This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the request of the government, a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited Sri Lanka from 11 to 31 March 2023 to estimate the 2023 crop production, forecast the country’s cereal import requirements for the 2023 marketing year, and assess household food security conditions. The request was prompted by expectations of a below‑average agricultural output for the second consecutive year in 2023, owing to the effects of the severe macroeconomic crisis that limited imports of most agricultural inputs.To gather information on the conditions of the agriculture sector and household, and nutrition security, the mission held extensive meetings with staff of various government institutions, in particular the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the Ministry of Irrigation (MoI) and the “Mahaweli” Authority, the Ministry of Fisheries (MoF) and the National Aquaculture Development Authority (NAQDA), the Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies (MoFESNP), the Ministry of Trade (MoT), the Department of National Planning (DNP), the Department of Census and Statistics (DCS), the Department of Meteorology, the Paddy Marketing Board (PMB), the National Fertilizer Office, the Agriculture and Agrarian Insurance Board (AAIB), the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBS) as well as traders, rice and wheat millers ,and agriculture input importers. In addition, the mission held consultations with staff of the World Bank (WB) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).KEYWORDS:

Book Synopsis Digital agriculture in FAO projects in sub-Saharan Africa by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Digital agriculture in FAO projects in sub-Saharan Africa written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is spearheading efforts to leverage digitalization for sustainable agrifood systems. This publication provides a roadmap for accelerating the adoption of impactful digital solutions across the Africa region. With Wageningen University and Research (WUR), the publication offers an in-depth exploration of the current landscape of FAO’s digital agriculture interventions across sub-Saharan Africa, dissecting key projects and their impact on crop production, risk reduction, and value chain enhancement. Through an extensive survey and analysis of 72 projects spanning various agricultural subsectors, the publication sheds light on the prevalence of digital tools in enhancing crop production and livestock management, and on the disparities in digital adoption across different subregions. The publication underscores the critical role of digital literacy and infrastructure in driving the success of digital agriculture initiatives, emphasizing the imperative of inclusivity. It also highlights the need for fostering awareness, building capacity, and advocating for improved digital access and governance to unlock the full potential of digital solutions for Africa. Among the key findings are the predominant use of simpler digital technologies such as mobile applications and SMS services, signalling the importance of user-friendly solutions tailored to the needs of farmers. However, it also underscores the necessity of embracing more advanced technologies to address complex challenges such as climate resilience and supply chain management.
Book Synopsis Food prices and the wages of the poor: A low-cost, high-value approach to high-frequency food security monitoring by : Headey, Derek D.
Download or read book Food prices and the wages of the poor: A low-cost, high-value approach to high-frequency food security monitoring written by Headey, Derek D. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International food prices have become increasingly volatile in recent decades, with “global food crises” in 2008, 2011 and most recently in 2022. The 2008 crisis prompted international agencies to ambitiously extend their monitoring of domestic food prices in developing countries to strengthen early warning systems and food and nutrition surveillance. However, food inflation by itself is not sufficient for measuring disposable income or food affordability; for that, one must measure either changes in income or changes in an income proxy. Here we propose the use of a low-cost income proxy that can be monitored at the same high frequency and spatial granularity as food prices: the wages of poor unskilled workers. While not all poor people are unskilled wage earners, changes in the real “reservation wages” of low skilled activities are likely to be highly predictive of changes in disposable income for poorer segments of society (Deaton and Dreze 2002). We demonstrate this by estimating changes in “food wages” – wages deflated food price indices – during well-documented food price crises in Ethiopia (2008, 2011 and 2022), Sri Lanka (2022) and Myanmar (2022). In all these instances, food wages declined by 20-30%, often in the space of a few months. Moreover, in Myanmar we use a household panel survey data to show that the decline in food wages over the course of 2022 closely matches estimate declines in household disposable income and proportional increases in income-based poverty. We argue that the affordability of nutritious food for “all people, at all times” is a critically important dimension of food security, and we advocate for monitoring the wages of the poor as a cheap and accurate means of capturing that dimension.
Book Synopsis Sri Lanka by : International Monetary
Download or read book Sri Lanka written by International Monetary and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Lanka fell into an unprecedented crisis as a result of a series of shocks and policy missteps. Debt rose to unsustainable levels resulting from large fiscal imbalances, and access to international capital markets was lost soon after large tax cuts and the onset of the COVID-19. Reserves were depleted, leading to a sharp exchange rate depreciation, and debt service was suspended in the spring of 2022. Sizable monetary financing to meet fiscal obligations contributed to a surge in inflation. Sri Lanka’s economy is in deep recession and financial stability is at risk given the tight financialsovereign nexus. People are suffering from food and energy shortages, exacerbating deep-rooted public dissatisfaction and creating a vulnerable political and social environment.

Book excerpt: At the request of the Government of Sri Lanka, a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) took place in June and July 2022 to analyse the country’s agricultural production in 2022, particularly of the main staple cereals, and to assess households’ food security conditions. The request was prompted by expectations of a well below agricultural output in 2022, owing to the effects of the severe macroeconomic crisis, which also pushed up food prices to record or near-record levels. This caused a significant worsening of households’ food security.

Book excerpt: This Selected Issues paper reviews the evolution of inequality in Ethiopia and discusses the role of various macroeconomic policies as well as structural factors. With a Gini coefficient of 30, Ethiopia remains among the most egalitarian countries in the world. The most vulnerable households seem to experience less benefit from growth than those in the higher income deciles. In terms of tax revenue collection, Ethiopia faces the typical challenges of a developing country. It is required that Ethiopia builds on its successful experience with the Productive Safety Net Program to address the growing needs of the urban poor.

Book excerpt: This Technical Assistance Report on Zambia highlights the dissemination of external sector statistics during the Department for International Development—Enhanced Data Dissemination Initiative 2 Project Module 1. The mission recommended breakdowns in the International investment position (IIP) table that are of analytical relevance, such as government securities issued abroad and issued domestically, and loan liabilities of the government and other sectors. The integrated IIP is key to verifying the consistency between the positions, the transactions, and other changes. The accuracy of the components within the international reserves in the balance of payments and in the IIP can be further improved. Valuations changes in positions are being included in the balance of payments for some components, such as government external debt and reserve assets, and should be removed from transactions. In order to support progress in different work areas, the mission recommended a detailed action plan with several priority recommendations.

This book was released on 1977-01-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study is to review these concepts and to estimate consistent series of potential output in manufacturing for Canada, the United States, Japan, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Sweden for the period 1955–1975. Potential output series are also projected for the medium term (1976–1978) based on forecasts of available resources. The production function method is selected as the best approach to derive potential output series. The function used in the paper is a modified Cobb–Douglas function that allows for economies of scale and cyclical variations in the intensity of use of employed labor and of the capital stock. The study concludes that the rate of growth of potential output in manufacturing is now lower in most industrial countries than it was in the late 1960s. However, the fall is not as large as is often claimed, so that the output gaps early in 1976 were extremely high in all the major industrial countries. The principal reasons for the slowdown in the rate of growth of potential output are the lower rate of capital accumulation and the reduction of the normal workweek, rather than the direct effect of the increase in the price of energy.
