Book Description
Grain Marketing explores the basic principles and concepts of grain marketing and analyzes the futures and options markets, agricultural policy, grain pricing, and grain marketing structures in the United States, Canada, and the European Community. This text helps students understand the world grain system, trains them to use futures and options, and explains how grain is marketed locally and internationally. The world grain industry affects our daily lives in ways both large and small. It influences what we consume for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and provides at least 40 percent of the world’s food supply. The U.S. and world grain industry affects our income, our investments, and global politics. As world population and therefore global demand for grain grows, the volume handled by the U.S. grain industry will continue to expand, demanding not only improvement in crop yields but also continued efforts to compete in increasingly sophisticated international markets. This newly revised, fully updated text provides a practical, comprehensive overview of grain marketing that is useful to both the upper-level undergraduate studying agricultural marketing and the professional working in the industry. Grain Marketing blends several approaches to the study of commodity marketing, combining the institutional, functional, market structure, and analytical and behavioral systems approach to grain marketing. The book includes basic background information for newcomers to the subject of agricultural marketing as well as more rigorous treatment of advanced subjects. The books overall plan allows the student to follow the movement of the major grains, corn, wheat, and soybeans from farm production to final consumption. Along the way, it provides a detailed description of the worldwide system, encompassing local and multinational corporations, state agencies and boards, national trade and agricultural policies, and the cash and futures markets that serve this industry.

Reforming Grain Marketing Systems in West Africa

Book Description
This paper examines the foodgrain-marketing problems of Mali and analyzes why numerous proposals for reform have proved infeasible or too difficult to implement. Among the principal findings are: (1) government implementation is severely limited by physical, financial, and organizational factors; (2) the present mixed (government and private) system of marketing cannot be easily improved; (3) uncertainty over prices and general market disorganization divert farmer effort to cash crops and may reduce farmer willingness to develop grain production; (4) since existing co-operative organizations are instruments of government used mainly for grain requisition, farmers are reluctant to set up true co-operatives that could better defend their interests; (5) external assistance including food aid and a line of credit in the Operations Account in Paris has diluted the impact of grain-marketing policies and allowed the Mali government to maintain policies without having to fully absorb the consequences; (6) until very recently, the government had not been presented with well thought through proposals. The paper concludes that in any successful reform the State grain agency will have to play a major role - even under a "minimalist" assumption about the State's role in grain marketing - and that major improvements will result from indirect measures such as improvement and extension of feeder-road networks, better information on crops and marketing and better dissemination of such information, closer attention to relaxation of production constraints on food grains, and improved policy analysis within government. Such indirect changes will widen the options for reform and increase the probability of their adoption.
