However, few consumer studies of fish preferences have been conducted in South and Southeast Asian markets. A choice experiment was conducted at the consumer level in three cities, and the data were analyzed with a mixed logit model in willingness-to-pay space. The results showed that on average, consumers were willing to pay more for indigenous than for foreign fish species. Furthermore, they preferred domestic to imported production and fresh to frozen fish. However, Bangladeshi consumers were not willing to pay a significant premium for wild-caught fish. The lack of consumer differentiation in regard to the production method is promising for aquaculture in this region and provides hope for reducing the pressure on wild fisheries.","PeriodicalId":35464,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Food and Agribusiness Marketing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08974438.2019.1697409","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45914063","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}

Nevertheless, upgrade in existing meat standards results in increased market price. Consumer satisfaction and willingness to pay (WTP) for upgraded meat standards are thus, pertinent. Using double-bounded contingent valuation, data were obtained from 400 consumers. Likert scale ranking technique, probit, tobit and truncated regressions were employed. Consumers were generally satisfied with hygiene of surrounding, pleasing appearance of meat, standard of measurement, and consistency in supplying meat but unsatisfied with packaging, price, and customer care. Averagely, consumers were willing to pay 59% increase in market price of meat if upgraded. Education, income, household composition, location-specific variables, meat safety consciousness and trust in certification agencies determine consumer satisfaction and WTP for upgraded meat attributes. The high dissatisfaction and WTP suggest a high market potential for upgraded meat attributes. The market for upgraded meat should be niched and target the educated, high income, households with children, and location-specific factors.","PeriodicalId":35464,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Food and Agribusiness Marketing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08974438.2020.1812464","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44450951","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}

Based on the elasticities’ estimations, the findings show that for wine, beer, and spirits consumption increases proportionally with total expenditure on alcoholic beverages (and income). Regarding their own price, the demand for the three beverages present a negative and inelastic behavior. Moreover, beer and spirits are imperfect substitutes of wine and vice-versa, while beer and spirits are complements.","PeriodicalId":35464,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Food and Agribusiness Marketing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08974438.2020.1812463","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47915504","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}

Using the lens of Resource-Based theory, this study aims to identify specific resources and capabilities that enable small premium food producers to undertake export into foreign markets. This exploratory study utilized semi-structured interviews with (N = 7) SMEs operating in Tasmania, Australia.

As a result, many producers and firms in the Euro-Mediterranean countries have opted for several quality and origin assurance schemes. Among them, a prevalent role is played by the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certification that constitutes a successful differentiation tool for agricultural products, and it is also widely used by Euro-Mediterranean olive oil producers due to effective contribution in promoting high-quality olive oil. After going through previous studies of PDO olive oil, this review paper investigates the general aspects and prospects of PDO olive oil products and EU relevant regulations, highlighting the socio-economic dimensions and impacts upon producers, consumers, and rural areas, and determining the gap between literature and practice with regards to PDO’s implementation and the expected benefits.
