THE CHALLENGES OF INFLUENCING CONSUMER BEHAVIOR TO IMPROVE FOOD SAFETY

by Vivian Hoffmann and Emily Wu | September 1, 2020

In Kenya, levels of exposure to aflatoxin—a contaminant produced by a fungus found on maize and other crops—are among the highest in the world, owing to high maize consumption and agroecological conditions in parts of the country. While a limited amount of aflatoxin consumption is not harmful, chronic exposure is a significant contributor to the global cancer burden. There is also evidence to suggest that aflatoxin may contribute to low birth weight, stunting, and suppressed immune response.

Reducing aflatoxin and other forms of contamination with foodborne hazards is particularly challenging for many developing countries with ineffective public health and regulatory systems. Although an official standard for aflatoxin levels has been set by the Kenya Bureau of Standards, testing and enforcement are very weak.

Consumers can play a particularly important role in food safety in such situations—if they can identify safety issues and signals of trustworthiness, and then act in a way that demands improved safety standards from the private market and enforcement from their governments. Advertising, discounts, and other actions by food sellers can impact consumer awareness.

A new paper, published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics, investigates the impact that advertising and discount promotions had on the demand for an aflatoxin-tested brand of maize flour in Central and Eastern Kenya. In theory, advertising of compliance with safety standards, paired with consumer demand for safer products, could help reduce consumption of aflatoxin and provide an incentive for private firms to invest in safer products.

However, our results suggest limited potential for the private sector to harness consumer demand for safer food in a low- to middle‐income country. Learning about a safer product, either through marketing messages or direct experience with the good, did not appear lead to lasting effects on demand.

We partnered with a mid‐sized Kenyan maize milling firm that agreed to subject its aflatoxin testing procedures to third-party verification and to include a label indicating this on its product. The firm's pricing strategy, which targeted the lower end of the branded maize flour market, remained unchanged.

First we looked at a marketing‐only campaign featuring a product label stating the third‐party food safety verification. This allowed us to examine whether food safety information alone affects sales. We saw purchases increase by 22 to 36 percent during the first two weeks of active promotion, but by the third week of the campaign, no effect of marketing could be seen.

We also examined the impacts of combining the marketing intervention with a temporary in-store discount. The discount (approximately 10 percent) was intended to induce consumers of cheaper brands to switch to the promoted brand. While the discount did lead to elevated sales of around 50 percent above baseline levels for several weeks after the discount ended, this effect also diminished over time.

Overall, our results indicate that temporary discounts, advertising campaigns, and safety labels have a limited ability to address aflatoxin consumption in Kenya. While they do have some impact on purchasing behavior, this lasts only a few weeks beyond the duration of the intervention. There are many potential reasons for this, including the advertising campaign not being sufficiently informative, not lasting long enough, coming from a private market player rather than government source, etc. Further research could determine whether other sources or types of information hold greater promise for changing consumer behavior, but our findings suggest that the potential for private market labeling and promotions alone to materially impact aflatoxin safety in formal markets is limited.

In informal markets, a grain’s observable characteristics play an important role in purchasing decisions

Another recent study, in Food Policy, examined the relationship between observable food quality, aflatoxin contamination, and price. In an informal market, quality cannot be judged based on labels and packaging. Instead, consumers make decisions based on observable characteristics such as kernel discoloration and breakage.

While these characteristics can signal aflatoxin contamination, our research suggests that consumers did not understand the relationship between the observable quality of food and its safety very well.

Our study looked at survey data collected from 1500 small-scale hammer mills in rural Kenya. Typically, consumers bring grain they have purchased or grown to a hammer mill to be ground into flour. From this data, we were able to examine the influence of observable and unobservable characteristics of the maize on consumers’ subjective perceptions of quality.

We found that consumers were more likely to avoid discolored maize than maize with broken kernels.  However, aflatoxin contamination in maize is highly correlated with damage to the hard, outer layer of the kernel. Maize in which over 10 percent of kernels show breakage contains approximately twice the level of aflatoxin as maize which is free of damage.

