Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of the factors providing the impetus for change in the North American beef industry and how the industry is responding to the challenges. The beef industry story provides lessons for other agri-food industries attempting to respond to rapidly evolving food markets. The book provides important insights into the process whereby industries respond to a rapidly changing marketplace and, in particular, industries with complex supply chains consisting of many actors. The agri-food industry provides an excellent example of a market that is evolving rapidly in ways few would have contemplated even a few years ago. The beef industry has an exceedingly complex supply chains that must co-ordinate complex resources such as genetics, extensive grazing, precision feeding strategies, high tech processing, cold chain logistics and food safety protocols. The interaction between changing demands and the beef industry's responses to an evolving marketplace provide the focus of the book. The book examines the process whereby the beef industry prior is making the transition from a supplier of commodities to a provider of differentiated products with attributes tailored to individual consumers. The book then provides a theoretical basis for the examination of evolving supply chains and a means by which the industry's response can be assessed using modern quantitative methods. Case studies are developed to dig deeper into the transition the beef industry is experiencing. Insights are drawn for other agri-food sectors facing similar challenges. Ranchers have always had a special place in the cultural heritage that defines North Americans and beef has been the premium product in the dietary hierarchy in traditional North American cuisine. As urban dwellers who are generations removed from agricultural production now overwhelmingly make up the consumer base, the image of cattle producers is buffeted by new customer priorities such as animal welfare, environmental sustainability and the ability to determine the place of origin of their food. As the proportion of food consumed at home declines and consumers seek to expand their range of culinary experiences, food from cultures where beef is not a mainstay of the diet have gained more prominence. These restaurant experiences are increasingly being reflected in the near table ready products on offer in supermarkets. Consumers are still likely to enjoy a good steak, other traditional beef products now struggle for consumers. The implications of the response of the beef industry to the changes buffeting the sector goes beyond strictly commercial concerns and will determine the place of beef and the industry's participants in the evolving North American culture.

Book excerpt: This dissertation examines three issues crucial to the competiveness of Canada's beef cattle industry. The first study undertakes an ex post analysis of the impact of the U.S. country of origin labeling (COOL) law on U.S. imports of Canadian beef and cattle. The study employs a test of structural change that is able to endogenize break points and one that is able to detect end-of-sample structural breaks. Results suggest that COOL has led to significant reductions in U.S. imports of Canadian beef and cattle. The second study examines the impacts of the appreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar and feed price escalation on Canadian cattle cycles. It estimates Canadian beef cattle cycles using total cattle inventories, beef cow inventories, beef supply, and beef prices. Spectral decomposition of the variables reveals ten-year cycles in total cattle inventories, beef cow inventories and beef supply, and an eight-year cycle in prices. Modeling exchange rate appreciation and feed price escalation as pure jumps, the study finds significant impacts of both shocks on total inventories, but beef supply appears to have been impacted only by exchange rates. A spectral comparison of the pre- and post-shock periodogram of beef supply reveals a 58% reduction in the peak amplitude of the beef supply cycle. The third study deals with Alberta's Feeder Association Loan Guarantee Program. The purpose is to determine the extent of the risk exposure faced by commercial banks participating in the program, the value of the loan guarantee provided to cattle feeders through the program, and the subsidy embodied within the program. Enterprise budgeting is combined with Monte Carlo simulation to capture production and price risk. A consolidated measure of risk is obtained and fed into option pricing models to estimate the value of the loan guarantee. Results suggest that feeding cattle is, indeed, a risky undertaking, and the resulting risk exposure to lenders is significant, especially with respect to backgrounding. Also, the study finds the price of the loan guarantee to be 4% to 5% of the loan amount, which is sufficient to offset the subsidy inherent in the program.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beef production is big business. Over 300,000 Canadian farmers have cattle on their farms. In 1967 net marketings were over 3,600,000 head with sales valued at about $850,000,000. At the same time beef and veal consumption in Canada averaged 88 pound per capita ... Coupled with expected population increases, this trend indicates that an 8 to 10 per cent increase in cattle slaughterings will be required during the next three years ... Realization of the prediction that beef production can be doubled by 1975 depends on extensive programs to facilitate expansion of the livestock industry and on a basic change in the attitude of farmers to the raising and finishing of beef cattle. ... The relative position of the livestock industry with respect to income is therefore important to Manitoba farmers. Periods of ready markets for grain, of course, tend to discourage livestock production. Grain markets for the future, however, are not assured whereas market demand for beef is expanding. ... The basic problem is lack of sales in an over-supplied world market. This predicament could continue for some time. With the above basic considerations in mind, it became imperative to study some of the factors involved in beef production if expected requirements are to be met.
