Abstract/Summary

Consistent conjectures applied to the food industries are investigated. This is a homogeneous-product, quantity-setting model with identical firms. When firm numbers are fixed, the consistent conjecture is monopolistic. When variable, consistency requires firm output to expand with exit and contract with entry, but no conjecture exists that is consistent with equilibrium.
