ECONOMIC COSTS. ‌ All chefs expressed economic costs as being the biggest challenge in sourcing food that is local and/or sustainable. The economic burden falls onto all players of the supply chain, not just the chefs who do the purchasing. Over 80% of the chefs discussed the diffusion of economic costs. Chefs expressed how it is expensive for a farmer to follow a certain set of production practices. They explained how one must consider a variety of elements that go into the price of 57 Participant II, interview by Xxxxxx Xxxx, January 28 2020, interview 7. 58 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, “Explore with a Localvore,” New York State Conservationist 62, no. 6 (June 2008): 2-6. certain products, such as the costs of feed, transportation, time, and labor. For instance, organic feed costs more than nonorganic feed and raising an animal over a longer period time builds more expenses for a farmer. Consequently, a farmer needs to charge a higher price for a superior product to be able to have a financially sustainable business. This increase in costs then falls onto the chef and the restaurant. Subsequently, the chef must pass this cost onto the customer. When reviewing the obstacles chefs encounter in dealing with higher costs, Participant III expressed, “So if you do the math in the food costing of it you'd almost have to sell that chicken for close to $50 dollars. Now, the average consumer, they think you're just crazy. They're like, ‘No way. How can you justify me buying a $40 dollar, a $50-dollar chicken when I can go to the store and I can buy one for whatever, 99 cents?’ I don't even know how much they are in, $2 a pound maybe.” 59 This quote illustrates the transmission of costs across the different players in a local supply chain, from farmer, to chef, to customer. A chef may not find it reasonable to buy a more expensive product if the guest is not willing to pay a premium price for it. Another participant voiced that fine-dining restaurants face less difficulty with higher costs because customers are expecting to pay a higher price than people who go to a casual restaurant. For example, Participant I said that at her restaurant, which serves fast-casual Italian food, the hardest part of maintaining the local philosophy is cost. At her other restaurant which is fine-dining, she does not face as much of a challenge because people are expecting to pay a premium. Another chef, Participant IX explained that costs are the greatest barrier to his restaurant serving local and sustainable food...
ECONOMIC COSTS. ‌ Economic costs were the first structural barrier identified by participants in attempting to source food locally. Chefs expressed that the price of sourcing food products from farmers that follow a certain set of production standards is more expensive, especially for meat, fish, and grains; they face less difficulty in being able to pay for sustainably grown fruits and vegetables. For a farmer to follow a certain set of sustainable production practices it is often expensive. Chefs articulated that one of the greatest challenges with higher food costs, is that they need to increase the price of some of their dishes, and customers may become upset by this. With the rise of fast food restaurants and access to cheap options, consumers have become comfortable with paying less money for food, and as a result may not find it justifiable to pay a premium price for a meal.
ECONOMIC COSTS. 3. Costs associated with the subprojects are drawn from their corresponding feasibility studies.3 Costs are valued in local currency, measured in 2016 prices. The shadow exchange rate factor conversion factor used to derive economic values of the subprojects from their financial values is 1.08, and this ratio is assumed constant over the period of analysis.
