Abstract

This article considers an example of a vertical competition where downstream firms purchase agricultural food products from the consolidators (i.e. small traders) and the consolidators buy their saleable commodities from the small farmers. Here, the author identifies and explains a vertical model used by the large traders to collect the agricultural food products in India from the small farmers. The author tries to resolve the question whether it is possible to collect agricultural food products by the large traders at lower prices or not and to understand the competition between the small and large traders in agricultural food commodities in wholesale, as well as in the retail market in India.
