Hello,
I'm stuck on "collecteur" in the following sentence:
Depuis la libéralisation du marché céréalier à la fin des années 80, des collecteurs et commerçants disposant de moyens financiers, de transport et de stockage ont remplacé l’Etat et dominent le commerce céréalier.
The document is a report on agricultural development in Mali and this section is about the grain market.
Thanks

grain storer (& marketer)
different from harvesters
if you google grain storage:
"Cooling grain reaps benefits for storers and marketers
Cooling during storage can maintain grain in premium condition and maximise its market potential."
