Abstract: This paper documents recent trends in antitrust enforcement within the food and fiber system. Data obtained under Freedom of Information Act requests indicate that regulatory reforms precipitated steady declines in Federal Trade Commission resources directed toward agricultural industries. Department of Justice antitrust efforts exhibit a less identifiable pattern of change.
