Abstract

 Abstract: This thesis examines the concept of transaction costs and their critical role in the agricultural sector. Transaction costs, which include expenses related to search, information, bargaining and decision-making, and policing, and enforcement, are integral to understanding the economic behaviors and choices within the agricultural industry. The analysis delves into how these costs affect farmers' access to markets, their ability to negotiate better terms, and the overall efficiency of agricultural operations.
