Abstract:
Abstract Sweet potato flour is one of the derivative products of sweet potato, especially for raw materials or additives in the food industry. The processing of sweet potato-based products must also be balanced with existing environmental management. For this reason, there is a need for suitable methods to deal with processes that produce minimised wastes that harm the environment. Cleaner production is an approach that offers various environmental benefits for the sweet potato flour industry. Identification of cleaner production alternatives was carried out by the quick scan method for minimising the presence of waste in the sweet potato flour industry. The feasibility of the cleaner production design was analysed by considering technical, environmental, financial, and economic aspects. Identification of water use was done by calculating the water footprint in the whole production process. The water footprint was calculated by adding up the green, blue, and grey water footprints to obtain the total water usage in the production process. The use of water for planting sweet potato (green water) is estimated to be approx. 1.093 m3/ton of sweet potato flour. With a sweet potato flour yield of 50.8%, the production of sweet potato flour requires a water volume (blue water) of 1.32 m3/ton of sweet potato flour. The following cleaner production alternatives were identified as prospective for waste minimisation in the small-scale industry, including good manufacturing practices, repairing flour machines, drying using a greenhouse, training in the selection of raw materials and training in standard operating procedures (SOPs) for flour production, and utilisation of sweet potato peel as animal feed. With the implementation of cleaner production and more efficient use of water, it is expected that the sweet potato flour industry will become a more sustainable industry.

Abstract:
Light color after frying and sprouting are the main quality parameters evaluated by the pre-fried potato processing industry. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability for use by the pre-fried potato processing industry, the cultivars Asterix, Corsica, Edison, Lionheart and Markies through the sprouting and post-frying color of the sticks. For this, the tubers were stored at 8 °C (RH 90% ± 2) for up to 180 days. Sprouting started at 60 days with the exception of ‘Lionheart’, which started sprouting at 120 days. At 150 and 180 days, all cultivars showed large sprouts, but still suitable for the processing industry. Visually, the Asterix cultivar remained in category 3 and the most cultivars in 2. The parameter L * reduced with the storage time in all cultivars, indicating the browning of the sticks, which was accompanied by the reduction of parameter b *, indicating less yellowing. It is concluded that All cultivars can be used by the processing industry after storage at 8 °C for 180 days. These results are important to the process industry due to difficult from storage of tubers under refrigeration in reason of browning during fried.

Abstract:
Purpose. Potato is one of the most important crops to ensure food security globally; potato growing is also a source of income and livelihood for the poorest, especially in developing countries. In view of this, studies on factors affecting potato prices could stimulate agripolitical measures in food security, rural wealth, potato industry and small farms’ development. This paper aims to explore whether the factors affecting potato prices for business entities and farm households operating in the same (but peasant-driven) market are different. Based on the available statistical data and the research background, we focus on the relationships between wages, production (yields and harvested areas), and potato producers’ prices in Ukraine. Methodology / approach. Using the cross-sectional data on potato producer prices, harvested area, and yields of enterprises and households, and average monthly wages in Ukrainian regions for 2018–2020, we used a system of simultaneous equations to model behavior of potato producers’ prices (for enterprises and households) through the two-stage least squares method. Results. The Ukrainian potato industry is featured high rates of potato self-provision (through subsistence farming) and the dominance of farm households at the market, allowing exploring trends and factors of peasant-driven potato market development. The results obtained through modelling of an interrelation of potato producer prices indicate different potato price determinants for enterprises and households: price in enterprises adjusts to fluctuations of potato yields in both enterprises and households (calculated average elasticities are -0.27 and -0.55, respectively, indicating the more significant influence of the latter); households’ price responds to changes of enterprises’ potato prices and average monthly wage rates (with average elasticities 0.49 and 1.35, respectively). Originality / scientific novelty. Research results empirically evidence that households’ dominance and a large portion of food self-provision constrain the potato industry development. This enhances a better understanding of subsistence farming’s impact on markets and food industry development and extends the theoretical framework of households’ economics and peasant-driven market functioning. Practical value / implications. Understanding the role of households in the slow (obstacle) development of the potato industry reveals the need for a policy promoting storage and potato processing capacities development that could mitigate the adverse effects of peasant-driven market performance, decrease price vulnerability, and facilitate potato industry growth.

