This article examines the work of the London Corn Trade Association (LCTA) in developing tools for measuring produce quality and resolving governance issues in international grain markets. The rules, practices, and routines for international grain traders standardized by LCTA aided commercial decision making, lowered transaction costs and facilitated dispute resolution between private economic actors. Its activities provide an ideal case to study the dynamics of governance in the transformation, expansion, and globalization of agricultural markets between c1880 and 1914. The article concludes that the organization’s real significance lies in its ability to facilitate the acceptance of different quality conventions within the markets, which was predicated upon the measurement infrastructure and standardized contracts LCTA devised for the international grain markets centred around London after c1880.

The International Institute of Agriculture was the first institution to engage in the systematic production and circulation of global data on crops, cultivated areas, and trade flows. This article analyses the process whereby statistical output became recognized as a specific mission of this intergovernmental organization, autonomous from other types of world information systems. We will study the Institute’s Bureau of Statistics, looking at both its organization and its role in gathering, processing, and publishing data. Last, we will examine the international debates and data dissemination strategies of the Institute to identify how the Bureau’s agenda evolved to address new priorities and adapt to the dramatic changes in the structure of world markets.
