Abstract:

Based on the survey data of 636 pork sellers in three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Jinan, a bivariate Probit model was used to analyze the influencing factors of pork sellers' participation behavior in traceability system. It was found that the participation level of pork sellers in wholesale market and wet market was different. Only 28.62% of the pork sellers took part in the traceability system, and the pork sold by them had the “traceability”. So, the participation level needs to be substantially improved. At present, most pork sellers are young and middle-aged people, their education is generally low, and they have a relatively low level of awareness of the importance of pork traceability. The purchasing relationship, the years of sales, the sales profit, the sales format, the degree of attention, the punishment intensity, the monitoring intensity and the age significantly (P<0.1) affected the pork sellers' participation behavior. Therefore, it is proposed to strengthen the publicity of pork traceability system, to give appropriate rewards to pork sellers who standardize the participation behavior in traceability system, and to strengthen supervision of pork sellers by the government departments and market managers.

Key words: pork traceability system, participation behavior, sellers, bivariate Probit model
