Book excerpt: The EU integration process is a highly complex process that involves the design and implementation of reforms in a wide range of areas. Although all of the Western Balkan (WB) countries are at different stages of development, they face similar challenges in policy reform and harmonisation, information systems and economic development, coupled with general underdevelopment and limited institutional capacity, which continue to obstruct the reform processes of the Western Balkans. In this context, adopting new policy instruments and approximating them to the EU acquis in agriculture and rural development requires the development of approaches for agricultural data analysis to shed light on what impacts the adopted policies may have on the farming sector. This will allow better understanding of the effectiveness and efficiency of adopted policies and thus can provide scientifically based support to policy making.^More comprehensive knowledge of the effects of individual policy measures on the development of the agricultural sector would allow both national support schemes and the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance for Rural Development (IPARD) to be better targeted. In addition to the policy requirement for integrating the WB countries into the EU, extended regional cooperation is most important for future relations with the EU. It is an essential means of strengthening agriculture and rural development and consequently enhancing economic growth of the region. The main objectives of the report are to monitor and evaluate the current agricultural policy instruments in the WB countries and to compare them with the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The report covers three main aspects in relation to its aims and objectives: - It provides information on developments in the national agriculture policies of WB countries and compares them with EU CAP policies.^- It provides a cross-country comparative analysis of the national agricultural policy instruments and their effects on the food/farming sector. - It analyses the state of harmonisation of agricultural policies of the WB countries with the CAP. The report is a result of continuous work in the region carried out in close cooperation between policy makers and research institutions in the WB countries. The report provides comprehensive information about and analyses of agricultural policy development in the WB countries to support policy making as well as to give a solid basis for future cooperation and continued dynamic dialogue between policy makers and the research community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although at different stages of development, the countries of the Western Balkans—Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia—face similar challenges in transforming and modernizing their agricultural food production (agri-food) sectors. Their rural sectors have lagged behind the rest of the economy in growth and poverty reduction, their agri-food sectors are undercapitalized and highly fragmented, and their agro-processing capacities limited. Agricultural trade deficits are widening, climate change is posing increasing risks to farm incomes, and low-cost imports and changing consumer preferences are further eroding competitiveness. Added to this scenario are the challenges and opportunities of adopting the EU 'acquis communautaire' relating to agriculture. Based on recent World Bank reports prepared in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the European Commission Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development, 'The Changing Face of Rural Space: Agriculture and Rural Development in the Western Balkans' identifies what is constraining agricultural competitiveness in these countries, examines public expenditures in agriculture, and diagnoses key challenges for agricultural policy makers. The book expands on previous findings to provide a strategic policy framework for transforming and modernizing the agri-food sector and, in the context of region’s ongoing process of integration with the European Union, creating a dynamic rural space in the Western Balkans. The book offers Western Balkan governments and international donors a shared vision of the goals and directions their agriculture and rural development policies and programs might take.

Book Synopsis Agriculture for Jobs and Growth in the Western Balkans by : World Bank Group
Download or read book Agriculture for Jobs and Growth in the Western Balkans written by World Bank Group and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agri-food industry, comprising agricultural inputs, primary agricultural production, off-farm food processing, food distribution, food retail and consumption, and other food-related services, is one of the most important industries in the Western Balkans in terms of turnover, jobs and geographic scale. Average turnover of the agri-food industry accounts for 24 percent of total manufacturing turnover in the Western Balkan (WB) region compared to the European Union (EU) average of 15 percent (in 2011) and it is more evenly distributed geographically than other industries. Global evidence suggests that agribusiness has the highest short-term indirect employment impact, where creating one job generates more than double the number of jobs in the rest of the economy. The sector's broad geographic footprint, multiple functions and cross-sector linkages could transform the industry into a powerful driver of value addition, income diversification and innovation in rural areas. The objective of this regional study is to examine how further investment, modernization and transformation of the agriculture and rural economy can contribute to job creation and economic growth in the Western Balkans, while highlighting how better public policies and deeper European integration can help take this process forward. The study aims to better understand the features of agri-food employment in the region, including its potential to generate more, better and more inclusive jobs and to identify transformative (policy) actions that could trigger a structural change towards a more productive use of human and other resources in agriculture.

