Consumer Decision-Making Rules for FMCG Products—Study of Rural in North India

The present study aims to identify the demographic variables that influence rural customers’ decision-making rules in the process of purchasing fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) products. Five FMCG personal care products are taken into consideration for the study. A multistage proportionate sampling procedure was adopted and 550 respondents were selected for the study. The regression model enables the marketers to identify the key demographic variables which affect the decision-making rules used by rural people. The study concludes that consumers’ decision-making rules are influenced by rural consumer’s educational backgrounds and the number of family members under the age of 18 years. In the context of FMCG products, our research assists marketers in designing strategies that take into consideration the needs and demands of rural residents. Further studies possibly will be expanded to include other FMCG product categories such as domestic care, food, and beverages.

Food import demand with structural breaks, economic embargo and the COVID-19 pandemic in a wealthy, highly import-dependent country

PurposeQatar, a wealthy country with an open economy has limited arable land. To meet its domestic food demand, the country heavily relies on food imports. Additionally, the over three year-long economic embargo enforced by regional neighbors and the covariate shock of the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated the country's vulnerability to food insecurity and potential for structural breaks in macroeconomic data. The purpose of this paper is to examine short- and long-run determinants of Qatar's imports of aggregate food, meats, dairy and cereals in the presence of structural breaks.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use 24 years of food imports, gross domestic product (GDP) and consumer price index (CPI) data obtained from Qatar's Planning and Statistics Authority. They use the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration framework and Chambers and Pope's exact nonlinear aggregation approach.FindingsUnit root tests in the presence of structural breaks reveal a mixture of I (1) and I (0) variables for which standard cointegration techniques do not apply. The authors found evidence of a significant long-run relationship between structural changes and food imports in Qatar. Impulse response functions indicate full adjustments within three-quarters of a year in the event of an exogenous shock to imports.Research limitations/implicationsAn exogenous shock of one standard deviation on this variable would reduce Qatar's food imports by about 2.5% during the first period but recover after the third period.Originality/valueThe failure of past aggregate food demand studies to go beyond standard unit root testing creates considerable doubt about the accuracy of their elasticity estimates. The authors avoid that to provide more credible findings.

Oregon shellfish farmers: Perceptions of stressors, adaptive strategies, and policy linkages

In the United States, domestic oyster aquaculture production is insufficient to meet national demand, thus creating a reliance on international oyster imports for consumption. West coast shellfish farmers are threatened by climate change, including ocean acidification as well as socioeconomic challenges such as labor availability. To expand and enhance United States oyster production, and support domestic food security and livelihoods, a better understanding of the limitations that oyster farmers’ experience, and corresponding pathways forward for adaptation is needed. Through semi-structured interviews conducted with commercial Oregon shellfish farmers, we assess the environmental, economic, social and regulatory stressors impacting oyster growing operations, and the corresponding adaptive strategies employed or envisioned by aquaculture farmers. We find farmers are most impacted by environmental stressors (nuisance species that interact with oysters or oyster habitat negatively), followed by regulatory and economic stressors (permitting and regulations and labor availability). Farmers perceived ocean acidification as a risk, but primarily at the oyster larva stage rather than the juvenile or adult grow-out stage. Examples of farmer-identified adaptive strategies included streamlining permitting and regulations, incentivizing employee retention, and having flexibility in culture type to avoid nuisance species and other environmental stressors. An increase in targeted outreach related to aquaculture policies and engagement with industry, scientists, managers, and policy-makers could facilitate policies that support these and other adaptive strategies.

Analysis of Endocrine Disrupting Nonylphenols in Foods by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry.