Abstract:
All around the world, particularly in developed countries, fresh potato consumption decreased while the consumption as fast food, snack and convenience food was increased. Potato processing industry has by-products such as cull potato, peel, pulp, and waste water. These by-products can be utilized for production of ethyl alcohol, single cell protein, microbial enzymes, lactic acid, organic fertilizer and bioethanol. The pulp obtained from the processing of potato for starch production can be considered as an energy source with starch content in animal nutrition. Recently, potato peel with the contents of bioactive compounds (chlorogenic, caffeic, gallic, protocatechuic acids) and their antioxidant and antimicrobial effects have been intensely focused on. Conversion of by-products of potato processing industry into value-added products is economically important. It was reviewed here by-products of potato processing industry and their evaluation in animal nutrition.

Abstract:
Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) causes a serious disease of potato, affecting yield and tuber quality. To control the disease, the Canadian seed certification program maintains a zero tolerance for the disease and a requirement that all nuclear stock, the micropropagated plantlets from which each lot of seed potatoes is initiated, is tested using reverse polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (rPAGE) to ensure freedom from PSTVd. Moreover, seed potato fields are visually inspected during two or more annual field inspections for the presence of PSTVd and viruses. Symptoms of PSTVd have not been observed during field inspections for at least the last 25 years. Prior to 1989, seed potato stocks in the provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick were tested using rPAGE and nucleic acid dot blot hybridization for the presence of the viroid, and no infections were found (1). Similar surveys for PSTVd in Canada's western provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan also failed to detect the viroid (2). During 2000–2004, the PSTVd survey was extended to the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland in which 211, 188, 95, 6, and 10 samples, respectively, were collected. Each sample consisted of 400 randomly selected leaves from selected potato fields representing seed lots registered in one of the four Elite seed classes or in the Foundation and Certified classes, except for a small number of samples (11%) that were from commercial nonseed fields. Leaves were tested using the dot blot procedure in composites of 50 leaves as described (2). Approximately 10% of the samples were retested using rPAGE followed by northern blotting to confirm dot blot results. All dot blot and rPAGE/northern blot results were negative for PSTVd. The cumulative results of the PSTVd surveys in all 10 Canadian provinces and the absence of the disease in the field as determined by annual visual inspection meets the International Standards of Phytosanitary Measures for the Requirements for the Establishment of Pest Free Areas (3). Hence, Canada declares that PSTVd is absent within its potato industry. A similar declaration was made by the United States recently on the basis of similar field inspection and survey data (4).

Abstract:
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties Atlantic and Granola are widely grown in Indonesia. The optimal method of cultivation in the tropics, due to the susceptibility of cut seed for disease, is by small (20 to 55 g) whole seed potatoes. However, the variety Atlantic produces mostly large tubers, which are not suitable for planting as whole seeds. Although Granola produces a reasonable proportion of small tubers it still produces a few in the larger size grades and there is no fresh market in Western Australia for the larger tubers for this variety. The aim of this study was to develop methods to be used in Western Australia that improve the yield of small seed potatoes for export to Indonesia. The influence of seed-potato storage duration (at 4°C) on subsequent stem growth was assessed after 30 days growth in a glasshouse (22°C/18°C, day⁄night). Seed potato storage for 22-28 (Atlantic) and 24-30 (Granola) weeks resulted in development of higher numbers of stems. A series of field experiment were designed to increase yield of small tubers. Apical sprout removal in Granola, but not Atlantic, increased the number of stems (by 27%), yield of 20-55 g potato (by 32%) and total yield (by 17%). Application of herbicide (paraquat + diquat) at low concentration during early tuber initiation decreased total yield in Atlantic (by 14%) and Granola (by 16%). Treating whole seed potatoes with carvone vapor two weeks before planting had no influence on stem or tuber number in both Atlantic and Granola but in Atlantic only, the total yield was reduced by 12%. Spraying plants with paclobutrazol during early tuber initiation inconsistently influenced tuber number and yield between the two varieties and two experiments. The influence of gibberellic acid (GA3) on stem number, total tuber number, yield of 20-55 g tubers and total yield was investigated by dipping seed pieces in a GA3 solution (20 mg⁄L) two days prior to planting. In Atlantic, GA3 treatment increased stem number (by 147%), total tuber number (by 75%) and yield of 20-55 g tubers (by 330%) without influencing total yield. In Granola, GA3 treatment increased stem number (by 50%), total tuber number (by 15%), yield of 20-55 g tubers (by 21%) and total yield (by 10%) The influence of gibberellic acid application (20 mg⁄L) to seed pieces before planting increased the number of small tubers through increased stem number. The shift toward a greater proportion of small tubers, without reducing total yield, had a greater influence in Atlantic than that in Granola. Treatment of GA3 and paclobutrazol together decreased total yield compared to that of GA3 alone

