Abstract
There is currently a lack of information regarding the values of Australia's wheat and flour characteristics. A hedonic price function is applied to Australia's wheat exports over the period 1976-1977 to 1990-1991 to estimate the implicit prices of wheat and flour characteristics. The results suggest that protein is the most important wheat characteristic with a premium of $8.80|T|percentage point. Other wheat characteristics such as thousand-kernel weight and ash content are also found to have significant premiums and discounts. For flour, protein with a premium of $5.34|T|percent-age point and color grade are the most important characteristics. The implications of the results for policy formulation in relation to the grading system, breeding programs, and marketing are discussed. ©1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
