Final Report Abstract
This paper is organized around three stages or links in the wheat value chain: elevators, milling, and baking. Each of these links represents an important economic activity within the supply chain. Although heavily intertwined, each link competes in a unique economic environment. The discussion for each link centers on structure and competitiveness of industries in each of the links.
