CONSOLIDATION IN THE MEAT INDUSTRY – REASONS AND EFFECTS
Journal Title: Roczniki Naukowe Stowarzyszenia Ekonomistów Rolnictwa i Agrobiznesu - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim of the research was to identify the most important mergers and acquisitions in the meat industry in Poland in 2015-2017 and their causes and effects. Data on transactions in the meat market in the country were obtained from Thomson Reuters database. A valuable source of information was also the subject literature and press interviews with experts in the meat industry. The analysis showed that the structure of entities on the meat market in Poland is very fragmented, which limits their competitiveness. In connection with this, the number of mergers and acquisitions increases, the aim of which is to increase the position of enterprises on the market and to achieve higher profit from combined entities. As a result of such actions on the meat market in Poland, the share of large foreign entities with a global scale of activity increases. Small and medium-sized enterprises, however, are afraid of consolidation processes because their negotiating position is weakening.<br/><br/>
