Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report details issues surrounding market concentration in agribusiness, particularly in three agribusiness sectors where concentration has increased over time: seeds, meatpacking, and food retail. Market concentration and its impact on competition have attracted growing public scrutiny. Critics argue that many industries have grown too concentrated, with fewer firms competing with one another and a consequent weakening of competition. The report covers the consolidation in each of these industries, explains the driving forces behind increased concentration, and examines public policies aimed at encouraging competition, focusing on the implementation of merger policy.

Download or read book Concentration and the Destruction of Competition in Agricultural Markets written by Peter Carstensen and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay reviews the dramatic changes in the structure of the markets in which farmers and ranchers sell their products as well as those that provide them with essential goods and services. These changes involve dramatic increases in concentration within the markets, substantially greater vertical integration, and increased concentration on a sector basis. These structural changes have in turn made feasible a number of practices that have or have the potential to have adverse competitive effect on both producers and consumers. The essay argues that antitrust has lost its appreciation of its fundamental goals and failed to take adequate account of many of the potential risks arising from the dramatic transformation of agricultural markets. The essay concludes with suggestions for reversing the trend toward concentration by more vigorous antitrust enforcement and for adopting new legislation to provide greater protection to farmers and ranchers in their dealings with powerful customers and suppliers.

Download or read book Concentration and Power in the Food System written by Philip H. Howard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who controls what we eat? This book reveals how dominant corporations, from the supermarket to the seed industry, exert control over contemporary food systems. It analyzes the strategies these firms are using to reshape society in order to further increase their power, particularly in terms of their bearing upon the more vulnerable sections of society, such as recent immigrants, ethnic minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status. Yet this study also shows that these trends are not inevitable. Opposed by numerous efforts, from microbreweries to seed saving networks, it explores how opposition to this has encouraged even the most powerful firms to make small but positive changes. This revised edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in the food system, as well as the broad political economic forces that shape them. It also examines the rapidly changing technologies, such as Big Data and automation, which have the potential to reinforce, as well as to challenge, the power of the largest firms.
