This PPT slide, part of the 148-slide Strategic Review Approach PowerPoint presentation, presents an analysis of key suppliers in the food industry, focusing on their potential for vertical integration within the value chain. Each supplier is evaluated based on their likelihood of integrating across various stages: sourcing, making, moving, and selling. The likelihood of value chain integration is rated on a scale from 1 to 9, with 9 indicating a strong potential.
Cargill Foods, Kerry, and Gardner Smith are highlighted as key suppliers, each receiving a score of 9 for their likelihood of integration. This suggests that they possess significant capabilities in sourcing and processing raw materials. For instance, Cargill Foods is noted for its extensive global sourcing and trading capabilities, alongside its expertise in commodity storage and risk management. Kerry also demonstrates strong sourcing capabilities, particularly in tropical oils, while Gardner Smith is recognized for its role as a trader and seed crusher.
The slide further details the suppliers’ potential movements within the value chain. Both Cargill and Kerry could expand into refining oils, with Cargill already engaged in this process in the U.S. and Australia. However, all 3 suppliers are deemed unlikely to move into the distribution of fats and oils products, indicating a strategic focus on their core competencies rather than diversifying into less familiar areas.
The insights provided in this slide are crucial for stakeholders considering partnerships or investments in these suppliers. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each supplier can inform strategic decisions and align with broader business objectives.
This slide is part of the Strategic Review Approach PowerPoint presentation.
