<p>How do food and agribusiness firms capture more profit in
their value chain? How do innovative managers identify attractive adjacency and
disintermediation opportunities? What options are available to a manager facing
these questions and what economic incentives might motivate their strategic
behavior? This study sought to address these timely questions, more effectively
understand the strategic decisions facing food and agribusiness managers
relative to value chain profit pools, and uncover some of the hidden dynamics
between chain participants. Specifically, this study defines and quantifies the
U.S. animal protein industry value chain across three species – hogs, cattle,
and broiler chickens. The study found evidence to suggest that governance
structure has strong ties to value generation and that intra-value chain
dynamics impact price transmission between chain nodes. Further, this study creates
a foundation for other researchers to continue examining agri-food value chain
dynamics and its link to firm-level profitability, value capture, and long-term
sustainability.</p>
