Abstract

Evidence is provided on the extent to which wheat price policies operating over the period 1953-54 to 1983-84 achieved objectives related to the levels and stability of key industry variables. The general findings are that the levels of achievement have been modest and that trade-offs have been involved. This evidence is supplementary to the evidence already available from efficiency-based studies.
