An Analysis of Efficient Purchasing Strategies for a Soybean Meal User in France

This study is an attempt to improve the purchasing technique of a current product, soybean meal for a French feedmill. The basic idea is to separate the pricing function which has to be done in a very liquid market and the procurement function which concerns the organization of the physical flow of the goods into the processing plants. In intensive regions of production, gains may be expected from better forward price opportunities in the liquid market and also from improved bargaining power of users in negotiations with sellers.
