Résumé : |
The first part of my internship consisted in doing research about the American apple industry. Many sources were used, as the US has several different public agencies dealing with agriculture, agriculture economics, and more specific works such as the agricultural census. The main agencies from which I used data are the USDA NASS (US Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service), the USDA ERS (Economic Research Service of the USDA), the USDA NOP (National Organic Program), the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, mostly for regulations), some organic certification agencies (CCOF, Oregon Tilth, Washington State Organic Program). Talks with growers were also rich in information, as well as talks with various members of the Washington fruit packing industry, allowed [...] The first part of my internship consisted in doing research about the American apple industry. Many sources were used, as the US has several different public agencies dealing with agriculture, agriculture economics, and more specific works such as the agricultural census. The main agencies from which I used data are the USDA NASS (US Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service), the USDA ERS (Economic Research Service of the USDA), the USDA NOP (National Organic Program), the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, mostly for regulations), some organic certification agencies (CCOF, Oregon Tilth, Washington State Organic Program). Talks with growers were also rich in information, as well as talks with various members of the Washington fruit packing industry, allowed by a three-day trip to the apple-growing regions of the state of Washington (this state, as we will see, is the main apple-growing state in the US). A grower from Arizona also came to visit the factory and the managers, as they do every year. Overall, from what I could see, very friendly relationships prevail between suppliers and the company. The main conclusion of this preliminary research started to appear early, regarding the geography of the organic apple production and how available it was to Manzana. After the National production, I focused on the local growers and started meeting them. The objective was double: to have a better overview of their production potential, but also of their needs and of the likelihood that they would keep growing apples in the near future. In fact, many local growers have quit the business over the past 20 years, and the trend was unclear: are more growers quitting, or has the local apple acreage tabilized? Meeting with them was also a way to define their needs and the potential issues they are facing. Once we had better information, on the national and local levels, and on the organic and non-organic sources of apples, we could discuss different strategies, regarding relationships with the growers, relationships with fruit brokers, and possible investment strategies. This was a very interesting part, and calls for more discussions and decisions in the near future. Several smaller projects had to be tackled, related more or less directly to the apple supply. For example, I simulated the apple needs based on sales forecasts. This called for two successive production models: the first one was built using the R statistical software programming tool. It involves many parameters and runs day-to day simulations. Its construction helped me understand the flows of apples in the factory. The second model was inferred from the first one, but simplified: it gave the apple needs (in different categories of apples) month per month, based on sales forecast. Only the R-based model is given here, in ANNEX. |
