| Title: | CAPTURING VALUE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN: THE CASE OF HIGH OLEIC ACID SOYBEANS |
| Authors: | Darroch, Mark A.G.

| Abstract: | The oil produced from high oleic acid soybeans (HOS) offers benefits to both consumers and food manufacturers. It is lower in saturated fat and more heat-stable than commodity-grade soybean oil. Optimum Quality Grains L.L.C. is working with seed distributors, elevators, and crushers across the Midwestern U.S. to develop a new supply chain which keeps the HOS and the resulting oil separate (identity preserved (IP)) from commodity-grade soybean oil. This case illustrates the challenges and key issues facing three players - an agricultural inputs dealer, a grain elevator, and a soybean crusher - that must decide whether to join the new supply chain as the HOS research commercialization. The case can be used to create a discussion about how each player can create and capture value from this specialty crop. The case works well either as part of an undergraduate capstone course or a graduate course in agribusiness, or in an executive education course, especially such a course aimed at managers from seed and life sciences companies. |
