Alam","doi":"10.3923/TAE.2011.42.49","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3923/TAE.2011.42.49","url":null,"abstract":"Japanese people consumed at the average of 45.2 kg capita-1 in 1965 and had reached the peak of 54.6 kg capita-1 in 1973 but decreased to 27.5 kg capita-1 in 2006. Fresh fruits household expenses in Japan can be divided into 2 eras which is increasing era (1973-1992) and decreasing era (1992-2006) that shows the consumption pattern for the commodity. In Japan, fruits consumption distribution shows different pattern due to each fruit have different consumption characteristic and trend of demand. Therefore, it is crucial to understand economic characteristic for each fruit by understanding its price and expenditure elasticity. Present study covers the comparison study for the demand of fresh fruits by Japanese household across all over Japan for the period of 1973-1992 and 1992-2006. In this study, we analyze demand elasticity for fruits in general and other 14 fresh fruits available in Japanese market such as apple, pear, peach, persimmon, mandarin orange, orange, other citrus, grapefruits, watermelon, melon, strawberry, grape, banana and other fruit. The demand elasticity estimation was carried out using differentiated double logarithmic demand function. We used SHAZAM software for present regression analysis in this study. Present study have found the demand for fresh fruits by Japanese household are inferior goods and highly affected by the price. Generally, the demand for the fresh fruits by Japanese household is decrease. This study provides important information about the Japanese consumer demand for fresh fruits which could serve as guidelines for understanding consumer spending on fresh fruits as well as making structural marketing adjustments.","PeriodicalId":150128,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Agricultural Economics","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116275940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bauchi State occupies total land area of 492,359 km2 and has human population of 4,696,465. Using multistage random sampling technique a total of 60 fadama farmers were randomly selected from 60 Fadama Users Associations (FUA) and a corresponding 60 pastoralists randomly selected from 60 fadama communities where the selected FUAs resided. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaire administered through individual personal interviews. The data were analysed using the descriptive statistics, t-test and alternative cost technique. Results revealed that about N3, 193, 100.00 was incurred from both totally damaged and partially destroyed tube well/washbore equipment with water pumps recording N176, 415.00. Motorcycles and bicycles accounted for N565, 254.00 in terms of losses experienced. Comparatively, the arable farmers incurred higher (N80, 075,172.00) losses in monetary term than the pastoralists (N7, 047, 013.00). While reduction in farm production, increased poverty within and among the communities and social insecurity and inadequate food supply for the family were the major setbacks encountered in the area, interruption of education of children and reduction in healthcare provision of the family represented relatively lower proportions. Further, the income (N358, 000.00) of farmers in the conflict area was significantly (p","PeriodicalId":150128,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Agricultural Economics","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122338111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
