In favor of sustainability and human health, a dietary change is urgent. Beef, among all foods, has the greatest environmental impact and is associated with several chronic diseases. Brazil is one of the largest consumers of meat in the world, and most of its greenhouse gas emissions are related...

Supply chains continue to evolve with new configurations in response to the dynamic business environment. Supply chain disintermediation is viewed as a viable solution to reduce cost and improve efficiency, provided information asymmetry is reduced in credible ways. This paper employs a case...

COVID-19 not only affected every hospital bed in the nation--if not the world; it also affected nearly every dinner table in America and beyond. Supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic highlighted deep-seated problems with how we get our meat, and how difficult we make it for American...

The study was carried out to analyze the profit efficiency in beef production in South West, Nigeria. These were with a view to improving beef cattle production to meet its increasing demand and income generated from it for producers. Multistage sampling techniques were used to select...

It is widely accepted that digitalisation can allow us to tackle the social, economic and even environmental challenges that agro-food systems are currently facing. There is a vibrant debate regarding the challenges one might face when adopting digital tools. This article engages in this...

The objective of this study is to examine the long-term uncertainty transmission between cattle and lamb carcass markets and the feed wheat market in terms of exogenous variables (e.g., gasoline price, exchange rate, and import variables) and whether the volatility is symmetrical, using the...

Every year, nearly 17,000 cattle ranchers across the United States lose their businesses and livelihoods. One of the many reasons for this is the low prices meat packing plants - particularly the Big Four packing plants that control the industry - pay farmers and ranchers for their cattle....

Background: Beef, because of its high protein content, occupies a privileged place in household consumption in Cameroon. However, the quality of the meat available on the market and the prices charged are far from satisfactory for consumers. There is therefore clearly a problem of physical and...

Partial vertical integration of many food and agricultural industries, especially beef packers’ acquisition of slaughter cattle, increasingly raises competition and fairness issues for the non-integrated residual market. While market foreclosure may be a central antitrust concern with full...

This article investigates price relationships in the Russian meat markets in 2011-2017. We use vector autoregression specifications to predict the transmission between consumer, producer, and import prices in the Russian pork, beef, and poultry markets. We consider the possible effects of...

This paper aims to critically examine the potential barriers to the implementation and adoption of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in the beef supply chain. The beef supply chain has been challenging due to its complex processes, activities, and management. The beef industry has relied heavily...

The article deals with the “Farm to Fork” Strategy, which is the European Union document significant for the future of the Common Agricultural Policy and the effects of its implementation for the beef sector in Poland, as well as an important element of agri-food exports. The analysis uses a...

In the 1980s, there was a famous TV ad for Wendy’s with the tagline “Where’s the Beef?” Many investors in today’s so-called smart beta strategies may well be asking a similar question, “Where’s the Alpha?” Investors frequently buy into historical simulations or backtests, often...

The necessity of detection of nitrite as a challenging compound in food industrials always has been considered. Addressed herein, two transition metal oxide based nanocatalysts, NiO ‐ Co3O4 (NC) and its reduced graphene hybridized form, NiO ‐ Co3O4 ‐ rGO (NCR), was prepared by a...

In this paper we study whether “network closure” in the supply chain can explain the heterogeneity observed in firms’ performance. Using unique panel data on trade flows among beef farms in the Italian region of Piedmont, we analyze a sequential supply chain characterized by the...
