      abstract = {This short poster paper presents ongoing research on the  informal silage maize trade between specialised dairy  farmers in Flanders, Belgium. We investigated the influence  of transaction costs on the silage maize trade market.  Additionally, we investigated the influence of the  establishment of biogas plants on silage maize prices. The  research indicates that with increasing transaction costs,  trade between farmers declines. Furthermore, in the  presence of a biogas plant, silage maize prices increase,  whereas transaction distances increase.},
