Many countries in the region have made efforts to incorporate vitamin A varieties of sweet potato into their farming systems and diets. However, research on the acceptability of sweet potato dishes in these regions is limited. This study aims to fill this gap by providing empirical evidence on acceptability of sweet potato dishes and the comparative preferences of consumers for different value‐added sweet potato‐based meals using sensory analyses of 13 dishes and 55 panelists in Eritrea. We find a significant acceptance level, with a mean score of 4.21 out of 5. Certain products, such as low‐added sugar biscuits (mean score of 4.70 out of 5), low‐added sugar jams (4.56 out of 5), bread (4.59 out of 5), chips (4.56 out of 5), and stew (4.38 out of 5), have emerged as favorites, offering opportunities for agribusiness and household adoption. These findings suggest promising potential for integrating sweet potatoes into diets across these regions. However, the current lack of demand is might be due to inadequate investment in promotions, until a critical mass of adopters is reached.","PeriodicalId":187557,"journal":{"name":"World Food Policy","volume":"192 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387217","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}

It utilizes data from a global sample of 53 countries spanning the years 2000 to 2019. The findings from various levels of analysis reveal several key insights: first, Australia or Cameroon should allocate all their food resources to enhance the capacity utilization of their Food Supply Chains (FSC). Second, Ghana or New Zealand may concentrate 100% of their resources on improving the Responsiveness of their FSC. Third, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States should allocate 100% of their food resources to adjust resource allocation within their FSC. Fourth, for countries like Costa Rica and Canada, the allocation should be 19% to capacity utilization and 81% to resource allocation. Fifth, countries such as Cyprus, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and El Salvador should prioritize 12% of inputs for resilience and allocate the remaining 88% to resource allocation. Sixth, for countries like Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Russia, South Korea, Serbia, Senegal, and Singapore, the allocation should be 28% of inputs to responsiveness, with the majority, 72%, directed to resource allocation. Sixth, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Ghana have better performance across critical variables. This study introduces an innovative framework that facilitates the interaction of agri‐food supply chains with various macroeconomic variables, including GDP, inflation, corruption, food security, and nutrition, opening new avenues for a holistic understanding of these systems.","PeriodicalId":187557,"journal":{"name":"World Food Policy","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141111612","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}