Nonylphenols (NPs) are classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are known to cause disorders in the endocrine systems of organisms. Due to their high lipophilicity and low degradability, these harmful substances are known to accumulate and persist in the environment, and even enter into the food chain. Analytical methods of liquid-liquid extraction using solid-phase extraction for sample clean-up combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry were established to determine the presence of NPs in foods. This study aimed to develop and validate these methods using four food matrices representing high-fat and low-fat solid food, as well as high-fat and low-fat liquid food, groups. The single linear isomer 4-n-NP was used to validate the quantification of NPs, which exist in complex isomer mixtures. Our results showed good linearity, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.998 for all four matrices. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.37-1.79 and 1.11-5.41 μg/kg, respectively. Recovery rates were 86.8-108.6% and 92.6-101.9% for intraday and interday assays, respectively, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were below 12% for both assays. The method was applied to analyze 1185 domestic food samples consumed by Koreans, with NPs detected at concentration ranges of 2.57-269.07 μg/kg. Results for each food type over wide concentration ranges indicated that these compounds are highly dependent on the area of cultivation, and are affected by the levels of those contaminants in different environments. The contents of NPs in foods from animal sources were generally higher than those from plant sources, in particular being higher in the intestines than in lean tissue. The present findings could form the basis for determining the level of dietary exposure to NPs and how each food source contributes to it in South Korea.

Evaluation of Agricultural Policies and Programmes for Sustainable Future Farming Intensification in Nigeria

Nigeria is enthusiastic with strong ambition and immense potential, which has been manifested in various agricultural frameworks and policies. Most of the agricultural frameworks and policies are meant by the government to attain food self-sufficiency and rapid economic development. Several studies have explored historical trends of government interventions and liberalization in the agricultural sector. However, the objective of the government has not been attained as a result of trajectory in efficient implementations of agricultural policies in the country. This paper therefore primarily aims at evaluating the agricultural policies and programmes for sustainability of future farming in Nigeria with specific focus on various determinants of sustainability of the agricultural sector, which will consequently bring food self-sufficiency, create employment, and bring about rapid economic growth in the country. The methodology used is qualitative content analysis of secondary data. The first part of the findings demonstrated that there is need to fill the gap in the existing agricultural frameworks and policies towards making future farming sustainable in the country. The second part of the result indicated that sustainability of agricultural sector for future farming intensification focused on the improvement of some major aspects such as viable implementation of agricultural policy, productive land for agricultural productivity, and government inputs to the farmers in reviving the agricultural sector. It is also noted that the interventions of the government through the building of shopping malls and establishment of national markets for marketability of various products such as groundnut, palm oil, rubber, cocoa, among others, can be instrumental in achieving sustainable future farming food domestic food production to attain food self-sufficiency and rapid economic development. In conclusion, the study showed that the implementation of agricultural policy is meaningful, and it can foster the sustainability of farming specifically in adequately utilizing unused land across the country. It is therefore suggested that the government needs to improve the input subsidies and to establish various national markets for selling different by-products and many others in order to achieve sustainability of the agricultural sector for future farming in the country.

Asymmetric relationship between global and national factors and domestic food prices: evidence from Turkey with novel nonlinear approaches

This study investigates the asymmetric relationship between global and national factors and domestic food prices in Turkey, considering the recent rapid and continuous increase in domestic food prices. In this context, six global and three national explanatory variables were included, and monthly data for the period from January 2004 to June 2021 were used. In addition, novel nonlinear time-series econometric approaches, such as wavelet coherence, Granger causality in quantiles, and quantile-on-quantile regression, were applied for examination at different times, frequencies, and quantiles. Moreover, the Toda-Yamamoto (TY) causality test and quantile regression (QR) approach were used for robustness checks. The empirical results revealed that (i) there is a significant relationship between domestic food prices and explanatory variables at different times and frequencies; (ii) a causal relationship exists in most quantiles, excluding the lowest quantile, some middle quantiles, and the highest quantile for some variables; (iii) the power of the effect of the explanatory variables on domestic food prices varies according to the quantiles; and (iv) the results were validated by the TY causality test and QR, which show that the results were robust. Overall, the empirical results reveal that global and national factors have an asymmetric relationship with domestic food prices, highlighting the effects of fluctuations in global and national variables on domestic food prices. Thus, the results imply that Turkish policymakers should consider the asymmetric effects of global and national factors on domestic food prices at different times, frequencies, and quantiles.

