Clusters as a tool for improving the efficiency of the dairy industry

Abstract

Unbalanced relations between all participants of the food chain in the dairy business hinder the development of the livestock sector. Implementation of cluster policy in dairy cattle breeding enables the development of a competitive reference standard using benchmarking analysis. For the full and comprehensive development of the dairy cluster, it is necessary to observe organisational independence to meet the economic interests of all participants. The developed mechanism acts as the basis of a new area of economic analysis that measures synergetic results possible only within the framework of cluster system economic interaction in dairy cattle breeding.
