Abstract: Abstract After a brief synopsis of the main avenues of research on the industrial organization of food and agriculture, I introduce and discuss the six articles that make up this Special Issue of the Review. The articles draw on novel databases to explore price transmission and supply response in processing tomatoes; concentration and competition in the meatpacking industries; communication and collusion in broiler production; concentration and research competition in genetically engineered seeds; price transmission from agricultural commodities through to retail prices; and the effect of store entry on prices for nearby retailers.