Even if consumers did not appear to weigh observable characteristics in a way that maximized food safety, knowing that they use this information to judge quality can aid efforts to improve food safety. With this insight, policy makers and food safety advocates can focus efforts on educational campaigns that teach consumers which observable characteristics can best inform purchasing decisions.

Conclusion

These studies show some of the challenges in raising consumer awareness of the risks of aflatoxin—and of food safety in general. In both informal and formal markets, existing consumer awareness and demand do not appear to be sufficient to drive major improvements in food safety. More research is needed to understand how to empower consumers with the tools and information they need to make informed, safety-conscious purchasing decisions. An important next step in this research agenda will be to test the impact of providing information on the relative safety of alternative food products or vendors. Identifying credible sources of information, such as governments or independent certification authorities, will be critical to the success of such efforts.

THIS WEEK IN FOOD

Welcome to the weekly Modern Farmer newsletter. We’ll bring you features, recipes and gardening tips, along with food and farming news from around the world.  Spent grain. A first-of-its-kind collaborative in Minnesota called the Twin Cities Spent Grain Co-Op is uniting a handful of breweries and one distillery to turn spent grain into baking flour. Many brewers typically sell or give away their spent grain (a byproduct of the brewing process) to farmers to feed to livestock. But as the number of American craft breweries has exploded, there aren’t enough farmers in geographic proximity to those breweries to use up all the grain. That’s where a food upcycling company called NETZRO saw an opportunity to make sure the grain isn't going to waste. Read more here.  How to make dye with excess food. It’s almost inevitable that gardeners will have more veggies than they know what to do with come harvest time. There are many ways to make sure they don't go to waste, but let us introduce you a creative, eco-conscious and dare we say “trendy” option for your garden surplus: using it as natural dye. Lindsay Campbell walks us through the steps of turning your excess harvest into clothing dye.  Meet this modern flower farmer. When Quilen Blackwell first moved to Chicago in 2011, he wanted to do something to help at-risk youth who were victims of their surroundings. After some thorough research, he figured he could do this through flowers. Blackwell launched Chicago Eco House, an organization that now hires at-risk youth in some of Chicago's lower-income neighborhoods to plant flowers in vacant lots. This past spring the flower farm quickly sold out of many of its bouquets in what was its first season. Read more about Blackwell's story here.   As always, we love hearing from you, so please send us an email at info@modfarmer.com or let your opinion be known in our comments section.

The role IoT has to play in green recovery

By Coen Janssen 11

How IoT technology can aid a green recovery after Covid.

Covid-19 has undoubtedly caused major global disruption to both businesses and the wider economy, but not all for the worse. There are, of course, negative repercussions of the pandemic with long-term economic and employment impacts forecast but there have also been some positive changes that have been brought about by this disruption such as the need for the recovery to be sustainable and green.

The various forms of lockdown across the world have had an extremely positive impact on our surrounding environments. The first most notable impact was perhaps a drop in air pollution levels in major cities globally as well as an overall restoration of nature. LA can now see its skyline while in Venice the lack of pollution in the canals has seen a return of wildlife such as swans and dolphins. These events have caused many to realize the extent of the damage that is being inflicted on the environment due to our everyday actions such as commuting. However, as restrictions are beginning to ease there is a greater pressure from consumers and public offices to build greener operations into recovery plans to ensure that all the positive progress made in lockdown is not lost within a matter of weeks of returning to ‘normal’. 

The UK already has a target of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 with some industries committing to an earlier deadline of 2030. Post-recovery lockdown presents an opportunity for businesses to test and roll out new operations and technology that will aid more sustainable business practices.

In particular the internet of things (IoT) provides wider opportunities for businesses to comply by social distancing measures, while also implementing sustainable solutions. IoT allows data to flow easily from anything to anyone and, although traditionally associated with smart home devices this technology opens up a huge opportunity for a wide range of businesses to become greener as they roll out their recovery plans.
