| This paper analyzed the factors that affect farmers’ willingness to adopt salt-tolerant forage for livestock, using a Tobit model. The data used for the empirical analysis was obtained from a survey of 97 farmers in southeastern Tunisia. The results of this study show that variables related to age, education level, the salinity level of water and membership in a farmers’ association do not significantly influence the degree to which salt-tolerant forage production is adopted. It did, however, find a positive relationship between off-farm income availability and adoption. In addition, the flock size variable, expressed in Standard Livestock Units, has a significant and positive relationship with adoption. This indicates farmers’ need to cover their forage... |

| Exports of fish products are very important for the Sultanate of Oman to diversify sources of income and achieve higher standards of living to fishermen. In the past government regulations and support were sufficient to reach markets such as the European Union and the United States.

| During the last two decades, olive oil consumption in Japan is showing an increasing trend due to dietary and health concerns. Traditional olive oil producer and exporter countries such as Italy, Spain and Tunisia have interest to reinforce and to increase their penetration in the Japanese market. This study examines Japanese olive oil consumer behaviour by the use of the conjoint analysis technique. Five attributes have been chosen to design the experiment: region of origin, price, olive oil type, taste and colour. Two models have been estimated where the price variable was introduced in its discrete form in the first model and in its linear and quadratic from in the second model. In a second step, consumer segmentation was undertaken based on consumption... |

| This paper analyzed the factors that affect farmers' willingness to adopt salt-tolerant forage as forage source for livestock using a Tobit model. The data used for the empirical analysis has been obtained from a survey of 97 farmers in south-eastern Tunisia. The results of this study show that variables related to age, education level, salinity level of water and membership in a farmers' associations do not significantly influence adoption degree of salt-tolerant forage production. However, a positive relationship between off-farm income availability and adoption is found. Finally, the flock size variable, expressed in Standard Livestock Unit, has a significant and positive relationship with adoption. This indicates the need of farmers to cover their... |
