摘要

水果和蔬菜(FV)是营养健康饮食的重要组成部分,但人们越来越关注与水果和蔬菜消费相关的食品安全风险。在这篇文章中,我们利用对五个中低收入国家(LMICs)8644 名消费者的调查数据,探讨了消费者对农药相关食品安全风险的担忧,以及这些担忧与选择果蔬销售点之间的关系。结果显示,农药残留是各国消费者最常提到的食品安全问题,部分原因是食品添加剂生产中大量使用合成农药。我们还发现,尽管现代零售店(如超市)在低收入国家发展迅速,覆盖面广,但传统的露天市场仍主导着食品和饮料零售环境。一般来说,消费者在做出食品零售店购买决定时更注重便利性和价格,但与农药相关的食品安全问题也会影响他们对食品零售店的选择。各国对农药问题与食品零售店选择之间关系的回归结果不尽相同,但我们发现有证据表明,担心农药问题的消费者更倾向于要求从专业商店购买食品零售店,而避免从街头小贩那里购买。我们的研究结果凸显了解决农药风险问题的必要性,因为农药风险问题可能会削弱消费者对营养食品(如家常菜)的需求。

Consumer pesticide concerns and the choice of fruit and vegetable markets in five low- and middle-income countries

Fruits and vegetables (FV) are critical components of nutritious and healthy diets, but there are growing concerns about food safety risks linked to their consumption. In this article, we explore consumers’ concerns about pesticide-related food safety risks and how they relate to the choice of FV outlets, using survey data from 8644 consumers in five low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Results show that pesticide residue is the most frequently cited source of food safety concern in each country, partly due to the intensive use of synthetic pesticides in FV production. We also find that FV retail environments are dominated by traditional open-air markets, despite the rapid growth and reach of modern retail outlets (e.g., supermarkets) in LMICs. Generally, consumers pay more attention to convenience and price when making FV purchase decisions, but pesticide-related food safety concerns also influence their FV outlet choices. Regression results of the associations between pesticide concerns and choice of FV outlets are heterogeneous across countries, but we find evidence suggesting that consumers who cited concerns with pesticides are more likely to demand FV from specialist shops and avoid purchasing from street hawkers. Our findings highlight the need to address pesticide risk concerns that can undermine consumer demand for nutritious foods, such as FV.

期刊介绍: Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
