Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pricing and Competition on Beef in Los Angeles This process of dynamic change and adjustment is especially evident in Los Angeles. Here, beef production and distribution are being influenced by an unusually rapid growth in population, changed income and consumption habits, the rapid development of a large number of retail food chains and independent supermarkets, the establishment of a commercialized cattle feeding industry, introduction and widespread use of Federal carcass grades, and transition of the california-arizona beef industry from a deficit supply area to one with occasional surpluses. These developments have led to concern regarding their economic effects on producers, consumers, and various elements of the beef trade. Questions raised usually involve the retail food chains, the Federal grades for beef, effects of the shift in supply-consumption balances, or specific marketing practices. Most of the concern, however, derives from one of two sources (1) Change requires adjustments which may be painful or difficult for some segments or firms in the market; and (2) the process of change may be handi capped by lack of knowledge or understanding of the forces generating change, the changes themselves, or their effects.
