Resumo: 	The purpose of this report is to assess the efficiency of the Ethiopian grain marketing  system and identify some of the constraints on market participants which influence its  performance. The main questions dealt with are: How is the grain marketing system organized and  coordinated? Is the grain trade business composed of many small units competing one another or is  it dominated by few large participants? What are the approaches followed by traders in buying,  selling and pricing grain? Are there any barriers to entry, and if so, what are the major  factors? What problems and constraints are observed in transportation, storage, financial credit,  and market information? How have the structure and conduct of the market and the constraints and  problems affected the performance of the market?
