    Sample Questions & Answers

    How do changes in interest rates affect the company's profits?

    Because many distributors finance their inventories, they're sensitive to interest rates. On average, distributors hold inventory equal to 35 days sales, but machinery distributors may hold products for more than 50 days. Food and petroleum product...

     

    How much business has the company lost due to retailers buying directly from manufacturers?

    Big retailers like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Costco buy much of their merchandise directly from manufacturers, bypassing distributors. Because they buy in large quantity and operate their own warehouse systems, these retailers don't need distributors.

        Competitive Landscape Brief

        Demand is driven by federal agricultural policy programs, food consumption trends, and the grain and oilseed export market. The profitability of individual companies depends on maximizing crop yield and minimizing disease risk. Large companies have advantages in highly automated technologies and access to the latest in seed and crop technologies. Small operations can compete effectively by harvesting heirloom, non-genetically modified (GM), or specialty products. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $390,000. Crop exports -- mainly oilseeds and grains -- account for about 35 percent of US production. China, Mexico, and Japan are the top grain export markets. China is the largest importer of US oilseed and grain, accounting for 25 percent of all US oilseed and grain exports. Imports account for less than 20 percent of the US market. The US imports more vegetables, melons, fruits, and nuts than it exports. The rapid expansion of corn-based ethanol production may slow the US grain export market. Long-term, the USDA expects that exports of soybeans will decline as farmers produce grain for ethanol, and as Asian oilseed farms address global demand for crushed and fresh soybeans.
