Supply Chain
Seafood Supply Chain
The seafood supply chain is shaped by three root constraints: wild catch uncertainty where ocean fisheries are biological systems whose yields depend on weather, migration patterns, and stock health — none of which are controllable; extreme perishability where seafood degrades faster than almost any other protein and the cold chain must begin on the vessel and cannot be interrupted; and traceability gaps where seafood passes through auctions, processors, and distributors across multiple countries, making origin verification structurally difficult.
Coffee Supply Chain
The coffee supply chain moves beans, roasted coffee, and espresso from tropical farms to global consumers, shaped by three root constraints: coffee trees take years to mature and produce one harvest annually, roasted coffee degrades in weeks while green beans store for months, and production is concentrated in the tropical belt while consumption is concentrated outside it.
Beef Supply Chain
The beef supply chain is shaped by three root constraints: a biological growth cycle that delays production response by 18 to 24 months, a cold chain dependency that requires unbroken refrigeration from slaughter through retail, and processing concentration where four companies handle roughly 85% of US beef — a structure driven by the capital intensity and regulatory burden of large-scale slaughter facilities.
