| Increased consolidation in the retail food industry, retail discount stores' expansion into food, and the use of information technology have created a new breed of retail grocery establishments that are rapidly capturing a growing share of the retail food business. In order to study the relationships between produce suppliers and buyers and to offer strategies for small and medium-sized produce supply firms, executives representing a Pacific Northwest sample of produce supply firms and major retail chains were interviewed. The results presented and evaluated in this paper are based on information obtained from these interviews, current business practices, and evolving relationships between large retail buyers and small and medium-sized suppliers of fresh... |

| This paper develops the theoretical framework and methodology for predicting the potential for agricultural imports in a group of reasonably homogeneous countries. The cross-section model proposed is economical in data needs and gives a good fit when applied to a group of 17 Middle Eastern countries. A method is presented for treating heteroscedasticity problems in some equations. The model should be particularly useful to exporters contemplating large investments in market expansion in specific countries and needing information on long-term sales potential. A practical application suggests important guidelines for efforts to expand sales of U.S. agricultural products in the Middle East. |

| A nationwide survey of exporters of high-value products was conducted in the summer of 1998. The purpose of the survey was to ascertain the extent of activity by U.S. exporters in offshore markets and to identify which firms were most likely to benefit from targeted government assistance programs to firms with different levels of export intensity. Government and private agencies can use this information to plan and monitor government export assistance on a more targeted basis to advance the national goal of expanding value-added agricultural exports. Results revealed that the majority of the firms had export intensities (percent of total sales derived from exports) below 40 percent with respect to their total sales. Firms that were more likely to have... |
