Consumers’ knowledge of bio-energetics AgEcon
Tamus, Antalne.
Our aim was to establish the specific objectives and toolkit of eco-energetic marketing targeting the North Hungarian region, through a primary survey of 600 persons. Our research objective was to examine – taking the region’s economic and social circumstances into consideration – what conditions, consumer reception, and affinity is needed to gain competitive advantage with the involvement of renewable energy sources, and also to point out the characteristics of how the population currently uses energy, its mode and satisfaction level. During the examination of consumers’ familiarity level with renewable energy sources we observed the dominance of solar, hydro, and wind energy, nevertheless, their knowledge about these renewable energy sources was rather...

INFERRING THE NUTRIENT CONTENT OF FOOD WITH PRIOR INFORMATION AgEcon
LaFrance, Jeffrey T..
Given measurements on the nutrient content of the U.S. food supply and a coherent reduced form empirical model of the demand for foods, we can analyze the effect of agricultural farm and food policy on nutrition. Using unpublished documents from the HNIS, estimates of the percentages of seventeen nutrients supplied by twenty-one foods were compiled for the period 1952-1983. The Bayesian Method of Moments is applied to this data set to obtain a proper prior for the purpose of drawing year-to-year inferences about the nutrient content of the U.S. food supply for the period 1909-1994. Information theory and the Kullback-Leibler cross entropy criterion are used to formalize the inference problem.

U.S. MEAT EXPORTS AND FOOD SAFETY INFORMATION AgEcon
Jin, Hyun Joung; Koo, Won W..
New information about food safety can stimulate a sudden, significant concern by the public, resulting in a pronounced change in consumer demand. One such example is the declining level of beef consumption in Europe and Japan, stemming from the outbreak of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), known as mad-cow disease. This study evaluates the impacts of the BSE outbreak in Japan in September 2001 on the import demands for U.S. meat in Japan and South Korea, using a nonparametric revealed preference approach. Empirical results show that there are excess violations in the Japanese data after the timing of the outbreak, but not in the South Korean data, implying that the event has influenced Japanese meat import demand, but not South Korean meat import...

Facilitating healthy choice at the point of sale: fine-tuning nutrition labels versus editing choice? AgEcon
Aschemann-Witzel, Jessica.
Obesity rates in Europe have lead to a debate on what factors influence consumers’ in-store food choices most. This study aims to assess the contribution of nutrition labels against the impact of choice sets to facilitating healthy decision-making. Different front-of-pack labeling formats were implemented on products that were presented to representative consumer samples. Choice sets and product categories were systematically varied. The results indicate that nutrition information in general contribute only little, while extending choice sets with healthier product alternatives of the same category – i.e., ‘choice editing’ – largely contributes to healthy decision-making.

NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS AND CONSUMER WILLINGNESS TO BUY GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS AgEcon
Hossain, Ferdaus; Onyango, Benjamin M.; Adelaja, Adesoji O.; Schilling, Brian J.; Hallman, William K..
This study analyzes U.S. consumers’' acceptance of genetically modified foods within the ordered-probit-model framework. The willingness to consumer three difference GM foods is modeled in terms of consumers’' economic, demographic, and value attributes. Empirical results indicate that respondents’' attitudes and perceptions of biotechnology and their views about various private and public institutions associated with this technology are important determinants of their acceptance of food biotechnology. We find that attitudinal variables have greater influence on the acceptance of food biotechnology than do consumers'’ economic and demographic attributes. We find significant difference in consumer attitudes between plant- and animal-based bioengineered...

Food Quality and Food Safety in Hungarian Dairy Farms AgEcon
Vagany, Judit; Dunay, Anna.
In Hungary the introduction of quality assurance and food safety systems have achieved considerable results in the middle of the food-supply chain (i.e. in companies of food industry and trade sector), but in the ends of the chain (in agriculture and catering sector) there are still several problems. This article and our presentation wish to show a general overview on the Hungarian milk sector, to describe the present situation of the Hungarian dairy farms and try to explore and examine the main difficulties of the building-up process, installation and operation of HACCP System in the Hungarian fresh milk producing sector and, furthermore its opportunities and threats, too. We also give a short description of the Hungarian dairy sector, the main...

The Demand for Meats in Indonesia: A Censored Regression Approach AgEcon
Hutasuhut, Maradoli; O'Donnell, Christopher J.; Chang, Hui-Shung (Christie); Griffith, Garry R.; Doran, Howard E..
In this study, meat consumption and socio-demographic data from the 1990, 1993 and 1996 SUSENAS Household Food Expenditure and Consumption Surveys were employed to estimate the demand for meats in Indonesia. The provinces of DKI Jakarta and West Java were chosen as the areas of study because of the population, level of meat consumption and the availability and quality of information in these two provinces. Several statistical and econometric procedures were performed. Firstly, a cluster analysis (Nicol, 1991) was used to aggregate the 16 meat types recorded in the SUSENAS into four Meat Groups (MG-1, 2, 3 and 4). Secondly, a double truncation procedure was used to estimate the linear approximation of the Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) because of the...

