create product equity: the case of IKB in the Netherlands”, in Wierenga B., van
Tilburg A., Grunert K., Steenkamp J.B. and Wedel M. (eds.), Agricultural
marketing and consumer behavior in a changing world, Kluwer Academic

so, how an IKB (integrated quality control) certification will add value to pork
