Abstract: World trade in feed wheat fluctuates widely, but since 1985, trade has generally increased. Low relative wheat prices are the primary factor encouraging trade in feed wheat. However, the feed wheat market is relatively small, with policy impediments and other factors restricting increases in demand. Difficulties in defining feed wheat and in obtaining data on feed wheat consumption and trade hinder an empirical evaluation of trends, but a few major observations emerge from the available consumption and trade data. This paper examines the key factors affecting feed wheat trade and thus develops a framework for evaluating the conditions necessary for feed wheat trade.
