This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2017 in the subject Agrarian Studies, University of Ibadan (Department of Economics), course: Economics, language: English, abstract: The study was anchored on theories of production and supply response. A Nerlovian supply response model (1956) as modified by Karbasi and Tavana (2008) which captures the impact of trade and exchange rate reforms on agricultural commodities prices and outputs, and with acreage cultivated, labour and cost of agricultural machinery as control variables was explored. Major cash crops (cocoa, palm produce, palm kernel, groundnuts, rubber and cotton) and food (cassava, maize, yam and rice accounting for 28.0% of the 40.0% of staple food output) were purposively selected. Data were collected from the World Trade Organisation Trade Statistics, World Bank UN-COMTRADE statistics and World Development Indicators; Food and Agricultural Organisation Year Book Statistics and Agricultural Market Access Database; Central bank of Nigeria’s Statistical Bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics Annual Abstracts of Statistics. A Structural Vector Autoregression model was estimated via the generalized Impulse response functions and variance decomposition estimation techniques. All estimates were validated at p≤0.05. Trade policy shifted from a restrictive regime in 1970 to a liberalized regime starting from1995. Exchange rate policy similarly moved from a fixed regime in 1970 to a managed/float regime from 1986 to 2013. These reforms had diverse significant effects on both the prices and outputs of all sampled agricultural commodities. Trade effect was positive for palm kernel, cotton, rubber and cassava, while negative for the others. The effects were permanent across the ten commodities, while the elasticities for all the commodities range between 0.002 and 0.05. Exchange rate effect was positive for palm kernel, cotton, maize and rice, while negative for the others. The effects were also permanent except for rubber which was transitory, while elasticities for the commodities range between 0.1 and 2.3. On aggregate, the cost of machinery was found to be negatively related to the commodities outputs. A percentage increase in the cost of machinery brings about a 15.0 percent decline in output. Land and labour were positively and negatively related to output, respectively. An additional acre of land cultivation increased aggregate supply by 31.1%, while an increase in the use of labour decreased output by 19.0%. Trade and exchange rate reforms were critical in explaining the supply responses of sampled commodities, hence, the need for favourable and stable reforms.

Book Synopsis Agricultural Trade and Food Policy by : Malcolm D. Bale
Download or read book Agricultural Trade and Food Policy written by Malcolm D. Bale and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay reviews and generalizes the recent experience of the World Bank in studies undertaken on pricing and trade policy in agriculture in developing countries. Five archetypical countries are used as the basis for comment: Nigeria, Colombia, Philippines, Jamaica, and Pakistan. The motivation behind each of the studies was to gain an understanding of the incentive or disincentive environment in which agriculture operates. Five issues are addressed: (i) structure of the incentive system; (ii) effect of trade and policy interventions on output, farm income, consumer income, and government revenue; (iii) synchronization of agricultural policy with industrial policy and other macroeconomic policies; (iv) relationship of domestic prices to border prices of similar goods; and (v) possible restructuring of agricultural pricing policies and mechanisms to achieve stated goals. The paper finds that direct government intervention in the production, pricing, and distribution of foods on a massive scale is common; there is a profound distrust of the ability of the market to value and allocate resources. However, little thought is given the type of instrument selected, resulting in price distortions with serious allocative and efficiency effects.

Book Synopsis The Role Of Markets In The World Food Economy by : D. Gale Johnson
Download or read book The Role Of Markets In The World Food Economy written by D. Gale Johnson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book extends the discussion of world food problems by giving explicit recognition to the potential role of markets. The authors highlight the contribution of prices to the solution of food problems in low-income countries, for example, by providing adequate incentives to farmers to expand production, assuring that food supplies can be obtained through trade when needed and giving appropriate signals to consumers. They also document the negative effects on food supply and national welfare of the actual price policies of many Third World governments. While recognizing the problems involved in defining and measuring hunger, as well as in improving the food supply, the authors consider the outlook for future food availability as favorable in terms of continued modest improvement in per capita food supplies at prices, adjusted for inflation, that are likely to continue the slow decline of recent decades. One focus of their comments is the positive roles that governments can and should play in the world food economy, especially in support of research, creation of human capital, and provision of appropriate rural infrastructure.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Price and Exchange Rate Policies on Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Kevin M. Cleaver
Download or read book The Impact of Price and Exchange Rate Policies on Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Kevin M. Cleaver and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of this paper are two. Firstly, a review is undertaken of the available literature on the impact of price and exchange rate policies on agriculture in sub - Saharan Africa. Secondly, an empirical analysis is undertaken using data for 31 sub - Saharan African countries to test several of the common hypotheses concerning this policy impact. The findings tend to confirm the predominate view that in sub - Saharan Africa, price and exchange rate policy has an impact on agricultural production. With the exception of a few countries, the impact has been negative. However, the analysis suggests that these policies are not the most important factors affecting agricultural growth. The literature on this subject tends to suggest a general thrust of policy reform appropriate to all African countries. In this article it is argued that there is no stereotype price policy package suitable for all African countries. The reason is that the depth of the policy problem differs considerably between countries, as do policy objectives and other constraints (land, water, markets, social, political, etc).
