| This study examines how the spatial distribution of grocery stores affects food prices charged in neighborhoods with different median incomes. Studies have shown that low-income neighborhoods often have fewer grocery stores, smaller grocery stores and have higher prices for a standard market basket of food than higher income neighborhoods. In addition, a greater concentration of firms has reduced the number of companies operating supermarkets, reducing competition. Smaller stores and greater concentration have both been shown to cause higher prices in food retail outlets. However, the impact of the number and distribution of stores throughout a neighborhood on food prices has not yet been studied. |

Specifically the objectives of the study are to 1) estimate the benefits to fruit and vegetable industries and consumers should people eat the general and subgroup 7-a-day and 9-a-day recommendation; 2) estimate the benefits should smaller increases of only 10 percent or 25 percent be achieved; and 3) determine how agricultural inputs, including land and labor, would be affected by the increase in demand for fruits and vegetables. To protect against the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer the 2005 USDA dietary guidelines recommend the consumption of 3 to... |
