Impact of public policy on the up stream's dairy industries strategy

Abstract EN

The Algerian dairy industry has faced, supply problems linked mainly to the scarcity of raw milk.

Resource dependency theory explains certain aspects of vertical relationships, notably those related to environmental conditions (availability of raw materials).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of vertical integration strategy imposed by the government on the strategy of the dairy industries.

We try to determinate the relationship of subsidy amount and collected/integrated raw milk quantities in the four dairies chosen, using the estimation curve regression to verify whether the association varies for different size's dairy industries.