Understanding Consumers’ Acceptance Intention to Use Mobile Food Delivery Applications through an Extended Technology Acceptance Model

The rapid growth of the domestic food delivery market has led to intense market competition as the use of delivery applications has grown quickly. This study explored the variables of personal innovativeness, trust, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and intention to use such applications by testing the extended technology acceptance model (ETAM). By using Google Forms, data were collected from 10 May 2022 for a period of two weeks from Koreans who have experience using mobile food delivery applications. A total of 296 responses were used to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that personal innovativeness had a positive effect on perceived ease of use. Trust was found to positively affect perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The variables perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness significantly influenced intention to use food delivery applications. This current research study provides practical implications by suggesting that ease of use with food delivery applications deserves further consideration. It was shown to be a key factor in increasing the intention to use such applications and can help to influence the creation of strategies to enhance continuous usage.

Enhancing domestic consumption to deliver food security in a volatile world

Abstract Non-technical summary Global conflicts and the pandemic reveal the risks of food import reliance. In the UK, pandemic, Brexit, and Ukraine war caused food price spikes. To bolster food security, the UK needs to produce and consume more domestically, including nutrient-rich bivalve mollusks. Current mollusk exports hinder domestic food sources. Promoting domestic consumption through convenient, attractive products and taxing unhealthy processed foods can help. Reducing reliance on food trade is crucial amid global instability and climate change. The UK's mollusk export issues illustrate food security risks of excessive reliance on international trade. Technical summary Here we examine the critical issue of food security in the context of international volatility, emphasizing the risks associated with an excessive reliance on food trade. The UK's experience with disruptions caused by the pandemic, Brexit, and the Ukraine war, resulting in a significant surge in food prices, serves as a pertinent case study. The research underscores the potential benefits of increasing domestic food production and consumption to enhance resilience against global events. The UK's current production, export, and import statistics are analyzed, with a particular focus on the fish and seafood sector. The study highlights the bivalve mollusk industry, such as blue mussels, as an example of an underutilized domestic resource. Bivalve mollusks are rich in essential micronutrients, yet their consumption in the UK is low compared to other countries. We propose strategies to boost domestic demand, including incorporating bivalve meat into processed food products, utilizing advanced technologies to improve taste and texture, and government intervention through taxes on unhealthy processed foods to promote better nutritional profiles. In summary, the study emphasizes the need for greater self-sufficiency in food production to mitigate vulnerabilities resulting from an overreliance on food trade in the context of international conflicts and climate change. Social media summary Failure to effectively utilize domestic food resources and overreliance on trade threatens food security in an increasingly volatile world.

Продовольственный комплекс России в 2022 году: достигнутые результаты и задачи развития

Unprecedented external pressure and various kinds of sanctions imposed by the West against Russia increased risks for the Russian economy and reduced business investment activity for industrial modernization and the creation of modern infrastructure facilities. Thanks to a number of decisions taken by the state, including measures of state support, a good result was obtained in agricultural production, fisheries and processing industries. It is necessary to preserve the results achieved in the production of agricultural raw materials and the extraction of aquatic biological resources, to prevent a decrease in food production, to maintain price stability in the food market. Exports of raw materials and finished products, of course, need to be developed, but not to the detriment of the domestic food market. In modern conditions of confrontation with the West, it is extremely important to establish the production of domestic seed material of agricultural crops, expand the range of manufactured technological equipment, and put modern fishing vessels into operation in a timely manner. In order to stabilize prices, attract investments necessary to create a modern infrastructure for the storage and logistics of agricultural raw materials and food, the state should create certain preferences for business, as well as help improve access to markets for finished products of small businesses and local producers.

