Strategic Coordination in Hog and Pork Industry - the Cooperative Coordination as a Quasi-Integration

Changes in vertical coordination in the hog sector can result in lower production costs and higher price over the costs, lower retail prices, and improved quality of food products; but result in concerns about market power. The industrialization of agriculture to more differentiated products and coordinated markets can also result in more information and knowledge about the quantity, quality, timing of delivery in the food product chains. To gain the competitive advantage in relation to the more efficiently coordinated poultry industry, more strategic market coordination should be sought in the hog and pork industry, that is the cooperative coordination as a specific type of quasi-integration.
