“…On the other hand, family labour cannot be reduced but it could become more productive and efficient with lower monitoring costs since farm family members are residual claimants on farm profits [80,84]. Participation in seminars that are related to farm management and access to new technology will lead to the improvement of farm management, as emphasized in the livestock and in other strategic sectors [3,85].…”

“…The goat farming industry is crucial to economic cohesion, especially for countries in the Mediterranean and Middle East regions, contributing to the family economy, to the social function of rural areas, to sustainable livelihoods and to the production of highquality products, due to the high contents of poly unsaturated fat, cardioprotective omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants in food products derived from goat [1][2][3][4][5]. Global goat milk production is 20 million (M) metric tons and goat meat production is 6.2 million (M) metric tons [6].…”

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Goat farming is an important production sector not only for Greece, but also for other Mediterranean countries, as it contributes to the family economy in rural areas. Despite the importance of goat farming, this sector has experienced economic difficulties due to poor management and increased production costs. The aim of our research is to determine goat farm profitability by surveying goat farmers for revenues, variable costs, and fixed costs of their farms. With the use of Principal Component Analysis, all economic factors contributing to overall production costs are examined, as well as their specific impacts on cost formulation. According to our results, goat farms in Greece are not profitable and they cannot survive without government subsidies. Farm economics and agricultural policies could be leveraged to improve community and environmental outcomes in order for farms to be economically and financially sustainable.

“…Bearing in mind the fact that the market of organic products is a dynamically developing market, it requires constant changes from market participants in order to adapt the distribution of organic products to consumer expectations. For example, Fiore et al (2020) mention about adjusting supply to demand, referring to the case of Polish dairy cooperatives introducing organic products to their offer, which requires also change across the entire supply chain (i.e. milk production so results in changes on farms).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe organic food supply and demand from the perspective of evolutionary economics. Furthermore, identification of motives of organic food purchasing as well as the most important distribution channels was performed.Design/methodology/approachThis study included review of statistical data available on organic food market, observations from three different formats of shops in France and Poland as well as collected data from 54 French and 85 Polish consumers.FindingsThe findings of this paper show how the organic food market undergoes evolutionary changes, especially how supply and demand sides are being tuned to each other. Health properties of organic food were found as universal characteristics affecting organic food purchasing, regardless the level of the national market development. Organic food retail adjusts to consumer demand, but the rate of this transformation is different when markets of different countries are compared.Originality/valueChanges in supply and demand are continuous in the organic food market; therefore, they should be monitored on an ongoing basis. The insights extend present knowledge on consumer behaviour indicating health concerns as a universal motive affecting organic food purchasing. The study also takes the existing literature a step further by providing additional insight into adjustment of organic food retail to consumer demand.

“…It is also significant that young consumers perceive themselves as the least responsible for food safety. And consumers are crucial in handling food-safety risks (Fiore et al, 2020;FAO, 2013). It may confirms the opinion of Jev snik et al ( 2008), who proved that there is a need to educate consumers about safe food handling from the point of purchase to the home as well as inside the home.…”

PurposeThe purpose of the research was to investigate how young consumers perceive food safety and if they trust that official food control agencies or other actors of food supply chains ensure a proper level of safety of food in Poland. The purpose of the paper was also to find out if young consumers are currently concerned that a proper level of food safety is not ensured.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis was based on a data set from 650 questionnaires collected in an online survey carried out in October 2020 and addressed to the group of young consumers, students of Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Poland. The analysis was carried out using standard methods of qualitative data analysis (QDA), descriptive statistics, Spearman’s correlation coefficient and Pearson’s chi-square test.FindingsLess than a half of Polish young consumers consider food to be safe and many other do not have an opinion about this matter. Young consumers do not perceive official agencies in charge of food control as the most responsible for food safety, and they either do not trust these institutions or have no opinion about it. Young consumers declare that food producers and food processing businesses are the most responsible for food safety while retailers and consumers are the least responsible ones. The majority of young consumers are not concerned about ensuring proper food safety.Originality/valueUp-to-date young consumers' perception of the role and trust in official food control agencies and food safety in Poland have not been investigated, which makes this study a novelty. The findings can be valuable to official agencies in charge of food control and consumer education, to improve their functioning. They can also be important as a basis for further studies, as young consumers’ attitudes and trust in official food control agencies can change.
