Abstract: This analysis shows that there could be net gains to the US wheat industry if all US export wheat were to be cleaned to a dockage level between 0.35 and 0.40%. These results are based on interviews with major importers of US wheat, and a model of world wheat trade. Larger benefits to the US wheat industry would be possible from cleaning only wheat destined to countries that demand higher quality US wheat. However, these gains in export revenue from selling cleaner wheat could be offset if other exporters, especially Canada, responded in ways that would maintain their market share. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
