摘要:

AbstractA framework is provided which will facilitate continuing dialogue regarding needed research thrusts to enhance agribusiness competitiveness. Competitiveness research, at the individual firm level, focuses on increasing the differentia advantage of firms. Efforts to assist firms in anticipating and responding to changes in their business environment, as well as work to increase internal decision‐making capabilities, can lead to enhanced performance. Although considerable impetus exists to concentrate on urgent empirical problems, conceptual contributions which assist in understanding and recognizing changes in the agribusiness sector will have long‐run pay

摘要:

AbstractThis report examines the economic effects of the Export Enhancement Program for poultry meat for 1987. Total exports have increased 79 thousand metric tons due to the program. Model results indicate that every metric ton of poultry meat subsidized has resulted in an additional 0.83 metric ton of poultry meat exports at an average cost of $761/mt. Although US poultry exports have increased, other poultry exporters (including the European Community) have not been significantly affected. US producers have gained marginally, while US consumers have lost an equivalent amount of welfare through higher domestic poultry prices.

摘要:

AbstractThe characteristics of microcomputer usage and the determinants of successful computerization in agribusinesses were assessed. The results indicate that the agribusiness manager can influence the success of the system by becoming personally involved in its development. Organizational and managerial characteristics, such as firm size and the level of education of the manager, did not influence the success of the computer system, although they were related to the agribusiness' decision to adopt microcomputers.

摘要:

AbstractGrain, hog, and fed cattle producers were surveyed to identify factors affecting the use of selected marketing alternatives. Iowa data were collected on farm size, financial status, management practices, and farm policy preferences. Differences were found among farm operators marketing various commodities. In all regressions, use of one forward pricing alternative was related to use of other forward pricing alternatives. Gross sales appeared to be related to the use of forward pricing alternatives for all enterprises. Finally, the study identified various factors that may help agribusinesses to more effectively target education programs on the forward pricing alternatives.

摘要:

AbstractThe objectives of this research were to determine the level of producer support for an egg marketing order and obtain information on the preferred structure of a marketing order. A national mail survey was used to gather information on producer attitudes. A majority of respondents felt national action would lead to higher egg prices and should include both control on the number of shell eggs entering the fresh market and a promotion, research, and consumer education program. Responses were analyzed on the basis of flock size, regional location, and flock size change over the last three years.

摘要:

AbstractA national household survey was conducted to evaluate consumer willingness to accept irradiated fresh food products. For those consumers willing to purchase irradiated food, analyses were conducted relative to their willingness to pay a price premium for proposed benefits of food irradiation. A low level of awareness of food irradiation exists. Fifty‐four percent of households were not willing to purchase irradiated food. Education, income, and sex were significant in some analyses but were not successful in predicting or classifying consumer willingness to purchase or pay more for irradiated food. Measurement of consumer beliefs and values affecting food safety concerns may improve levels of prediction and classificatio
