“…The issue of food is very basic to human life. It is so basic and obvious that it often escapes public attention until it is not there or until the consumption of an unhealthy mix of it contributes to health problems (Tansey, 1994). Among the variety of functions that food performs include; acting as a source of nourishment, as a pastime for personal indulgence or as a focus for socializing with family, friends, and others and in contributing to a general sense of individual and national well‐being (Wright et al , 2001).…”

PurposeGiven the diversity which exists among various groups of consumers, the purpose of this paper is to explore students' consumption of non‐alcoholic beverages in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThree focus groups and 20 in‐depth interviews were conducted with students in three universities located in Lagos, Nigeria.FindingsInitial findings indicate that these students' consumption of non‐alcoholic beverages is influenced in many ways. Nevertheless, the most striking of these influences are found to be convenience of purchase, along with availability, price, health concerns, and culture/social reasons.Originality/valueThe main contribution of the study lies in the relevance of segmentation, targeting, and positioning activities of business organisations in respect of marketing of non‐alcoholic beverages. Based on the findings, the empirical study will serve as a valuable input to marketers in their planning, analysis, and implementation of appropriate marketing strategies to students vis‐à‐vis the highlighted influences on their consumption of this category of food. It will thus serve as a tool for creating competitive advantage in this prevailing volatile business environment.

“…With the gradual rise of global seafood trade since 1976 as recorded in the report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO; 2018) of the United Nations, concerns about seafood quality and safety standards have been at the forefront of both national and global trade policy debates. At a global level, for instance, "food quality and safety" was proposed as a strategic action in the 1992 World Declaration and Plan of Action for Nutrition to ensure continued access to safe and nutritious food (Tansey, 1994). In 2012, the issue of food safety and food security was ranked third by the United Nations Environment program (UNEP) among the 21 challenging issues confronting the 21st-century global economy (UNEP, 2012).…”

Domestic Ban Versus Border Rejections: A Case of Oman’s Fish Exports to the EU

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The decline of Oman's fish exports to the European Union (EU) since mid-2000s has caused legitimate concerns among policy makers and exporters. However, the potential reasons for the decline have not been fully elucidated. To ascertain the underlying causes of such decline, this article empirically examines the relative significance of potential economic and policyrelated factors such as border rejections influenced by health and safety measures, supply and demand capacities, domestic ban, domestic structural changes, and exchange rate fluctuations on Oman's fish exports to the EU. The results obtained from the dynamic unbalanced panel data model for the period 2000-2013 indicate that fish exports to the EU markets have been influenced by the domestic ban on export, domestic structural changes, and exchange rate fluctuations rather than by border rejections. These findings provide important signal to policy makers of the respective countries in designing adaptive policy approach to address such influences.

“…The quality and safety of fish and fishery products [1] is an important public policy issue as it is inherently associated with various matters such as consumer welfare, public health, food security, sustainable resource utilization, consumer awareness and confidence. As such it has attracted legitimate attention from governments, policy makers, food businesses, and other supply chain players of both local and global origin (FAO/WHO, 2003a;Unnevehr, 2003;Tansey, 1994).…”

“…Third, the protection of public health and the provision of food with nutritional quality are key elements of the national development plan. Fourth, the advent of information technology and its influence on the gradual change in consumer attitudes (Tansey, 1994) and growing consumer interest in seafood quality and safety (Wessells and Anderson, 1995). Last but not least, being a member of the WTO and a net exporter of fish and fishery products Oman has the obligations and commitment to abide by the rules stipulated to enable successful access to economically important markets.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the views of the primary and the secondary stakeholders on the current functioning of the fish quality and safety regulatory system in Oman. Design/methodology/approach – The views on the fish quality and safety regulatory governance mechanism were elicited using a questionnaire survey. Findings – Although specific benefits derived from the quality control (QC) regulations were recognized by both groups a number of key factors were highlighted for improvement such as funding, being more proactive, literacy, quality of fish received. Originality/value – The paper has identified some weaknesses and constraints that hinder the effective and efficient functioning of the quality and safety regulatory systems and provided appropriate policy recommendations to make the governance of the QC regulatory system in the seafood sector efficient and effective and to mitigate public health risk.
