En los años treinta el comercio y los precios se habían desplomado y numerosos países habían implementado medidas para hacer frente al llamado «problema triguero». Sin embargo, en 2010 el comercio internacional de trigo era casi diez veces mayor que tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial y las señales de desintegración en el mercado habían desaparecido. Este artículo analiza las razones que explican la extraordinaria expansión del comercio de trigo entre 1939 y 2010, explora los principales cambios en la distribución de los flujos comerciales y ofrece una explicación a esas transformaciones. La discusión se centra en variables institucionales como las políticas agrarias, el efecto de los acuerdos internacionales y la influencia del cambiante contexto histórico internacional.Asociación Española de Historia Económicae-Spacio UNED20242024-12-2320232023-02-0120232023-02-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14468/25039reponame:e-spacio.
