Commodity Chain Analysis:
(ASSIGNMENT DIRECTIONS)
In our present-day society, it is increasingly difficult to know where
our food is produced and where our products are made.
It is almost as if the things we buy magically
appear on the store shelves; we have little idea and often any thought concerning the process of how
that thing arrived on the shelf for us to buy.
‘Made in China’ labels only tell part of the story; this
assignment asks you to tell the rest of it. Your t
ask is to pick one commodity, one brand and one
country (for example, iPhone, Apple, and China) and trace how this product
, from its origins, ended up on a store shelf in
Cheney or Spokane, or from wherever you purchased it (it may have been
online).
You will need to do your own investigative research (Google searches, etc.) to uncover the company, or variety of companies, involved in producing the commodity, and the various production
processes, labor conditions, and facilities that the
commodity (or its various components) traveled
through before finally arriving on the store shelf.
