Global coarse grains: trends, trade, and future prospects
This book surveys how major feed grains are produced, used, and traded across selected countries and regions. It blends data on yields, fertilizer use, and policy directions to explain why exports, imports, and domestic demand move the way they do.
- Learn how yield gains, fertilizer input, and management practices are reshaping production in different regions.
- See how export markets shift, with attention to Japan, Western Europe, and other destinations for barley, oats, sorghum, and corn.
- Discover country cases from Australia, Thailand, South Africa, and Eastern Europe, including projected production and trade through the 1970s.
- Understand how policy, marketing boards, and domestic demand influence the balance of supply and demand.
Ideal for readers who want a clear, data‑driven view of how coarse grains advance from farm to world markets, and what drives the outlook for the coming decade.
