Résumé anglais Relations Between Producers and Distributors: an Empirical Approach, by Alain Chappert and François Ecalle. Relations between mass market retailers and their suppliers underwent a crisis in 1984 and 1985. Distributors gained significant advantages in dealing with producers through the creation of "supercentrales d'achats" (large-scale groups purchasing centres offering better conditions to members). This article aims to place this conflict in a historical perspective: before this battle with suppliers, the mass market retail sector was already witnessing difficult relations between traditional commerce and industry. Butthe events of 1984 and 1985 have leftfew perceptible traces. Although it is difficult to isolate the damage that producers suffered from strong market pressure, international comparisons show that the power of the agri-foodstuff industries and the power of the mass market distribution sectors are not mutually exclusive.
