Une fois ce chapitre achevé, vous aurez atteint les objectifs suivants : 1. Connaître les principales étapes d'une transaction sur le marché au comptant; 2. Comprendre les diverses méthodes par lesquelles on peut réduire les risques à chacune de ces étapes. Nous donnerons dans le présent chapitre un aperçu des principales étapes de la vente d'une marchandise, soit la livraison, la fixation du prix, le transfert du titre de propriété et le règlement. Nous analyserons les divers types de contrats utilisés pour réduire les risques liés à chaque étape de l'opération et nous en comparerons les avantages à ceux qu'offrent d'autres moyens possibles. Nous tiendrons aussi compte du fait que des opérations commerciales parallèles s'effectuent simultanément sur le marché à terme. Nous traiterons en outre les rapports qui peuvent s'établir avec ce dernier. 2, record 8, French, - transaction%20sur%20le%20march%C3%A9%20au%20comptant

Harmonization at the farm gate involves reconciling two radically different approaches in the two countries to attuning the collective concerns with individual pursuit of market imperfection. The Canadian "countervailing market power" model of the Canadian Wheat Board for export grain and supply management for feathers and milk contrasts sharply with the United States model of a "treasury floor" under agricultural terms of trade for cereals and oilseeds and unrestrained contract farming for the industrializing livestock sector. 2, record 9, English, - treasury%20floor
