“…The reason could be those two countries export fresh apples through the entire year, focusing on the first two quarters, whereas Chile exports only in the second and third quarters (Giacinti, 2016). This finding concurs with Luckstead, Devadoss, and Mittelhammer (2014) who found that the United States and China are competitors in ASEAN countries. Conditional cross-price elasticities between China and South Africa in the fresh pear market are statistically significant and positive, which means that the two countries compete in this market.…”

“…Overall, demand for imported fresh apples would increase by 24%. This coincides with findings by Luckstead, Devadoss, and Mittelhammer (2014) in that tariff elimination would favor U.S. apple producers, and U.S. apple exports would displace Chinese apple exports to India.…”

“…Because China is a major U.S. competitor in the fresh apple export market, Luckstead, Devadoss, and Mittelhammer (2014) analyzed the apple export competition between the United States and China in the ASEAN countries. They developed a trade model under imperfect competition and found that eliminating Chinese tariffs would contract U.S. exports to ASEAN countries, but complete free trade would favor U.S. apple producers, as U.S. apple exports would displace Chinese apple exports.…”

We estimated the impact of the Indian tariff on the demand for imported fresh apples from theUnited States. A 1% decrease in the tariff would increase the quantities demanded by 3.83%. If India eliminates the tariff on all imported fresh apples, total consumer welfare in terms of the imported fresh apple market will increase by $120 million yearly, 57% of the value of all fresh apples imported by India in 2015. This study adds evidence on the effects of tariff reduction on trade volume and welfare of consumers in the importing country.

“…The Asian market, including countries such as China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and India, is becoming a promising apple export destination for European, American and Australasian apple producers. However, these markets set high quality standards and require constant product innovation [18,[20][21][22][23][24].…”

Fruit Sector Strategic Management: An Exploration of Agro-food Chain Actors’ Perception of Market Sustainability of Apple Innovation

The fresh fruit industry is a highly dynamic sector in the food market. Fresh fruit chain actors have to adapt to the changing market environment in order to face upcoming challenges. The objective of this study is to analyze the market sustainability of red-fleshed apples (RFA) by exploring consumers’ and fresh fruit industry experts’ and stakeholders’ opinions in Italy and New Zealand. The study was carried out in Italy and New Zealand from December 2018 to June 2019 including 778 consumers and 29 expert and stakeholder interviews. Results show a promising market potential of RFA. Innovative attributes and nutritional value of RFA are the most important factors that push consumers’ interest and willingness to buy RFA. New Zealand consumers and women show a higher appreciation of RFA. The nutritional value of the fruit can be a strategic marketing management attribute especially for health-conscious consumers. However, experts think the market for RFA will develop slowly, and will remain a niche product. Some stakeholders are skeptical about consumer RFA appreciation, and fear that RFA are too radical a novelty on the market. The RFA may be perceived as not natural. There is the need to coordinate food chain stakeholders’ management practices on RFA. This allows to mitigate risks, set food standards acceptable for all chain stakeholders, and make sustainable economic investment on innovation.

“…Few studies have examined imperfect competition under trade protection and expansionary policies in agricultural commodity markets. Luckstead, Devadoss, and Mittelhammer (2014a) analyzed imperfect competition between U.S. and Chinese apple exports to ASEAN using homogenous products and strategic trade theory. Luckstead, Devadoss, and Mittelhammer (2015) have also applied strategic trade theory to study the U.S. and Brazil orange juice markets.…”

Abstract. Because of high competition from Chinese apple juice processors, the United States imposed an antidumping duty on apple juice imports from China to protect the domestic processors. This trade policy benefited U.S. processors but negatively impacted Chinese processors as well as consumers in the United States. Because of the economic reforms, foreign direct investment, and technological spillover, Chinese apple processors have increased their productivity. Under oligopolistic competition with endogenous firm entry and exit, this article analyzes how the changes in U.S. tariff policy and Chinese productivity impact the market structure in the United States and China, as well as prices, quantities, and U.S. and Chinese welfare. Trade liberalization and an increase in Chinese productivity help U.S. consumers and Chinese processors. However, U.S. tariff removal adversely affects U.S. apple juice processors.
