FACTS OF CARTELS

Georges Cartel. The aim of such collusion is to
increase individual members' profits by reducing
competition. Cartels usually occur in an
Oligopolistic Industry .Cartel members may agree

A cartel is a collection of businesses or countries that act
together as a single producer and agree to influence prices
for certain goods and services by controlling production
and marketing. A cartel has less command over an industry
than a monopoly - a situation where a single group or
company owns all or nearly all of a given product or
service's market
