The U.S

Previous studies analyzing the U.S. food industry have used national data and/or have focused on a particular sector of the industry. However, regional differences in resource endowments, income opportunities and population distribution imply that the impact of changing economic environment will not be the same for all regions. A farm to retail multiproduct sectoral model for the Northeast food industry is developed and estimated. This regional approach is used to analyze the effects of changes in exogenous variables on the Northeast region's food production and consumption. Empirical results are presented in terms of intrasectoral flexibilities and elasticities. Selected results from other regions are also presented and compared with the Northeast results.

Agro-industries should adopt effective strategies to use agrochemicals such as glyphosate herbicides cautiously in order to protect public health. This entails careful testing and risk assessment of available choices, and also educating farmers and users with mitigation strategies in ecosystem protection and sustainable development. The key to success in this endeavour is using scientific research on biological pest control, organic farming and regulatory control, etc., for new developments in food production and safety, and for environmental protection. Education and research is of paramount importance for food and nutrition security in the shadow of climate change, and their consequences in food production and consumption safety and sustainability. This review, therefore, diagnoses on the use of glyphosate and the associated development of glyphosate-resistant weeds. It also deals with the risk assessment on human health of glyphosate formulations through environment and dietary exposures based on the impact of glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA—(aminomethyl)phosphonic acid—on water and food. All this to setup further conclusions and recommendations on the regulated use of glyphosate and how to mitigate the adverse effects.

The Impact

The article discusses the problem of the reducing life quality of Russians in the new conditions of the market economy. The Russian phenomenon of the use of “palm oil” as a priority raw material in food production is analyzed against the decrease in its use in the EU countriesand against the expansion of the daily diet of the Chinese due to increased dairy food consumption. Opposing points of view of key industry associations (the Dairy Union of Russia and the Fat and Oil Union of Russia) have been identified and are presented in the context of palm oil use in dairy food production. The results of a statistical study of the demand for palm oil from Russian importers against the background of an increase in the value-added tax rate from 10 to 20% in October 2019 are presented. The data of customs statistics on palm oil imports were analyzed in the context of countries of origin, nine codes of the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity, months and years within the five-year period of 2016–2020, as well as in the context of the importing regions of Russia. The results of statistical processing of data by the Federal Customs Service revealed no effect of the sharp increase in the VAT rate on the volume of palm oil imports. The analysis of foreign statistics revealed a significant presence of actors in the chemical industry among transnational companies that are the largest consumers of palm oil. The model of entrepreneurial behavior based on consumption in palm oil production, formed and widely spread in the Russian food industry market, is criticized. 98% of palm oil and its fractions imported into Russia goes to the needs of food industry enterprises, and the authors consider that the foreign ownership of these enterprises plays an important role. In the authors’ opinion, in many respects, the latter fact determined our country’s ranking first in the food chemistry sector in the distribution of published patent applications by technology field for the top 10 origins in 2014–2016. In this respect, Russia is far ahead of China, the USA, Japan, South Korea, Germany, the UK,France, and Switzerland. In China, systematic research is being carried out on the ratio of palm oil use in the food (primarily, instant noodles, other fast food) and non-food (chemical industry, including cosmetics production) sectors.

Purpose Managing the risks associated to world food production is an important challenge for governments. A range of factors, among them extreme weather events, has threatened food production in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of extreme rainfall events on the food industry in Brazil, a prominent player in this industry. Design/methodology/approach The authors use the AR-GARCH-GPD hybrid methodology to identify whether extreme rainfall affects the stock price of food companies. To do so, the authors collected the daily closing price of the 16 food industry companies listed on the Brazilian stock exchange (B3), in January 2015. Findings The results indicate that these events have a significant impact on stock returns: on more than half of the days immediately following the heavy rain that fell between 28 February 2005 and 30 December 2014, returns were significantly low, leading to average daily losses of 1.97 per cent. These results point to the relevance of the need for instruments to hedge against weather risk, particularly in the food industry. Originality/value Given that extreme weather events have been occurring more and more frequently, financial literature has documented attempts at assessing the economic impacts of weather changes. There is little research, however, into assessing the impacts of these events at corporate level.

The Impact

In this paper the performance of the food and beverage industry in six regions of Canada between 1961 and 1984 is examined. The impact of spatial variations in commodity prices and techniques of production on the rate of profit are separated. Significant regional disparities in both production and market performance exist within the food sector and lend little support to the industry-mix thesis. Price variations are the principal cause of regional differences in manufacturing profitability. The rate of profit in the food industry declined in all regions, though at a slower rate than in manufacturing as a whole.

Abstract In the current period, more and more economic agents involved in producing and trading food are tempted to avoid certain standards of safety and innocuousness of agricultural and technological processes in order to maximize profit. There are often situations in which food producers with the will of a quick return do not realize or do not measure the adverse effects that may arise on life, health, environment and thus on sustainable development. This paper tries to determine the degree of compliance with safety rules imposed by manufacturers in the food industry but also the factors that may cause the consumer purchasing decision in the context of uncertainty about the harmlessness of food. The food correctly and environmentally made, stored, transported and traded contributes to a sustainable development, aspect that will be the subject of our study.

The aim of the article is the economic evaluation of the effects of food safety policy in the light of the Austrian school of economics theories. Food safety policy imposes stringent requirements for food production and consumption, what deprives the food of natural character. This kind of policy ignores the diversified consumers needs. Sanitary, veterinary and technical requirements limit the possibilities of the food production by fragmented farms. The function of food producers takes concentrated food industry. The transfer of added value from agriculture to industry and commerce occurs.

The article investigates modern trends in the development of the food industry and the production and consumption of bread, bread products in Ukraine. It is determined that the population is gradually decreasing, as well as the aging processes of the nation are taking place, which will subsequently lead to a decrease in productivity. Since the number of people who will have the ability to perform work qualitatively is significantly reduced compared to the present time. So, to create a basis for people to qualitatively continue all processes related to the creation, production of goods and services is possible due to favorable living conditions. It is noted that nutrition is one of the most important factors in ensuring and improving public health. It is analyzed according to statistics that citizens of Ukraine do not receive a significant amount of necessary food for the normal life support of their own activities. At the same time, food industry trends in food supply to domestic consumers were studied. It was found that in recent years the tendencies to increase grain production prevailed, a high level of export orientation of this production was formed, while the consumption of bread and bread products gradually decreases. It is noted that in Ukraine the consumption of bread and other food is insufficient, and a significant amount of necessary food is not received for the normal life support of its own activities. Attention is paid to the viability of food production enterprises due to the use of production factors. Ways of intensification of strategic vectors of viability of enterprises in order to ensure high-quality domestic demand, increase of innovation and investment activity in the industry are proposed. production of complex modernization of food production aimed at intensification of reproducilic processes, control over the quality and safety of food products on the basis of methods of the quality management system according to the international standard series, systems of environmental management of food production, development and implementation of effective mechanisms for increasing the competitiveness of products.

Political Objective

Abstract It is a general socio-political objective of the mid- and long term food industry development strategy of Hungary to promote healthy food production and consumption. The realization of the strategy of the domestic food industry increasingly promotes healthy eating, for example consuming natural, domestic, fresh ingredients, prepared foods, in order to improve the overall health of the population (EFS, 2014-2020). Our study presents the regional tendencies of staple food consumption in Hungarian regions and the changes in indicators reflecting the health status of the population. Furthermore, our hypothesis states that there is a statistically provable correlation between the annual food consumption of Hungarian households per capita and the health status, on regional level.
