Provedor de dados: Informação Tecnológica em Agricultura (Infoteca-e)
Autores: SILVA, F. de A. C.; ROSA NETO, C.; ARAUJO, L. V. de; MOREIRA, P.
A produção de leite figura como uma das mais importantes atividades da agropecuária brasileira. Além de sua importância alimentar, o produto é o ponto inicial que move uma cadeia produtiva bastante complexa, a qual envolve vários setores por meio de diversas operações, abrangendo desde aspectos primários, como a criação de bovinos, até a fabricação, distribuição e comercialização dos produtos lácteos. No tocante à eficiência da cadeia produtiva do leite na Amazônia, há muito o que ser feito no que se refere a melhorias. Possíveis incrementos de produção e produtividade, associados à redução dos custos de produção, trarão como consequência o aumento da rentabilidade dos agricultores familiares e ganhos de escala no âmbito das indústrias de laticínios,...

Autores: WADT, L. H. de O.; SILVA, M. P. da.
A castanheira tornou-se uma árvore tão importante que, apesar de possuir uma madeira de excelente qualidade para a construção, seu corte é proibido por lei. O principal produto dessa árvore é a semente, conhecida como castanha-do-brasil, castanha-do-pará ou castanha-da-amazônia. Nos últimos anos, a castanha-do-brasil tem sido bastante recomendada na laimentação humana devido ao seu alto valor proteico e também aos elevados níveis de ácidos graxos, ômega 6, vitamina E e selênio.

Castanha-do-brasil: cadeia produtiva se destaca no agronegócio acreano.
Provedor de dados: Informação Tecnológica em Agricultura (Infoteca-e)
Autores: BAYMA, M. M. A.
Considera-se que a cadeia produtiva da castanha-do-brasil do Acre, dentro do período analisado, passou por mudanças estruturantes as quais contribuíram para que assumisse a segunda posição dentro desse segmento no cenário nacional em relação ao volume produzido. Mesmo com as restrições sanitárias e financeiras atualmente existentes no mercado externo, conseguiu se inserir no mercado interno, o qual tem registrado crescimento contínuo em volume e valor faturado com a comercialização em maior escala da castanha-do-brasil sem casca, agregando maior valor ao produto final. E, por fim, espera-se que diante desse cenário favorável, o extrativista possa ser o maior beneficiário dos ganhos registrados recentemente.

A política de garantia de preços mínimos para o pinhão
Provedor de dados: PFB - Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira
Autores: Ribeiro, Rodrigo Medeiros; Santos, Anadalvo Juazeiro dos; Bittencourt, Alexandre.
O pinhão, semente da espécie Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze, é muito presente nas mesorregiões Sudeste e Centro Sul do estado do Paraná, sendo considerado um dos principais produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNM) do estado. O comércio de pinhão ocorre de maneira irregular, pois os produtores não têm dimensão exata das mudanças de preços e de como devem alocar seus recursos. Esse processo ocasiona perda, pela diferença dos custos de produção do pinhão e de venda pelos produtores. A política de garantia de preços mínimos (PGPM) consiste em um sistema de preços antecipados estabelecidos pelo Governo Federal cuja função é reduzir ou transferir para a sociedade a incerteza de preços com que se defrontam os produtores no plantio e na colheita.

Autores: Abate-Kassa,   Getachew; Peterson,   H. Christopher.
The paper examines relationships and linkages between the conventional supply chain actors (wholesalers and retailers) and local food producers based on a study conducted in Southeast Michigan. A case study approach was employed to examine chain actors’ operations and to explore their roles, experiences and perceptions about local foods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the owners and managers of eleven retailers and six wholesalers. The study found differences in local food perceptions, buying experiences and perceived benefits and risks associated with local food sourcing activities. The study also identified some competition between local independent food retailers and alternative market outlets. The major implication of the findings is...

