Agribusiness, 1993, vol. 9, issue 3, 189-204

Abstract: Multinationals exercise market power in international grain trading activities and affect the volume and direction of trade flows. A high degree of integration in the cereals and cereals substitutes sectors and diversification in other sectors allow companies to undertake a wide range of strategies, such as global strategic behaviour and transfer pricing, which influence the international grain trade and the effectiveness of trade polices. Such influences may be identified in a new framework of analysis, by taking into account different ways in which foreign direct investment occurs. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.
