Description

"A new development in the agricultural sector is the increasing vertical integration from primary producer to final consumer. In the United States the so-called New Generation Farmer Cooperatives (NGFC) have given farmers larger earnings by selling processed products instead of raw products. All business functions can be streamlined through production contracts, by the granting of delivery rights and delivery obligations."
