Abstract

Yemen is a rapidly growing importer of wheat and flour with 1992 combined imports of 1.7 million tons. The Yemen wheat market is comprised of three segments--a commercial market (20 percent), a market for imported or domestic wheat flour for home and restaurant use (52 percent), and a consumer market where wheat is sold as grain (28 percent). Yemen buys mainly soft white wheat. Australian wheat quality is preferred to U.S. and European wheat. Wheat quality, however, plays a secondary role in the current economic and institutional environment to export subsidies and the availability of credit.
