Description
Summary:Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to assess direct and indirect damages of dairy processors and pig and poultry slaughterhouses in The Netherlands following the occurrence of a feed crisis.Design methodology approach - Starting from a number of feed crisis scenarios the paper analyses processing industry damage parameters through a combination of sector data and individual company assessments. In case of confidential data, outcomes are presented as indices.Findings - The paper finds that, in the most likely scenario, it is expected that a feed crisis affects 15 processors, i.e. 20 per cent of processing business in The Netherlands. Processors' direct damage is largely (>90 per cent) determined by the mixing of produce during various phases of processing. Indirect damage is on average perceived not to exceed direct damage.Practical implications - The results are useful in current stakeholder debates on sharing damage burdens of feed crises across supply chain partners.Originality value - This paper extends currently available risk analyses of feed contaminations by eliciting damage beyond farm level.
