Current policy constraints are seen to insulate the market from its underlying economic forces. These forces include the economies of scale present in the milling and transport sectors of the market and inter-regional competition. The policy constraints relate to the policy instruments of Government, namely milling quotas, standardised wheat and flour pricing, import controls, and fixed inter-regional trade flows....
