A widely applied food safety management system is the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system, which has become mandatory in many countries and is therefore of major relevance for food producers, processors and traders worldwide. However, mandatory HACCP implementation may act as a trade barrier for many developing and transition countries and pose particular difficulties for small food producers and processors. In this paper, we evaluate the current state of knowledge and implementation of HACCP-based management systems among small-scale honey producers in Brazil. The empirical analysis is based on original survey data collected from a random sample of 115 households involved in apiculture in the northeast of Brazil. In the interviews, beekeepers were asked about their knowledge of HACCP requirements and the implementation of these requirements. Based on a principal component analysis, we create knowledge and implementation indices and compare these indices to relevant household characteristics and honey production conditions. Both the knowledge of requirements and the implementation of these requirements are strongly linked to the households' connectedness along the value chain and their access to a suitable honey extraction facility. In order to enhance the competitiveness of the Brazilian small-scale honey sector, policy-makers should foster cooperation among producers and improve their connectedness to input and output markets. Furthermore, access to appropriate honey extraction facilities should be improved."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3920/jcns2012.x003"],["dc.identifier.gro","3148890"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5527"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Wollni Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","1569-1829"],["dc.title","Knowledge and implementation of HACCP-based management systems among small-scale honey producers in Brazil"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

A considerable amount of literature is dedicated to the adoption of improved cropping practices among smallholder farmers in developing countries. While most studies focus on cash crops or main staple crops, traditional food grains like finger millet have received little attention in the past decades. Traditional food grains have however an important potential to improve food security, reduce micronutrient deficiencies, and enhance smallholder adaptation to climate change. The present study aims to assess the factors that influence adoption decisions among finger millet farmers in western Kenya. Based on cross-sectional household data from 270 farmers, we estimated a multivariate probit model to compare the adoption decisions in finger millet and maize production. While improved practices such as the use of a modern variety or chemical fertilizer are relatively well adopted in maize production, they are less common in finger millet production. Social networks as well as access to extension services play crucial roles in the adoption of improved finger millet practices, while the same variables are of minor importance for the adoption of improved maize practices. A Cobb-Douglas production function shows a positive effect of modern varieties and chemical fertilizer on finger millet yields."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s12571-016-0577-7"],["dc.identifier.fs","625731"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/10571"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1876-4525"],["dc.relation.issn","1876-4517"],["dc.title","Improved production systems for traditional food crops: the case of finger millet in western Kenya"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
