Descripción
We analyze two types of crop marketing contracts between agricultural producers and processors, delivery-at-harvest and an "option-to-purchase" that emerged in US peanut market after the 2002 Farm Act. This contract structure is interpreted as a marketing strategy trying to fill the gap left by the former quota system.
