“…Alternatively, FSMSs can be grouped into “public mandatory and public voluntary” or “private regulatory and private voluntary” (Henson & Humphrey, , p.1631). Other studies define FSMSs based on ownership structure (private or public), scope of adoption (i.e., whether a standard covers firm‐to‐firm relations or the entire food supply chain), and scale of adoption (i.e., the extent in which an FSMS is adopted across each stage of the food supply chain) (e.g., Wever et al, ). This study focuses on market‐based FSMSs.…”

“…Food safety has long been studied as part of quality management (Trienekens & Zuurbier, 2008;Wever et al, 2010). However, following the uncovering of several high profile food safety scandals, food safety has become a shared responsibility among supply chain actors, consumers, and regulators (Nychas et al, 2016).…”

“…Prior to this law, only fragmented legislative decrees were available to address food safety issues in Lebanon. It is argued that when government oversight is strong, the adoption of market-based FSMSs may be low because the government can provide the necessary resources to enforce food safety requirements and vice versa (Wever, Wognum, Trienekens, & Omta, 2010). The study seeks to analyze the prevalence and determinants of public-and industry-based FSMSs in Lebanon, where such studies are scant (Massoud et al, 2010).…”

The food safety landscape continues to evolve across time, geography, and supply chains. This research seeks to analyze the determinants of market‐based food safety management systems (FSMSs) implementation in the Middle Eastern context. Primary data were collected from food safety managers representing 94 processors across Lebanon. We found food processors having implemented ISO 22000 (50%), HACCP (40%), and ISO 9001 (25.5%); however, none of the processors implemented industry‐based FSMSs. Although ISO 22000 was mostly implemented by large (85%) and medium (67%) processors, the uptake of ISO 22000 by small processors has picked up (29%). Economic incentives (market orientation) and firm‐specific factors (organizational readiness, product/process characteristics, company size, and ownership structure) are the key drivers for the increased implementation of market‐based FSMSs. Predominantly export‐oriented processors had the odds of implementing ISO 22000 5.5 times more than the domestically oriented processors. Firms with a quality assurance (QA) unit had 15 times higher chance of implementing ISO 22000 than otherwise. Finally, processors engaged in fresh produce had 4.9 times higher chance of implementing ISO 22000 than those engaged in dry goods. The study establishes that the dominance of public‐based FSMSs in the governance of food safety is a strategic choice (economic incentives) more than statutory requirements.

“…Transaction costs economics is therefore linked to quality and performance in the supply chain. Attributes of the transaction that are determinant for transaction costs and appropriateness of different governance structures are asset specificity, performance measurement problems, and coordination/adaptation problems (see Wever et al, 2010). Jie et al (2015) look into the information sharing (IS) paradigm, which is the belief that profitability can be enhanced through a high degree of cooperative behaviour (Brewer and Speh, 2000;Derocher and Kilpatrick, 2000;Mentzer et al, 2001).…”

Van Galen, Michiel and Robert Hoste, 2016. Profit analysis in animal product supply chains; Exploratory research and proposal for a generic approach. Wageningen, LEI Wageningen UR (University & Research centre), LEI Memorandum 2016-052. 38 pp.; 7 fig.; 1 tab.; 66 ref. In agricultural economic research, farm profitability is an ongoing area of research. Measuring farm profitability has been a concern for economists and policy makers, in relation to rural development and food security in both developing countries and developed economies. In the policy and public debate, developments at farm level are rightly linked to price and profit developments in other parts of the agricultural value chain. Frequently, questions are raised concerning the seemingly distorted relationship between price developments and income distribution at different stages of the supply chain. A number of studies have been performed into the relationship (transmission) of prices and the distribution of value added and profits. It is concluded that comparison of profit margins between different supply chains or products and/or product groups, between parts of a supply chain, between countries, and between companies is not a priori clear and unambiguous without a thorough analysis.This research aims to contribute to the development of a systematic approach for profitability analysis aiming to explain differences between countries, supply chains and supply chain stages. Insight into the relationship between supply chain structure and the level and distribution of profits in supply chains can be used to trace and remove bottlenecks in supply chains.

“…These supply chain management approaches are typical for monopolistic competition to be competitive with diversified product quality and product varieties. This is crucial for supply chain management of the meat product from farms to consumers, with the relations between farms and inter-firm quality management systems and inter-firm governance structures for the efficient coordination of the quality of end-customer products in meat supply chains (Hansson et al 2010, Wever et al 2010). …”

The purpose of this research is to provide insight into the export competitiveness of meat products of the European Union (EU-27) member states on global markets. The revealed comparative advantage index is used to analyze the levels, compositions, and evolutions in patterns of development in the export competitiveness of meat products and their levels of stability at the product level. Except for some niche meat products, a larger number of the EU-27 member states have experienced comparative disadvantages on global markets over the analysed years of 2000 to 2011. The revealed comparative advantages on the global markets are the most robust for Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Cyprus and Hungary. The revealed comparative advantage indices and their survival rates differ across the meat product groups. The heterogeneity in export competitiveness of the EU-27 member states suggests the importance of the differentiation of meat products in competitive export specialization on global markets.
