The study identifies factors influencing the importance consumers in the Republic of Korea attach to food poisoning resulting from eating vegetables, fruits, or nuts. Survey data collected from 1,100 females residing in the seven major urban centers are used to estimate the equations. Results are used to calculate probabilities associated with the specific opinions held by respondents with regard to, among others, demographic and economic characteristics and preferences about food and food production methods.
The Northern Corridor (NC) is the main route connecting the land-locked countries of East Africa with the port of Mombasa and is heavily used for shipping goods, including perishable cargo. This paper examines how factors pertaining to truck features, job conditions, and truck driver characteristics influence the decision to accept perishable cargo and the size of an accepted perishable product shipment. The decision equation and the volume shipped equation are estimated using survey data collected from truck drivers interviewed at the border crossing between Uganda and Kenya in September and October 2018. Results show that independent truck drivers and drivers who are Kenyan citizens are more likely to accept perishable cargo and ship larger volumes than drivers working for trucking companies. The opposite influence is associated with drivers operating at set schedules and in response to the increasing truck age, possibly due to the risk of malfunction during a trip.
A number of governments support their fanning sector by providing various forms of assistance. Many countries maintain publicly funded research institutions aimed at the development of agricultural technology. Past studies examined the benefits from the development and commercialization of agricultural and food technology. In general, although the immediate benefits occur to the early adopters (i.e., farmers who pioneer the application of the new technology), ultimately, the rewards are also felt by consumers. Consumers either benefit from a price decline or from the improved quality of a good. Often times, however, consumers are unaware of the link between the investment of public funds in technology development and the long term benefits they receive. Yet the support of consumers for the publicly funded research is essential. This paper examines the perceptions held by consumers with regard to the benefits from research on new agricultural technology in the Republic of Korea. In particular, we identify factors influencing consumer perception of benefits that occur to them and to farmers. The difference in perception could result from the timing of receiving the benefits because, typically, farmers gain before consumers can experience a price decrease or quality improvement. By knowing the perception differences, decision-makers in the public and private sector can improve the communication with the public about the short- and long-term benefits from research in agricultural and food technology. Improved communication helps to secure the lasting support for the public funding of such technology.
Because of the correlation between an individual’s health and physical activity, this study examines factors influencing the participation of rural residents in various recreational activities. Using survey data collected from rural residents of two areas of Lubelskie Voivodship, this paper fills the gap in research focused on rural residents. The response summary identifies the two most common forms of recreation among rural residents as walking and bicycling, recreation forms common in other European and non-European countries. To further identify personal characteristics and their relation to the frequency of recreational walking and biking, two equations were specified and estimated using latent dependent variable techniques. The results equation showed that females and farmers were more frequently walking than men or non-farming rural residents. In the case of recreational biking, married respondents, farmers, and residents of the northern area of Lubelskie were twice as likely to bike often or very often than the non-married, not employed in farming, and residents of the southern area. Results indicate that in addition to different demographic characteristics, location determines physical activity as reflected in recreational walking and biking, suggesting different approaches are needed to increase participation in either form of recreation among rural residents.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the demand for fresh fruits in Scotland in order to provide evidence about their sensitivity to changes in prices and income. Six fresh fruit categories were studied using time series for the period 2006 to 2011: citrus, apples and pears, bananas, grapes, soft fruit, a residual category and other fruits. The series were constructed from a consumer panel that reports weekly purchases by approximately 1300 households and which allowed to construct thirteen periods of four weeks each year. The demand for fruits was modelled using a dynamic version of the Almost Ideal Demand System. Short term and long term conditional elasticities (Marshallian, Hicksian and expenditure) were estimated. The results from the long term elasticities indicated the demand for all the categories were sensitive to changes in prices. Grapes and soft fruits were the most price elastic fruits. In addition, whilst all the expenditure elasticities were positive, the elasticity of citrus was greater than one, apple and pears, bananas and grapes were approximately one and soft fruit and other fresh fruits were less than one.