Food price and Inflation Adjustments in Nigeria: Evidence from Threshold Cointegration

This paper investigates two stages of transmission through which inflation stabilization policy affects headline inflation by estimating a threshold cointegration model. The paper finds that asymmetric monetary shocks passing-through food prices exerts inflationary pressure on consumer prices, and is characterized by deep asymmetric movement, large degree of stickiness in adjusting downward, while exhibiting upward momentum in correcting food price fall. In addition, asymmetries were found in consumer price adjustment as food price shock transmits substantial inflationary pressure to consumer prices, while disinflationary effect originating from a fall in food price is inconsequential. The coefficients of adjustment were found to be robust in the sub-sample. This paper concludes that an unconventional monetary policy intervention that aims at stabilizing headline inflation by means of stimulating food supply could unavoidably inflate food prices more than it could deflate it especially if the elasticity of domestic food output to money supply growth is less compared to response of food price to money supply. Hence, caution must be taken on the size differential of output response to the net rise in money supply and price adjustment to the expansion in money supply.

Balancing the scales: Achieving food security and environmental sustainability in Malaysia through integrated approaches and collaborative governance

Food security and environmental sustainability are significant challenges in Malaysia. Malaysia intends to improve food security by expanding domestic food production and increasing access to nutritious food. However, the country also acknowledges the importance of environmental sustainability in protecting its various ecosystems and natural resources. The imbalance between food security and environmental sustainability faced environmental deterioration, water scarcity and pollution, biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, land use disputes, and food waste. This study explores the issues and challenges of balancing the need for food security and environmental sustainability. An in-depth interview was conducted with saturated data collection, compromising insights from five (5) respondents who are government officers related to food security and environmental sustainability. This study found that Malaysia has implemented several policies, integrated techniques, and collaborative solutions to promote sustainable agricultural systems and environmental preservation. These findings are crucial to balance the scales between food security and environmental sustainability.

Investigation of the continuous mode of mixing when changing the rotation frequency of the impeller of the mixing plant

With the development of farms, by analogy with developed Western countries with well-established agricultural production, certain hopes are placed on solving the domestic food problem. It has been established that there are very few power tools for small-scale mechanization and agricultural implements for them. However, the domestic industry can provide almost complete mechanization of processes and bring it to a comprehensive one. It is also known that without solving this problem, that is, without a high level of mechanization of production processes, it is impossible to achieve high performance in the functioning of the farm. The domestic industry has now developed and put into production various power tools for small-scale mechanization. As new equipment is developed and put into production, both the quantitative and qualitative (type and structure) composition of the power equipment fleet and the set of agricultural machines for them change. The article deals with the installation for the preparation of liquid feed mixtures with the continuous introduction of components. This mode is one of the modes of any mixer.

Управление таможенными логистическими процедурами как система регулирования экспорта зерна государств-членов ЕАЭС

The largest subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex and the backbone of the domestic food market as a whole is grain farming. The efficiency of this sector of the economy determines the provision of the population with food, as well as the food security of the country. Grain production is the basis of export potential growth and competitive advantage in the world food market. The article presents the dynamics of changes in the gross harvest and export of grain by the EAEU countries, the impact of customs duties and state support on pricing in the grain subcomplex in the Russian Federation. The features of the damping mechanism of pricing in grain production and measures of customs and logistics regulation in the grain market of the Russian Federation are investigated.

СТАН ТА ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ РОЗВИТКУ ВІДЧИЗНЯНОГО РИНКУ КОМБІКОРМІВ ТА БІОЛОГІЧНИХ МІНЕРАЛЬНО-ВІТАМІННИХ ДОБАВОК