Supply Chain Issues in China’s Milk Adulteration Incident
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gale,   H. Frederick, Jr.; Hu,   Dinghuan.
China’s melamine milk adulteration crisis highlights the challenges that arise as large well-capitalized companies procure raw materials from a diffused supply chain of scattered small farmers and milk collection stations. As milk prices climbed sharply in 2007 and companies branched out into new territories, intense competition for raw milk supplies strengthened incentives to water down and adulterate milk.  Effective food safety measures must account for incentives, the distribution of market power in the supply chain and market dynamics.

Food safety problems such as the BSE and dioxin crises focused attention on traceability systems and the certification of such systems. This study analyzes the status and perspectives of traceability systems and certification schemes, and reviews their potential costs and benefits. Results indicate that traceability and certification in meat supply chains comprise a very dynamic area with an increasing impact.  Necessary transparency, control of livestock epidemics, increasing due diligence, and a declining role for governments are critical factors. Findings also reveal there is a general focus on the technical characteristics of traceability and certification, and there is a lack of economic considerations. Therefore, specific topics are emphasized for an...

Investigating alternative governance systems for the South African mohair supply chain
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jordaan,   Daniel du Plessis Scheepers; Kirsten,   Johann F.
Mohair is an exclusive natural animal fibre with niche market appeal. It is, however, questionable whether it is inherently suited to a commodity-based marketing system in a marketing environment that requires marketing systems to convey far more information than commodity-based systems do. Historically, mohair has been considered a commodity and the marketing system for mohair has been structured accordingly. It is, however, argued that, the exchange between mohair growers and the buyers of greasy mohair requires increased levels of coordination to govern the exchange in a transaction costs efficient manner. The inefficiencies created by an inappropriate or incomplete marketing system for South African mohair are expected to lead to a loss of consumer...

Autores: Roselli,   Luigi; Casieri,   Arturo; De Gennaro,   Bernardo; Medicamento,   Umberto.
The world olive oil market is characterized by a growing price competition on the supply side. Economy of scales and low production costs from both traditional and more recent producing Countries determine an increasing pressure on European Union (EU) olive farmers that suffer lower revenues. Product differentiation, driven by higher quality and consumer expectations, is one of the most powerful competitive strategies that EU farmers may adopt to face this challenge. Geographical indications established by the EU (PDO and PGI) can be successful marketing levers to ensure olive oil differentiation based on high quality standards and geographical origin of production. These EU quality certification schemes were designed to respond to consumer demand, to...

Market-Driven International Fish Supply Chains: The Case of Nile Perch from Africa's Lake Victoria
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Thorpe,   Andy; Bennett,   Elizabeth.
This paper analyses the organisation of the post-harvest Nile perch supply chain centred on Lake Victoria in East Africa to test the practical relevance of the market-driven supply chain thesis proposed by Folkerts and Koehorst (1998). It finds that while international consumer demand, particularly in demanding improved quality standards according to HACCP principles, is having profound local organisational ramifications, the evolving supply chain is presently best characterised as being a hybrid one – neither exclusively production, nor marketdriven.

Great changes have taken place in China’s agricultural and food markets in the past several decades. However, the impact of the transformation brought by modern supply chains on the welfare of farmers in China is unclear. This paper attempts to understand whether or not the recent changes in China’s food economy have contributed to an improvement in the welfare of small, poor farmer. It also seeks to identify whether or not the main marketing institutions in China’s horticultural economy are consistent with a system that can deliver food safety. To achieve our objectives, we use a data set collected in 2007 by ourselves which includes representative tomato- and cucumber-production farmers in Shandong Province. We use the information from the survey to...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ameseder,   Christoph; Haas,   Rainer; Fritz,   Melanie; Schiefer,   Gerhard.
The purpose of this study is to assess and evaluate the most important risks in selected European and international food chains from the perspective of the buying company. The primary objective is to identify the “non-acceptable” risks in terms of damage potential and likelihood of occurrence of value chains in the sectors grain, meat, fruit and vegetable, and olive oil. Data was collected by each partner of the European research project “e-trust” (FP6-CT-2006-043056) by conducting 81 qualitative expert interviews with business leaders in Europe (Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Spain) as well as in Brazil, Turkey, and the USA. The study focuses on a wider supply chain or network perspective for the risk assessment. Methodically the assessed...

