Abstract

Agribusiness change in Australia and New Zealand, as in the United States, can be classified into five groups: more complexity, growing out of the global network, futuristic notions, world economic development trends, and public-private institutional arrangements; more concentration, especially growing out of takeovers and greater vertical integration to practical farm markets; more competent, growing out of professional management, technological acceleration, and a large number of improved individual country food sector strategies; more competitive, growing out of more demand driven thrusts, an increasing number of world food suppliers, and overcapitalized farm production in advanced countries; and more compromised, growing out of the increased minority position of farmers and broader political coalitions in which they must operate. These changes beget conflicts which provide a vital laboratory for the practice of modern agribusiness management.
