vertical integration and service enhancement

Vertical integration describes an industry where one company either owns, or controls through joint ventures, multiple stages in a production chain. For example, Dole owns plantations and canning facilities, and has the marketing power to bring pineapples from fields in the Philippines to consumers in many countries.

The poultry industry in the United States is another example of vertical integration. Virtually all chicks raised for consumption as poultry are exchanged for money only when the meat processor sells them to the supermarket. All stages of production, from the hatching and rearing of the chicks to the slaughter of birds, are internal to the company.
