Vertical and Horizontal Integration in the Market Egg Industry, 1955-1969

Author

  • Rogers, George B.

Abstract

A method is described for developing a combined quantitative measure of vertical and horizontal integration in the market egg industry. Comparisons show that regions where egg production decreased during 1955-69 had a less than average rate of development in integration. In contrast, regions where production increased had above average rates of development. The overall growth in integration has also helped reduce egg-marketing margins.
