Book excerpt: Synopsis: The military general is the newly appointed prime minister of Thailand as of May 2014. The country is developing and needs support from its government in making it more efficient. The former prime minister was ousted, after less than three years in office, under the assumption that their government was spending itself into a hole and that the rice subsidy program was inept and hurting the country. The former prime minister was accused of launching the program in large part to win over the farming community and party votes for the August 2011 election. It is now the decision of the new prime minister whether he will continue on with the government purchase of rice, above market price, or should he break the promise made by the former government and stop the subsidy program from continuing. Learning Objectives: Explain why agricultural prices are unstable. Relate the rationale for farm subsidies and the economic, political, and cultural implications of price supports.

Book excerpt: An empirically based, applied general equilibrium model is used to study the welfare and distributional effects of an export tax when the implementing country possesses some monopoly power in the world market. A method is demonstrated through which a general equilibrium model can be used to find the optimal value of a tax or subsidy. The approach makes it possible to conduct the welfare analysis of a particular intervention in an explicit “second-best” context, to study its income distributional implications, and to explore the sensitivity of the results to variations in key behavioral parameters, structural assumptions, and the government's distributional objectives.

This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy making in food security is at a crossroads in India, particularly for the rice crop. Whereas India has emerged has a leading rice exporter over the last two years, the government has also introduced a large food subsidy program called the National Food Security Act. The program requires that 33.6 million metric tons of rice per year be distributed to the marginalized rural and urban populations of the country. In this study, we analyze the long-term impact of India’s Food Security Act on its domestic rice market and the international market for rice. We specify and apply a structural demand-and-supply model to India’s rice market and link it with the world rice market, as part of a broad partial equilibrium modeling system of international agriculture commodity markets. We specifically focus on three different scenarios—subsidy as a price effect, subsidy as an inelastic income effect, and subsidy as an elastic income effect—under the broader framework of the National Food Security Act. We find that at the end of the projection period (the 2024/2025 crop year), as a result of the rice subsidy program, the consumption of rice increases significantly by 6,831 thousand metric ton (MT) in the case of the price effect while the inelastic income effect has little on production, consumption which increase by 265 thousand MT and 269 thousand MT, respectively and no impact on rice export of India.

Book excerpt: This study focuses on the pricing policy of Thailand broadly conceived. It shows that this policy has been important to the success of Thailand's development policy of the past 30 years, but that changed relative resource availabilities threaten the viability of the present policy; a shift to a new development strategy for agriculture emerges as an important condition for continued development. The focus is on rice because of its predominance in the agricultural sector and as a major component of the Thai diet. The changing situation indicates that Thailand can no longer afford the efficiency losses from rice taxation. Analysis indicates the export taxation of rice constitutes an important disincentive to intensification, price support programs have been ineffective and costly, and government distribution of fertilizer has been detrimental. Recommendations for the sector include: (1) abandonment of the present system of rice export taxes; (2) introduction of an automatic and symmetrical system of temporary taxes and subsidies; (3) elimination of exemptions from payment of the rice premium; and (4) cessation of the present paddy purchasing and distribution operations and phasing out the distribution of subsidized fertilizer.

Download or read book The Rice Crisis written by David Dawe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent escalation of world food prices – particularly for cereals - prompted mass public indignation and demonstrations in many countries, from the price of tortilla flour in Mexico to that of rice in the Philippines and pasta in Italy. The crisis has important implications for future government trade and food security policies, as countries re-evaluate their reliance on potentially more volatile world markets to augment domestic supplies of staple foods. This book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring world prices in the particular case of rice, which is the world's most important source of calories for the poor. Comparable case studies of policy reactions in different countries, principally across Asia, but also including the USA, provide the understanding necessary to evaluate the impact of trade policy on the food security of poor farmers and consumers. They also provide important insights into the concerns of developing countries that are relevant for future international trade negotiations in key agricultural commodities. As a result, more appropriate policies can be put in place to ensure more stable food supplies in the future. Published with the Food and Agriculture (FAO) Organization of the United Nations
