Résumé anglais Co-operative Organisation and the Producer's Resort to Traditional Agricultural Markets. Traditional wholesale markets are in a state of general decline and retain an important role only for the marketing of live' cattle and, above all, of fresh fruit and vegetables. Even this function is brought into question by the general evolution of the agricultural/food economy and, more especially, since at least a decade, by the development of new forms of co-operative agricultural organisations, making good use of the possibilities offered by the sica and the groups of producers. Is it possible to view these traditional markets simply as residual, archaic features, ancient wholesaling methods which were once dominant? Is their disappearance a likely eventual outcome of this process? Or, as a result of qualitative changes pretendly talcing place, will certain of these markets, in certain sectors, when renewed and made more specialised, remain indispensable to the functioning of complex and varied systems of production and marketing?
