Proceedings in System Dynamics and Innovation in Food Networks 2017. Pages 101-102., From production to consumption, palm oil is a global food chain facing various sustainability dimensions. The study focuses on Twitter social media communication strategy of world agri-food chain actors on sustainability of palm oil. The study focused on a content analysis of twitter messages of palm oil producers, agri-food manufacturers and retailers. Preliminary results show that palm oil producers aim at promoting public opinion’s positive image of palm oil. Food manufacturers and retailers instead limit their communication on reacting to consumers’ solicitations, such as questions, doubts or complaints on palm oil use.

Notes:
Paper presented at the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association annual meeting, Boston, Massachusetts, July 31-August 2, 2016., Analysis shows that incumbent firms in four food industries tend to price higher and advertise less to deter entry when potential entrants are more competitive in terms of potential market share. Industries in which incumbents adopt lower prices and higher advertising signal that there is great potential for profit and, therefore, entrants with moderate competitiveness are also able to enter the market.
