Rural development policy and food industry development: investigation of small firms in Denmark
Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapport › Konferencebidrag i proceedings › Forskning
Food industry firms in remote areas face a set of constraints, which have motivated
the form and function of assistance instruments under various regional and
rural development programmes. Recent food industry developments present new
challenges to these firms, for which available assistance may be less appropriate.
This paper employs telephone interviews and workshop discussions with firms
in isolated locations to investigate their satisfaction with assistance programmes,
their ability to innovate (through product introductions) and respond to challenges
in the food industry (the emergence of power buyers). Further investigation
was carried out on the topic of firms' formation of networks, and the use of
available assistance in doing so. Firms' evaluations of support received in satisfying
specified objectives are not correlated with their views on which objectives
should be addressed. Some concrete suggestions for network activities had
been made, but overall the development is at an early stage.
