A system-wide approach to import demand for US fresh oranges

Article Abstract:

The fresh orange market share and competitiveness of the US and other orange-exporting countries were examined. The major markets studied were the EC, Singapore, Japan, Canada and Hong Kong. An economic model was used to study US orange export potentials, assuming that free market forces exist. Analysis of income elasticity showed that demand for US oranges will increase, particularly in Singapore and Canada. Analysis also showed that an inverse relation exist between US orange prices and demand. The study also showed that Morroco's and Spain's market shares will grow as orange import demand in the EC increases.

Industry note: the completion of the Internal European Market and strategies of agribusiness firms

Article Abstract:

The EC's Internal will be completed on Dec 31, 1992 and agribusiness companies in and out of Europe must plan for it. A survey shows that European companies will most likely react to the changes via restructuring and development of cooperation, mergers and takeover tactics. Meanwhile, cost leadership and product/service differentiation are options given for agribusiness firms to move ahead of competition. The effects of internal market establishment on several industries and the market entry of non-European agribusiness companies are analyzed. The internal market legislative program is also presented.

Assessing the impact of the Canada-US Trade Agreement on food processing in Canada: an analytical framework and results for poultry, dairy, and tomatoes

Article Abstract:

An analytical model was devised to evaluate the effects of the Canada-US Trade Agreement on costs and processing margins of Canada's food processing sector. Results show that chicken processors are most likely to suffer a reduction in margins, while tomato processors will be least affected by tariff reduction. Dairy processors would be more cost competitive as a result of positive net margins. Results also indicate that Canadian food processors need to reduce processing costs to maintain competitiveness with the US.
