Les acheteurs et les vendeurs de marchandises comme les grains, qui font l'objet de transactions considérables, doivent disposer des moyens nécessaires pour s'entendre rapidement sur les prix et les conditions de vente. Ils y parviennent généralement en recourant à l'une des trois méthodes suivantes : ententes particulières, vente publique ou marché ouvert. Dans le marché ouvert, de nombreux acheteurs et vendeurs négocient entre eux publiquement. Dans l'industrie céréalière, ces transactions s'effectuent aux «Bourses de commerce» ou «Bourses des denrées».
