The book "Economics of Vertical Integration in the Poultry Industry" offers a comprehensive analysis of vertical integration in the poultry industry. It examines the various stages of the production and marketing chain and their impact on the efficiency and profitability of poultry farms. Based on primary data collected through surveys of 211 poultry farms, the study provides insights into the differences between non-integrated, partially integrated, and fully integrated operations. The analysis includes both descriptive and budgeting techniques and includes the estimation of a stochastic frontier production function. The results show that higher vertical integration is associated with increased profitability and a reduction in technical inefficiency. The book is a valuable resource for professionals and students interested in the economic aspects of poultry production.
