IMPACTS OF HYPOTHETICAL FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION CHANGES IN NORTH AMERICA
We utilize the Global Trade Analysis Project model to estimate the global fruit and vegetable (F&V) market impacts arising from increases in F&V demand and income levels. If F&V demand increased exclusively in the United States, we find that the market price impacts outside the U.S. w...

| Summary: | We utilize the Global Trade Analysis Project model to estimate the global fruit and
vegetable (F&V) market impacts arising from increases in F&V demand and income levels. If
F&V demand increased exclusively in the United States, we find that the market price impacts
outside the U.S. would be most pronounced in Mexico. We also find that an increase in F&V
demand in either the U.S. exclusively or throughout North America would lead to pronounced
income increases in Mexico and equatorial countries. Changes in F&V consumption in these
regions are modest, as higher incomes attenuate F&V price increases. We also find nominal
impacts in countries outside of North America resulting from a North American consumption
increase vis-a-vis an increase occurring exclusively in the United States. |
