AGRICULTURE SUPPLY CHAINS

ventures, long-term agreements and other forms of cooperation provide all participants with benefits in sharing risk and improving operating efficiency. Without a doubt, this cooperation benefits consumers through the increased standards in business practices, food quality and identity and thus overall food security. Yet while dedicated supply chains are
practical and profitable, they cannot succeed without a robust and open market. And that open market can be an even greater asset with the liquidity, efficiency and optionality that technology now provides. Let’s move forwards, not backwards. •
