COMPETITION POLICY AND ANTI-COMPETITIVE PRACTICES ON THE GRAIN TRADE MARKET IN ROMANIA
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The present work aims to highlight the importance that competition has on the grain market, the anticompetitive collusions occurred, fitting the prices, and the cartels that are built and used in case of large grain producers. This paper analyzes the competition on the grain trade market in Romania, its factors of influence, insisting on its protection, maintaining and enhancing competition in order to promote the loyal competition. For the case study, we have chosen a highly debated situation in agriculture in the last years in Romania, namely the anticompetitive policies that aim to influence the grains’ price on the market. In the EU we talk about a common market where there are no boundaries or barriers between manufacturers and retailers in all Member States which compose this common market. Romania, like other Member States must prove the competitiveness of its products to market requirements. Being competitive means to design products that are purchased by consumers, a low price is due to their specific qualities. That means investments to increase productivity or product quality implies a number of areas where farmers' organizations can negotiate supply contracts on behalf of their members without infringing competition rules . The strongest producers should not turn into cartels, but should help farmers to improve their economic situation, but it should not turn into cartels.
