摘要：State trading enterprises are far more prevalent in agriculture than in otherindustries. STEs account for significant shares of world trade in grains, dairyproducts, and sugar. Attempts to measure the impacts of STEs and their activi-ties on international agricultural trade have just begun. This report presents aclassification scheme for STEs that provides a qualitative index of an STE.sability to control domestic markets and its ability to influence external trade. Weapplied the classification scheme to nine major agricultural STEs and concludedthat only a few of them are able to affect international trade substantially.Recent policy reforms have eroded some of the nine.s powers to influence trade.
