Price discrimination in the international grain trade: the case of Canadian Wheat Board feed barley exports

Article Abstract:

The ongoing controversy regarding the involvement of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) in international trade was examined. The capability of the CWB to price discriminate among feed barley export markets was tested for the 1980/81 to 1994/95 period. There was evidence of the ability of the CWB to price discriminate and the magnitude and significance of price discrimination increased during the operation of the US Export Enhancement Program from 1985/86 to 1994/95.

Trade policies and the strategies of multinationals in the international grain market

Article Abstract:

The linkages between multinational traders and international trade and trade policy in the grains sectors are analyzed. Multinational firms engaged in grain trade are found to have significant international vertical integration while those in the non-food sectors have a high degree of diversification. These characteristics allow them to use a wider range of strategies such as transfer pricing, strategic behavior and multidomestic or global strategies.
