“…Our ndings demonstrate that nancial incentives are also effective in promoting fruit and vegetable purchases in mobile produce markets, which have the added bene t of improving access to healthy food in food deserts and among vulnerable populations. (13) In addition to main effects, we also observed that the difference in dollar sales was relatively higher in 2019 than 2018, suggesting that the impact of the incentive became more pronounced over time. During this period, FOTM made two programmatic changes that may have driven increased program engagement.…”

“…Mobile produce markets may improve food access among low-income adults living in senior sites and minority communities. (13) Our study shows that offering nancial incentives may also contribute to higher fruit and vegetable purchases among food-insecure adults who shop at mobile produce markets by making produce more affordable. Higher spending on fruits and vegetables may mitigate economic disparities in food insecurity, and thus chronic disease risk among minority and older adults receiving SNAP bene ts.…”

Background. Offering financial incentives promotes increases in fruit and vegetable purchases in farmers’ markets and supermarkets. Yet, little is understood about whether food-insecure adults purchase more fruits and vegetables as a result of receiving financial incentives in mobile produce market settings.Methods. In 2018-2019, Food on the Move provided a 50% discount to customers using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to purchase fruit and vegetables from 16 market locations in Rhode Island (n=412 market occasions). We used mixed multivariable linear regression to estimate the difference in total dollar sales per transaction per month between SNAP customers and non-SNAP customers. We also estimated the difference in out-of-pocket dollar sales per transaction per month between SNAP and non-SNAP customers, less the 50% discount. This reflects the actual amount spent on fresh fruits and vegetables purchased per visit. In both models, we controlled for the number of market sites per month, with fixed effects for quarter and year.Results. In 2018-2019, the majority of market transactions (n=13,165) were SNAP transactions [n=8,293 (66.0%)]. On average, customers spent $17.32 (SD=16.61) on fruits and vegetables per transaction per month. However, SNAP customers spent significantly more on FVs per transaction per month [$21.68 (SD=17.87)] compared to non-SNAP customers [$9.89 (SD=10.71)] (β=$10.54; 95% CI: 9.85, 11.23). Similarly, out-of-pocket dollar sales per transaction per month (i.e., less the 50% discount) were significantly higher among SNAP customers [$11.47 (SD=9.44)] relative to non-SNAP customers [$9.48 (SD=9.36)] (β=$1.86; 95% CI: 1.44, 2.27).Conclusions. Financial incentives contributed to higher fruit and vegetable purchases among low-income customers who shop at mobile produce markets compared to non-eligible customers. Higher spending on fruits and vegetables may promote healthy diet behaviors and reduce chronic disease risk among food-insecure adults.

“…As for dietary intake, the previously referenced systematic review of mobile produce vending assessed vending’s association with produce consumption. 54 The review revealed mostly direct correlations with consumption of fruit and/or vegetables, however findings were not entirely consistent. For the review, there were only a small number of published studies and all had methodological limitations (e.g., observational designs, selection bias, lack of control groups).…”

“…Mobile vendors, specifically those selling fresh produce, were the subject of a recent systematic review. 54 In the review, authors considered aspects of vending related to all five access dimensions: availability (produce selection), accessibility (selling locations), affordability (item prices), acceptability (perceived quality), and accommodation (e.g., methods of payment). Optimal access within each dimension was not found (or, indeed, even assessed) in all studies.…”

“…Hollinger and Staatz (2015) showed that there is a growing need for convenience foods; there is less time to buy and prepare foods [19]. In the United States research has shown that mobile produce markets emerged as a strategy to improve vegetable access and consumption among lower-income consumers (food supply chain and enabling environment) [52]. The results of the study indicate that also in urban Nigeria such an intervention might possibly increase accessibility and consumption of vegetables.…”

Drivers of Vegetable Consumption in Urban Nigeria: Food Choice Motives, Knowledge, and Self-Efficacy

et al. 2018

Objective: This study aimed to provide insights into vegetable consumption behavior of urban Nigerian consumers across different Socio-Economic Classes (SEC), their main food choice motives, and the associations of these motives and other drivers with vegetable consumption. Methods: An online survey was conducted in which 1220 women from Lagos (N = 808) and Ibadan (N = 412) metropolis from different SEC participated. Results: On average, respondents reported to consume 2.6 portions of vegetables per day. Most vegetables were bought at open and traditional markets, were bought fresh rather than processed, and were consumed cooked. Respondents from the second richest and upper middle SEC consumed most vegetables () and higher SEC consumed a larger variety of vegetables compared to those from lower classes. Respondents who reported to have a higher knowledge of vegetable consumption, had a higher belief in one’s own ability to prepare vegetables (self-efficacy), and those that valued the food motive Mood and Health more, reported a higher vegetable intake. Conclusions: Vegetable consumption in the studied cities in Nigeria was below recommendations. Increasing knowledge and self-efficacy might be a way to increase consumption, especially in combination with interventions in the food environment and product design focused on the motives Health and Mood, and considering the importance of differences between SEC.
