Identification of Economic Incentives Directed Toward Food Safety Practices: The Case of Turkish Meat Processing Firms

Gıda güvenliği konseptleri, firma düzeyinde gıda işlenmesinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin batısında yer alan Aydın ilindeki et işleme firmalarında, gıda güvenliği uygulamalarına yönelik olarak ekonomik teşvik edici unsurları tanımlamaktadır. Survey çalışması, tam sayım yöntemi kullanılarak, 26 et işleme firmasının tamamı ile görüşülerek yapılmış olup, sorular firma düzeyinde belirli bir derinlik ile hazırlanmıştır. Değerlendirmeler, günlük olarak gerçekleştirilen et işleme kapasiteleri esas alınarak yapılmıştır: 0.001-0.50, 0.51-1.0 ve 1.1-3.0 ton işleme kapasitesine sahip işletmeler sırasıyla, küçük, orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmeler olarak değerlendirilmiştir. İşletmelerde birçok iyi uygulama gerçekleştirilmesine rağmen, “asla” cevapları, küçük ölçekli işletmelerde daha yoğun olarak bulunmaktadır. Bu işletmeler için, daha fazla teşvik edici unsurların vurgulanmasının gerektiği tespit edilmiştir.

Gıda Güvenliği Uygulamalarına Yönelik Olarak Ekonomik Teşvik Edici Unsurların Tanımlanması: Türk Et İşleme Firmaları Örnek Olayı

Food safety concepts have a major impact on food processing at the firm level. This study introduces economic incentives intended for food safety practices in meat processing plants in Aydin, western Turkey. Survey studies were employed using a whole count method with 26 meat processing firms, and questions were prepared for in-depth firm level interviews. The evaluations were accomplished on the basis of meat processing capacities per day: 0.001-0.50, 0.51-1.0 and 1.1-3.0 tones, classified as small, middle and large scale firms, respectively. Although many good practices were carried out in the plants, the “never” responses were found to be more prevalent in small scale enterprises. It was found to be necessary to stress more vigorous enforceable incentives for these businesses.
