No full textThe existence of buyer power in the Italian fresh milk supply chain
No full textBuyer power can be defined as the ability to obtain trade terms more favorable than a supplier's normal trade terms. This study is aimed to estimate existence of buyer power in the Italian market of fresh milk. The sector is characterized by high industrial and retail firms concentration and a significant gap between the downstream and upstream prices exists.
We applied the “first-pass” test proposed by Lloyd et al. (2009) on a set of monthly price indexes series from 2000 to 2013 in order to estimate if a buyer power exists in this sector. This in order to verify how prices are transmitted along the supply chain and to determine if buyer power contributes in conditioning the retail-producer price spread.
Estimated results suggest that buyer power exists in the Italian fresh milk supply chain and oligopsonistic behavior affects the spread between downstream and upstream prices.
The paper gives a contribute on estimation of buyer power in the agro-food supply chains.However, more research needs to be carried out in order to precisely evaluate the nature and the causes of presence of buyer power

No full textAn Analysis of Sustainability Policies in European Agriculture in the Long Term: Methods and Materials Using the FEEM Indicators
No full textThis article aims to analyze how sustainability in European agriculture might evolve in the long run, depending on which different policy scenarios are used. Particular attention is paid to the role played by the new challenges, which are the policy aims of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) after 2013: climate change; safeguarding biodiversity; rational use of water resources and promotion of bio-energy. The conceptual framework is the new set of indicators on sustainability evaluation proposed by the Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei. No empirical findings have been carried out in this research. This study is aimed at highlighting the possible relationships between the challenges that the CAP faces if it is to guarantee sustainability in the sector and to evaluate how the promotion of these policy priorities can affect sustainability. The results of this qualitative analysis show the possible contradictions between the CAP objectives if harmonic and sustainable agricultural development is to be achieved

No full textAgritourism, farm income differentiation, and rural development: The case of the region of montiferru (italy)
No full textThe faster increasing of agritourism in the European countries leads to thinking this form of farm diversification as a valid instrument to enhance the rural areas. Numerous personal and social motivations lead the choice of starting an agritourism. However, the agritourism should be understood as firm and must be able to be profitable in the long-term and pay the work of the farmer and his family. This is the necessary condition to allow agritourism contributing to rural development and enable farmers to enjoy their rural lifestyle. Using Serpieri’s model (1950), the paper aims to assess the ability of agritourism activities to improve the income of multifunctional farms operating in a rural area of Sardinia (Italy). This research contributes to the debate on agritourism role and aims, outlines the implications for practitioners, academics and policymakers, and makes recommendations for future research
