Retail and Wholesale Demand and Marketing Order Policy for Fresh Navel Oranges

Glenn Nelson and Tom H. Robinson

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1978, vol. 60, issue 3, 502-509

Abstract: The federal marketing order for fresh navel oranges appears to have been administered in early 1974 in a manner which restricted supplies to consumers, raised retail prices, and lowered total receipts of growers and packers. An examination of historical data and econometrically estimated parameters in wholesale and retail demand equations supports these conclusions. These concerns were central to a heated debate between the Cost of Living Council and the Navel Orange Administrative Committee.
