Entreprises multinationales et politiques nationales sur les marchés agricoles mondiaux

Margherita Scoppola

Économie rurale, 1996, vol. 234-235

Abstract: National policies have affected the investment's pattern of multinational firms, which trade and process agricultural products. The paper examines how agricultural policies and taxation have contributed to determine the location of firms in the grain and oilseeds trading and processing industries, where few multinational control 85 % of world markets, in first processing industries, firms have invested in countries protecting domestic markets, white in the trading industry, firms have invested in exporting (importing) capacity in countries subsidising agricultural exports (imports). The reform of agricultural polices is likely to induce a world-wide reallocation of investments, determined more by comparative advantages than by policy.
