Explanation & Answer

Hello sorry for the delay I had a little problem owing to unreliable internet connection. However, I have uploaded a preview for you. Please give me a few hours to deliver the complete research. I am almost through with the editing and finalization of the entire paper and the data tables. Let me know in case of anything.

The occurrence of food replication technology has captured the attention of industry players
with the prospects of these foods remaining a fundamental industry disruptor. Essentially, as
the technology takes shapes to an almost perfect form the cultured meat which this paper will
refer to “artificial Meat.” Ideally, this meat is engineered and developed apart from any living
animal but retains the biological identity to meat. Despite the fact that this technology is still
being developed, the feasible production of artificial meat has increasingly grown over the
years. According to Bloomberg, the development of new meat alternatives is necessitated by
the large demand for meat. This is due to the fact that large-scale industrial animal faming is
growing to be more and more unsustainable (Grobart, 2016). Therefore, the advent of this
product, “artificial Meat,” is set to transform mexico’s beef production as a leading exporter
of beef products to the United States. Peel, Johnson and Mathews
(2010), record that over a million heads of cattle are exported to the United States every year.
Naturally, the animals undergo a number of cow calf production types and beef production
systems. As such, the cow-calf production provides a dynamic and vital economic activity for
Mexico especially for the large expanse of the non arable land in the country.
Nonetheless, exports of the cattle products continue to fluctuate extensively as affected by
changing weather patterns influencing availability of forage for grazing. According to Peel et
al.,(2010), exports often surge in early spring and late fall periods as forage conditions
deteriorate. Even so additional factors, such as changes in domestic consumption continue to
affect beef production in Mexico. Therefore, this paper evaluates the factors affecting the
country’s beef production and their influence to the development of artificial meat products.
As such, the paper pinpoints the influence of culture coupled with market dynamics to give
a clear view of the challenges pertaining to artificial meat adoption and the opportunities
within the domestic beef market and the export destination like the United States. In addition,
the paper draws analysis on the changes on production practices and the constraints within
the domestic markets to establish the viability of artificial meat production.
As the domestic beef market patterns change the cow-beef production systems is affected
largely by the increased human population that have seen demand overpower supply. This is
also largely due to decreased production. Ideally, the uptake of cultured meat is mounting to
offset the constraints and deal with the different consumer needs. Essentially, the cultural
dimensions applied into the country speak volumes on the direction of artificial meat
production in the country. The paper examines the cultural dimension of Mexico as country
with respect to Geert Hofstede Culture dimension on consumer behaviour.
Uncertainty Avoidance
Subsequent studies have shown that Mexicans rank rather high in the dimension of
Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI) to depict that the society has a low level for tolerating
uncertainty (Hofstede, 2007). This therefore speaks to the uncertainty surrounding artificial
meat in terms of its benefits, health implications and also its costs and profitability for the
industrial input. From this deduction the ultimate goal of a society such as the Mexican
population is fixed on having control and minimizing the unexpected. In such, case it is
paramount that the population is sensitized and integrated into artificial meat consumption

gradually. Since the society does not readily accept change owing to its risk adverse nature
(Hofstede, 2007), understanding the changes in the domestic consumption pattern is
fundamental. For instance, Peel et al. (2010) records the Mexican population has increasingly
grown to prefer fed beef resulting into a new demand for cultivated feeds. The complexity
ensures with the fact that continued surge in demand for fed beef raises the pressure on
producers to tap into feed grain and high quality forage resources. However, with scarcity of
this resources production costs are strained and this complicates the country’s beef industry.
The Washington post reports that, the demand for meat is expected to increase by 8 percent in
the decade period between 2011 and 2020 (Zaraska, 2016). This is according to Organization
for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) projections which also project a similar
rise of about 7 percent and 56 percent in Europe and Asia respectively. The increased
consumer demand for meat continues to make production unsustainable and this is central to
the development of alternative solutions. The biggest challenges for the artificial meat
product consumption in Mexico would arise from the uncertainties expected are largely draw
from the health factor. Nonetheless, researchers backing the cultured meat production denote
that, artificial meat alleviates the health challenges posed by conventional meat. The idea is
backed by the aspect of sterile production environment associated with lab grown meat.
Relatively, the evaluation by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention portend that
pathogens found in conventional meat form are largely the sources of food related infections
(Zaraska, 2016).
Individualism
Mexico is also regarded as being largely collective and as such ranks low on the dimension of
individualism. For such, it is translated that the Mexican society is more group oriented as
opposed to individual centred (Hofstede, 2007). As such, Mexicans are deeply engendered in
each other making them social oriented to the family unit as well as the people outside the
family. This therefore, relates that a good introduction of the product is essential and should
be done by the insider regarded as a member of the group or in the case a member of the
society. This is draw from the cultural concept of ‘face’ which depicts the standing of an
individual among his or her equals (Chan, 2010).
Masculinity
Mexico has the second highest ranking across Latin America countries with respect to the
masculine dimension. The country ranks 69 to relay a high differentiation of roles on gender
to reveal a high affinity of leadership positions to be masculine (Hofstede, 2007). As such, a
masculine culture is largely a representation of a competitive culture whereby achieving
success is essential.
Power Distance
Mexico is ranks higher with an index of 81 to depict a high level of inequality in the country
in terms of power and wealth. The condition plays out as an accepted norm of the society as
opposed to a subversion nature (Hofstede, 2007). As such, A POWER DYNAMIC IN
SHAPE of the hierarchy is fundamental. Children are respectful of the teacher and parent as

