Focusing on the deregulation of the wheat export market in Australia, the book explores the implications of the 2008 policy shift that ended decades of statutory marketing. It examines how the promised benefits of market liberalization, such as increased choice and empowerment for individual growers, have been undermined by the concentration of regional markets. The analysis reveals that a few transnational agribusiness firms now dominate the sector, influencing agricultural policy in Australia and challenging the initial intentions of the deregulation.
