Market Power in Direct Marketing of Fresh Produce: Community Supported Agriculture Farms
Department of Resource Economics Working Papers
(2005)
Abstract
CSA farms establish a loyal customer base and, potentially, market power. A new empirical industrial organization (NEIO) approach and survey data from Northeast CSA farms are used to determine whether CSA farms have market power and the extent to which they exercise their market power. Results suggest CSA farms exert about two percent of their potential monopoly power.
