This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year exchanges introduce new futures contracts in the hope to see those garnering volumes but majority of these contracts have never attracted volumes and died their own death. The history of contract innovation is replete with failures. The aim of this study is an attempt to revisit and decipher the determinants of a successful futures contract with the focus on agriculture commodity futures contracts traded in India. This study also raises concern and doubts the utility of SEBI's long list of criteria for eligibility of a commodity contract and its likely success as circulated in the year 2017. The critical issue is does an exhaustive checklist of criterion as proposed by SEBI guarantees success or the modus operandi should be to explore and understand which is that inherent need that a successful contract satisfies which unsuccessful doesn't. .This issue also has a direct bearing on the viability of having futures and option contract for varying commodities and assets. Is success of a commodity more of a magic than a science is the main debate which has been discussed. Using panel random effects model on 30 agriculture future contracts traded on NCDEX in India from 2003-2016, the study found that volatility in the spot prices of the underlying commodity is the most important determinant followed by hedging effectiveness of contract and presence of hedgers. Contrary to the previous studies, size of the underlying commodity, activeness of spot market, homogeneity did not prove to be significant which highlights an important aspect for policy makers and academicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to determine the factors contributing to the success or failure of agricultural futures contracts. Commodities with futures markets and without futures markets were selected and analyzed with respect to their product homogeneity, vertical integration, buyer concentration, activeness of their cash market, cash price variability, and size of their cash market. Homogeneity, vertical integration, buyer concentration, and activeness of the cash market were measured by the Delphi approach. An active cash market is a necessary condition for futures contract success. The structure of the marketing channel, the size of the cash market, the activeness of the cash market, the effectiveness of the grading system (homogeneity), liquidity cost, the ability of the own hedge market to bear more risk than the existing cross hedge market, and cash price variability are important in explaining differences in volume and open interest among existing futures markets. Results also suggest that none of the non-traded commodities considered is likely to have a successful contract if it were traded; since, none have an active cash market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continued population growth, rapidly changing consumption patterns and the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are driving limited resources of food, energy, water and materials towards critical thresholds worldwide. These pressures are likely to be substantial across Africa, where countries will have to find innovative ways to boost crop and livestock production to avoid becoming more reliant on imports and food aid. Sustainable agricultural intensification - producing more output from the same area of land while reducing the negative environmental impacts - represents a solution for millions of African farmers. This volume presents the lessons learned from 40 sustainable agricultural intensification programmes in 20 countries across Africa, commissioned as part of the UK Government's Foresight project. Through detailed case studies, the authors of each chapter examine how to develop productive and sustainable agricultural systems and how to scale up these systems to reach many more millions of people in the future. Themes covered include crop improvements, agroforestry and soil conservation, conservation agriculture, integrated pest management, horticulture, livestock and fodder crops, aquaculture, and novel policies and partnerships.

Download or read book Successes in African Agriculture written by Haggblade, Steven and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SubSaharan Africa is one of the poorest regions of the world. Because most Africans work in agriculture, escaping such dire poverty depends on increased agricultural productivity to raise rural incomes, lower food prices, and stimulate growth in other economic sectors. Per capita agricultural production in subSaharan Africa has fallen, however, for much of the past halfcentury. Successes in African Agriculture investigates how to reverse this decline. Instead of cataloging failures, as many past studies have done, this book identifies episodes of successful agricultural growth in Africa and identifies processes, practices, and policies for accelerated growth in the future. The individual studies follow developments in, among other areas, the farming of maize in East and Southern Africa, cassava across the middle belt of Africa, cotton in West Africa, horticulture in Kenya, and dairying in East Africa. Drawing on these case studies and on consultations with agricultural specialists and politicians from across subSaharan Africa -- undertaken in collaboration with the African Union's New Partnership for Africa's Development -- the contributors identify two key determinants of positive agricultural performance: agricultural research to provide more productive and sustainable technologies to farmers and a policy framework that fosters market incentives for increasing production. The contributors discuss how the public and private sectors can best coordinate the convergence of both factors. Given current concerns about global food security, this book provides timely and important resources to policymakers and development specialists concerned with reversing the negative trends in food insecurity and poverty in Africa.

This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature on entrepreneurship research has generally ignored the agricultural sector. Few entrepreneurship scholars who are mostly agricultural economists and rural sociologists have contributed in parallel with an isolated body of work without much integration and a larger research agenda. Most of the work in agriculture entrepreneurship focuses on the traditional operations of the sector but lacks the theoretical framework required for a broader conceptual understanding of entrepreneurship in the agriculture sector. There is not much alliance between these two parallel research streams. Theoretical and methodological differences have constrained the interdisciplinary collaboration. Driving Factors for Venture Creation and Success in Agricultural Entrepreneurship assesses the main themes of agripreneurship, discusses important contextual aspects of the agriculture sector to enhance the understanding of entrepreneurship, and highlights how the key contextual dimensions of the agricultural sector can elucidate some of the less understood aspects of entrepreneurship theory and practice. Covering topics such as agribusiness and farm entrepreneurship, it is ideal for entrepreneurs, agriculturalists, professionals, researchers, students, academicians, and policymakers working in the field of entrepreneurship in various disciplines: management, education, agriculture education, sociology, economics, psychology, and technology.

This book was released on 2002-02-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transgenic crops offer the promise of increased agricultural productivity and better quality foods. But they also raise the specter of harmful environmental effects. In this new book, a panel of experts examines: • Similarities and differences between crops developed by conventional and transgenic methods • Potential for commercialized transgenic crops to change both agricultural and nonagricultural landscapes • How well the U.S. government is regulating transgenic crops to avoid any negative effects. Environmental Effects of Transgenic Plants provides a wealth of information about transgenic processes, previous experience with the introduction of novel crops, principles of risk assessment and management, the science behind current regulatory schemes, issues in monitoring transgenic products already on the market, and more. The book discusses public involvementâ€"and public confidenceâ€"in biotechnology regulation. And it looks to the future, exploring the potential of genetic engineering and the prospects for environmental effects.
