“…We do not have data to conduct a similar analysis for other European countries. However, the supply chains are experiencing similar changes in all countries with large retailer chains making up most of the sales (Murray & Fofana, 2003;Asche & Bjørndal, 2011), and there is a common European market for most product forms. Hence, one would also expect a similar development in other European countries.…”

& In recent years there has been increased interest in the transaction forms in salmon markets, given that contracts have become more common, vertical mergers create firms that cover several levels in the supply chain, and futures markets have developed as a price risk tool. These are strong indications that salmon supply chains are developing in the same direction as supply chains for more processed food products. In this article we investigate to what extent this development has influenced the price transmission process for two product forms: a relatively unprocessed one (fresh fillets) and a more processed one (smoked salmon). Results indicate that the supply chain for fresh fillets can still be characterized by a high degree of price transmission. On the contrary, the hypothesis of full price transmission for smoked salmon is rejected.

“…The general view is that the world salmon market works competitively (DeVoretz & Salvanes ; Steen & Salvanes ; Jaffry et al . ; Fofana & Jaffry ; Asche & Bjørndal ); thus, there is no major room for any country to exert market power. However, Xie et al .…”

We identify and discuss the main problems and challenges in sustainable development faced by the salmon farming industry in Chile from a socio‐economic perspective. This perspective is broad, in that it includes how the industry interacts with society and the environment, but also limited, in that it only assesses the impact on different social groups and economic agents. First, we present a brief description of the structure and socio‐economic relevance of salmon farming in the country. Second, we identify and discuss the primary current issues in the sustainable development of salmon farming in Chile. Third, we identify and discuss the challenges for developing sustainable salmon farming in Chile, including regulatory design and sectoral management, options for future expansion of the industry, responses and adjustments in the face of climate change and climatic variability, and the proper handling and growth of public‐private cooperation and goods governance.

“…On the other hand, as occurs in the canning sector, retailers have a lot of bargaining power in setting prices ( Jaffry et al, 2003). Distributors are agents that are also important given that, in addition to the canned mussel market, the producers can sell fresh mussels to the distributors.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact that the free trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and Chile and its resulting dismantling of tariffs has had on the mussel cultivation industry, particularly in Galicia. Specifically, the authors examine how trade liberalisation has affected the mussel farming industry. Design/methodology/approach -The authors aim to observe the general panorama of both the evolution of production, distinguishing between fresh and industrial usage, and the evolution of prices at source depending on destination (fresh or industrial in the period 2003-2012). In order to analyse the relationships between different agents of the value chain, Porter's model has been used as a reference. Findings -There is a loss of competitiveness in the mussel farming-production sector following the liberalisation agreement of 2006 and huge bargaining power of the processing sector vs the production sector. Practical implications -There is an opportunity to implement traceability programmes andd evelop a more differentiated product. In addition, it is profitable to promote Galician mussels through generic advertising and promoting exports. Originality/value -There is a lack of empirical studies about the impact that the new free trade agreement between the EU and Chile has had on the Spanish mussel industry. Particularly, the study analyses economic repercussions, managerial implications and new challenges stemming from the new context of trade liberalisation.