such the authority has influence. Within this bound we can explore the opportunity of
inducting the artificial meat culture through a system introduction confined within the bounds
of authority concepts.
Long term orientation
The country has a relatively high index as compared to the world average of 45. This depicts
a characteristic nature of persistence with a deep sense of interpersonal harmony as such the
country has a high relativity of doing business (Hofstede, 2007). In essence this offers the
opportunity to integrate the product into the domestic market.

Conclusion
From the dimension analysis, it is clear that Mexico has a high communal affinity and this
raises the ease of penetration of a product since a successful introduction of the concept into
the family would easily be accepted by the larger group. This is attributed to the increased
nature of collectivism. Even so, the persistence and commitment of the country reveals a
persevering nature of overcoming obstacles with time. This is good for the success of
artificial meat product in the domestic market because it shows that the country would have
the will to deal with the downsides of the product. This is with respect to the similar traction
observed in the transition from horse use to cars. Ideally, cars provided a unique edge in
transportation over Horses back in the period but today they emit so much carbon. Therefore,
we ought not to give up on cars or perhaps similarly stop research on artificial meat
production but rather forge a system to manage the downsides and increase efficiency. For
the Mexican domestic market the patterns can be modified and integrated persistently to
allow the success of the product. As an added advantage to beef production industry, the
success of artificial beef would ease on the pressure of sustainable beef farming with respect
to continued growth in demand for meat.

Political Stability
Among the most stable economies surveyed, Mexico stumps out as a stable pro-market
democracy with no disorder in transfer of power and use of excessive authority by the
government. The economist records that Mexico came second to Hungary among the survey
covering emerging market economies with a score of 74. This reflected of an increased
stability in the country’s power dynamics.
Market Intelligence
The Mexican market is relatively easy to penetrate with limited barriers in the general
business environment. Ideally, the market’s ease of penetration stems from the country’s
alignment to reforms towards easing trade and making the market dynamic according to a
Price Water House Cooper (PWC) report it is evident that numerous free trade treaties have

eased the country’s business environment significantly(Macotela, 2011). Ideally it is easier to
enter this market based on the fact that Mexico has over the years adopted new measures to
streamline the approval procedures. For instance, Macotela (2010) connotes that, it is easier
to register a business in Mexico since the procedures can be easily completed in less than 13
days. Even so, manufacturing opportunities in the country are wide with low cost
manufacturing base, low transportation cost and a greater manufacturing capacity in the
country’s market capacity (Matacelo, 2010). This eases the bid of integrating the cultured
meat production into traditional Mexican cow-beef production patterns. However, the tax
laws of the country are still under a reform stage and remain not effectively fluid to nurture a
reliable business environment. The changing dynamics of the country’s tax law as and tax
compilation procedures pose a huge risk to an entry business in to the economy. The tax
complexity requires sufficient expertise and an adequate understanding of the country’s
calculation systems. However, new adoptions are proposed and adopted by the day. Macatelo
(2011) relates that the government is said to opt to drop the existing double tax regime and
focus on the single corporate tax structure.