Economic Impacts of Regionalization of a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Outbreak in the United States AgEcon
Paarlberg, Philip L.; Seitzinger, Ann Hillberg; Lee, John G..
This analysis examines the economic impact of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and the consequences of regionalization. The results suggest that an outbreak would have serious economic effects. Depending on the regionalization scenario, returns to capital and management in the poultry meat and egg sectors would fall between $602 million and $853 million dollars over 16 quarters. Consumers of poultry meat lose $900 million in consumer surplus in the first four quarters, a decline of 10.7%. Egg consumer surplus falls 17.1%. Regionalization lowers the economic welfare losses for producers because it dampens the export loss.

Identification Of Important Criteria In Farm Systems Decisions Around Lake Taupo AgEcon
Dooley, A.E.; Smeaton, D.; Ledgard, S.F..
Nitrogen leaching from agriculture contributes to contamination of Lake Taupo. Multiple criteria decision making was used to compare fourteen pre-defined farming systems which reduced, or maintained nitrogen losses. Case study participants included three to four each of Maori Incorporation representatives, owner-operators, Environment Waikato employees, and researchers. The total group identified criteria that were important in choosing between the systems. Profit and nitrogen outputs were provided for the systems. Individuals weighted criteria and subjectively scored each system’s performance against the remaining criteria. Systems were ranked using this information. Variation within and between groups was considerable. Key criteria included: profit; farm...

Chinese animal product consumption in the 1990s AgEcon
Ma, Hengyun; Rae, Allan N.; Huang, Jikun; Rozelle, Scott.
Chinese animal product consumption behaviour was analysed for both urban and rural households using a complete regional consumption dataset that was augmented to include away‐from‐home consumption. Seven animal product expenditure share equations were estimated with an extended Almost Ideal Demand System model. The results suggest that Chinese consumers will continue to increase their consumption of animal products, but that consumption patterns have changed in the 1990s. A large percentage of household animal product expenditure is still on pork. However, the shares for aquatic and poultry products consumption will increase substantially. As a consequence, the pork expenditure share will be gradually reduced as incomes grow and diet preferences change in...

Farm Animal Welfare and Quality Verification AgEcon
Uzea, Adrian D.; Hobbs, Jill E..
Existing empirical evidence suggests that farm animal welfare may not be a top-of-mind issue for many consumers in North America. Nevertheless, there is pressure from animal welfare groups on food retailers and processors to implement more stringent requirements for their suppliers. Is the demand for more stringent animal welfare protocols primarily determined by a subset of consumers with very strong preferences or by an underlying change in consumer and societal preferences? Who do consumers trust for credible quality assurances with respect to farm animal welfare attributes? This paper provides a basis for further analysis of these issues. The roles of different stakeholders in delivering farm animal welfare quality assurances to consumers are first...

Assessing Potential Impact of a Farmer Field School Training on Perennial Crop in Cameroon AgEcon
Wandji, Njankoua; Binam, Nyemeck; Sonii, David; Mva Mva, Jonas; Gockowski, James.
This study is an attempt of the combination of multiple data sources referring to the same time period and to the same farmer population, it aims at assessing the potential impact of a cocoa Farmer Field School Training on Integrated Pest Management in Cameroon. Using a combination of a latitudinal and a longitudinal comparison, the results indicate that FFS-trained farmers have significantly more knowledge about crop husbandry practices than those in the non-participant comparison group. A 32% production increase and 45% income increase relative to the non-participants was estimated in the latitudinal analysis. The longitudinal comparison is showing significant adoption rates of 94, 93, 90, 66 and 35 % respectively for shade management, phytosanitary...

School Breakfast and Lunch Costs: Are There Economies of Scale? AgEcon
Ollinger, Michael; Ralston, Katherine L.; Guthrie, Joanne F..
On a given school day, over 31 million lunches and 10.1 million breakfasts are served to children in participating American schools through the USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The United States Department of Agriculture reimburses schools for some or all of their costs. Reimbursement rates are based on an average meal cost, adjusted each year based on the national CPI for food away from home. There is no adjustment for school characteristics such as size, although there can be as much as a seven-fold difference in the number of meals served, from the smallest to largest schools. Yet, economists have shown that economies of scale exist in a variety of commercial and industrial settings. Thus, we use a multiproduct translog...

Low-Income Households' Expenditures on Fruits and Vegetables AgEcon
Blisard, Noel; Stewart, Hayden; Jolliffe, Dean.
Both public and private organizations have noted that Americans generally eat less fruits and vegetables than is recommended in the Food Guide Pyramid. For example, the Produce for Better Health Foundation found that only 38 percent of Americans consume the recommended number of servings of vegetables, while only 23 percent consume the recommended number of servings of fruit. Even more troubling, low-income households eat even less fruits and vegetables than higher income households.

The impact of food scares on price transmission along the food marketing chain AgEcon
Hassouneh, Islam; Serra, Teresa; Gil, Jose Maria.
In this paper we show how regime-switching vector error correction models can be used to assess the effects of food scares on price transmission along the food marketing chain. Our empirical implementation focuses on the impacts of the BSE crisis on price relationships and patterns of transmission among farm and retail markets for bovine in Spain. Monthly prices are used over the 1996-2005 period. A BSE food scare index is developed in order to measure the scale of the food scare crisis. Results suggest that the crisis affects beef producers and retailers differently. While consumer prices are not found to adjust to the crisis, producer prices do, though only when the scale of the food scare reaches certain minimum levels.

Interaction Between Food Attributes in Markets: The Case of Environmental Labeling AgEcon
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.
