Transport costs as a barrier to United States exports of fresh fruit and vegtables to Canada.
Spak, Stanley W.

Transport costs as a barrier to United States exports of fresh fruit and vegtables to Canada. - 159 p.

Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 30-04, page: 1078.

Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of Manitoba (Canada), 1990.

This thesis tested the hypothesis that transport costs, beyond the physical cost of moving commodities, represent a barrier to U.S. exports of fresh fruit and vegetables to Canada. This institutional, or man-made barrier, was examined using data from a city pair--Winnipeg-Minneapolis/Fargo and regression analysis on a regional level.

520 $a This thesis tested the hypothesis that transport costs, beyond the physical cost of moving commodities, represent a barrier to U.S. exports of fresh fruit and vegetables to Canada. This institutional, or man-made barrier, was examined using data from a city pair--Winnipeg-Minneapolis/Fargo and regression analysis on a regional level.
520 $a Based on freight rate analysis for the Winnipeg-Minneapolis/Fargo traffic lane, this study concluded that transport costs do not contain any significant non-tariff barriers to U.S. exports of fresh fruit and vegetables to Canada. Regression analysis further supported this finding. Further research is required to determine if the conclusions from this thesis can be applied to other Canada-U.S. city pairs, Canadian refrigerated food exports to the United States, and other truck types.
520 $a This thesis also contains an analysis of the fresh fruit and vegetable truck haulers and their backhaul loads. In addition, it reviews the progress of the Motor Vehicle Transport Act 1987, which is scheduled to deregulate Canadian trucking over the 1988-1993 period. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
