consolidation means you have tons and tons of market share selling the same

horizontally. Vertical consolidation means you expand into different stages of
a product's development. For example, Tyson breeds baby chicks and owns them
all the way until they go to the grocery store. From the breeder, the chicks go
to farmers who have contracts with Tyson (the farmers never officially own the
chicks, even while raising them). Tyson picks up the chickens from farmers when
they are full grown, slaughters them, and sells them. I believe they also