Abstract:
Spatial shifts and structural changes continue to occur in the United States agricultural industry. Researchers have documented that the potato industry has changed in response to demands of consumers, expectations of producers and improvements in research and development. The aim of this study was to provide empirical evidence that both institutional and infrastructural factors are important to potato production in North Dakota. Using secondary county-level potato production data for North Dakota, an empirical model was designed to estimate the direction and impact of growers' expectations of prices, yields and costs on their decision to produce potatoes. The results confirmed that institutional relationships established between growers and processors, as well as the infrastructure that growers have in place from one growing season to the next, are statistically significant in determining the total number of potato acres planted.

Abstract:
The Japanese vegetable market is characterized by a general tendency towards the concentration of production by region. Amongst all vegetables, potato production has the highest level of concentration. Eighty-six percent of the total market quantity is accounted for by Hokkaido, the largest production prefecture amongst the 47 prefectures in Japan. The Herfindahl Index for prefectures in the Japanese potato market was 0.74 in 1994, indicating that the fewness of producers was equivalent to a market where total output was shared equally by only 1.35 producers. Under this highly concentrated situation, existence of monopolistic power, or more generally, oligopolistic power, of the large scale producers can be suspected.
In this thesis, the level of competition in the Japanese Potato market was evaluated employing conjectural variations analysis based on a monthly data for 1989 to 1995 to reveal the nature of the market. Four wholesale markets, in four large consumption areas, and eight production areas in differ ent geographical locations in were analyzed.
The conclusion from the results of the empirical analysis is that, despite the high level of concentration in production, all producing regions including the dominant producer, Hokkaido, seem to have behaved competitively.
One implication for the competitive behavior of these large producers is the imperative to maintain their share in the market against potential competitors, resulting in price setting close to the marginal cost.

Abstract:
Poor quality seed is the major constraint limiting both the productivity of potato crops and the expansion of the potato industry in Vietnam. Despite numerous attempts to establish a certified seed system, the most practical solution is to import clean foundation seed of the desired variety and physiological age. With imports from Europe and North America proving to be immature and too expensive, Western Australia (WA) has emerged as a potential source of high quality seed. While seed imports from WA are unique in that the varieties imported have been selected by researchers in Vietnam as being suited to the agro-ecological environment in the Red River Delta (RRD), no assessment of the economic benefits to smallholder potato farmers from the use of WA potato seed has been undertaken. In 2006/08, the yield and profitability of three potato varieties Eben, KT3 and Atlantic in two locations were compared where the crops had been derived from new seed imported from WA (VN0), seed derived from crops cultivated in the RRD after one generation (VN1) and two generations (VN2). There was a significant difference in the yield produced between the three different seed sources but not between the locations. For all varieties, and in both years, the yield decreased with the number of multiplications in Vietnam. Furthermore, the marketable yield declined significantly from the first crop (VN0) to the third crop (VN2). The decline in yield and tuber quality with each successive generation was associated with an increase in PVY and PVX infection. Not unexpectedly, differences in yield and marketable yield between the seed generations had a significant impact on the gross income for each variety.VN0 seed of all varieties produced the highest gross income (VND 2.4 to 4.1 M/sao) compared to VN1 (VND 1.9 to 3.1 M/sao) which was significantly higher than VN2 (VND 1.4 to 2.4 M/sao). However, while high quality seed is more productive, it is also more expensive. As a result, significant differences were observed between the seed costs. VN0 seed was almost two times more expensive (VND 10,500 – 11,000 per kg) than VN1 and VN2 seed (VND 6,000 – 6,500 per kg). Despite the higher costs, VN0 seed provided the highest net incomes compared to VN1 which was significantly higher than VN2. Farmers who retained seed received a higher net income (VND 0.13 – 0.6 M/sao) than those who did not retain seed. Ways to improve the accessibility of affordable, high quality potato seed to farmers in the RRD are discussed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to design a computer model which compares three sprinkler irrigation systems---portable pipe with volume gun, traveller with volume gun and towable/non-towable centre pivot---for potato production. The model user is required to enter a set of basic data: crop and field conditions, irrigation technical parameters and basic economic data, following which the model establishes the preliminary irrigation system and a comparative investment analysis. The model was applied and tested on a potato farm situated in Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix (southwestern Quebec). Based on a 14-year climatic analysis, supplemental irrigation for a normal rainfall growing period (368 mm) was estimated at 250 mm. The application of the model indicates that for a normal rainfall period with an assumed yield increase of 25% over non-irrigated production, all three systems provide net profits (increases of 11% to 50%). However, when determining the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) on a 10-year period, the maximum rate attained by the more profitable systems---portable pipe and non-towable centre pivot (both with an electric pump)---was 14%, a rate inferior to the IRR for non-irrigated production (17%). The Net Present Value (NPV) analysis for the two most profitable irrigation systems provided a slightly higher NPV value for irrigated than for non-irrigated production ($10,942---irrigated vs $10,522---non-irrigated production). The payback period for those two irrigation systems was 7 years. Greater gains of irrigated over non-irrigated yields would be expected for a dry period because of low and unpredictable yields in non-irrigated conditions. A farmer planning to invest in an irrigation system must carefully investigate all technical and socio-economic aspects. The model presented gives the farmer a useful tool with which to do this.

