Powerful Buyers and the Grocery Supply Chain: What Does it Mean for the Independent Grocer?
Manage episode 361559679 series 3323465
On this episode of Ruled by Reason, AAI President Diana Moss hosts David Smith, CEO of Associated Wholesale Grocers, and Chris Jones, SVP of Government Relations and Counsel for the National Grocers Association. They take up a front-line issue: consolidation in the retail grocery supply chain and the threat it poses to smaller independent grocers. The accumulation of market power has spurred an ongoing cycle of bulking up to gain bargaining leverage over suppliers and customers, with significant effects on smaller players in the supply chain, including farmers and ranchers, small food brands, regional dairy and protein processors, food wholesalers, and independent grocers. The conversation focuses on how powerful retail grocers engage in various methods to exercise their buyer power, often at the expense of independent grocers; what enforcement and policy tools are available to combat it; and what further consolidation in retail grocery means for competition and security of the food supply chain.
