Quality assurance in food and agribusiness supply chains: developing successful partnerships

Article Abstract:

Food supply chains adopt vertical coordination to gain competitive edge amid rapidly changing markets, technological innovations and global competition. Among motives for vertical integration are the reduction of transaction costs, reduction of risk, improved ability to innovate and differentiate, better market position and more efficient exchange of information and organizational structures. On the other hand, vertical integration may have a number of disadvantages such as reduced flexibility and high demand on capital. The ability to develop successful partnerships determines the actual competitiveness of food supply chains.
