| Wheat protein is one of the most important specifications used in domestic and import purchase contracts. It is used as a proxy for functional quality that is important in domestic markets and to importers. Large differences exist in functional characteristics amongst wheat that vary by protein level and class. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the demand for wheat protein across importing countries and through time. A choice based econometric model is specified and estimated using a pooled data set of wheat shipments. Results indicate that there have been shifts over time, purchase probabilities are highly price elastic and vary across importing regions. In addition, income, traded goods, urbanization, females in the work force, and domestic... |

| Questions have emerged in the United States and Canada regarding the role and function of quality in international markets. One has been the definition and composition of different market segments, with a particular focus on higher quality customers. In this study, trends in U.S. wheat exports are analyzed by class, grade, protein, and market segment. Analysis shows trends toward increases in exports of higher grades of Hard Amber Durum (HAD) and Hard Red Spring (HRS); whereas, exports of higher quality grades for Hard Red Winter (HRW) appear to be moderate. Exports of HRS, HRW, and HAD show increases in proportion of exports shipped at higher protein levels and increases in the proportion of exports where protein is specified. Cluster analysis for... |
