“…As the first of such policy measures, the Turkish government has recently started providing free daily milk to all primary and secondary school children—over seven million across the country. Although there have been a growing number of studies (Akbay et al., ; Günden et al., ; Şengül and Tuncer, ; Tekgüç, ) on nutritional status and dietary patterns in Turkey in recent years, there remains a dearth of research on how differential patterns in the nutritional status and diet exist between rural and urban regions. In this context, we investigate the most predominantly consumed meat and dairy products such as bovine, mutton, poultry, giblets, fish as meat products, milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, fats and oils, and dairy products and along with a very aggregated product, cereals (bread, rice, dough, and other grains), which are all viewed as rich in nutritional value, to compare the differential consumption patterns between rural and urban households.…”

We extend the Tobit (censored) linear equation system procedure to utility-theoretic demand functions, along with a mapping mechanism to impose the adding-up restriction implied by consumer utility maximization theory-a theoretical restriction very often ignored in previous empirical studies with censored demand systems. In this context, the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure is applied to the censored linear approximate almost ideal demand system (LAIDS) for 12 food products, using data from the Turkish Household Expenditure Survey. All own-price elasticities are negative and expenditure elasticities positive. Uncompensated own-price elasticities for rural households are generally much higher than those for their urban peers, though demand for most food products are own-price elastic for both types of households. The differential patterns in demand elasticities between urban and rural households become even more evident (almost twice) as relatively more expensive foodstuffs are consumed, showing that accessibilities to alternative products have made rural Turkish households more cognizant toward price changes in foods. Household characteristics play a key role in food expenditures, notably so in urban areas, and regional and seasonal differences are also present.JEL classifications: C11, C34, D12, Q12

“…The milk is collected by wholesalers, street milk sellers, and village milk collectors such as local cooperatives and producer organizations [8]. Respective shares of milk processing plants in total milk consumption of Turkey are 27% modern dairy factories, 33% for medium sized establishments and dairies, 20% for uncontrolled producers, and 20% for producers' self consumption [5].…”

“…The direct sales performed by street milk sellers are important problems in Turkey because they produce or buy milk from farmers in uncooled, unprocessed, and unpacked form resulting in unhygienic fluid milk and pathogenic organism above tolerable limits. This raw milk which is produced without any control sells to potential consumers living in urban areas [8].…”

This paper focused on the effects of some sociodemographic factors on the decision of the consumer to purchase packed or unpacked fluid milk in Sivas, Turkey. The data were collected from 300 consumers by using face-to-face survey technique. The sample size was determined using the possibility-sampling method. Probit model has been used to analyze the socioeconomic factors affecting milk consumption of households. Four estimators (household size, income, milk preferences reason, and milk price) in the probit model were found statistically significant. According to empirical results, consumers with lower household size and higher income levels tend to consume packed milk consumption. Our study findings suggest that consumers who were sensitive to price were less likely to consume packed milk and believe that packed milk price is expensive compared to unpacked milk price. Also, milk price was effective factor concerning packed and unpacked milk consumption behavior. The majority of consumers read the contents of packed fluid milk and are affected by safety food in their shopping preferences.

“…In parallel to this, Turkey has a vivid dairy industry, which aimed at essentially growing urban consumer markets (Bor, 2014;Terin, Bilgiç, Güler & Yavuz, 2014). Milk is considered as a strategically important commodity in Turkey (Günden, Bilgic, Miran & Karli 2011). Due to economies of scale in this growing market, Turkish dairy processing firms continue to be profitable (Tekgüç, 2013).…”

Consumer Perceptions towards Dairy Products: Effects of Mass Media

Using the information from mass media, consumers develop their perceptions towards dairy products. This article examines how these perceptions are developed. Based on a mixed design, our research has three consecutive data collection phases. The first phase is a quantitative content analysis of four major Turkish newspapers, three popular Turkish television health shows and Turkish internet content on dairy products. Second phase is designed to collect qualitative data from three focus groups in order to reveal what kinds of perceptions are developed about milk, cheese and yogurt and how the consumers verbally express them. Findings from these two phases are used to develop a questionnaire, which is applied to a sample of 733 urban consumers, for the quantitative measurement of these perceptions. Findings reveal that mass media disseminates huge amount of information to which consumers are exposed. Consumers admit that their decisions were usually affected by such information. Survey results showed that dairy consumers tend to trust more in the positive claims than the negative ones. Consumers mostly develop perceptions regardless of their socio-demographic differences due to the mainstreaming effect of mass media. However, a cluster analysis showed that younger, more educated, wealthier and regular diary consumers have lower levels of negative perceptions about milk, cheese and yogurt. On the other hand, consumers with more trust in media and readiness to share media information have higher levels of positive perceptions about milk and yogurt.
