Abstract
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.
