Abstract: This report focuses on the major grain-related issues facing the cooperative community, with particular emphasis on the adjustments made to a declining export situation and transportation deregulation. Cooperatives have played an important role in the origination and assembly of grain for domestic and export markets. Strong competitive pressures outside and within the cooperative community and other external forces are forcing cooperatives to carefully assess their present situation with an eye on the future. Considerable adjustment in terms of physical and financial structure, organization, intercooperative coordination and cooperation, and operating policy will be needed to ensure themselves a future in grain marketing.
