Food Policy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 117, P. 102452 - 102452

Technological advancements that enable countries to produce farmed seafood domestically, including land-based production, could potentially improve sustainability measures. However, whether consumers prefer domestic imported is unclear. This paper aims fill this gap by employing hypothetical choice experiments from the US, France, and Japan. We find that, in each country, there a sizable consumer segment (varying one-quarter two-thirds of market) with strong preference for salmon, those production. These associate origin higher qualities all relevant dimensions are willing pay price premium. There also Norwegian salmon (from one-fifth market), linking qualities, prices. Consumers' attitudes towards environment food, usage label information, age, income, consumption frequencies, among characteristics explain heterogeneity. Our results show market potential seafood, thus, providing reliable information covers production would be important. At same time, existence implies active trade will remain, indicating importance continued international corporation holistic transparent policy framework common standards sustainable aquatic food system.

For each indicator, corresponding reference values defined field experience, apart from three possible scores experience continuum positive (score 1) very negative 3).
