Suriland’s wheat farmers have higher production costs than do farmers in many other wheat- producing countries.

Sale of a substantial proportion of Suriland’s wheat crop on the world market would probably depress the price of wheat.

The transportation and brokerage costs that Suriland’s farmers would face if they sold their wheat outside Suriland could amount to almost a dollar per bushel.

Suriland is surrounded by countries that do not import any wheat.

The price of a bushel of wheat on the world market occasionally drops below the average cost of producing a bushel of wheat in Suriland.
