Best Answer

Any cartel is a set of people, companies, countries, which have such a strong control over some commodity that others wish to buy, that they agree not to compete with each other for sales, but all offer to sell at the same price. The customer is thus held to ransom because there is not a free competing market. A famous example is oil, but others exist in food, minerals etc.
