The review of literature clearly indicates that the main motivations of the Spanish consumer to buy organic food are Health, Taste and Quality; also reveals that the main barriers are related to Price and Availability. The organic Store Brand appears as an opportunity for retailers to overcome those barriers, the price gap and the lack of availability. This study investigates the role of Store Brands in the development of the organic food product category. The authors provide a comprehensive picture of the current status in the Spanish distribution channels and review some PL strategies for the retailers to develop the category in different marketing areas such as branding, labelling, pricing, merchandising and promotion.

The two horrible conditions ahead of time than the organizers worldwide are to diminish the stack at the conventional fills and to reduce the continually developing basic spoiling. This test is proposed to discover probably the execution of the DI diesel motor at various loads when fuelled with mixes of palm methyl esters and diesel. The primers have been pushed on a completely utilized diesel motor without changes. Every one of the appraisals were consistent usa of america and outfitted toward dependable pace. The impact of moving weight develop to be assessed the volume that brake warm temperature ability, mass flow rate, brake one of a kind gas use and fumes gas temperature. Exploratory impacts show that at complete weight conditions, the B-20, B-40and B-60 mixes bring 33.23%, 32.81%, 32.39% and 31.ninety seven% higher brake heat usefulness than sole diesel freely. It wound up confirmed that the brake warmth ability of palm biodiesel is higher than that of diesel, and it is a delayed consequence of the oxygenated atom of biodiesel which acknowledges total ingesting of the biodiesel fuel. In addition the mass development rate of biodiesel is evidently superior to anything that of diesel fuel; it is through method for exact capacity of the calorific estimation of biodiesel is a ton parcels less appeared in one another way as far as diesel gas. At the reason for results obtained from this test utilizing palm biodiesel as a fuel is proposed for the utilized as a piece of a diesel motor with diesel mixes

Organic Produce

Organic products are often portrayed as a healthy alternative—grown in a sustainable way, often locally and subject to external certification scrutiny. However, recent high-profile cases of contaminated organic food have raised questions about the risks associated with organic produce: is organic produce becoming less safe and more risky? The context for this investigation is in the realm of food product recalls. Based on 2010–2017 panel data from the US on food product recalls (with 2721 observations), this paper compares the volume of recalls (adjusted for the growth of sales) between conventional and organic food. This paper further addresses two food-related risks: design risk (a risk that is present in the development of food; such as the use of unapproved ingredients or the omission of some ingredients on the food label) and process risk (a risk within the supply chain, such as the contamination of food products with salmonella or E. coli). Further comparison is drawn based on food product type (here the paper distinguishes between processed and unprocessed food). The paper demonstrates that organic products are becoming less safe and that organic products are recalled at a higher rate. In comparison to conventional produce, organic produce is more prone to process risk and far less to design risk. Similar conclusions are reached even when the organic produce is analysed from a product type perspective.

Scientific Analysis

This paper is a study of how to improve the organic product distribution system by applying value co-creation process in the distribution ecosystem by implementing knowledge management into all stakeholders in the distribution ecosystem. The paper will improve the existing organic food product distribution business model and the proposed business model with the implementation of knowledge management to accommodate the value co-creation among stakeholders. The reason why value co-creation among stakeholders needs to be improved is because currently organic food producers focus only on selling their products without having proper knowledge about their customers, while customers do not have enough awareness about organic food’s benefit. Because of this gap, this research tries to find the solution by improving the organic product distribution system through the application of value co-creation process. This paper will use qualitative research method as the main method to collect data and scientific analysis for achieving the goals which will be proposed and related to the research objectives as explained before.
