| This paper reports on initial data collection for the consumer-preference objective in the three-year research project, "An Extended-Season Barry Production and Marketing System to Enhance Viability of Small Appalachian Farms and Rural Communities." This USDA NRI-funded project studies impacts on small farms and rural communities of widespread adoption of a unique full-season system of berry production with sales to high-value markets. Small-acreage farms in Southern Ohio and similar Appalachian regions are looking for alternatives that may approach the per-acre returns of traditional tobacco production. Small fruit crops have similar production requirements (labor and management intensive, small acreage) and can provide a significant income that more... |

| Policy concerns arise as e-business activities become increasingly common. This paper discusses important elements of such concerns, particularly the pro- and anti-competitive assessment of online business-to-business (B2B) exchanges. The definition of markets, the role of quality management and communication, and join purchasing implications within such environments are related to food distribution systems. Other online business-to-consumer (B2C) and consumer-to-business (C2B) policy concerns are also raised. |

| Forecasts of the proportion of food retailing likely to be conducted over the Internet remain small, perhaps only contributing 2 percent of sales. One reason for this low market share is the challenge E-Grocers face in developing strategies which respond to four key areas of interest to consumers: signals of firm quality; signals of product quality; the range of products offered; and service, or customer-relationship management (CRM). Careful attention to these consumer concerns is important in all retail relationships-online or offline. This paper compares indicators of these factors across U.S. E-Grocers. A quantitative four-period ranking of online food-retailing strategies is presented for the nascent industry. Data from the third and fourth quarters... |

| 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. |

| Increasingly, grocery stores are marketing foods differentiated as locally produced. Freshness and taste are obvious reasons for consumer preference for these goods, but also important may be home-bias. Whatever the motive, there is substantial evidence that some consumers are willing to pay premium prices for food characterized as locally produced. A customer-intercept survey and a choice experiment of food shoppers in direct markets and traditional grocery stores was analyzed using Conjoint methods to evaluate WTP for characteristics related to locally grown fresh strawberries. Our results suggest that consumers are willing to pay more for locally produced berries: Customers intercepted in grocery stores would pay an average of 64 cents more per quart,... |
