There is a lack of information regarding the barriers preventing Georgia seafood producers from taking advantage of a presumed market premium in inland markets. Using a two-pronged approach, we estimated the willingness to pay (WTP) for locally caught Georgia seafood (clams, crab, oysters, shrimp, and grouper) sold in either farmers markets or through community supported agriculture outlets in the Atlanta-Athens area. We then estimated the costs per pound associated with targeting inland markets using an enterprise budget framework. This cost data, combined with the WTP data, provides a more holistic picture of the potential profitability associated with transporting Georgia-caught seafood inland to in-state consumers. While our analysis suggests inland markets could be economically viable for shrimp, we also identified factors hindering the development of inland markets.

评估格鲁吉亚内陆海鲜市场的经济可行性：两管齐下的方法

缺乏关于阻止乔治亚州海鲜生产商利用假定的内陆市场市场溢价的障碍的信息。我们采用双管齐下的方法，估算了在农贸市场或通过社区支持的亚特兰大-雅典地区的农业网点出售的当地捕获的乔治亚州海鲜（蛤蜊、螃蟹、牡蛎、虾和石斑鱼）的支付意愿 (WTP) . 然后，我们使用企业预算框架估算了与瞄准内陆市场相关的每磅成本。该成本数据与 WTP 数据相结合，可以更全面地了解将乔治亚州捕获的海产品内陆运输到州内消费者的潜在盈利能力。虽然我们的分析表明内陆市场对虾在经济上是可行的，
