      abstract = {The paper is organized into six major sections. Background  and trends in agricultural production and trade are  presented in Section II. The extent of government  intervention in food grain production and trade is  described in Section III. This provides a foundation for  Section IV where the behavioral equations for defining  government intervention in food grain markets are  specified. These equations, along with the retail demand  and farm level supply equations, yield six equations in six  endogenous variables for each of the food grain crops,  maize, wheat and rice. It is shown in Section V that the  model provides a good fit to the data. In the concluding  sections, simulations are performed to obtain insights into  the effect on and motivation for government intervention in  food grain markets.},
