Acreage stability and resource allocation before and after the implementation of a marketing order

Article Abstract:

The effects of a marketing order with volume control provisions on the stability of acres planted and resource allocation in the Florida celery market are examined. Before the marketing order, producers based their average adjustment and resource allocation decisions on the previous relative prices for fresh vegetables and the Florida celery price, lagged California quantity and lagged Florida celery acreage. After the marketing order controls, the price ratio had less impact and an improvement was noted in acreage adjustment.

Analyzing Greenhouse firm performance across different marketing channels

Article Abstract:

The performance measures in the vegetable supply chain were evaluated in two stages, the data envelopment analysis and a truncated regression model. The results suggested that that growers who sell their products through auctions are less efficient and that variables such as firm size, age, ownership structure, and distribution channel strategy significantly contribute to the technical efficiency of the growers, while the variables firm location, firm size and firm age affect their scale.
