  • 摘要:Consumer pressures placed on agriculture for variety, quality, and safety are affecting how the industry is organized, including the types of buying and selling arrangements within the food supply chain and the application of information technologies. Farm production is becoming more capital intensive, with emphasis placed on adding value to commodities. Product differentiation and quality control are becoming more essential at the farm level. In some agricultural industries, contract production is becoming more common as food processors and distributors attempt to gain greater control over their products and ensure market outlets. Some contract arrangements specify particular production practices, such as the use of specific genetic strains or organic farming techniques. In other types of contracts, the food processor gains greater control over farm products by providing important inputs, such as the animals, feed, and management services.