Karpography: a generic concept of quality for chain analysis and knowledge transfer in supply chains
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McRoberts,   Neil.
As with other areas of science, supply chain analysis suffers from the fact that practitioners of its different component disciplines often find it exchange results and methods of analysis. For fresh produce supply chains a key issue is how to unite the elegant mathematical work on the physiology of quality change with the more qualitative methods of social science that are applied to the analysis supply chain management. This paper explores the possibility of utilising approaches which are widely used in demography to unify concepts of quality modelling and supply chain efficiency in the fresh produce sector. A key feature of demographic (or karpographic) models is that they use the average properties of individuals to model the behaviour of cohorts (or...

Does vertical integration reduce investment reluctance in production chains? An agent-based real options approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Balmann,   Alfons; Musshoff,   Oliver; Larsen,   Karin.
This paper uses an agent-based real options approach to analyze whether stronger vertical integration reduces investment reluctance in pork production. A competitive model in which firms identify optimal investment strategies by using genetic algorithms is developed. Two production systems are compared: a perfectly integrated system and a system in which firms produce either the intermediate product (piglets) or the final product (pork). Simulations show that the spot market solution and the perfectly integrated system lead to a very similar production dynamics even with limited information on production capacities. The results suggest that, from a pure real options perspective, spot markets are not significantly inferior to perfectly integrated supply...

Dairy supply chain restructuring and its impact on farmers' revenues in Poland
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Falkowski,   Jan; Malak-Rawlikowska,   Agata; Milkczarek-Andrzejewska,   D.
Supply chain restructuring and its impact on farmers’ situation have become the subject of vast interest among agricultural economists. However, there have been relatively few studies trying to quantitatively asses this issue. This paper analyses the impact of supply chain modernisation on dairy farmers in Poland. It is shown that joining the modern marketing channel positively affects farmers’ revenues. The decision to enter the modern channel is crucially dependent on access to funds and facilitated by having larger cow herds.

Autores: Zhang,   Kejing; Huang,   Chaoyang.
On the basis the elementary theory of supply chain management, the features and problems in the supply-chain management of flowers in Yunnan Province are analyzed. The problems include poor image of flowers caused by low-end package, imperfect supply-chain structure, and weak processing section after harvesting flowers, hard to launch the cold chain transportation and inadequate awareness of enterprises on consumers. The countermeasures are put forward, which include perfecting various kinds of supply chain structure; intensifying the information system management of flowers in Yunnan Province; developing the cold chain logistics and cultivating and supporting the third-party logistics of flower industry in Yunnan Province.

Top Agro (TA - not its real name) is a small crop protection start-up operating in the European Union. In a relatively short period of time TA has been able to secure a reasonable profit margin and build a solid niche in the Italian crop protection market. The driving force in their success is the professional expertise of the two owners, their knowledge of the domestic market, and the highly flexible business model they’ve developed. Chemicals are sourced either in the Far East via a Hong Kong based commercial partner or purchased directly from other European domestic suppliers. TA is responsible for the formulation and packaging of the finished product, which is then distributed in the domestic Italian market. Although TA is now profitable, further sales...

The competition is no longer between companies to become among chains. A critical point in this new paradigm is the management of these chains. From there arises the great interest in concept for management of supply chain. Coordinating the activities of the chain has been complex due to the large number of activities and the interdependence among them. One has searched for a systemic, multidisciplinary and inter entrepreneurs to contribute in a management proposal. It was made a revision of supply chain concepts, strategies of operations, quality and filière. The analysis of this referential indicates the possibility of minimizing the restrictions identified in literature. Based on this analysis a framework of management of chain supply was proposed....

