“…The same agri-food sector, in particular that related to the olive oil sector of the DOP Val di Mazara, would benefit with the use of these solutions, increasing their impact both nationally and internationally. Previous studies [1,13,14] have also highlighted that the non-recognition of the quality product by the consumer determines a nullification of the protection process [15,16].…”

“…This also enabled us to investigate the localness of the local food chain. Regarding the estimates of R3 about the payroll spent in local area and the other direct costs we use data and parameters suggested by LM3 methodology [21] and implemented by Arfini et al [22] in evaluating the trickle-down effect of the monetary flows within rural economies triggered by food quality schemes.…”

Economic Impact of Short Food Supply Chains: A Case Study in Parma (Italy)

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are advocated as strategies to improve the sustainability of the agro-food system. The recent literature claims that SFSCs are examples of social experimentation and innovation. By scaling up the positive elements of niche alternative food networks, SFSCs can serve as a basis for changing the overall agri-food system. However, their economic impact remains a matter of debate. Local multiplier methods have been used to measure the economic impact of economic sectors at a regional scale. In the case of SFSCs, multiplier methods need to be developed at a local scale and are highly data demanding. This analysis measures the local financial flow created by the MercaTiAmo project by applying the Local Multiplier 3 (LM3) method. MercaTiAmo is organized by a group of citizens and farmers and arranges farmers’ markets three days per week in the city of Parma (northern Italy). To measure the financial flow created by the initiative, data were collected from 10 farmers representing 70% of the farmers participating in the project. The method takes into account the total annual turnover (Round 1), the local expenses of the farmers (Round 2), and the local expenses of the farmers’ suppliers (Round 3). The results suggest that farmers with a higher turnover (Round 1) and percentage of direct expenses in the local area (Round 2) also show higher values of LM3, thus suggesting a higher economic impact, while Round 3 does not affect LM3. The novelty of the study relies on the fact that here the local multiplier method is applied for the first time at the farm level, providing precise information and data on farmers’ upstream supply chain, which can be used to inform policymakers and initiators of SFSCs. Moreover, the study provides a detailed description of the main categories of costs for farmers and which categories of costs are more suited to be locally based. For this reason, the study contributes to the debate on the economic impact of SFSCs in the local area. The method can also be used to provide information to consumers on the economic impact of alternative food networks and local food production.

“…The subject of analysis is the "Gioia del Colle" cow's milk mozzarella with PDO, produced in the province of Bari, BAT and Taranto, which was recognized as a product of protected origin in 2019. To our best knowledge, most of the research following up the value of the PDO quality mark is focused on the economic and innovation payoffs of the mark exploitation (Mancini and Consiglieri, 2016;Arfini et al, 2019), the consumers' perception of sustainability and its outcomes in terms of return on territorial assets, attracting tourism demand (Mancini et al, 2019) or assessing the socio-economic impact on rural areas (Raimondi et al, 2018). The novelty of the present study aims to stress on the perception of the added value of the PDO mark on the territory of belonging of the marked product, assessing the importance of the stakeholder engagement in the process of acquisition of the PDO marks.…”

PurposeThe present study focuses on the role of PDO certification in fostering the quality perception of certified-food consumers – highlighting the difference between quality brands and environmental labels. The case study of Mozzarella di Gioia del Colle DOP was taken into consideration to evaluate the opportunity of supporting a food product suitable for all families and promoting it worldwide through a quality certification.Design/methodology/approachThe authors made a qualitative analysis on local Apulian consumers and, for testing our hypotheses, structural equation models were applied to evaluate the effect of familiarity on the relationships between perceived risk, trust, satisfaction, loyalty, resolution to pay a higher price and intent to purchase a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certified food product.FindingsThe authors observed managerial implications which seek to improve the collaborative network between the subjects employed in the phases of the production process, the stakeholders and the consortia, in order to plan a holistic development territorial strategy. It is useful to start a process of knowledge and evaluation of the benefits of the quality mark in the territory of origin of the PDO food product.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors provided theoretical and managerial implications which aim at improving the collaborative network between the subjects employed in the phases of the production process, stakeholders and consortia, in the outlook of territorial development strategies.Originality/valueAccording to the analysis of the theoretical background, the opportunity to recognise the origin of a certain product allows the consumer to easily appreciate its intrinsic quality, relating a combination of factors to the territorial matching. It also focuses on the analysis of a different feedback at a local level from consumers, showing a lower intention to pay by consumers living in the same area where the PDO product comes from rather than other food goods.
