Review of Agricultural Economics, 2000, vol. 22, issue 1, 172-191

Abstract: Issues about grain quality are integral to export demand and competition. In the past, debate focused on wheat class and country of origin. This study analyzed changes in imports for wheat grades and classes for hard wheats in Canada and the United States. Clustering techniques were utilized to examine importer behavior and identify market segments for characteristics of U.S. wheats over time. Shifts in marketing toward shipment of specific classes and from lower to higher grades were identified. Cluster analysis indicated changes in composition and an increase in the number of market segments.
