Marketing Institutions in International Commodity Markets

Andrew Schmitz

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1986, vol. 18, issue 1, 41-48

Abstract: International markets for the majority of agricultural commodities are extremely complex. They include public and private traders along with influences from domestic and international government policies. In recent years, the United States has experienced a decline in the market share in two of its major agricultural exports—rice and wheat. For example, at one time the United States had roughly 45 percent of the world wheat market; but, by the end of 1985, its share had dropped below 40 percent. Also, in terms of rice, the United States market share has dropped from 25 percent to below 20 percent.
