“…The negative sign suggests that a 1% increase in GDP could result in about a 1.59% decrease in the quantity of imported sago starch. This result is similar to a study in Malaysia where economic growth has a negative relationship with imports (Sulaiman and Saad 2009) but contrary to the result of Hyuha et al (2017). The situation where income increases, but demand decreases could happen when the good is inferior.…”

“…A double-logarithmic linear function is applied for modeling and determine the demand functions in this paper. Several studies revealed that a double-logarithmic linear function was favored in import demand analysis models, such as import demand for meat (Goktolga 2006), import demand for dairy products (Karkacier 2000), import demand for vegetable oil and products (Kizilaslan and Kizilaslan 2006), import demand for wheat (Baiyegunhi and Sikhosana 2012;Uzunoz and Akcay 2009) and import demand for rice in Uganda (Hyuha et al 2017). In addition, the double log specification is used to examine the Japan's horticultural import performance.…”

Sago starch (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) is one of the starches imported into Japan.Recently, sago starch has been promoted as a healthy type of starch because it is gluten-free and non-allergenic. This study aims to identify the factors affecting sago starch import demand during the period 1978-2017 in Japan by using a double logarithmic linear function. The study revealed that the price of sago starch, GDP, aging population rate and tariff-rate quota policy are significant factors influencing sago starch importation in Japan.

“…On the same vein, using double logarithmic model and time series data spanning from 1961 to 2013, Hyuha et al (2017) analysed the determinants of rice import demand in Uganda. With the study aimed at ascertaining the key parameters influencing rice import demand, the regression results revealed that domestic rice production, population and own rice consumption significantly influenced rice import demand.…”

“…Additionally, an appreciation of Kenya shillings against a foreign currency is anticipated to have a positive effect on maize imports. The use of this variable as an explanatory variable is justified by past empirical studies (e.g., Hyuha et al, 2017).…”

The objective of our study is to investigate the key factors that determine maize import volumes in Kenya. To achieve this objective, we used time series secondary data from FAOSTAT, World Bank and World Trade Organization (WTO) for the period 1963 to 2016. We consider this period to be long enough to allow us to accurately capture the domestic maize price patterns before and after the onset of maize market reforms in Kenya. Our econometric analysis of the time series data using an error correction version of Autoregressive distributed lag model shows that maize import volume is determined by trade openness, domestic price of maize and gross domestic product in the long run. In the short run, the results show that maize import volume is determined by exchange rate, lag of exchange rate, lag of maize import volume and production. The findings suggest that to reduce overreliance on maize imports, effective management of macroeconomic environment should be stimulated to create a favourable environment for improving domestic maize production so as to discourage a surge in maize imports and at the same time improve the country's food security.

“…The food and beverage industry directly impacts the daily lives of the entire society and plays a vital role in both regional and global economies (Zhu et al, 2018). Supply chain risks are analysed by most scientists (Xu et al, 2020;Khanal, 2018;Cimprich et al, 2017;Kolotzek et al, 2018;Hyuha et al, 2017;Bakumenko, 2019;Baryannis et al, 2019). The structure of agri-food supply chains is becoming increasingly complex, making them more sensitive to different societal levels and risks.…”

Research purpose. The article aims to identify the risk groups arising in foreign trade in the four main groups of processed beverages at a national level. Design / Methodology / Approach. Processed agricultural drinks do not fall into the category of essential food. The article examines four main drink groups: waters (including mineral waters and aerated waters, with additive), beer, wine, and other alcoholic (e.g., spirits, liqueurs, whiskies, rums, gins, vodkas, etc.) beverages. The case of Lithuania is presented. Analysis and assumption of scientific literature and TOPSIS method are used. The study does not aim to assess all risk factors but to identify the groups of risk factors and to rank them according to their importance for each processed beverage sectors supply chains. Findings. Based on the scientific literature analysis, the eight risk groups were identified and were evaluated according to their importance for the beverages supply chain. Experts ranked risk groups taking into account their importance for international processed beverages trade for each product group. The results show that the most important is the Demand risks group for all processed beverages, and the least important is Political risk. The significance of other risk groups for a particular beverage supply chains differs. Supply risks were second in the ‘water with add’ group, while in the ‘other alcohol’ group, it is in fourth place. For the ‘other alcohol’ group, supply risks are less significant. Production risks are one of the most important in the wine trade. Financial risks are one of the most important in the ‘other alcohol’ group. Management and operational risks play an essential role in the beer supply chains. The least significant is three risk groups: Logistical and infrastructural risks, Policy and regulatory risks, Political risks. Originality / Value / Practical implications. The identified risks groups in the four main groups of processed beverages can help shape the country’s trade policy, mitigate trade risks, and effectively manage the agricultural trade beverage subsector. Research results can be practically used both for government or business decisions and for the public sector (trade associations).