RATIONALIZING TIME SERIES DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COW-CALF AND FEEDER RETURNS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhao,   Huan; Hennessy,   David A.
This paper tries to justify the observation of different return patterns in the upstream and downstream sectors of US beef production. It builds a dynamic rational expectation model separating the cow-calf and feeding sector with the former sector being the residual claimer. The model shows that the cow-calf operation has positively autocorrelated return pattern while the feeding operation return only reflects random shock. Empirical study shows that 85.4% of the Ricardian rent is passed through to the upstream sector, and the downstream sector can only claim the unexpected return resulting from random shocks.

The cost of segregating GM canola: A case study
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hatwell,   Bronwyn; Pluske,   Johanna M.
The Gene Technology Regulator's approval of Bayer CropScience's genetically modified (GM) canola variety, InVigor, and Monsanto's Roundup Ready, means that the commercial planting of Australia's first GM food crop is imminent. Under such circumstances, for Australia to continue marketing non-GM canola and comply with worldwide labelling requirements segregation must be implemented. This study investigates the cost effectiveness of three possible segregation methods. In considering each of these methods the increase in total grain handling cost due to segregation is expected to be between 5 and 9 per cent, or $1.35/tonne and $2.70/tonne. Such an increase is comparable with segregation costs reported in current Canadian literature.

A MODEL OF INFORMATION AND I.T. ADOPTION IN FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mohtadi,   Hamid; Kinsey,   Jean D.
Evidence from the Food Supply chain suggests that food retailers often exhibit a reluctance to share information with their suppliers even when this benefits both parties. For example, inventory coordination and reduced costs may be realized by adopting appropriate supply chain management technologies such as cooperative planning, forecasting, and replenishment. This behavior is explained by viewing information as a strategic asset and modeling information exchange and the corresponding adoption of information technologies and analysis as a strategic game, i.e., an economic model where food retailers and their suppliers operate with uncertainty.  The game is based on stylized facts from the food industry. Some key results from the game model are: (a) under...

COORDINATION IN THE UNITED STATES HOG/PORK INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schrader,   Lee F.
This contribution to a multi-country study of vertical coordination in the hog/pork sector provides a primarily descriptive analysis of coordination of the U.S.  hog/pork industry. A common framework of review and analysis is used to facilitate comparison  of the industries in Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, and the U.S. The concepts of chain  management are used to reach some conclusions regarding the U.S. industry to compete in world markets. Parallel coordination systems are identified. Lack of trust is found to limit development of closer coordination and to limit communication of users' preferences upstream in the sector.

Autores: O'Reilly,   Seamus; McCarthy,   Mary.
This paper provides a brief review of the Irish beef market during the 1990s. It sets out to identify the key factors influencing beef consumption during this period and reviews industry/ government response to consumer needs. A number of factors influencing beef consumption are identified, including: price, safety, eating quality and health. In addition to price competitiveness, industry/government response has focused on safety and quality systems. Safety emerged as an important factor during the 1990s and various traceability, quality assurance schemes and supply chain partnerships were established to reassure the consumer. By the end of the decade such systems are a pre-requisite to market entry and increasingly the focus is on using these systems to...

Autores: Zhang,   Xiaoyong; Qiu,   Huanguang; Huang,   Zhurong.
This study describes how governance mechanisms were formed that link small-scale apple farmers in China with export markets. These institutional innovations have improved the efficiency of price transmission and generated higher profit margins for various actors in the supply chain, in particular for small-scale farmers. Chinese apple exports are highly coordinated through ongoing long term loyal network relationships and vertical integration. Relevant policy implications and further challenges are discussed in the conclusion.

This paper identifies a new way of sugar utilization for food industry supplying: the production of specific ingredients. It analyzes the occurrence of association among sugar mills and sugar products manufacturers in the context of productive deregulation and market globalization in the second half of the 90´s. The manufacturers of specific ingredients (sugar products) established associations and joint-ventures with sugar mills in order to guarantee sugar supplying. An important consequence of this process was the internationalization of the section of sugarcane second (and first) agricultural processing by means of those strategic alliances. These companies have the knowledge of productive processes of specific ingredients (based on biotechnology)...

