Le but principal d'une compagnie céréalière est de faire la manutention d'autant de grains possibles dans une année donnée avec des marges acceptables. Comme les coûts des sociétés sont fixes pour la plupart, plus les volumes manutentionnés à des marges acceptables sont importants, plus leur profit est important. 5, record 1, French, - compagnie%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9ali%C3%A8re
