How supply chains move the commodity markets - Global Supply Chain Week
from FreightWaves LIVE: An Events Podcast · host FreightWaves
Jonathan Kingsman discusses with FreightWaves Editor at Large John Kingston several key trends that have impacted global supply chains in agriculture over the past 40-plus years. One is the evolution of the huge grain merchants that controlled so much of the flows back in the 1970s, who have either changed their way of doing business or disappeared altogether in mergers. The second is the growing efficiency of the supply chain in agriculture, which recently has come under pressure from revived government intervention.