The article is dedicated to the study of the state and prospects of the market for compound feeds and biological mineral-vitamin supplements in Ukraine. The article provides statistical data on the production and consumption volumes of feeds and supplements on the domestic market up to 2022 and in 2022, particularly during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The authors analysed the factors affecting the demand for these products, such as the increase in animal populations, the expansion of animal husbandry scales, the development of production technologies, and more. The trends in the development of the market for compound feeds and supplements are also highlighted, including changes in demand for feeds and supplements for domestic animals, reasons for the decline or increase in demand for these products, trends in the coming years, and related products. The authors highlight the importance of developing national production of compound feeds and supplements, which will provide independence from imports, increase competitiveness, and improve product quality. An important factor that affected the demand for compound feed products, production, sales, and logistics of these products was the war. The article will investigate the impact of military operations on the activities of farms, agroholdings, and other institutions that purchased compound feeds, biological mineral-vitamin supplements, and other products in bulk and how this changed demand, among other things. In addition, it is worth noting the importance of establishing cooperation between feed producers and farmers. Producers must be ready to meet farmers' needs and understand their requirements, which will help maintain the competitiveness of the national market. The development of scientific research institutes that study technologies and develop new compound feeds and supplements is also essential. The article is an important source of information for professionals in the animal husbandry industry, producers of compound feeds and supplements, and those interested in the development of the domestic food market and national security.

Розвиток міжнародних торговельних відносин аграрного сектору економіки України в контексті євроінтеграції

The article examines modern trends in the development of international trade relations in the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy as one of the determining factors in the context of European integration. Peculiarities of Ukraine's participation in agricultural export-import operations are analyzed. It was emphasized that Ukraine is currently at the initial stage of entering the world agricultural markets, domestic food exports are dominated by raw materials or products with little added value, and the export of ready-made food products has not acquired significant volumes. It was determined that due to the agrarian sector of the economy, the food supply of the state, the national market and export potential are formed. It was noted that Ukraine's adherence to the principles and rules of conduct in international trade and other economic relations determined by international unions and organizations contributes to the development of foreign economic trade activities. There has been indicated the need to implement a number of measures to adapt the market environment, build regulatory mechanisms on harmonized institutional bases, for mutually beneficial integration of Ukraine and the EU. It has been studied that with the beginning of the Free Trade Zone with the European Union functioning, Ukraine ensures the approximation of the domestic agricultural sector to the market conditions of management, carries out adaptation to the Common Agrarian Policy of the EU. It has been proven that the dynamics of foreign trade in agricultural products of Ukraine with EU countries indicates a rapid and mutually beneficial strengthening of economic ties, reciprocal attractiveness of trade in food products. Studies show that the agricultural sector of Ukraine has demonstrated positive dynamics in the development of international trade in agricultural and food products in recent years. Emphasis is placed on creating more favorable conditions for the activation of foreign economic trade relations, which should become a strategic priority of the state.

АНАЛІЗ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ СИСТЕМИ НАССР, НА ПРИКЛАДІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА «CHICKEN HUT», ЯК ОДНОГО З ЕЛЕМЕНТІВ ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЇ

The article is devoted to the study of the implementation of the HACCP system at domestic food service enterprises, which has become relevant, especially in the context of Ukraine's integration into the European Union and its promotion to foreign production and service markets. After all, the problem of ensuring proper quality and safety of restaurant products, which is an important component of the secondary sector of the economy, which had acquired signs of promising growth in our country before the start of military aggression, has become acute. In order to integrate the HACCP system, an appropriate legislative framework has been developed which is aimed at establishing the requirements for the implementation of a food safety management system based on the HACCP principles, as well as the specifics of control and inspections which apply, in particular, to public relations related to the exercise of state control over the activities of market operators. The article analyzes the economic activities of the "Chicken HUT" restaurant chain in terms of implementation of the HACCP system. The authors emphasize that "Chicken HUT" is a chain of fast food restaurants which has been commercially successful in many cities of Ukraine. "Chicken HUT" confidently holds a leading position in its market segment, has a target audience and a proven concept. The authors of the article believe that "Chiken HUT" has built a fairly logical and effective scheme for providing its network with high-quality and safe components of a standardized menu, having removed the lion's share of the costs of creating an expensive production cycle from scratch and providing control and reporting systems. This is undoubtedly a big advantage for providing outlets with a proven and standardized set of ingredients. This allows to maintain a virtually uniform level of prices for products in the chain's outlets across Ukraine. In the context of the study, the authors of the article concluded that the company's success is due to the uniform standards for all restaurants of the "Chicken HUT" chain, and the food control and safety system (HACCP) implemented at "Chicken HUT" enterprises allows us to talk about product and consumer safety.