Autores: Glover,   Jane.
The sustainability of the dairy supply chain is a widely debated topic in the industry. The purpose of this paper is to explore farmer behaviour in response to diminishing returns and investigates the possible long-term implications of low returns, identified by farming families. The paper argues that, sustained declines in margins, coupled with other structural changes in the industry, will eventually lead to an exodus of small family farms. A qualitative methodology ensures in-depth data were collected over a five year period. The results indicate that farmers and their families are concerned over the reduced margins for their produce, with many smaller farms forced to subsidies the business with alternative sources of income. Farmers also raise concerns...

A NEW STRUCTURE FOR AGRICULTURE: A REVOLUTION FOR RURAL AMERICA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Drabenstott,   Mark.
U.S. agriculture is undergoing a tidal wave of change in its structure. A shift to supply chains and away from commodities and commodity markets is the hallmark of this new wave. The new agriculture of the 21st century will bring with it a new geography that may be nothing short of a revolution for rural America. Supply chains will tend to concentrate activity geographically and change the local economic dynamic where they do locate. Finally, the tide of change in agriculture's structure means a whole new slate of policy issues. Concentration, market access, and the delivery mechanism for government support all become bigger concerns with supply chains. But perhaps the biggest policy challenge looming ahead is addressing rural America's economic...

This paper examines the influence of agri-food supply chains on the sustainability-related activities and decisions of Scottish farmers, as well as the treatment of sustainability issues by food processors and retailers themselves. It is based on 8 whole chain case studies covering some of Scotland‘s major agricultural products. The cases identify differing levels of understanding and activities related to sustainability, but widespread acknowledgement that sustainability involves the development of chains within which all parties can achieve acceptable profits. Indeed, collaborative supply chains, which seek improved economic performance, frequently assist environmental and social sustainability. The main drivers of sustainability are found to be the cost...

Since over the last twenty years the reduction of trade barriers, the increasing liberalisation, the advancement in ICT have determined a growth in the horizontal and vertical competition among firms in the chain. Therefore, today more than ever they are pressured to develop appropriate strategies in order to become more competitive (Montgomery and Porter, 1993; Grant, 1996; Porter, 1996). However, firms nowadays no longer compete as independent entities, but as chains (Fearne, 1998; Van der Vorst et al., 1998; Sahay, 2003; Green and Inman, 2005; Green et al., 2006; Hult et al., 2007; Ketchen and Hult, 2007; Sezen, 2008) and consequently, the dynamic and mutually dependent character of relations in these chains cause a challenge for these firms towards the...

Retailer-led Regulation of Food Safety : Back to Spot Markets?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Giraud-Heraud,   Eric; Hammoudi,   Abdelhakim; Soler,   Louis-Georges.
At the end of the 1990s European retailers had significantly contributed to restructuring fresh agricultural product food chains (meat, fruit and vegetables), and had turned away from spot markets in order to create their own supply chains, based on private technical requirements and verification systems usually managed from within the firm. However, over the last few years a second type of system has appeared, as the range of standards adopted by retailers has been broadened to include generic standards common to several retailers. A telling example of this new approach is provided by the EUREPGAP protocol. In this paper we propose a theoretical analysis of this new procedure and its possible impacts.

REPUTATIONS, MARKET STRUCTURE, AND THE CHOICE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carriquiry,   Miguel A.; Babcock,   Bruce A.
Participants in a supply chain of agricultural value-added products face significant challenges. Many of the costly distinctive traits are difficult (if not impossible) to observe even after consumption. A complicating factor, addressed here, is that in some circumstances delivered quality can only be imperfectly learned and/or affected stochastically by producers. In order for markets for these goods to arise, firms touting the quality of the product need to be trusted. In response to these challenges, new (and diverse) quality assurance systems (QASs) that facilitate the acquisition and flow of information about agricultural and food products are being put in place. A repeated-purchases model is developed to explore the fundamental economic factors that...

