International food chain management is related to the capacity to get a model where to include the methodology and the goals of the analysis in the food chain paradigm. The food chain framework is used in this paper to analyze the meat sector in Spain and Argentina. Particular attention is paid to beef, the bahavior of administration and business firms, and the results on animal welfare. One important dimension in the food chain analysis is quality policy (QP), a broad topic that should be integrated along the whole food chain, from producer to consumer. The methodology used is the industrial organization model, with the traditional structure-conduct-performance (S-C-P) interrelationship.

Empirical information was compiled from several research projects, particularly a survey conducted in Spain by the European Union FAIR–CT950046, and from Argentinean exporter entrepreneurs. Special attention is given to consumer behavior and market performance as a basis for new QP and agricultural policy. We present a brief description of some of the more significant dimensions of the food chain, and focus specifically on fresh meat quality. In conclusion we present a comparative analysis of various parts of the food chain, with useful clues for decision-makers on improving the fresh meat market and gaining more confidence about consumer attitudes. Evaluation of promotion and advertising programs should coincide with quality control actions (HCCP) and better information systems.
