Download or read book Smallholders, globalization and policy analysis written by and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge of meeting the Millennium Development Goals, and particularly the halving of poverty and hunger by 2015, is immense; and particularly so in rural areas where nearly half of the population lives on less than one dollar a day and one-third are undernourished. More than two-thirds of the poor in rural areas are smallholder farmers, whose resources, livelihood patterns and income sources are quite heterogeneous. Smallholders as a group, including the non-poor, still dominate most farming systems of developing countries and, on the positive side, account for a majority of rural employment, most food production and significant export earnings.
Book Synopsis Too much of a good thing? Evidence that fertilizer subsidies lead to overapplication in Egypt by : Kurdi, Sikandra
Download or read book Too much of a good thing? Evidence that fertilizer subsidies lead to overapplication in Egypt written by Kurdi, Sikandra and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a national policy to ensure a certain level of food self-sufficiency in strategic crops, the government of Egypt subsidizes nitrogen fertilizer directly by distributing quotas of subsidized fertilizers to farmers and indirectly by subsidizing natural gas used by local fertilizer factories. The implication of this subsidy on farmers’ fertilizer demand and productivity remains unknown. Using a detailed agricultural survey collected from smallholder farmers in Upper Egypt, we show that nitrogen fertilizer application rates are substantially in excess of crop-specific agronomic recommendations. We exploit eligibility criteria and other sources of variation to show that farm plots with easier access to the subsidy tend to use more subsidized nitrogen fertilizer and less phosphate fertilizer. Easier access to the subsidy increases use of total nitrogen fertilizer per unit of land, mainly because of the increase in subsidized nitrogen fertilizer. In particular, the fertilizer subsidy program in Egypt is associated with significant overapplication of nitrogen fertilizer. Such overapplication of fertilizer is expected to adversely affect soil, water, and environmental health. Our findings have important policy implications for Egypt and other African countries known for input subsidy programs. As Egypt is currently moving on from the successful implementation of a comprehensive macroeconomic reform program towards sector-level reforms, our results suggest that eliminating fertilizer subsidies is a good place to start.

Book Synopsis Creating an Enabling Environment for Private Sector Investment in Fertilizer Value Chains in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Joshua Ariga

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising inorganic fertilizer use in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is widely recognized as critical for promoting agricultural transformation in the region. It is now generally accepted by African governments that in order to develop sustainable fertilizer markets and improve farmers' access to fertilizers, it is necessary to create an enabling environment for private sector investment. The “enabling environment” consists of the policies, laws, and regulations including the institutional infrastructure that guide the conduct of stakeholders (e.g., farmers and fertilizer retailers, importers, etc.) in pursuit of their goals. However, to date, there has been no systematic stock-taking of the types of policies, laws, and regulations that promote versus hinder fertilizer business in SSA. This report describes the current status of enabling environments in the region, reviews the available empirical evidence on the topic, and highlights knowledge gaps where additional research is needed.The report highlights four key findings. First, with the exception of South Africa, there are no current examples in SSA of countries that have competitive, transparent, predictable, and sustainable enabling environments for increased investments in fertilizer value chains. While there are some examples of countries with fairly competitive fertilizer markets but uncertain policy environments (e.g., Kenya and Tanzania), most SSA countries' fertilizer sub-sectors are still predominantly state-run or heavily state-influenced. While most of these countries allow for private sector involvement in these markets, the incentives for private sector investment are low in many cases due to heavy state control and ad hoc policy environments.Second, while there is a large and growing peer-reviewed literature on the targeting and demand-side effects of fertilizer subsidy programs, which are used by numerous SSA governments to improve smallholder farmers' access to fertilizers, there is little rigorous empirical evidence on the supply-side effects of the programs, including program effects on private sector investment.Third, compared to the large overall literature on the effects of fertilizer subsidy programs, there has been virtually no rigorous analysis of how other policies, laws, and regulations affect fertilizer enabling environments or the performance of fertilizer sub-sectors in SSA.Fourth, the existing empirical evidence on the impacts of regulations on private sector participation and investment in fertilizer markets in SSA can be grouped into three broad categories: (i) literature that describes the current status of fertilizer regulations in different countries around the globe and infers or predicts the impacts thereof on the private sector and, in some cases, provides anecdotal evidence to support its predictions (a key example being the World Bank's “Enabling the Business of Agriculture” reports); (ii) studies from outside of SSA on the impacts of deregulation on technology transfer and private sector participation (mostly for products other than fertilizers); and (iii) studies from SSA on the impacts of fertilizer regulations on private sector participation in the fertilizer industry that mainly highlight correlations and descriptive relationships but do not identify the causal effects of the regulations.Given the scant empirical evidence on the effects of laws, regulations, and policies other than subsidies on private sector investment in fertilizer value chains in SSA, there is great need for more research on these topics. The main report highlights specific areas for future research.