Book Synopsis Analysis of agriculture and rural development policy in Albania by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Analysis of agriculture and rural development policy in Albania written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albania is on the road to accession to the European Union. In this pre-accession period, the role of agricultural and rural development policy is crucial in order to prepare a viable farming sector that can withstand competitive pressures in the single market after joining the European Union. The economic and financial opportunities that the European Union provides through accessing the single market and the instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are additional strong incentives to prepare the agricultural sector for European Union integration. In order to maximize the benefits of the single market and of CAP measures, Albania needs to adjust agriculture support policies and align them to the CAP. In recent years, Albania has been making efforts to reform its agricultural and rural development policy and align it with the European Union CAP. The vision of the agricultural policy is based on the priorities of the Inter-sectorial Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (ISARD) 2014–2020, the National Strategy for Development and Integration (NSDI-II) 2015–2020, the National Programme for European Integration (NPEI) 2019–2021, GoA Program 2017–2020, as well as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) priorities.

Book Synopsis Regional Economic Development in the Balkan Region by : Teoman Duman
Download or read book Regional Economic Development in the Balkan Region written by Teoman Duman and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume brings together original scientific studies on current economic and developmental issues in the Balkan region, and is composed of papers by 25 authors from seven different countries. The Balkan region has gained significant interest in recent years due to its location and strategic position, representing a doorway to Europe, and the region’s stability and progress have direct consequences on various European countries. Because of this strategic position, there is currently much debate regarding a potential partnership of the Balkan states with the European Union. This book offers insights into the current economic and developmental status of the countries in this region, offering a series of chapters that analyse the area from a variety of perspectives. It begins with a discussion on the recent history of the region, especially with reference to the former Yugoslavia and its break-up after the turbulence experienced in 1990s. Other sections are complementary to each other in that they offer comparisons of the Balkan states in their economic progress at the micro and macro levels. Topics such as European integration policies and effects, economic transition, regional trade, tax incentive policy, regional capital markets, regional development agencies and systems, remittances and foreign aid contributions, import-export policies, fiscal policies, analysis of regional microfinance, and the tourism sectors are explored in detail throughout the book.
Book Synopsis Europe and Central Asia Economic Update, Fall 2021 by : World Bank
Download or read book Europe and Central Asia Economic Update, Fall 2021 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although global economic activity is recovering and output in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) is expected to grow in 2021, containing COVID-19 remains a challenge in the region. Enterprise survey data for the emerging and developing countries in the region show that COVID-19 had a profound and heterogeneous impact on firms. Smaller, younger, and female-run businesses were hit harder and had greater difficulty recovering. But the crisis also played a cleansing role and economic activity in ECA appears to have been reallocated toward more productive firms during the crisis, particularly in countries with more competitive markets. Firms with high pre-crisis labor productivity experienced significantly smaller drops in sales and employment than firms with low pre-crisis labor productivity and were also more likely to adapt to the crisis by increasing online activity and remote work. Many governments in ECA implemented broad policy support schemes to address the initial economic fallout from the crisis. Overall, this government support was more likely to go to less productive and larger firms, regardless of the level of their pre-crisis innovation. As economies enter the economic recovery phase, it will be important for policy makers in all countries to phase out broad policy support measures as soon as appropriate and focus on fostering a competitive business environment, which is key to a strong recovery, resilience to future crises, and sustainable, long-term economic growth.

Download or read book The Irrigation Sector written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's irrigated agriculture sector has been basic to India's economic development and poverty alleviation. One of India's major achievements is its rapid expansion of irrigation and drainage infrastructure. However, the major emphasis on development has been achieved at a cost. The importance put on new construction has diverted attention away from the need to ensure the quality, productivity, and sustainability of the services. Further, a governmental subsidy based approach has been used and this has resulted in irrigation and drainage services which, while enabling significantly higher productivity than from non-irrigated lands, are well below their potential. 'The Irrigation Sector' discusses directions for future growth, the framework for reform, and the reform agenda.