Abstract:
The Australian potato industry is threatened by inadequate measures to control the virus health of seed potatoes. Potatoes are vegetatively propagated; therefore infection can result in disease spreading through generations. This has the potential to cause significant economic losses. Virus testing on tuber sprouts is currently conducted by ELISA, however a significant time delay of several weeks can occur while tubers sprout. There is a considerable need for a rapid, quantitative and cost effective virus test directly on bulked samples of dormant tubers to identify infected lots during seed multiplication. The potato viruses of economic importance in Western Australia are Potato virus S, (PVS), Potato virus X, (PVX), Potato leafroll virus, (PLRV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). The main aim of this project was to develop reliable PCR-based methods for multiplex real-time quantitative detection of these viruses in bulked potato tuber samples for seed certification for domestic and export markets. Knowledge of the distribution of the viruses within tuber tissue was needed to develop more effective methods of RNA extraction. The distribution of the viruses in histological sections of potato tubers was investigated using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. All four viruses were found to be distributed at the stolon end of freshly harvested infected potato tubers. Extraction of RNA from tuber tissue is problematic because it contains starches and phenolics which inhibit RT-PCR. Extracting RNA from the tuber peelings would overcome this problem; however one of the viruses, PLRV, is restricted to the phloem in potato tubers. The distribution of the phloem in the superficial tissue of potato tubers was therefore investigated using histological staining and transmission electron microscopy. The vascular tissue was found to be within 2 mm below the epidermis of the tuber. With this knowledge, total RNA was extracted rapidly and efficiently from bulked potato peelings equivalent to 300 dormant tubers to detect single infections of PLRV, PVX, PVS and TSWV. For the quantitative detection of these viruses in potato leaves and tuber tissue, specific primers and fluorescent-labeled TaqMan® probes were designed. A realtime multiplex, single tube RT-PCR assay was developed. The main tasks involved primer design, optimization of reagents, standardization of RNA samples from which standard curves for analysis were generated, and identification of a baseline on which to interpret results. Limits of detection sensitivity were established using a range of virus transcript copy numbers (8 x 101 to 8 x 109 copies of PVX and PVS, 1 x 102 to 1 x 1010 copies of PLRV and 1 x 103 to 1 x 1010 copies of TSWV). The multiplexed assay was validated in blind studies. This high-throughput test is accurate and sensitive, and as a result this test is in the process of being commercialized and used by the seed potato industry of Western Australia as a cost-effective diagnostic tool to detect viruses reliably in bulked samples of dormant potato tubers.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned primarily with the export marketing performance of the Northern Ireland seed potato industry. The Industry has shown a dramatic decline in exports over the past twenty years, and this thesis proposes strategies aimed at regaining, and maintaining, a competitive advantage for the industry in world markets. A comparative analysis is conducted of the strategic and organisational export capabilities of the Northern Ireland industry and its main competitors. In addition, an analysis of the requirements of major world seed potato markets is undertaken. Academically, the thesis aims to apply the principles of export marketing to a traditionally managed sector of agriculture. As such, it is hoped that the thesis makes a useful contribution to the literature on agricultural marketing and export marketing. Major academic themes explored in the thesis include - Globalisation versus 'customisation' - New product development strategy and export success - Product-life-cycle analysis and product-enhancement strategies - Export promotional strategies - The utility of horizontal and marketing performances - 'Market spreading' versus 'key market concentration' vertical integration in enhancing - Centrality or peripherality of the export function The central hypothesis explored in the thesis is that in an agricultural industry, such as a seed potato one, where production is fragmented over a. large number of small production units, then a necessary prerequisite to successful strategic exporting is the existence of an appropriate organisational structure to carry out the strategic tasks. This hypothesis is confirmed by the findings of the research. As the product and service requirements of world seed potato markets have changed over the years, and are becoming more sophisticated, the Northern Ireland industry has been unable to adopt an appropriate customisation strategy in response. This is due to the inhibiting effect of an inappropriate organisational structure within the industry. By way of contrast, industries which have developed considerably by responding to changing market requirements (such as the Netherlands, France and Scotland) are characterised by a strongly integrated organisational structure (both horizontal and vertical). In all these countries this has largely been achieved by the development of marketing co-operatives. In seeking to propose export marketing strategies for the Northern Ireland industry therfore, a necessary prerequisite is to establish an appropriately integrated organisational system within the industry. As the seed potato marketing co-operative Expotato Limited has already begun to introduce a horizontally and vertically intergrated discipline into the Northern Ireland industry, it is suggested that this co-operative should be further developed as a catalyst for positive organisational and strategic development of the industry ...[cont.].