Регулирование рынка зерна: зерновой демпфер

Growth of grain exports is one of the priority tasks of the domestic agro-industrial complex. In recent years Russia has been consistently increasing production and supply of grain to the foreign market. Along with the growth of grain supplies to the external market there is a growing dependence of domestic prices on the rising prices of the world market. A number of measures have been taken to curb rising food prices in Russia. In particular, because of substantial growth of prices and necessity to stabilize food market on February 6, 2021 there was accepted the governmental decree 117 about export duties on grain. The article analyzes this Decree and the situation on the domestic grain market. The mechanism of the «grain dampener», its positive and negative impact on the domestic food market is considered. The conclusion is made that this tool needs to be improved and synchronized with other instruments of state regulation of the grain market. The relevant recommendations are given.

Strategic imperatives of institutionalization of the development of rural areas through the support of new type of agricultural formations

The article emphasizes the need for the transformation of agro-industrial production as one of the leading sectors of the national economy, which over a long period of development was able to reach such a level that it not only covers domestic food needs but also occupies a significant niche in the world markets. The current stage of Ukraine’s development will undoubtedly lead to the entry of our state into international political, social, military, and economic structures. Overcoming the negative impact of the factors of the development of agro-industrial production is possible through a deep reform of the institutional environment for the development of rural areas and agro-industrial production. The main imperatives of such a strategy should include the creation and ensuring the effective functioning of integrated agricultural formations of a new type in connection with the development of communities. It should lead to the expansion, rationalization, and mutual coordination of the range of economic, social, and ecological interests of the state, local authorities and self-government, producers of agricultural products, and the rural population. The current stage of the country’s socio-economic development is determined by the need for post-war modernization and recovery of all spheres of life in Ukrainian society, requiring the selection and purposeful research of the most relevant types of agro-industrial integration, which would ensure activation and improvement of the efficiency of integration processes, including cooperatives and clusters. The article emphasizes that the support of agro-industrial formations of a new type based on ensuring the mutually agreed interests of food producers and rural areas should be achieved due to the synergetic effect of agro-industrial integration, which will significantly increase the effectiveness of such interaction. The authors prove that the state’s efforts in the process of post-war reconstruction of the region should focus on the development, approval, active implementation, and support of the agricultural formations, the effectiveness of which will depend not only on the development of rural areas but also on the entire country as a whole.

Продовольча безпека в умовах «ідеального шторму» світової економіки

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022 and the ongoing war on Ukraine increased food security vulnerabilities around the world, creating new problems for the already volatile markets of the post-pandemic period. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of the «perfect storm» in the global economy on food security and identify directions for mitigating the emerging threats. It is proved that the existing food security crisis is caused by many factors, and there is also a need to restore global reserves. This process would be significantly accelerated if Ukraine were able to resume its role in the global food market. However, the war goes on, which continues to have a negative impact on production and generates uncertainty about food security. According to the results of the carried out analysis, it is determined that the interaction of international organizations in the field of food security and government agencies is a very important factor in solving issues of stabilizing the level of food security. Certainly, not all potential threats can be predicted if they are natural, geopolitical or of economic nature, but the interaction of FAO and similar organizations with analytical associations can contribute to a partial solution to this problem. It is substantiated that the transformation of the food sector should be inclusive, ensuring the active involvement of all its actors (for example, governments, international organizations, companies, farmers, etc.) in the development and implementation of targeted measures. In addition, this transformation is connected with the implementation of policies that reduce dependence on several exporting countries and replace corn and wheat with local crops, as well as the development of domestic food systems aimed at creating a network of short supply chains based on seasonal products. This will make it possible to mitigate the risks of food security in the global economy in the medium term.
