Monopsony - Overview
1 The term monopsony power, in a manner similar to monopoly power,
is used by economists as a shorthand reference to buyers who face an
upwardly sloping supply curve but that are not the only consumer;
alternative terms are oligopsony or monopsonistic competition.

Oligopsony
1 An 'oligopsony' (from Ancient Greek 'ὀλίγοι' (oligoi) few + 'ὀψωνία' (opsōnia) purchase) is a market form in which the number of buyers is
small while the number of sellers in theory could be large. This typically happens in a
market for inputs where numerous suppliers are competing to sell their product to a small
number of (often large and powerful) buyers. It contrasts with an oligopoly, where there are
many buyers but few sellers. An oligopsony is a form of imperfect competition.

Oligopsony - Agriculture
1 One example of an oligopsony in the world economy is Cocoa bean|cocoa, where three firms (Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, and Callebaut) buy the vast majority of world cocoa bean production, mostly from small farmers in third-world countries. Likewise,
American tobacco growers face an oligopsony of cigarette makers, where three companies (Altria Group|Altria, Brown Williamson, and Lorillard Tobacco Company) buy almost 90%
of all tobacco grown in the US.

collusion, either tacit or overt, and thereby exercise market power. An

competition or monopoly can

Economics of the arts and literature - The market for artworks
1 Two segments of the market in the visual arts can be distinguished: works of art that are familiar and have a history, and contemporary
works that are more easily influenced by fashion and new discoveries. Both
markets, however, are oligopoly|oligopolistic, i.e., there are limited
numbers of sellers and buyers (oligopsony).
