Excerpt from Special Margins and Costs Studies The total food marketing bill rose from 9 billion dollars in 1940 to 34 billion dollars in 1956. -this uninterrupted annual increase can be accounted for largely in terms of (1) the larger volume of food required to feed 38 million more people; (2) a persistent rise in the prices of all services and materials; and (3) an increase in the built-in services sold with food. Although retail food prices have remained fairly stable during the last two years, there is a growing concern about the rise in marketing costs, the net e ect of which is to lower prices to farmers. We find, therefore, that farmers and consumers are asking whether prevailing processing and marketing charges are a realistic reflection of the costs of performing the numerous services needed to move products from the farm to the consumer. Because of this deep - rooted interest in the cost of food, Congress in 1955 directed the Department of Agriculture to make a number of special studies cf the margin or spread between prices farmers receive and consumers pay for food. A number of these special reports have been published and they have helped to explain the relationships of marketing services to marketing costs.

Excerpt from Food Distribution Research, Educational, and Service Work of the U. S. Department of Agriculture Public concern with agricultural marketing problems continued in the interwar period, with the collapse of farm prices in 1920-21, the ensuing agricultural depression of the twenties, and the general economic depression of the thirties. During these decades the organization of the marketing work of the Department was modified from time to time to meet changing needs. But the work as a whole continued to receive emphasis. The variety of marketing services increased. The scope of research widened to include secondary and later stages of marketing in addition to those nearest the farm. A result of this work was a broadening and clarification of understanding of the role and importance of marketing. Studies brought out the costs necessarily involved in performing the essential and useful functions required in marketing farm products and the extent of dependence of farmers and consumers jointly upon the marketing system. The studies also indicated that in marketing, as in farm production itself, there were substantial opportunities for developing more efficient, less costly methods and practices, to the joint benefit of farmers, consumers, and the marketing firms themselves. It also became evident that agriculture and the marketing industries had a common interest in developing and expanding the markets for farm products.

Excerpt from Marketing Research Directory, Vol. 495: January 1963 Marketing Research in the Agricultural Marketing Service is directed toward increasing marketing efficiency by reducing product losses and costs through the development of practical answers to problems encountered in the handling, storage, and distribution of agricultural products from the farm through retail stores. Increased production and better utilization of farm products, technological advances in the marketing system, changing market ing and distribution patterns, shifts in population and industry, and waste and Spoilage in marketing channels call for reliable research results to make intelligent decisions in packing, storing, transporting, handling and grading, and selection of facilities, equipment, and work methods for the efficient marketing of agricultural products. Under the authority contained in the Agricultural Marketing Act of l9h6, and other legislation, research methods are applied to the solution of marketing problems such as improving marketing practices; identifying, measuring and maintaining product quality; preventing losses from waste, spoilage and insect attack; and improving marketing equipment, facilities, and handling methods, thereby reducing costs. The research, involving active cooperation with the State Agricultural Experiment Stations, other Government agencies, and public and private firms, organizations and insti tutions, is designed to benefit agriculture, the marketing system which services agriculture, and consumers. Research is conducted at each stage of marketing, such as at assembly points and storage sites, in transporta tion, at terminals or central markets, and at wholesale and retail markets; and deals with physical operations, equipment and facilities in handling and biological and related problems associated with the evaluation, measurement, protection, maintenance, and improvement of product quality.

Marketing Management challenges the traditional view of marketing as a function, considering it instead as a series of processes pervading the entire organization and involving most personnel as part-time marketers. The authors argue that every company or institution must manage four main processes: strategic positioning, market intelligence, value creation and value generation. Adopting a global approach, the book focuses on value creation and introduces students to the tools of the marketing mix in a process oriented manner. New to this edition: - New coverage of technology applications and developments and B2B marketing - Consistent focus on value creation throughout - More examples to illustrate theory - Enhanced pedagogy including long case studies and exercises in every chapter With its unique approach and international coverage, this book is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Marketing Management and will also appeal to MBA and other post-experience students.
