Abstract

This study estimated the linear approximate Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/QUAIDS) of Hong Kong's fresh strawberry import demand by origin. The estimation results showed that the import demand elasticity of Japanese strawberries regarding total strawberry import expenditures has significantly decreased, as well as a significant positive cross-price elasticity of compensated demand regarding the unit price of strawberries from Korea or the USA. Thus, a strategy for strengthening the price competitiveness of Japanese strawberries is required in this market.
