Book Description
This report presents the results of a study on the pricing of beef at the slaughter, wholesale and retail levels in the context of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease) crisis in Canada. The report reviews the data on markets and prices just prior to and in the wake of the BSE crisis, and the wholesale-to-farm-gate and retail-to-wholesale price spreads; examines the industry's competitive structure and performance at each stage of production; assesses the short- and long-term impacts of the BSE crisis, as well as the performance of the Federal-Provincial BSE Recovery Program; assesses the responses of industry and the federal government to the BSE crisis and offers further suggestions for mitigating such crises in the future.

Author: Bishnu Saha
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781100113500
Category : Beef
Languages : en
Pages : 39
Book Description
This study investigates the dynamics of price transmission between the Canadian beef markets along the supply chain and the impact of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) on prices. The authors explore the dynamics of adjustment between the changes in retail and industrial prices of beef and between the changes in industrial prices of beef and farm prices of beef cattle. They also estimate the impacts of BSE and the relevant market factors on beef prices at the retail, the industrial and the farm levels of the markets.

The Effect of BSE on the Pricing Behaviour of the Canadian Cattle Slaughtering Industry /
Author: Xiaoqiong Xu
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Beef
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
"The closure of the US border to Canadian live cattle and beef products after the confirmation of a single Canadian BSE case in May, 2003 seriously jeopardized the Canadian beef cattle industry, which had relied heavily on exports. The inventory of cattle rapidly increased and farmers were paid record low prices for live cattle. But at the same time, the cattle slaughtering industry experienced a substantial increase in profits. The enlarged price spread between the value of live cattle and beef steak raised concerns about oligopsony market power in the live cattle market. This thesis investigates the hypothesis that the Canadian slaughtering industry exercised this market power in the months following the discovery of BSE. Two models, the conjectural variation model from the New Empirical Industrial Organization and an asymmetric price transmission model were used and the results from both models do not support the hypothesis of oligopsony market power." --

Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups
Author: Ryan Manucha
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228015499
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Gerard Comeau, a retiree living in rural New Brunswick, never thought his booze run would turn him into a Canadian hero. In 2012, after Comeau had driven to Quebec to purchase cheaper beer and crossed back into his home province, police officers participating in a low-stakes sting operation tailed and detained him, confiscated his haul, and levied a fine of less than $300. Countries routinely engage in trade wars and erect barriers to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Comeau, however, was detained by the full force of the law for engaging in commerce with a Canadian business on the other side of a domestic border. With Comeau’s story as its starting point, Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups tells the fascinating tale of Canadian interprovincial trade. Ryan Manucha examines the historical, political, and legal forces that gave rise to the regulation of interprovincial commerce in Canada, the trade-offs that come with liberalized domestic free trade, and Canada’s enduring pursuit of economic union. The pandemic laid bare the vulnerability of global supply chains, the fickleness of foreign trading partners, and the surprising slipperiness of domestic trade. In a global climate of increasingly isolationist geopolitics, the history and possibility of Canada’s economic union, quirks and all, deserve careful attention.

Internationalization and Canadian Agriculture
Author: Grace Skogstad
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442693045
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
In recent decades, Canada's agricultural industry, one of the world's largest, has had to adjust to global trade developments such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization. Internationalization and Canadian Agriculture examines the patterns of continuity and change in Canadian agricultural policy making in important areas like farm income support programs, prairie grain marketing, supply management, animal and food product safety, and the regulation of genetically modified crops and foods. Arguing that the effects of internationalization have been mediated by Canada's political institutional framework, Grace Skogstad demonstrates how the goals and strategies of authoritative political actors in Canada's federal and parliamentary systems have been decisive to policy developments. Skogstad details the interaction between agriculture and the political economy of Canada, shows how international and domestic trade shape Canadian agricultural policies, and argues that while agricultural programs have changed, the post-war state assistance agricultural paradigm has persisted. A thorough political analysis and history of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Canadian agricultural policy and policy-making, Internationalization of Canadian Agriculture is an important contribution to political economy and public policy.

Food Fears
Author: Alison Blay-Palmer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317134389
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
The industrial food system of the West is increasingly perceived as problematic. The physical, social and intellectual distance between consumers and their food stems from a food system that privileges quantity and efficiency over quality, with an underlying assumption that food is a commodity, rather than a source of nourishment and pleasure. In the wake of various food and health scares, there is a growing demand from consumers to change the food they eat, which in turn acts as a catalyst for the industry to adapt and for alternative systems to evolve. Drawing on a wealth of empirical research into mainstream and alternative North American food systems, this book discusses how sustainable, grass roots, local food systems offer a template for meaningful individual activism as a way to bring about change from the bottom up, while at the same time creating pressure for policy changes at all levels of government. This movement signals a shift away from market economy principles and reflects a desire to embody social and ecological values as the foundation for future growth.
