  • The Canadian Wheat Board (French: Commission canadienne du blé) was a marketing board for wheat and barley in Western Canada. Established by the Parliament of Canada on 5 July 1935, its operation was governed by the Canadian Wheat Board Act as a mandatory producer marketing system for wheat and barley in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and a small part of British Columbia. It was illegal for any farmer in areas under the CWB's jurisdiction to sell their wheat and barley through any other channel than the CWB. Although often called a monopoly, it was actually a monopsony since it was the only buyer of wheat and barley. It was a marketing agency acting on behalf of Western Canadian farmers, passing all profits from its operation back to farmers. Its market power over wheat and barley marketing was referred to as the "Single Desk". Amid criticism, the Canadian Wheat Board's Single Desk marketing power officially ended on 1 August 2012 as a result of Bill C-18, also known as the , which was tabled by the Harper government and passed in December 2011. The Canadian Wheat Board changed its name to simply CWB, reflecting its changed status. CWB continued to operate as a grain company, although the bill also set a timeline for the eventual privatization of CWB. On 15 April 2015, it was announced that a 50.1% majority stake in CWB would be acquired by Global Grain Group, a joint venture of Bunge Limited and the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company, for $250 million. CWB was combined with the grain assets of Bunge Canada to form G3 Canada Limited. The third-highest sales year for wheat industry in Canada was 2011–2012 when the CWB "sold $7.2-billion worth of grain to more than 70 countries, $4.9 billion of which was paid back to farmers." (en)
  • La Commission canadienne du blé (CCB), établie par le Parlement fédéral en 1935, servait de système de commercialisation pour les producteurs de blé, de blé dur et d'orge de l'ouest canadien, par une mise en commun intégrale des recettes des campagnes de commercialisation. Après plus de 70 ans d'exercice, son monopole - en fait, un monopsone puisqu'il s'agissait d'un « monopole inversé », un acheteur faisant face à plusieurs vendeurs - a pris fin le 1er août 2012, à la suite de l'adoption, le 16 décembre 2011, du très controversé projet de loi C-18, proposé par le gouvernement Harper. Conformément à cette loi, la commission a perdu son monopole et est devenue pendant quelques années une petite compagnie de trading. En juillet 2015, elle a été rachetée par compagnie G3 Global Grain Group (une coentreprise entre Bunge et des investisseurs saoudiens), son nom est désormais G3 Canada. (fr)

  • Кана́дская зернова́я коми́ссия (англ. Canadian Wheat Board) была учреждена Парламентом Канады в 1935 году как система реализации для производителей пшеницы и ячменя. Местопребывание её руководства находится в Виннипеге (Манитоба). Целью Зерновой комиссии является выравнивание конкурентных условий для всех производителей. Фермеры доставляют своё зерно по регламентированному графику. Комиссия выступает как уполномоченный по маркетингу для всех хлеборобов, которые вслед за предварительным платежом получают окончательный платёж, зависящий от цен и совокупных продаж. Согласно официальному веб-сайту КЗК, она контролирует 20 % мирового товарооборота пшеницы и ячменя и поэтому является «крупнейшей в мире организацией по продаже пшеницы и ячменя». (ru)
