Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production gives readers valuable insight into the grain marketing and production systems of China and India. Researchers, scholars, and government officials involved in agricultural commodity economics and marketing will be particularly interested in this work, as few studies have focused on the agriculture of China and India, and even fewer on their grain industries. The grain issue is of crucial importance in China and India, since they are the two most populous countries in the world. In Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production, Author Zhang-Yue Zhou investigates and analyzes the effects of these countries'grain marketing systems on grain production over the past four decades using expert surveys, farm-level surveys, and qualitative analyis of national aggregate data. He sets the stage for future research in this important field as he gives you specific information about: the minimum price support scheme grain procurement methods grain production subsidies government reserve stocks market infrastructures grain movement between regions non-government marketing channels supply responsesThe study's three-step procedure lessens bias, and its cross-checked results further strengthen the validity of its findings. The information presented in Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production helps professionals at research institutes, universities, and government agencies, especially those emphasising Indian, Chinese, or Asian food economics, understand agricultural economics in developing countries. The book is also useful as a supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate classes on Chinese and Indian economies and agricultural commodity economics in developing countries.
Download or read book Grain Marketing written by Gail L Cramer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grain Marketing explores the basic principles and concepts of grain marketing and analyzes the futures and options markets, agricultural policy, grain pricing, and grain marketing structures in the United States, Canada, and the European Community. This text helps students understand the world grain system, trains them to use futures and options, and explains how grain is marketed locally and internationally. The world grain industry affects our daily lives in ways both large and small. It influences what we consume for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and provides at least 40 percent of the world’s food supply. The U.S. and world grain industry affects our income, our investments, and global politics. As world population and therefore global demand for grain grows, the volume handled by the U.S. grain industry will continue to expand, demanding not only improvement in crop yields but also continued efforts to compete in increasingly sophisticated international markets. This newly revised, fully updated text provides a practical, comprehensive overview of grain marketing that is useful to both the upper-level undergraduate studying agricultural marketing and the professional working in the industry. Grain Marketing blends several approaches to the study of commodity marketing, combining the institutional, functional, market structure, and analytical and behavioral systems approach to grain marketing. The book includes basic background information for newcomers to the subject of agricultural marketing as well as more rigorous treatment of advanced subjects. The books overall plan allows the student to follow the movement of the major grains, corn, wheat, and soybeans from farm production to final consumption. Along the way, it provides a detailed description of the worldwide system, encompassing local and multinational corporations, state agencies and boards, national trade and agricultural policies, and the cash and futures markets that serve this industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the foodgrain-marketing problems of Mali and analyzes why numerous proposals for reform have proved infeasible or too difficult to implement. Among the principal findings are: (1) government implementation is severely limited by physical, financial, and organizational factors; (2) the present mixed (government and private) system of marketing cannot be easily improved; (3) uncertainty over prices and general market disorganization divert farmer effort to cash crops and may reduce farmer willingness to develop grain production; (4) since existing co-operative organizations are instruments of government used mainly for grain requisition, farmers are reluctant to set up true co-operatives that could better defend their interests; (5) external assistance including food aid and a line of credit in the Operations Account in Paris has diluted the impact of grain-marketing policies and allowed the Mali government to maintain policies without having to fully absorb the consequences; (6) until very recently, the government had not been presented with well thought through proposals. The paper concludes that in any successful reform the State grain agency will have to play a major role - even under a "minimalist" assumption about the State's role in grain marketing - and that major improvements will result from indirect measures such as improvement and extension of feeder-road networks, better information on crops and marketing and better dissemination of such information, closer attention to relaxation of production constraints on food grains, and improved policy analysis within government. Such indirect changes will widen the options for reform and increase the probability of their adoption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's large and growing population places heavy requirements on domestic grain production. Grain shortages have been a frequent problem in China over the last 50 years. The Chinese government has struggled for many years to find a way of guaranteeing the supply of grain to its citizens, often relying on ineffective or counterproductive policy measures such as forced supply quotas or subsidies. Since the 1970s, the Chinese government has gradually, haltingly introduced policies that seek to introduce market forces and profit incentives to the production of grain. This book analyzes this process, examining advances in grain marketing reforms over the last three decades, the regional grain trade within China, and the level of integration in Chinese grain markets. China has not moved to a full market system. Many characteristics of a centrally planned economy remain, and government intervention is still common. China's future grain supply will depend on the capacity of the Chinese leader
