Abstract

Evolving food preferences and business cycles have had differential impacts on the expected performance, risk, and cost of capital among post farm gate food industries. Expected returns to invested capital in 10 food manufacturing and four distribution industries are evaluated with respect to each industry's risk-based cost of capital. In spite of increasing food market share to food service and increasing retailer concentration and bargaining power, capital in distribution industries has been overvalued so that expected returns have been depressed below the cost of capital for extended periods from 1973 to 1992, while manufacturing capital has been efficiently valued. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
