摘要:

AbstractEstimation and simulation of food expenditure models indicate that Americans 65 and older tend to spend more on food at home and less on food away from home than do younger households. Some regional variation occurs with the Northeast and West spending the most on total food. The econometric models also indicate that nonblacks spend more per food category than blacks except for meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. Projections indicate that the growth of food expenditures over the next 20 years will be slower than it was for the past 20 years.

摘要:

AbstractThis article assesses the potential problems and opportunities for expanding the use of cottonseed meal (CSM) as a protein supplement in animal feed rations. The primary tool of analysis was a national survey of feed formulators to analyze the key factors influencing their selection or nonselection of CSM as an ingredient in their feed formulations. The survey results suggest possible opportunities for expanding CSM use. Improvements in CSM market efficiency through providing enhanced and more accurate information in specific areas identified in the study may be the most effective means of promoting expanded use of CSM.

摘要:

AbstractJapan's 120 million consumers can buy their groceries at over 600,000 stores. In comparison, the 230 million consumers living in the United States are served by less than 40% this number of stores. Like the agricultural sector which supplies about half of the food sold through Japanese stores, the retail sector in Japan is experiencing change. These changes are potentially as important for the retail sector as the removal of import quotas on beef have been for the Japanese beef and dairy industries. The new policies could have farreaching consequences for the way Japanese households purchase their food and also for foreign firms supplying food products to Japan.

摘要:

AbstractCooperative producer organizations face the choice of investing producer dollars in a number of ways including basic research and advertising. An empirical model is specified for the Canadian supply‐managed egg market to determine whether producers should invest in research, advertising, or both. Results suggest that without financial restrictions producers should invest more in advertising than they currently do and also invest significantly in basic research. For any commodity, the results will be dependent on price elasticities of supply and demand as well as measured responses to advertising and researc

摘要:

AbstractThe Alaska king crab industry historically has been one of the most lucrative fishing industries in the United States. Low 1991 exvessel prices stunned the industry. An econometric model of Alaska king crab price formation is developed in this article to provide insight into potential causes of price movements. Wholesale price formation and allocation for the two largest markets, Japan and the United States, are explicitly modelled. Specific market conditions are shown to have resulted in an unusual market structure encompassing processors' price formation and product allocation. Recent events, including the deterioration of the US wholesale king crab market and economic liberalization in Russia, may have a profound impact on this industry. Model results are used in a discussion of potential ramifications of these events to industry participants.

摘要:

AbstractWe examined the efficiency of farm‐to‐plant milk collection in western Ohio. Results suggest that mileage reductions of 10% are possible by reordering farm stops while collecting loads of milk. A further 3% reduction is possible by moving dairy farms between loads. When examining efficiencies, guaranteed lowest mileage (GLM) and heuristic algorithms were used to generate schedules. Heuristic algorithms account for about 80% of the mileage reductions identified by GLM algorithms. GLM algorithms are computationally feasible for ordering farm stops while collecting milk loads. However, heuristic algorithms must be relied on for moving dairy farms between lo
