Abstract: Vertical coordination in agriculture is a complex problem. Coordination arrangements have both technical and organizational dimensions. This paper calls attention to the institutional dimensions of vertical coordination. It applies concepts of institutional economics to vertical coordination problems. Finally, this paper calls for an integration of economic techniques within an institutional framework as an approach to research on vertical coordination systems.
