The Economics of HACCP: A Literature Review
... Therefore, in designing this study it is important to consider the complexity of the adoption process. Moreover, recent study on the impacts of HACCP such as that of Cao et al (2004) has helped to shape the framework of this study. ...
... We presented respondents with a list of motivations in adopting HACCP/RMP which have been suggested from the existing international literature (e.g. Henson et al, 2000;Cao et al, 2004). Respondents were asked to rank the importance of each motivation y r s Cummulative percentage of respondents on a 7-point scale. ...
... In general, the three highest ranked motivations are: (1) to meet legal requirement; (2) to access new overseas markets; and (3) to meet the needs of major customers. According to Cao et al (2004), motivations can be categorised into external and internal factors.

In New Zealand, the Animal Products Act 1999 requires that all animal product primary processing businesses must have a risk management programme (RMP) based on the principles of Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP). However, due to market access requirements, many primary food exporters have voluntarily adopted HACCP systems for food safety management since the 1990s. This paper studies the process of HACCP/RMP adoption and the transition from voluntary HACCP to mandatory RMP in New Zealand Meat Industry. The main issues explored are plants' motivations, implementation problems, costs and benefits associated with the implementation of HACCP/RMP. The paper concludes with implications for policy design and further research.
