| description | Public procurement stands for a substantial part of the total food consumption in Sweden. The majority of the procured food is today imported and according to market trends it’s intended to stay that way. Imported food is favoured for locally produced due to price pressure. Consequently domestic pork farmers have declined by 25 percent during the last twenty years. This issue has unquestionably stimulated a public opinion of an increase in locally produced food. The main purpose of this paper is to find if there are socioeconomic incentives for public kitchens to purchase only locally produced pork. A cost benefit analysis will be used to monetize relevant costs and benefits. The result shows significant large economic incentives for public procurement to consist of locally produced pork. The results are however sensitive to several assumptions and should therefore be interpret with caution. |

The majority of the procured food is today imported and according to market trends it’s intended to stay that way. Imported food is favoured for locally produced due to price pressure. Consequently domestic pork farmers have declined by 25 percent during the last twenty years. This issue has unquestionably stimulated a public opinion of an increase in locally produced food. The main purpose of this paper is to find if there are socioeconomic incentives for public kitchens to purchase only locally produced pork. A cost benefit analysis will be used to monetize relevant costs and benefits. The result shows significant large economic incentives for public procurement to consist of locally produced pork. The results are however sensitive to several assumptions and should therefore be interpret with caution. Offentlig upphandling står för en betydande del av den totala livsmedelskonsumtionen i Sverige. Merparten av den upphandlade maten importeras och enligt marknadstrender är det avsett att förbli så. Den utländska importen av fläskkött föredras över svenskproducerat framförallt på grund av stark prispress. Följaktligen har andelen grisbönder i Sverige minskat med 25 procent under de senaste tjugo åren. Detta har utan tvekan stimulerat en opinion för ökad lokalproducerad mat i de kommunala köken. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det finns ekonomiska incitament för offentliga kök att handla endast lokalproducerat fläskkött. Som analysmetod används en kostnadsnyttoanalys för att värdesätta nyttor i monetära mått och se om dessa överstiger kostnaderna. Resultatet visar ett starkt ekonomiskt incitament för offentlig upphandling att bestå av lokalproducerat fläskkött. Resultaten är dock känsliga för flera antaganden av den reella prissättningen och bör därför tolkas med viss försiktighet. 2014-07-04 First cycle, G2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/6978/1/dahlkvist_e_140702.pdf Dahlkvist, Emma, 2014.
