Food supply chain 
•An Agri-food supply chain is a supply chain which produces and distributes an agricultural or horticultural product. 
2 Kinds 
1. Fresh Agricultural products 
2. Processed food products

Problem statement 
•Broiler -Fastest growing and flexible livestock sector 
•Satisfy the nutritional need of SSA (59%) & SA (34%) (FARRELL,2013) 
•Price competitiveness & convenience 
•Effective tool to alleviate poverty 
•Major contributor to GDP(24% of Agri. Production in SA) 
•South Africa becomes an importer and major consumer? 
•Thailand –Emerging exporter?

Why do small holders go far behind??? 
•Can not compete! 
•No contracts! no loans! high interest rates! 
•HPAI outbreak, changed farm standards 
•Moving to duck/livestock sector 
•Native chicken no export! Limited Supply Chain 
•Household consumption/income/cock fight 
•Scavenging types 
•73% no vaccination! 
•No veterinarian, only volunteers

Thailand 
•Vertical Integration 
•Entry barriers to competitors 
•Soy & Maize feed(cassava ) 
•Greater imports of feed (biodiesel) 
•Antibiotic stress development 
South Africa 
•Vertical integration 
•Limited share for small holders 
•Maize price & dominator feed companies 
•Day Old Chicks supply 
•Weak infrastructure support(NEALet al, 2008) (NARANONG, 2007) Comparative analysis of Broiler supply chain

Thailand 
•Bio security concerns 
•pharmaceutical and vaccine free chicken 
•Fuel price high 
•Antibiotic resistant bacteria from the farms 
•Government support 
South Africa 
•Lack of abattoirs 
•Dumping of Brazilian poultry 
•Poor condition of roads 
•Poor extension and market information service 
•Government support less
