Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of the EU food sector. The chapter starts with a historical perspective on the major developments in the food sector after the Second World War. This is followed by a discussion of the structural characteristics and an assessment of the competitiveness of the sector. Next, developments in the organisation of the food supply chain and the shift in dominant players in the chain are addressed. The rising concentration in downstream segments of the food supply chain is creating concern and has spurred new initiatives at the EU policy level, such as tools to improve transparency along the chain, to facilitate producer cooperation and a ban on unfair trading practices.

Nächstes Kapitel EU Food Law: A Very Short Introduction

In this section, the food sector refers to the food (and drinks) manufacturing sector only.

Note that there may be other reasons than the weak bargaining power of farmers that can explain an imperfect pass-through of price changes along the supply chain. The fact that agricultural products make up just a (small) share of the total value of processed and consumer products and the presence of adjustment and menu costs (the cost for firms to change their prices) may also play a role (see, for instance, Vavra and Goodwin 2005 for an overview).
