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.

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.
