Special Theme: Food and Agriculture
The food & agriculture industry consists of all companies that are involved in food production, processing, and trading.
With the liberalization of agricultural markets worldwide, and with the changes to the EU Common Agricultural Policy, competition in the food and agriculture industry has more and more become a fact.
Risks to competition
There are many collaborative arrangements in the food and agriculture industry. In many parts of the industry chain, only a few players are active, and many products are homogeneous. Such market characteristics indicate an increased risk of anticompetitive behavior. That is why the NMa gives this industry special attention.
