This paper first presents a state of the art of international and European public policies on food safety in agrifood supply chains. It also reviews initiatives set by private actors in this field. The analysis focuses on the economic effects resulting from the combination of these two approaches compared to their potential effects in terms of the reduction of sanitary risks faced by consumers. Starting from a critical review of the literature and from an analysis based on the new industrial economics tools, the authors show how, under certain conditions, the objective of safety in agrifood supply chains may be only partially achieved because of economic distortions arising from the combined effect of public policies and private standards.
L’articolo presenta uno stato dell’arte delle politiche internazionali ed europee e una rassegna delle iniziative implementate dagli operatori privati per la sicurezza sanitaria nelle filiere agroalimentari. L’analisi è incentrata sugli effetti economici della combinazione degli approcci pubblico e privato in comparazione con i potenziali effetti in termini di riduzione del rischio sanitario a cui è esposto il consumatore. Partendo da una rassegna critica della letteratura economica e da un’analisi basata sugli strumenti della Nuova Economia Industriale, gli autori mostrano come, a determinate condizioni, l’obiettivo della sicurezza sanitaria nella filiere agroalimentari possa essere soltanto parzialmente conseguito per effetto di distorsioni economiche derivanti dall’effetto combinato di politiche pubbliche e standard privati.
Keywords: Food safety governance, public policies, private standards, control systems, substitutability, economic impact.