Abstract:
Adequate supply of healthy planting material, at reasonable prices, is of critical importance to the functioning of the potato industry. True Potato Seed (TPS) technology offers an alternative way to produce potato planting material, based on the use of botanical potato seeds. This study investigates the hypothesis that the use of TPS technology, in a similar way as practised in the USA, will be beneficial to the European Union. It is assumed that the TPS varieties that have been bred in the USA are also capable of meeting the demands of the EU markets. The current status of the EU potato industry and the working of TPS technology are reviewed. As part of this study botanical potato seeds from nine TPS varieties that are commercially available in the USA, have been imported into and used to initiate the first ever field trials within the European Union. A large mathematical model has been purposely built to simulate the uptake of TPS technology by the EU potato industry, and to assess the agronomic and economic effects. The modelling results of various scenarios all indicate that the use of TPS technology would bring economic and agricultural benefits to the EU. The annual savings could be as high as 130 million ECU per year, whilst reducing the potato growing area with up to 72,000 ha. Implications of these finding, and current limitations for the uptake of TPS technology inside the EU are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Among pests and diseases of potatoes, British potato growers consider potato cyst nematodes (PCN: Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis) to cause the most damage. By feeding on the roots, PCN stunt plant growth, adversely affecting yields, tuber size and skin finish. Yield losses depend on the population level of the PCN in the soil, the soil type and the tolerance of the potato cultivar to the nematode damage. The increase in G. pallida has been most marked in the county of Angus, traditionally the part of Scotland most intensively cultivated with potatoes. The incidence of G. pallida in Angus is estimated as 9% of the area used for potato production, accounting for 68% of the total area of G. pallida infested land in Scotland. This chapter discusses the economic importance, host range, distribution, symptoms of damage, biology and life cycle, recommended integrated nematode management, and management optimization of PCN in Scotland. Future research requirements are also mentioned.

