This book explores what governments and regional organizations can do to keep the price of agricultural commodities stable on their own national markets if the world price becomes too high or too low. It focuses on one group of agricultural commodities - food grains. The book advocates the deployment of public grain stocks to stabilize market prices while retaining the important messages of longer-term price trends. The book has 11 chapters and a subject index.
