Research Abstract

Canada and Australia are the important grain exporting countries in the world. Both countries amount for oneThid of wheat expoit in the world. It is the distindive feature that state trading enteiprises have single desk authority on the export of major grain, wheat and barley, in these countries. In the WTO Agricultural Negotiation, the issue on the state trading enterprises became controversy, since United States and other countries take this issue on the negotiation.
