8 Do we really have agri-food chains? Consumers not offered / willing to pay the true price for food Retailers fear lost sales and never want to be out of stock, leads to food waste Retailers primarily compete through cost not differentiation Promotions culture creates variability in demand Focus on procurement (lowest price) not planning by all actors across the supply chain Farmers continue to produce even when loss making at a loss, undermining the true cost of food

15 Choose your approach Economies of Scale vs. Economies of Scope but you will have to be productive

16 Demand (Units) Demand (Units) Demand (Units) Strategic alignment is a way to achieve this COST REDUCTION GROWTH Minimise Operational Costs Surge Create Consumer Interest Base Time Time Time

17 Demand Need to develop a planning capability across agri-food supply chains... Surge Base Understand and segment demand Avoid promotions (unless they are designed to deal with genuine surge in production) Willingness to be out of stock, if dealing with a peak leads to food waste Supported by the correct contracts Time
