      abstract = {Grain marketing arrangements in Australia have been  controversial for many years. Following an account of the  historical background to grain marketing, this article  concentrates on more recent debates. The most interesting  technical economic argument concerns the validity of claims  that statutory marketing authorities with export monopoly  powers can obtain higher prices. The article also discusses  how marketing in Australia has been affected by  Commonwealth and State Government policies with respect to  microeconomic reform and privatization. Although major  changes appear to have been made in grain marketing and its  institutions, there are inherent economic problems with the  current approach to deregulation.},