In the past decade, the industry suffered from the interrelated issues of unreliable quality and intense price competition. Even though both the government and supply chain stakeholders are aware of the problems, there is a need to look at the issues from a supply chain perspective and new ways of managing the melon supply chains are to be explored. This paper analysed the melon supply chain in western China in the areas of logistical efficiency and supply chain relationship management. The results of the analysis offer insights for improving the efficiency of the melon supply chain and the competitiveness...

Autores: Trautman,   Dawn; Goddard,   Ellen W.; Nilsson,   Tomas K.H.
In light of recent food safety crises and international trade concerns associated with food or animal associated diseases, traceability has once again become important in the minds of public policymakers, business decision makers, consumers and special interest groups. This study reviews studies on traceability, government regulation and consumer behaviour, provide case studies of current traceability systems and a rough breakdown of various costs and benefits of traceability. This report aims to identify gaps that may currently exist in the literature on traceability in the domestic beef supply chain, as well as provide possible directions for future research into said issue. Three main conclusions can be drawn from this study. First, there is a lack of a...

How Retail Beef and Bread Prices Respond to Changes in Ingredient and Input and Costs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Roeger,   Edward; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
The extent to which cost changes pass through a vertically organized production process depends on the value added by each producer in the chain as well as a number of other organizational and marketing factors at each stage of production. Using 36 years of monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics price indices data (1972-2008), we model pass-through behavior for beef and bread, two retail food items with different levels of processing. Both the farm-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail price responses are modeled to allow for the presence of structural breaks in the underlying long-term relationships between price series. Broad differences in price behavior are found not only between food categories (retail beef prices respond more to farm-price changes than do...

Prospects for a European Animal Welfare Label from the German Perspective: Supply Chain Barriers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Franz,   Annabell; von Meyer,   Marie; Spiller,   Achim.
The Federal Government of Germany as well as the European Commission are discussing the establishment of an animal welfare label. This label should enable consumers to make a conscious purchasing decision on animal welfare products. Various studies show that many consumers (in Germany around 20 %) prefer products produced under animal friendly conditions. However, the supply of such products is limited. The following study examines the source of this discrepancy by way of an action‐based analytical approach and identifies different barriers within the supply chain that prevent the establishment of a market segment for animal welfare products. Although consumer demand will be decisive for long‐term success, first of all the stakeholders of the supply chain...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pal,   Suresh; Singh,   Harbir; Mathur,   Prasoon.
This paper examines the performance of the Indian seed system in the context of high volume, low value seed, using the case studies of potato and groundnut. In theory, public sector should be able to address seed needs of farmers growing these crops. However, the ability of the public sector is constrained by a number of institutional and technical factors, and farmers largely depend upon traditional sources of seed. The traditional sources meet more than two-thirds of the total seed demand , and the rest is met by the formal seed system, mainly public seed agencies. Most of the farmers buy fresh seed for quality reasons, and only 12-15 percent farmers purchase seed to change variety. In potato, technological innovation provided options to enhance...

Can supply chain's coordination mechanisms include small holders? Insight from an empirical work in Costa Rica.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Faure,   Guy; D'Hotel,   Elodie Maitre; le Coq,   Jean-Francois; Saenz,   Fernando.
Small holders' agriculture is currently facing new stakes due to State's withdrawal from agricultural support and to higher market requests for producing agricultural products. Different coordination mechanisms can be observed inside the supply chains involving farmers, farmers' organizations, and others stakeholders. They depend on the nature of the product, the characteristics of the stakeholders involved, the technical specifications related to the transactions, and the institutional environment. Relying on a comparative case study methodology, the paper analyzes the consequences of different coordination mechanisms on inclusion or exclusion of small farmers in the northern region of Costa Rica. Market coordination could be an efficient way to integrate...

