Agro-nutri price monitor
The Autoriteit Consument en Markt (ACM) has commissioned LNV to implement a continuous monitoring project within the agro-nutri chain. The objective is to obtain objective insight into the actual cost and margin distribution between chain parties, price formation, and the reimbursement of costs for sustainability efforts, including animal welfare. The monitor must make the price formation in the value chain transparent for a selection of products and signal any potential issues. The assignment requires an in-depth analysis of price and cost dynamics, with attention to transparency, market forces, and sustainability effects.
