Abstract

In developing countries, milk quality characteristics are not maintained by the milk producers and the middlemen. This study initially estimates the influence of various milk quality attributes on its price and then estimate the effect of socio-demographic characteristics on the marginal price of the milk components. Data collected from milk consumers through personal interview method, and milk sample took from the same consumers are used to estimate a two-stage hedonic model. In the first stage, prices were estimated for milk components and in the second stage, implicit price of each component was used as the dependent variable. The first stage results show that fat, solids-not-fat, total plate counts, color, and pleasant aroma have a significant impact on the milk price. The second stage results indicate that fat and solids-not-fat values are a function of the sociodemographic characteristics of consumers. To maintain milk quality attributes, we recommend the establishment of chilling centers for maintenance of quality, checkpoints and mobile laboratories for testing quality, provision of basic testing equipment at subsidized rates, hygiene awareness program for stakeholders in value chain, health risk awareness for consumers consuming raw milk and its products, and introduction and popularization of enzyme-based lactoperoxidase preservation technology.
巴基斯坦原料奶质量属性对其定价的影响
在发展中国家,牛奶生产商和中间商无法保持牛奶的质量特征。本研究首先估计了各种牛奶质量属性对其价格的影响,然后估计了社会人口特征对牛奶成分边际价格的影响。通过个人访谈法从牛奶消费者那里收集的数据,以及从同一消费者那里采集的牛奶样本,用于估计两阶段享乐模型。在第一阶段,估计牛奶成分的价格,在第二阶段,使用每个成分的隐含价格作为因变量。第一阶段的结果表明,脂肪、固体不脂肪、总盘子数、颜色和宜人的香气对牛奶价格有显著影响。第二阶段的结果表明,脂肪和固体非脂肪值是消费者社会人口特征的函数。为了保持牛奶的质量属性,我们建议建立用于维护质量的冷藏中心、用于检测质量的检查站和移动实验室、以补贴价格提供基本检测设备、价值链利益相关者的卫生意识计划、食用生牛奶及其产品的消费者的健康风险意识,以及基于酶的乳过氧化物酶保存技术的引进和推广。
