Structured Grain Trading Systems in Africa

2013

This manual describes how structured trading systems work for grains such as maize, sorghum and millet, as well as commodities such as groundnuts and soybeans. The manual explains how the system works, from postharvest handling and warehousing to trading on a commodity exchange. It describes standards, explains how market information is used, and explores the details of trade contracts and dispute resolution. It has been and can be used successfully in training programmes and courses.
