Abstract

Grain quality changes between origin and destination have continued to be important to grain importers and exporters. This article quantifies the quality losses during shipment of soybeans from US ports to European and Japanese destinations and estimates the decrease in value based on these losses. Handling and impact explain the consistent increase in foreign material and splits. The statistically significant increase in oil content is left as a topic requiring additional research. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
