Abstract
The American grain economy and its constraints. -- The role of the USA in contemporary changes in world food-production systems is so important that many observers fear a monopoly. The agribusiness industry is made up of giant food processors, grain merchants, farm machinery suppliers and, last but not least, farmers. They represent only 3 % of the global working population, but the American Agricultural Policy bas from 1933 to 1985 helped them in their world conquest. Building an export-oriented agriculture bas been the main objective of this policy.