Relationships Between Food Processors and Traders in Hungary
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Stauder,   Marta.
During the past years the market share of trade chains has increased substantially in Hungarian food commerce. The concentration of food commerce and the increasing presence of international and national trade chains can be observed in Hungary as well. It is generally true that small and middle-sized food trading enterprises are not competitive compared to large trade chains. However, this fact does not mean that their reason for existence or their support is questionable. The former system of relations between food commerce and food industry has undergone radical changes due to the expansion of food chains. Due to the changes, requirements towards food industry have grown, food industry has to face fundamentally new mentality and concepts. In conclusion...

Reputations, Market Structure, and the Choice of Quality Assurance Systems in the Food Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carriquiry,   Miguel A.; Babcock,   Bruce A.
A repeated-purchases model is developed to explore the fundamental economic factors that lie behind the choice of different quality assurance systems and their associated degrees of stringency by firms. Differences in the quality discoverability of a sought-after attribute, market structure, attractiveness of a market, nature of reputations, and the value placed in the future are among the factors contributing to the implementation of widely diverse systems across participants in different markets. Close attention is paid to the role of reputations in providing the incentives for firms to deliver high-quality goods. We model three different scenarios— - monopoly, duopoly with firm-specific reputations, and duopoly with industry-wide reputations— - and...

REPUTATION, QUALITY OBSERVABILITY, AND THE CHOICE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carriquiry,   Miguel A.; Babcock,   Bruce A.
Participants in a supply chain of agricultural value-added products face significant challenges. Many of the costly distinctive traits desired by consumers are difficult (if not impossible) to observe even after consumption. A complicating factor, addressed here, is that in some circumstances delivered quality can only be imperfectly learned and/or affected stochastically by producers. Hence, both symmetric and asymmetric informational imperfections may be present. In order for markets for these classes of goods to arise, firms touting the quality of the product need to be trusted. A repeated-purchases model is developed to explore the fundamental economic factors that lie behind the choice of different quality assurance systems and their associated...

A Consumer-oriented Study of the South African Beef Value Chain
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Labuschagne,   Anita; Louw,   Andre; Ndanga,   Leah Z.B.
The South African beef industry, like many other South African supply chains, is challenged by the increased complexity and demand brought about by globalization, increased volumes and competition, shortage of skilled staff and pressures to meet changing customer needs. The power has shifted from the supply side to the consumer. The consumer has been empowered by greater knowledge. Consumer needs are changing. A combination of these two facts implies that not only the retailer, but also the supply chain as a whole must make sure that it is aligned to deliver customer value, in order to ensure sustainable competitiveness and survival, manage risks and ensure acceptable returns. Competition today is based on competing supply chains. The focus of this study...

Autores: Leat,   Philip M.K.; Lamprinopoulou-Kranis,   Chrysa; Revoredo-Giha,   Cesar; Kupiec-Teahan,   Beata.
This paper examines the influence of agri-food supply chains on the sustainability-related activities and decisions of Scottish farmers, as well as the treatment of sustainability issues by food processors and retailers themselves. It is based on 8 whole chain case studies covering some of Scotland’s major agricultural products. The cases identify differing levels of understanding and activities related to sustainability, but widespread acknowledgement that sustainability involves the development of chains within which all parties can achieve acceptable profits. Indeed, collaborative supply chains, which seek improved economic performance, frequently assist environmental and social sustainability. The main drivers of sustainability are found to be the cost...

Dynamics of Price Transmission in the Presence of a Major Food Safety Shock: Impact of H5N1 Avian Influenza on the Turkish Poultry Sector
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Saghaian,   Sayed H.; Ozertan,   Gokhan; Spaulding,   Aslihan D.
This article addresses the dynamic impact of the 2005 H5N1 avian influenza outbreak on the Turkish poultry sector. Contemporary time-series analyses with historical decomposition graphs are used to address differences in monthly price adjustments between market levels along the Turkish poultry supply channel. The empirical results show that price adjustments are asymmetric with respect to both speed and magnitude along the marketing channel. Results also reveal a differential impact of the exogenous shock on producers and retailers. The findings have critical efficiency and equity implications for the supply-chain participants.
