AI-generated Abstract

This research investigates the demand dynamics for fresh fruits and vegetables in the United States, particularly distinguishing between domestic and imported products. A differential demand system is applied to a dataset covering specific fruits and vegetables to analyze expenditure and price elasticities, while also testing the assumption of separability in demand between domestic and imported goods. The findings underscore significant relationships that could influence the market strategies of agricultural stakeholders.
