| This study investigated product introductions, marketing and distribution patterns among specialty food retailers in the eastern U. S. Based on 547 responses to a mailed survey, the results portray specialty food retailers as an extremely diverse group ranging from those who carry small specialty food sections within standard grocery or department stores to those who exclusively sell specialty foods. Respondents reported that new introductions account for about 22% of their total specialty food sales and that on average, they introduce about 23 products in a typical year. When evaluating new products, their most important considerations are quality followed by uniqueness. |

| This study was based on a survey of customers who shopped at a small farmers' market during the summer/fall market season of 1995. Information from a survey completed by 239 shoppers was used to develop a profile of the primary consumer group, defined as those who shop regularly at the market and spend the most per visit. Comparisons between survey data and census data for the local population showed that primary shoppers at the market had higher education, higher annual household income, tended to be slightly older, and were more likely to be employed women. For the most part, the respondents were loyal, weekly shoppers who patronized the market because of the high quality of the products. Most reported that they were willing to pay more for produce... |

| Potatoes are marketed by type (i.e. round white, russet, red, etc.), rather than by variety. However, the round white varieties currently marketed by the Maine potato industry are known to differ considerably in terms of product characteristics. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that consumer acceptance of potatoes in home use varies by variety and to quantify how their level of acceptance and other characteristics impact their repurchase decision. A discrete choice model was used. The results indicated that consumers do differentiate round white potato varieties based on the performance of the potatoes in home use. Their willingness to repurchase the round white potatoes is affected by the variety used and the overall serving quality of... |

| In recent years regional weather patterns have had an unusually strong effect on potato production and prices across the country in all marketing seasons. The quantitative impact of changes in potato production in one marketing region on prices in others is not currently known. These linkages, however, are quite important for decision makers in the industry in planning marketing strategies. This study examines the relationships among prices and quantities of potatoes across regions and seasons. Own- and cross-price flexibilities are estimated using Pooled Time Series and Cross-Sectional methods for winter, spring, summer as well as eastern, central, and western fall potato production. Significant impacts of own-regional production on prices are found.... |

| The wild blueberry crop harvested in Maine and eastern Canada has increased considerably in recent years. The purpose of this study is to understand the recent trends in demand for wild blueberries with particular attention to the effects of production and the marketing of wild and cultivated blueberries. A price response model was developed to analyze farm-gate price and the processor price, using annual data from 1978 through 1997. Key explanatory variables in the model include quantity of wild blueberries, real per capita disposable income, the quantity of processed cultivated blueberries, and carry-over stocks of frozen blueberries. |

| The empirical evidence from the extant literature in demand analysis points to the importance of income in food expenditure relationships. However, roughly 30 percent of all households in the 1977-78 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey do not report income figures. The focus of this paper is on the missing income problem in analyses of Engel functions. This analysis statistically links particular demographic attributes in affecting the probability of reporting income information. Additionally, several techniques to overcome the missing income problem, namely, regression imputation, the Heckman procedure, and item deletion, are discussed. Empirical evidence suggests that the Heckman procedure is statistically superior to item deletion, and that... |

| Contingent valuation is used to measure the benefits of a proposed public program to control black flies. Respondents' reported values are analyzed from three perspectives: data outliners, consistency between respondents' reported values and their perceptions of black flies, and the temporal reliability of the values expressed by respondents. The results suggest that the estimated contingent values are plausible even though a majority of respondents expressed a value of zero dollars for the black fly control program. |
