“…The revealed comparative advantage index (or RCA) [24,34,35], can help us to measure the international competitiveness of a country’s industry or products. For dairy products as a whole, New Zealand has a greater comparative advantage, a very high degree of specialization and a strong international competitiveness [28].…”

“…The melamine milk scandal hugely increased China’s demand for imported dairy products and has even had a direct impact on the relationship between supply and demand in the international dairy market which may have far-reaching implications for Australia and New Zealand, as major dairy exporting countries, in the international market. In recent years, much scholarly attention and research has been devoted to the dairy scandal in China [16,23,24,25], but there has been little comparative analysis between Australia and New Zealand to assess the relative global impact of dairy imports on the Chinese market. The present research will compare the performance of China’s global dairy imports before and after entry into the WTO in the period of 1992–2017, across all sectors in relation to Australia and New Zealand especially in the context of the food safety laws following the milk scandals.…”

After the melamine milk scandal in 2008, China’s global imports of dairy products soared, especially after FTAs had been established with Australia and New Zealand. The dairy products of the two countries have a unique competitive trading advantage in the Chinese market. However, at a time when Chinese consumers are increasingly dependent on imported dairy products, a succession of whey protein scandals affecting New Zealand’s dairy products in 2013 had a negative psychological impact on Chinese importers and consumers, and this even affected the import status of New Zealand dairy imports to the Chinese market. The present paper, based on the United Nations Comtrade Harmonized System, studies the role of Australia and New Zealand in China’s dairy market. It calculates the trade competitiveness index, revealing the relative competitive advantages of Australia and New Zealand, and investigates the impact of the dairy products from these countries on China’s imports from the rest of the world across six dairy sectors in the period 1992–2017. We find that, under the food safety laws, the relative dairy import prices, milk scandals, and Free Trade Agreements, together with the competitive advantages of Australia and New Zealand, had a varied impact on the corresponding Chinese dairy imports across the relevant sectors in the context of China food safety laws after the melamine milk scandal. These findings acknowledge Australia and New Zealand’s competitiveness in the international dairy trade, and also lead to suggestions regarding their competitiveness and sustainable development in the Chinese market.

“…The city is shrouded in thick smog (Cheng et al, 2017 ), and the location of some controversial neighboring facilities (Yue et al, 2018 ) indicate that Chinese urban residents are living in a high environmental hazards context. The continued and rampant public health safety scandals, such as the Sanlu Milk Powder and Changchun Vaccine incidents, vividly show that the Chinese are facing health risks related to food and medical care (Song et al, 2018 ; Wang and Ding, 2019 ). The frequent seasonal floods occurring in large cities have severely damaged important infrastructure, such as electricity and transportation, impacting people's daily lives, which is considered one of the most serious natural hazards occurring in Chinese cities.…”

The salience of social risks and the incidence of various crises in China have induced widespread concerns among urban residents. Encountering frequent risks places higher demands on the cognition of urban residents. The concept of safety cognition capability is defined within the context of urban residents' daily life, and measurement instruments are developed and tested to lay the foundation for grasping the current safety cognition capability of urban residents and conducting further research. In this study, the five-dimensional structure of urban residents' safety cognition capability (URSCC) was proposed by using the grounded theory method to sort out the interview transcript of interviews with 30 urban residents, and a 38-item URSCC scale was designed and used for surveys conducted in China. The results show that the scale can be used as a valid tool to measure the URSCC, and it can help city managers to better understand the safety needs of residents, as well as monitor the effectiveness of policy implementation.

“…In such circumstances, there are many types of knowledge-based approaches that refer to fault diagnosis and risk analysis, such as fault tree analysis (FTA), hazard analysis, critical control points (HACCP), root cause analysis (RCA), etc. [14][15][16]. Among them, the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) technique is widely used in numerous industries to assess and mitigate the risk of unexpected failures [17].…”

Sustainable Food Production: An Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Framework for Analyzing the Risk of Critical Processes

et al. 2022

Fault diagnosis and prognosis methods are the most useful tools for risk and reliability analysis in food processing systems. Proactive diagnosis techniques such as failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) are important for detecting all probable failures and facilitating the risk analysis process. However, significant uncertainties exist in the classical-FMEA when it comes to ranking the risk priority numbers (RPNs) of failure modes. Such uncertainties may have an impact on the food sector’s operational safety and maintenance decisions. To address these issues, this research provides a unique FMEA framework for risk analysis within an edible oil purification facility that is based on certain well-known intelligent models. Fuzzy inference systems (FIS), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), and support vector machine (SVM) models are among those used. The findings of the comparison of the proposed FMEA framework with the classical model revealed that intelligent strategies were more effective in ranking the RPNs of failure modes. Based on the performance criteria, it was discovered that the SVM algorithm classifies the failure modes more accurately and with fewer errors., e.g., RMSE = 7.30 and MAPE = 13.19 with that of other intelligent techniques. Hence, a sensitivity FMEA analysis based on the SVM algorithm was performed to put forward suitable maintenance actions to upgrade the reliability and safety within food processing lines.
