Tytuł	Consumers’ Awareness on Organic Food: Case of Urban Sri Lanka
Title	Consumers’ Awareness on Organic Food: Case of Urban Sri Lanka
Słowa kluczowe	consumers’ awareness, organic food, regression analysis, urban consumer, Sri Lanka
Key words	consumers’ awareness, organic food, regression analysis, urban consumer, Sri Lanka
Abstrakt	The organic food market is rapidly expanding all over the world with the recent rise of concern in food safety and environmental protection. Thus, examining information about consumers’ awareness on organic food is one of the inspiring areas for producers and marketers to capture a greater market share successfully. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing the consumer awareness towards organic food products while addressing socio-demographic factors affecting consumer awareness on organic food, knowledge of consumers about organic food, and their purchasing pattern. A sample of 600 consumers was selected from the main cities of six urban districts in Sri Lanka for the study. Data were collected via a consumer survey using a pre-tested questionnaire, from November 2018 to May 2019. The data analysis was carried out using frequencies, percentages, and multiple linear regression analysis. According to the results, the majority of the respondents were married females. The results revealed that Sri Lankan consumers have a better awareness on organic food. The results of the regression analysis highlighted that the consumers’ awareness is significantly affected by factors such as gender, marital status, education, and monthly income. Although most respondents have a good level of awareness on organic food, their buying trend is at a lower level. The findings of the study play an important role in promoting the organic food market and are essential for food marketing planners, researchers, and policymakers to enhance the organic food industry in the country in the future.

Abstrakt	W artykule skupiono się na poszukiwaniu perspektyw wzrostu polskiego eksportu produktami rolno-spożywczymi z gospodarkami należącymi do Unii Europejskiej i będącymi najważniejszymi rynkami eksportowymi dla Polski w zakresie dóbr rolno-spożywczych. Zidentyfikowano grupy tych towarów, które charakteryzują się dodatnimi i ujemnymi wskaźnikami ujawnionych przewag komparatywnych oraz wskaźnikami bilansu handlowego. W badaniu zastosowano metodę opartą o macierz mapowania produktów.

Tytuł	Zwycięzcy i przegrani pandemii Covid-19: perspektywa globalna z uwzględnieniem gospodarki rolno-żywnościowej
Title	Winners and Losers from Covid-19 Pandemic: A Global Perspective Considering the Agri-Food Economy
Słowa kluczowe	kryzys Covid-19, biznes międzynarodowy, sektory gospodarki, epidemie chorób, globalizacja, gospodarka żywnościowa, siła robocza w sektorze rolno-spożywczym, dystrybucja kosztów i korzyści
Key words	Covid-19 crisis, international business, economic sectors, disease epidemics, globalization, food economy, agri-food labour force, cost-benefit distribution
Abstrakt	Światowa literatura na temat społeczno-ekonomicznych konsekwencji Covid-19 jest bogata i odnosi się do poszczególnych przedsiębiorstw i rynków, sektorów lub gałęzi gospodarki oraz gospodarek narodowych i globalnej. Niniejsze studium jest unikatowe, gdyż zawiera wszechstronne zestawienie informacji dotyczących podmiotów i sektorów gospodarki o znaczeniu globalnym lub międzynarodowym oraz grup społecznych z punktu widzenia tego, co nazywam „grą pandemiczną”, z jej określonymi implikacjami dla sektora rolno-żywnościowego. Ma ono na celu identyfikację rzeczywistych bądź potencjalnych zwycięzców i przegranych pandemii. Kategoria zwycięzców obejmuje aktorów, m.in. sektory gospodarki, w tym rolno-żywnościowy lub grupy ludzi, którzy wyjątkowo skorzystali bądź skorzystają na pandemii, wyraźnie poprawiając wyniki finansowe lub inne. Przegranymi są podmioty lub osoby, które poniosły nadzwyczajne koszty lub straty, pogorszyły wyniki lub prawdopodobnie w przyszłości staną przed takimi skutkami pandemii. Uwzględnione są również niektóre idee ekonomiczne. Artykuł powstał na podstawie przeglądu literatury naukowej i popularnej, raportów, doniesień prasowych oraz publicznie dostępnych danych, wspierających badania. Wykorzystano dedukcyjne metody wyjaśniania. Wyniki wskazują, że branża biofarmaceutyczna, wiodące korporacje technologiczne, udziałowcy międzynarodowych sieci detalicznych, globalne holdingi finansowe, podmioty dostarczające żywność i najbogatsi na świecie należą do wyjątkowo dobrze prosperujących w nowych warunkach życia i prowadzenia działalności, a tym samym można uznać ich za zwycięzców obecnego kryzysu. W odróżnieniu, ofiary zdrowotne Covid-19, sektor energetyki i transportu lotniczego oraz zatrudnieni w przetwórstwie spożywczym, fatalnie dotknięci pandemią, są egzemplifikacją przegranych. Przedstawieni zwycięzcy i pokrzywdzeni przez Covid-19 reprezentują różne sfery życia gospodarczego, jednak w mniejszym lub większym stopniu są powiązani z rolnictwem i przetwórstwem spożywczym. Badanie potwierdza, że funkcjonowanie i kondycja tych ostatnich zależą od sytuacji innych sektorów i różnych rynków oraz od zakłóceń międzynarodowych rozprzestrzenianych w warunkach otwartej gospodarki. Artykuł może zainteresować tak społeczność naukową, jak i decydentów w różnych obszarach polityki gospodarczej i społecznej.
Abstract	The worldwide literature on the socio-economic impacts of the Covid-19 is extensive, covering individual enterprises and markets, economic sectors or branches, or the national and global economy. The current study is unique as it is a comprehensive compilation of the relevant evidence regarding economic entities and sectors of global or international significance and the societal groups from an angle of so-called "pandemic game" with some implications for the agri-food economy. Its main aim is to identify the actual and potential winners and losers of the pandemic. The winners’ notion covers actors, e.g. economic sectors or people groups those extraordinarily benefited or will benefit from a pandemic, extremely upgrading their financial or other performance. In turn, the losers include individuals or entities that incurred unusual costs or losses, worsened their results, or probably will face such pandemic consequences in the future. Some economic ideas also are considered. The article is based on the scientific, popular and grey literature as well as publicly available data to support research. The research uses deductive explanation methods. Results show that the biopharmaceutical industry, leading digital companies, shareholders in international retail chains, global financial holdings, food delivery companies, and the World’s richest people are among those who thrived exceptionally well in the new living and doing business conditions and can therefore be admitted as the current crisis’ winners. Adversely, the coronavirus victims, energy and air transport sectors, and food processing labour, all of them being harmfully affected by the pandemic, are examples of losers. Albeit the presented winners and losers represent various spheres of economic life, they are more or less related to the agriculture and food processing industry. The study confirms that the functioning and condition of the latter depend on the situation of other economic sectors, agents, and markets, and international disturbances spreading within an open economy. The paper can be of interest both to the research community, and decision-makers in different economic and social policy areas.
