Abstract (english)
The modern agricultural and food industry is characterized by a high degree of consolidation and concentration of ownership. In addition to vertical integrations with predecessors or successors in the value chain in order to secure inputs, markets or important resources, horizontal integrations are also common, whether directly through company mergers or integrations aimed at consolidation within large multinational corporations (MNCs). An increasingly common form of horizontal ownership... More concentration is investment by a third, independent, party, an institutional investor, in several companies within the same industry. Third-party investments in companies competing in the same industry are referred to as horizontal shareholding, a particular form of common ownership that is largely determined by the investment activities of large asset management companies and global investment funds. The research question focuses on the motives and effects of such ownership structures on the strategic behavior of companies. Trends and market dynamics, sustainability and the impact of common ownership and, in particular, horizontal shareholdings on the economy and society were examined. The effects of horizontal shareholdings and common ownership were examined for various sectors along the value chain in the agricultural and food industry. The research results show that there are economic interests of large investment funds in the agri-food sector. The interest of institutional investors could lead to far-reaching consolidation and market power in the hands of a few large companies, with a variety of negative consequences for the economy and society, from rising prices and increasing inequality to anti-competitive practices.
