarah E.; Katchova,   Ani L.; Woods,   Timothy A.; Hu,   Wuyang.
The demand for locally produced foods has been increasing.  Concurrently, specialty food stores focusing on specific food attributes have also grown in popularity along with farmers’ markets.   This study examines how the importance that consumers place on whether specific foods are locally produced affects the likelihood to shop at specialty food stores and farmers’ markets. The major findings indicate that consumers who value locally produced fruits and vegetables are more likely to shop at these markets. Therefore, these markets are well positioned within local food networks to take advantage of the increasing demand for local foods, particularly for fresh products.

Strategic Planning Approaches and Concepts: Potentials for Improving Commodity Subsector Performance
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Woods,   Timothy A.; Sterns,   James A.; Ricks,   Donald J.; Bitsky,   Randy.
Subsector, or industry strategic planning is a potentially useful tool that can be designed to enhance the overall performance and competitiveness of a commodity industry across the industry's inter-dependent vertical segments. Industry strategic planning provides a framework for industry stakeholders to consider future strategic directions and to facilitate needed adjustments and progress on certain issues of common interest.  Industry strategic planning is particularly well suited for facilitating efforts by regional and national commodity industries to enhance their competitiveness in today's business setting, including global markets -- a major objective of industries throughout the world.

IMPROVING VERTICAL COORDINATION OF AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES THROUGH SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ricks,   Donald J.; Woods,   Timothy A.; Sterns,   James A.
Supply chain management is an important topic related to improving efficiency, vertical coordination, overall performance and competitiveness in food industries.  Considerable attention has been given to supply chain management as an approach for improving vertical coordination and market performance in both the trade literature and by food economists.  Much of this has been primarily from the perspective of grocery retailer-wholesalers, food manufacturers and their suppliers.  Supply chain management is also very relevant, with substantial opportunities for improved efficiency and performance, if the perspective is from an agricultural commodity industry.  The goal for a commodity industry in this regard is to find ways to enhance their responsiveness to...

Assessing Consumer Willingness to Pay for Value-Added Blueberry Products Using a Payment Card Survey
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
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.

Household Grocery Shopping Destination Allocation: Have Local Stores Caught on with the Rise of Local Foods?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
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...

Internet consumer surveys have become increasingly popular in agricultural and food research. This study compares the results of an identical survey instrument implemented by mail and the Internet respectively. Aspects compared include survey logistics, timeline, costs, consumer demographic and socioeconomic features, observed univariate variables, and multivariate regression coefficient estimates and predictions. Results do reveal some differences in data collected by these two approaches. However, given the similarities between the two samples, the differences observed do not offer enough support to command either approach as superior to the other. It appears both methodologies can generate high quality data and are appropriate when used carefully.

This paper discusses the context within which educational programs tailored to tobacco producers and related rural communities have developed. Discussion is expanded by examining current program approaches employed by various organizations. Many of these organizations have a manual stake in helping producers in tobacco communities develop their management capacity. A range of initiatives aimed at facilitating economic adjustment is compared, including the major issues addressed and expected outcomes. Many of the initiatives have made useful contributions; however, gaps and limitations remain. These are considered as future educational efforts and issues are discussed.

What is Local and for What Foods Does it Matter?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang; Batte,   Marvin T.; Woods,   Timothy A.; Ernst,   Stanley C.
Consumer demand for local foods has been increasing dramatically over the past several years.  Many food producers and marketers are raising their capacity to incorporate local food.  Revenue from local Farmers’ Market and Community Supported Agriculture has become a greater source of income particularly for small and medium-sized farms.  This study answers two important questions related to local food that have not been sufficiently addressed before: what is the greatest distance food can travel and still be accepted by consumers as local and is "local" equally important across food categories.  Using survey data from two states in the USA, this research found that consumers’ accepted food travel distance may be much shorter than what is generally...
