Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption: a cost-effectiveness analysis of public policies

Abstract: Our results suggest that (i) LYS are larger with VAT reduction than F&V stamps policies, (ii) information campaigns are the most cost-effective and (iii) market forces can limit the impacts of public health policies designed to favour F&V consumption increase.

“…Increases in fruit consumption and a reduction in take-away food consumption remained significant at six months, and small but sustained effects were noted on positive cooking attitudes, food knowledge and enjoyment of cooking; as well as improvements in meal behaviours such as eating at a table, and small gains in self-perceived health and self-esteem . Even these small dietary changes, such as an increase of just one portion of fruit or vegetables per day can bring meaningful reductions in CVD and mortality risk if sustained (Artinian et al, 2010;Dallongeville et al, 2011). Evidence reported on the wider benefits provide support for community-based cooking programmes on a number of fronts, but replication of these findings in other countries will provide stronger support .…”

“…Mas à proporção que aumentam a demanda por esses produtos e a participação deles na alimentação, é esperada uma redução nos preços 41,42 , o que resulta em um ciclo vicioso de ampliação de acesso e de demanda que favorece padrões alimentares essencialmente marcados pelo consumo de produtos ricos em sal, gorduras e açúcar e dificulta mudanças para um padrão regido por alimentos saudáveis, como as frutas e hortaliças 15,41,42 . Os resultados do presente estudo, somados à evidência da efetividade e custo/efetividade de medidas fiscais para favorecer a aquisição de alimentos benéficos à saúde, como é o caso das frutas e hortaliças, e reduzir a demanda por produtos não saudáveis como os refrigerantes 15,29,43,44,45 , indicam que a ausência de medidas de regulação de preços comprometerá cada vez mais o potencial impacto de intervenções de base comunitária dedicadas a aumentar o consumo de frutas e hortaliças.…”

“…Mesmo em cenários em que se tem experimentado uma melhoria na situação socioeconômica, nos quais em princípio se esperaria um aumento no consumo de frutas e hortaliças 11,43,46 , o aumento da renda familiar não tem resultado em aumentos expressivos no consumo ou disponibilidade intradomiciliar desses alimentos 43,45 . Em alguns casos, o aumento da renda desassociado de outras medidas pode até resultar em reduções no consumo de alimentos mais saudáveis e aumento no consumo de alimentos menos saudáveis.…”

“…The lower consumer price led to an increase in consumption, and the extent of the effect depended on the initial level of consumption and on the price demand elasticity, so low-income consumers benefited less. In contrast, vouchers increased consumption only on the targeted population (Dallongeville et al 2010).…”

“…Similarly, Slovakia reduced the VAT rate on books in order to increase the production and consumption of literature in the national language and so improve the overall educational level (Gesko 2013) while Sweden reduced their VAT to lower prices and promote readership, quality of books, and variety of content (CE 2007). Increasing equal access goods and services, particularly to lower income groups, is also an argument for a reduced VAT rate (Linklater 2014;Borselli et al 2012), though a VAT cut confers a greater (proportional) benefit on wealthier households because they consume more to begin with (Crossley et al 2009, p. 13;Blundell 2009;Dallongeville et al 2010;Hemels 2005).…”
