Maintenant que les prix du grain montent en flèche en raison de l’accroissement de la demande (attribuable en partie à la production de biocarburants), certains agriculteurs réclament la possibilité d’avoir plus de choix en matière de commercialisation afin d’obtenir des prix plus élevés pour leur production (37). La Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association et la Western Barley Growers Association s’opposent toutes deux au monopole de la Commission sur l’orge (38).
Now that world grain prices are sky-rocketing as a result of increased demand (some of which is related to biofuel production), some farmers have requested greater marketing choice to obtain a higher prices for their crops (37) Both the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association and the Western Barley Growers Association are opposed to the CWB’s single desk authority over barley (38) The CWB currently allows export selling by individual farmers, but will grant export licences only for grain that farmers have sold to the CWB and then bought back.
