Download or read book The Economic Feasibility of Soybean Production in Oregon written by David Lee Holst and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercial production of soybeans in Oregon has been limited. In 1977, less than 1,500 acres were grown, primarily in the Columbia Basin area. However, interest in soybeans as a possible "new crop" for Oregon has arisen because of the (1) recent strong soybean price, (2) the high cost of transporting soybean meal and oil to the Pacific Northwest, (3) Oriental demand for soybeans, and (4) search for another crop alternative for newly irrigated cropland. The Oregon State University Agricultural Experiment Station has determined that soybean production in Oregon is technically feasible. However, information is lacking as to the economic feasibility of soybean production in Oregon. The agronomic feasibility of soybean production in Oregon was first reviewed. General agronomic requirements for soybean production were compared with typical weather conditions and soils found in the major agricultural centers of Oregon. It was concluded that the Ontario, Columbia Basin, and Willamette Valley areas possess the greatest agronomic potential for soybean production in Oregon. The irrigated crops considered to be soybeans' primary competitors were identified in each of the three regions. Typical costs and returns were estimated for the competing crops based on 1976 costs of production and normal yields and prices. Cultural operations and input requirements for soybean production in Oregon were based on what typically has been done in the major soybean producing areas of the United States. Costs of producing soybeans were then estimated based on the same assumptions used for the competing crops. Soybean yields were based on Agricultural Experiment Station variety trials and the experience of the limited number of commercial growers in Oregon. The yield, price, and cost data along with agronomically sound crop rotations were analyzed using linear programming models for a typical farm in each region. An estimate of the minimum price necessary for soybeans to compete with the other crop alternatives was determined. The results indicated that for the successful introduction of, soybeans the price per bushel could be no lower than $11.22, $10.15, and $8.25 in the Willamette Valley, Columbia Basin, and Ontario areas, respectively. Four potential marketing alternatives which may exist for Oregon-grown soybeans were identified: (1) exporting raw soybeans to Japan; (2) exporting raw soybeans to other regions of the United States; (3) processing soybeans at Portland to meet the Pacific Northwest demand for meal and oil; and (4) processing soybeans at Portland and exporting meal and oil to other regions of the United States. The alternatives were evaluated using the Decatur base-point pricing scheme to determine the maximum Portland soybean price that could be offered. The results indicate that the variability in the maximum Portland price may range from $2.69 to $10.07 per bushel based on data for the past six years. The lack of data and current experience limited the evaluation of two other potential marketing alternatives: (1) on-farm use of raw soybeans and (2) processing soybeans at Portland and exporting meal and oil to Japan. The economic feasibility of soybean production was analyzed by (1) subtracting the average transportation costs to Portland from each of the three areas from the maximum Portland soybean prices and (2) comparing the results with the minimum price required for soybeans to successfully compete with the alternate crops in each of the areas derived from the linear programming analyses. Based on the assumptions and data used in this study, it was concluded that soybean production in Oregon is not economically feasible at this time. The minimum prices required by farmers to grow soybeans ranged from $0.65 to $3.36 per bushel higher than the average prices which would have been offered over the past six years. Changes in energy costs for transportation, irrigation pumping, and fertilizer production, as well as the development of new, higher-yielding varieties suited to Oregon could improve the outlook for soybean production.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, SIld disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna and broader dissemination. tional publishing house to assure improved service Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 30 (thesis year 1985) a total of 12,400 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 186 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an in-depth analysis of the political economy of soybean production in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, by identifying the dominant private and public actors and control mechanisms that have given rise to a corporate-driven, vertically integrated system of regionalized agricultural production in the Southern Cone of South America. The current agricultural boom surrounding soybean production has been aided by aggressive new agro-technologies, including biotechnology, leading to massive organizational changes in the agricultural sector and a significant rise in the power of special interest groups and corporations. Despite having similar initial production conditions, the pattern of economic activity surrounding soybean production in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, continues to be largely determined by the needs of the multinational corporations involved, rather than national considerations of comparative advantage. The author uses these findings to argue that the new international model of agricultural production empowers chemical and trading multinational companies over national governments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global value chains (GVCs) powered the surge of international trade after 1990 and now account for almost half of all trade. This shift enabled an unprecedented economic convergence: poor countries grew rapidly and began to catch up with richer countries. Since the 2008 global financial crisis, however, the growth of trade has been sluggish and the expansion of GVCs has stalled. Meanwhile, serious threats have emerged to the model of trade-led growth. New technologies could draw production closer to the consumer and reduce the demand for labor. And trade conflicts among large countries could lead to a retrenchment or a segmentation of GVCs. World Development Report 2020: Trading for Development in the Age of Global Value Chains examines whether there is still a path to development through GVCs and trade. It concludes that technological change is, at this stage, more a boon than a curse. GVCs can continue to boost growth, create better jobs, and reduce poverty provided that developing countries implement deeper reforms to promote GVC participation; industrial countries pursue open, predictable policies; and all countries revive multilateral cooperation.

This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetically engineered (GE) crops were first introduced commercially in the 1990s. After two decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based on their concerns about possible adverse effects on human health, the environment, and ethical considerations. At the same time, others are concerned that the technology is not reaching its potential to improve human health and the environment because of stringent regulations and reduced public funding to develop products offering more benefits to society. While the debate about these and other questions related to the genetic engineering techniques of the first 20 years goes on, emerging genetic-engineering technologies are adding new complexities to the conversation. Genetically Engineered Crops builds on previous related Academies reports published between 1987 and 2010 by undertaking a retrospective examination of the purported positive and adverse effects of GE crops and to anticipate what emerging genetic-engineering technologies hold for the future. This report indicates where there are uncertainties about the economic, agronomic, health, safety, or other impacts of GE crops and food, and makes recommendations to fill gaps in safety assessments, increase regulatory clarity, and improve innovations in and access to GE technology.
