An Economic Analysis of a Cross‐market Subsidy Scheme for Morocco′s Food Grain Sector

To contribute to the economic understanding of alternative
food‐grain policy options for Morocco, examines the fiscal implications
of instituting, in addition to the current soft wheat subsidy, a
consumer and producer subsidy in the related markets of hard wheat and
barley. Subsidizing the two related markets has been suggested by some
economists as a possible means of alleviating the subsidy burden through
shifting supply and demand in the soft wheat market. The analysis shows
that the additional subsidies will not alleviate the problem.
