Abstract

A model for evaluating farmer cooperative incentives for integrating forward into processing activities is presented for the bilateral monopoly market structure. Analysis suggests that cooperatives lack an incentive to integrate unless they are successful in restricting producer output to optimal levels. This result provides an additional explanation for empirical observations.
