Topics
Wheat straw as commodity, contribution to overall
income from wheat production
Wheat straw trading as feed back mechanism and
entry point for wheat straw value chain
improvement
Opportunities and limitations of improving wheat
straw through multidimensional wheat
improvement
Wheat straw-grain price
ratios in South Asia

village survey 2009/10
% (n) Normal Peak
Punjab 35 (18) 48 (18)
Haryana 19 (18) 30 (18)
N Teufel et al. (2011)
In Ethiopia in 2006 and 2007 Gebremedhin estimated wheat
straw - grain price ratios of 10 and 27%

Wheat straw collected from
fodder traders and farmers
Note: All samples collected for feeding trials in 04/2009 to validate
laboratory straw quality traits. Acid Detergent Fiber– a cellulose estimate
- was the single important trait

Summary wheat straw trading
Wheat straw can contribute significantly to overall
benefits from wheat cropping
Differences in straw quality still associated with
varieties on village level trading but less in urban
markets
Intuitively small differences in laboratory quality
traits associated with price premiums of about
10% on average
More work/clarity needed in understanding price:
quality relations
