      abstract = {This study was carried out to characterize the mergers and  acquisitions undertaken in the Spanish agrifood sector  during the period 1995-2005 and has two objectives.  Firstly, it aims to determine the manner in which  economic-financial factors influence the type of merger  carried out (merger by formation of a new legal person and  merger by acquisition), and the role played by cooperatives  (acquirer, acquired or cooperative involved in a merger by  formation). Secondly, it aims to determine whether these  mergers have contributed to reaching any of the objectives  they were set out to achieve: improving the  economic-financial situation of the companies involved,  increasing income and reducing relative costs. The results  obtained show that on average, following a merger, there  were no statistically significant improvements in the  economic-financial indicators studied.},
