“…Furthermore, we found, as expected, a significant and negative impact of sales Promotion on prices (-18.5%). Results agree with those outlined by Bronnmann & Hoffmann (2018) and by Zhang et al (2018).…”

“…It is well established that consumers perceive home country-of-origin as being of higher quality than foreign ones (Verlegh & Steenkamp, 1999). This is consistent with findings outcome by Loke et al (2015) and Zhang et al (2018). Moreover, Tempesta & Vecchiato (2013), conducting a choice experiment with the aim to investigate the willingness to pay (wtp) a premium price for milk (considering origin, area of production and rearing method) found that people living in the northern of Italy tend to prefer milk produced in north-centre Italy, properly because of the affective and the cognitive components that affect the preferences for home country-of-origin products.…”

The regulation 1169/2011, which aims to protect the consumers in relation to food information, stresses the fact that the country of origin is become a key attribute for consumers in their purchasing decision. In 2014, the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies, with the Decree of 9 December 2016 - based on art. 26 of Reg. 1169/2011 – introduced the obligation of labelling the country origin of milk used in all dairy products and therefore for the first time for uht milk. In this context, the aim of the study is to evaluate the price premium of different quality attributes on uht milk sold in Italy, with particular regard to the country of origin of milk.From the analysis, it emerges that Italian origin of milk has a significant and positive effect on price, together with the type of retailer (i.e. hypermarket), notorious brands, plastic packaging, high and middle placement on the shelves, organic attribute and the enrichment with omega 3, phosphorus or fibre.

Every year, the Italian National Health Service (NHS) provides about 200,000 celiac people (based on 2017 data) living in Italy with financial support of about 250 million euro to cover the cost of their specific dietary constrains. The existence of gluten-free products of high quality and affordable price is very important for the quality of life of celiac people and the sustainability of public support. Over the last decade, the market for gluten-free products has experienced a dramatic surge, with an increasing shelf space dedicated to these products in supermarkets, and a large variety of products both in terms of kind of agricultural inputs and processing and packaging methods. This study aimed at assessing the offer of gluten-free (GF) pasta in Italian supermarkets, with respect to its ability to meet the needs of celiac people in terms of variety, prices and safety. A hedonic price analysis was performed. Results indicated that GF pasta is sold only in 44% of the 212 stores of the sample, with a price equal to more than twice that of conventional pasta. A premium price was found for the following attributes: small packages, brands specialized in GF products, content in fiber and the presence of quinoa as ingredient.

“…In addition, country-of-origin labeling is mandatory in many countries (Asche, Larsen, Smith, Sogn-Grundvåg, & Young, 2015). Studies have found price premiums of 10-25% for ecolabels on products of Alaska pollock, Atlantic cod, haddock, and salmon in the UK (Asche et al, 2015;Roheim, Asche, & Santos, 2011;Sogn-Grundvåg, Larsen, & Young, 2013Zhang, Sogn-Grundvåg, Asche, & Young, 2018). A number of studies show similar premiums or a positive willingness to pay for ecolabeled seafood in other markets, although the results are more mixed with respect to country-of-origin labeling (Asche & Bronnmann, 2017;Br ecard, Hlaimi, Lucas, Perraudeau, & Salladarr e, 2009;Fonner & Sylvia, 2015;Garlock, Nguyen, Anderson, & Musumba, 2020;Uchida, Onozaka, Morita, & Managi, 2014;Wakamatsu, Anderson, Uchida, & Roheim, 2017).…”

In recent years, the number of ecolabels and country-of-origin labels has grown substantially in seafood markets globally. This makes it more difficult for retailers and producers to communicate and demonstrate their differentiating claims to consumers. In addition, it has recently been suggested that there are both costs and supply chain benefits associated with labeling. This paper uses duration analysis to investigate factors that influence product longevity for salmon in grocery retailing. Product longevity influences cost as a prolonged product lifetime reduces costs related to product development and marketing. As has been found for wild-caught whitefish, different retail chains appear to vary in their product labeling strategies. However, in contrast to wild fish, farmed salmon with ecolabels or domestic country-of-origin labels appear to have shorter product life cycles compared to products without ecolabels or with foreign country-of-origin labeling. This is most likely due to the higher control of the production process found in aquaculture.
