Book Marketing Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Download or read book Marketing Fresh Fruits and Vegetables written by Richard B. How and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has evolved out of experience gained during 15 years of teaching a course on fruit and vegetable marketing to Cornell University undergrad uates. Initially it was difficult to assemble written material that would intro duce the students to the industry and provide examples to illustrate market ing principles. Apart from a few major studies like the U. S. Department of Agriculture's survey of wholesale markets that came out in 1964 or the re port of the National Commission on Food Marketing published in 1966 there was little research to turn to in the early 1970s. Trade association meetings, trade papers, and personal contacts with members of the industry were the major sources of information. It became necessary to collect infor mation from many different sources to fill the need for a descriptive base. Now there are many good research reports and articles being published on various phases of the industry. There still remains a pressing need, however, to consolidate and interpret this information so that it provides an under standing of the total system and its various parts. Fresh fruit and vegetable marketing is different in many respects from the marketing of other agricultural and nonagricultural products. Hundreds of individual commodities comprise the total group. Each product has its own special requirements for growing and handling, with its own quality attributes, merchandising methods, and standards of consumer acceptance.

Book Assessing Consumer Perceptions of Food Cooperatives in the U S in Order to Improve Food Cooperatives Marketing Strategies

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dating back to the early 1800s, cooperatives are organizations that are democratically owned and controlled by their members. They exist in all sectors of the economy, such as in agriculture, manufacturing, financial services, housing, healthcare, and utilities ("What is a Coop?" n.d.). As alternatives to investor-owned corporations, co-ops are locally owned by individuals in their community and serve the needs of their members rather than providing profit to outside investors (Hazen, 2010). The retail food cooperatives that today provide natural, organic, and local foods to consumers across the country are consumer cooperatives and are owned by their members who shop in the store (Hazen, 2010). This iteration of the retail food cooperative sprang up during the 1960s and 1970s, in response to the environmental, political, and social concerns of the counterculture movement (Knupfer, 2013). Due to the increased consumer interest in organic and natural foods, today's food co-ops face competition from supermarkets, discount stores, and national chains such as Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's, which now carry many of the products in which co-ops specialize (Haedicke, 2014). This competition puts the survival of co-ops in jeopardy, calling for greater insight into this phenomenon to keep food co-ops afloat. Food co-ops play a vital role in their local communities and economies - in a way that mainstream retailers selling organic foods cannot. To remain viable, it is therefore important for food co-ops to understand the current consumer perceptions in order to develop better marketing techniques that can help keep existing shoppers and engage new ones. ..." -- from introduction.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thougtit that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 31 (thesis year 1986) a total of 11 ,480 theses titles trom 24 Canadian and 182 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base tor these titles reported will greatly enhance the value ot this important annual reterence work. While Volume 31 reports theses submitted in 1986, on occasion, certain univer sities do re port theses submitted in previousyears but not reported at the time.
