Abstract

Abstract Food quality schemes (FQS: organic and geographical indication products) are often supposed to be more sustainable by their political advocates. We explore the social sustainability advantage of FQS through the lens of supply chains’ bargaining power (BP) distribution. We propose an indicator synthesizing different sources underlying BP (competition-based, transactional, institutional) and counting two dimensions (fair BP distribution and adaptation capacity), that we apply to 18 FQS supply chains and corresponding reference. FQS perform better than their reference products on both dimensions. This better performance is due to a combination of sources.

认证供应链是否更具社会可持续性?议价能力分析

摘要食品质量计划（FQS：有机和地理标志产品）通常被其政治倡导者认为更具可持续性。我们从供应链议价能力（BP）分布的角度探讨了FQS的社会可持续性优势。我们提出了一个指标，综合了BP的不同来源（基于竞争的、交易的、机构的），并计算了两个维度（公平的BP分配和适应能力），我们将其应用于18个FQS供应链并提供相应的参考。FQS在两个维度上都优于其参考产品。这种更好的性能是由于多种来源的结合。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization (JAFIO) is a unique forum for empirical and theoretical research in industrial organization with a special focus on agricultural and food industries worldwide. As concentration, industrialization, and globalization continue to reshape horizontal and vertical relationships within the food supply chain, agricultural economists are revising both their views of traditional markets as well as their tools of analysis. At the core of this revision are strategic interactions between principals and agents, strategic interdependence between rival firms, and strategic trade policy between competing nations, all in a setting plagued by incomplete and/or imperfect information structures. Add to that biotechnology, electronic commerce, as well as the shift in focus from raw agricultural commodities to branded products, and the conclusion is that a "new" agricultural economics is needed for an increasingly complex "new" agriculture.