Celem analizy było zbadanie związku między wzrostem lesistości a gruntami rolnymi w latach 2010-2015 oraz korelacją pomiędzy lesistością a migracją wewnętrzną mieszkańców poszukujących zatrudnienia poza rolnictwem (m.in. przez rejestrację mikroprzedsiębiorstw) na przykładzie województwa podlaskiego. Zastosowano metodę opisową, którą poszerzono o wyliczenie współczynnika korelacji Pearson’a dla zbadania kluczowych współzależności. Obliczone współczynniki korelacji sugerują silne powiązanie wielkości środków UE z wielkością obszarów zalesionym w trzech wydzielonych powiatach – Białystok, Łomża, Suwałki. Ponadto, stwierdzono wysoką korelację między migracją wewnętrzną a działalnością przedsiębiorców odzwierciedloną w liczbie zarejestrowanych podmiotów gospodarczych w powiatach białostockim i łomżyńskim oraz przeciętnych powiązań w przypadku powiatu suwalskiego. Na transfer użytków rolnych pod zalesiania ma wpływ lokalny rozwój infrastruktury technicznej, np. budowa dróg w powiecie suwalskim i oddziaływuje na uzyskane współczynniki korelacji.
The study examines the recent changes in per capita consumption of apples and exotic fruits focusing on the competition between the two fruit categories. In particular, the per capita consumption of apples declined from about 21 kg in 2004 to about 15 kg in 2012, while the consumption of exotic fruit increased from about 9 kg to kg in 2005 to 12.5 kg in 2012. The examination stresses the inadequacy to analyze consumption using the concept of “an average household” because the concept does not reflect the potential differences in households with inadequate fresh fruit consumption such as families with a large number of children. Using GUS data for the period 2008-2012, the paper illustrates the differences in the consumption of both fruit categories according to households classified applying demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Graphic presentation of per capita consumption volume and statistical test results show the large differences in the consumption of apples, the primary domestic fruit, and imported fruits. Poland’s apple growers, fruit importers, distributors and retailers as well as public health agencies are offered insights useful in making decisions about apple promotion, marketing strategies and consumer education programs.
This article investigates factors influencing knowledge of renewable energy types among 200 residents of 13 villages in Lubelskie province using survey data collected in 2013. Survey summary responses indicate that solar and wind energy were best known and biofuels the least known among five energy types considered in the questionnaire. Factors associated with varying degrees of renewable energy sources were identified using the multivariate ordered probit approach. The largest change in probability that a respondent’s self-assessed knowledge level fell into a specific category was associated with being a farmer, viewing the subject matter of the survey as important, having high income, being from a large household and, being married.
The cost efficiency of the dairy subsector has been analyzed using data for two FADN regions and four subregions in Poland for the period 2004/05-2007/08. The cost efficiency indexes have been calculated for each farm from two FADN regions and two other FADN regions after each was further subdivided into two subregions. Both regional and subregional analyses revealed large differences in relative cost efficiency of dairy farms in each area. In particular, the subregional analysis suggests that Podlaskie and Łódzkie subregion seem to have a relatively larger number of very efficient dairy farms followed by the Wielkopolskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie subregion. Overall, however, every region seems to have a large number of farms, which could improve their cost efficiency. Given the location of dairy processors, dairy farms in the two mentioned subregions and the region of Pomorskie and Mazury have a relative advantage, while the subregion Mazowieckie and Lubelskie has an easy access to the largest market represented by Warsaw and surroundings. The dairy industry may generate some jobs in subregions leading in milk production, especially if the elimination of milk quota in 2014 will increase demand for milk and dairy products in neighboring countries leading to expansion of milk production.
This study explores the determinants of food expenditures in northern Ghana’s rural households, using a survey data collected in 2010 in the vicinity of Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region. Three estimation methods (OLS, OLS with robust error, and WLS) are used in empirical models to address the possible heteroscedasticity. Models indicate that socio-demographic factors such as income, owning a tractor, age, and household composition are important factors in determining food expenditure. Similarly, farm features such as cultivation of staple or cash crops, the field size of groundnuts, as well as buying dry goods in bulk are also found to be major determinants. Results provide useful information for both private and public sector decision makers, while supplying ample evidence of the importance of estimation method selection to generate most accurate quantified effects of individual explanatory variables on food expenditure.