Abstract:
With the increasing demand for sustainable and functional proteins from alternative sources, it is necessary to use advanced proteomics and bioinformatics tools for more time and cost-efficient research. The identification and release of abundant proteins/peptides from plant-based sources has been gaining significant attention by the food industry in the last decade. Despite its low protein content (1–2%), the magnitude of proteins obtained from the starch industry (~240,000 tons/year) makes potatoes a highly relevant source as a plant-based protein. Previously, we have identified and validated abundant peptides with good emulsifying and antioxidant properties using bioinformatics and proteomics tools as well as in vitro model systems. Using data-driven targeted hydrolysis, we were able to release validated, functional peptides from the potato protein obtained from potato fruit juice, a protein rich by-product of potato starch production. This work focuses on fractionation of potato protein hydrolysates (PPH) obtained through such targeted hydrolysis using trypsin and subsequent fraction characterization. Unfractionated (PPH1) and membrane-fractionated (PPH2 as >10kDa, PPH3 as 10-5kDa, PPH4 as 5-0.8kDa and PPH5 as < 0.8kDa) PPH was characterized for emulsifying and antioxidant properties/potential. Pendant drop technique and dilatational rheology were applied for determining interfacial tension and viscoelasticity of the PPH fractions at the oil-water interface. PPH2 (>10kDa) showed higher decrease of oil-water interfacial tension. All fractions predominantly provided elastic, weak and easily stretchable interfaces. PPH2 provided more rigid interfacial layer than the other fractions. Radical scavenging and metal chelating activities of PPHs were also tested and the best activities were provided by fractions >5kDa. Furthermore, their ability to form physically and oxidatively stable 5% fish oil-in-water emulsions were investigated during 8-day storage and results generally showed that fractions >5kDa provided the best stability followed by the 5–0.8kDa fraction.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract With the declines in oil discoveries during the last decades, it is believed that Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)technologies will play a key role to meet the energy demand in years to come. Different processes have been designed to improve displacement efficiency by reducing residual oil saturation. However, polymer flooding was designed to improve sweep efficiency by improving the mobility ratio. In Nigeria, EOR materials and technologies are virtually imported, making them limited and expensive to use. This study is aimed at designing and constructing an efficient locally made core flooding apparatus, to carry out EOR experiments (flooding) and also to investigate the suitability of using locally sourced polysaccharide, potato starch in place of xanthan gum in polymer flooding, considering cost and concentration. The core flooding laboratory equipment was personally designed and fabricated to carry out the experiments at room temperature and pressure. Six core samples (P1 – P3; X1 – X3) with sand particle size of 425um were used and saturated with brine of concentration 10,000ppm and 1wt% salinity while heavy crude of API 18.21 was flooded through each sample. After water flooding, potato starch and xanthan gum prepared at 2,000ppm,4000ppm and 6000ppm concentration were flooded for tertiary recovery. The result showed that xanthan gum gave better recovery than potato starch but at concentration of 6000ppm, potato starch gave a recovery of 28.57% which is close to that of xanthan gum (30.56% recovery). Also, in respect to cost, xanthan gum cost ₦9,000 for 0.227 kg and an estimate of ₦40,000 for 1kg while potato starch cost ₦2,000 for 0.227kg and ₦9,000 for 1 kg, making xanthan gum more expensive than potato starch. This shows that potato starch, which is a cheaper polymer agent, gives better recovery at higher concentrations, hence can be applied in the oil and gas industry when more research is carried out on it for better improvement.

Full text
Abstract:
Value-added taxes (VAT) are applied in the European Union (EU) Member States in accordance with Directive 2006/112/EC to limit distortions in competition in the common European market. Latvia is one of the five EU Member States where reduced VAT rates are not applied to food products, and the food is taxed at the standard rate of 21%. For this reason, food producer organisations discuss the introduction of a reduced VAT rate for selected fruits, berries, vegetables as well as potato grown in Latvia. The overall aim of the present research is to assess the effect of reduction of the VAT rate from 21 to 5% for selected food groups: fresh fruits, berries, vegetables and potato produced in Latvia. The research estimated a decrease in the price for the mentioned food groups, identified a potential increase in consumption and forecasted the effect of the VAT rate reduction on the amount of tax revenue collected by the central government. The research found that the reduction of the VAT rate from 21 to 5 % would result in a price decrease ranging from 1.9 to 3.5% for fruits, berries, vegetables and potato, the consumption of fresh fruits and berries would increase, on average, in the range of 1.2–2.3%, while the consumption of fresh vegetables would increase, on average, in the range of 1.2–2.1%, yet in a short-term the tax revenue paid to the government would decrease in the range of EUR 3.9–5.7 million. Nevertheless, in a medium-term, a significant positive effect on the producers of fruits, berries, vegetables and potato that operate legally in the agricultural industry could be expected, as the negative effect of the shadow economy decreases.
