In a white paper the American Antitrust Institute (AAI) calls on the Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division to evaluate the competitive issues raised by Monsanto's proposed acquisition of Delta and Pine Land (D&PL). AAI noted the deal raises both competitive issues and broader public policy concerns associated with dominant firm control of an important agricultural supply chain. The white paper analyzes six major issues raised by the transaction, which include: vertical integration, closed "systems," potential competition, consumer choice, efficiencies and entry barriers, and up-front fixes.
