Policy briefStrengthening sugar-sweetened beverages tax effects in Catalonia, Spain
FAO Agricultural Development Economics Policy Brief 36
2020Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief analyses in which ways and to what extent sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) taxes trigger reduced consumption. The potential signaling effect of a SSBs tax introduced in Catalonia, Spain, was studied. To do so, a questionnaire was distributed in November 2019 in two neighbourhoods from Barcelona with different mean income levels. Associations between variables constructed from the questionnaire and their relation with declared reduced consumption were explored. The brief intends to disentangle the different influences of price and signaling effect on the reduction of SSBs’ consumption, analyzing the results based on socio-demographic characteristics and providing policy implications of the findings. -
Book (series)Trends in Foreign Direct Investment in Food, Beverages and Tobacco 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This paper analyses foreign direct investment (FDI) flows in food, beverages and tobacco, including primary agriculture and retail, from 2003 to 2014. It provides information on global, regional and - where possible - national trends in FDI flows in food, beverages and tobacco. When data are available, this study also provides more detailed insights into particular qualitative traits of FDI flows, such as whether FDI seems to be market- or resource-seeking, or in how far changes in sub-sector-sp ecific investment could be linked to changes in consumer demand. Thus it contributes to the ongoing global debate on the relevance and characteristics of FDI in developing country agriculture. -
Policy briefSolomon Islands food and beverage trade 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Trade of food and beverages between Solomon Islands and its international trade partners is an increasingly dominant component of the Solomon Islands Food System. Post-Second World War trade was mostly export of cash crops including copra, and import of incidental commodities including wheat flour, canned meat, biscuits and sugar. Since this time, however, and particularly since the period of tensions, imports have grown dramatically, including a diverse array of highly processed foods and staples. Yet, an accurate understanding of Solomon Islands food and beverage trade and how it affects many aspects of life including health, the domestic economy, and traditional agriculture, has been unavailable until now.
