Reform of the Canadian Wheat Board: A "Made in Canada" Approach to Marketing Grain

Richard Pedde and Rolf Mirus

No 1111, Information Bulletins from Western Centre for Economic Research

Abstract: In this brief discussion paper we argue that the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) can improve its performance through increased recourse to specialized skills. As such, our proposal advocates further specialization of the process of marketing Western grains by out-sourcing functions which the present structure of the CWB is ill-equipped to perform itself. Our argument is to push the CWB further in the direction in which it has already ventured, for example, in some of its financial risk management practices.
