Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of agriculture in Indonesia in supplying food to the country's economy. Analysis of the general inter-relationship between the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors of a developing, densely-populated economy, and the sectorial interdependence viewed in relation to the supply and demand for food during the development process, provides a general framework of reference for the analysis of the food problems in Indonesia. The data originate from two basic sources: (1) Primary data from the various institutions involved in and responsible for the food economy in Indonesia. Much of these data were collected in Indonesia, and in part they were an outgrowth of the writer's work there. (2) Secondary data from published sources. Use of the food balance sheet shows that the common pattern of the Indonesian diet is characterized by a high starchy staple ratio and staples, rice is the most important. Through a comparison of these results with the nutritional standards calculated on the basis of methods suggested by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the nutritional status of the Indonesian people is evaluated. By both qualitative and quantitative standards, the average diet of the Indonesian people is poor. Demand for food in Indonesia will increase significantly in the near future, primarily due to the population and income effect. From use of Okhawa's demand equation, major shifts are expected toward the consumption of more rice and more protective foods. Any rise in per capita income will bring strong pressure to increase the proportion of starches that are supplied by rice. To meet this growing demand, the need is to increase domestic production rather than commercial imports. Trends in the production of the six major farm food crops have been constructed and analyzed for the period of 1950 - 1965. With the exception of groundnuts, per capita production of these crops kept up with population growth. However, for the main food item, rice, the rate of increase of per capita production was lower than that of the per capita consumption. This gap resulted in the importation of huge amounts of rice. Analysis of the conditions of food production leads to the conclusion, that three factors are mainly responsible for the production gap: First, the prevalence of disguised unemployment in the food industry; second, the lack of adequate credit facilities and capital in the rural areas; third, the lack of an efficient marketing organization. Because of the inadequacies in these three important aspects of the institutional framework, the process of adapting new technologies and inputs to the production of food is slow. Speed is crucial. In view of the population problem, the longer the present trends are permitted to continue, the more difficult it will be to close the production gap. Analysis of these three factors leads to the following conclusions: (1) Industrialization is a necessary condition for expanding food production and over-all economic development, in order to absorb the surplus agricultural labor force. (2) Marketing reform is needed to improve the institutional framework in the producing areas, in order to maximize the rate of growth of food production. This reform includes providing adequate and efficient credit facilities, promoting competition in the food market at the local level, and improving the infrastructure.

Download or read book New Challenges to Food Security written by Ian Christoplos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food security is high on the political agenda. Fears about societal insecurity due to food price increases and hunger, grave scenarios regarding the effects of climate change and general uncertainty about the impacts of investments in biofuels and so-call “land grabbing” on food prices and availability have meant that food security is now recognised as being a multifaceted challenge. This book is unique in that it will bring together analyses of these different factors that impact on food security. This volume will describe a range of different perspectives on food security, with an emphasis on the various meanings that are applied to food security “crisis”. The challenges to be reviewed include market volatility, climate change and state fragility. Analyses of responses to food security crises and risk will cover rural and urban contexts, arenas of national policy formation and global food regimes, and investment in land and productive technologies. This book is unique in two respects. First, it takes a step back from the normative literature focused on specific factors of, for example, climate change, agricultural production or market volatility to look instead at the dynamic interplay between these new challenges. It helps readers to understand that food security is not one discourse, but is rather related to how these different factors generate multiple risks and opportunities. Second, through the case studies the book particularly emphasises how these factors come together at local levels as farmers, entrepreneurs, consumers, local government officials and others are making key decisions about what will be done to address food security and whose food security will be given priority. The book will explore how food production and consumption is embedded in powerful political and market forces and how these influence local actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Southeast Asian Economics offers new insights into the rapidly-developing economies of Southeast Asia. Despite widespread initial deprivation, Southeast Asia has achieved and sustained a remarkable rate of growth, in the course of which tens of millions have successfully escaped severe poverty. Though the economies of the region vary in many dimensions, integration into the wider East Asian network of production and trade is a notable common feature, one that continues a centuries-long history of engagement with global trade. A second striking feature is the pace and extent of transformation in the structure of production and in sources of household income in the region, which has undergone remarkably rapid industrialization and urban growth. However, the search for sustained and sustainable growth through and beyond middle-income continues to confront pressing economic and policy challenges. This Handbook offers a timely and comprehensive overview of Southeast Asian economic development. Organized according to the logic of chronological and thematic unity, it is structured in these sections: Growth and development over the long term Food, agriculture and natural resources Trade, investment and industrialization Population, labor, and human capital Poverty and political economy Twenty-first century challenges This original Handbook, written by experts in their fields, is unique in the breadth and depth of its coverage. Its forward-looking perspective renders it relevant both now and in the future. This advanced level reference work will be essential reading for students, researchers and scholars of Asian Studies, Economics and Southeast Asian studies.

Download or read book North South Grain Markets And Trade Policies written by David Blandford and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is composed of a series of case studies. The countries included reflect the interest and experience of the authors who collaborated in preparing the volume. No attempt was made to provide representative coverage based upon a comprehensive classiftcation of countries, which is why there are no chapters dealing with such exporters as Argentina or Thailand or importers such as Egypt or Japan. Despite the somewhat eclectic geographical mix, many of the fundamental issues that face the North and the South, both individually and collectively, are illustrated by the case countries. We would argue that there is much to be learned about the effective implementation of policy choices and the constraints that policymakers face by looking at individual country experiences, rather than by attempting to generalize on the basis of an abstract theoretical framework There is a dearth of information on what countries actually do in managing domestic grain markets.
Download or read book East West Perspectives on 21st Century Urban Development written by John Brotchie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999. Analyzing and chronicling the continued development of key information, communication and fast transport networks at a global and regional level, this book looks at the transition to an information-based economy, and its urban impacts, at a global, regional and city level. The book outlines the change by defining it as the third great societal transition in the history of human settlement, and points to key factors that have fuelled progress. These include the growth of global telecommunications and fast transport networks; the coming together of information and communication technologies and their links to transport and land use; the shift to information and knowledge as a resource base for new industries; the increasing movement of people and information; the emergence of cities as economic entities, network nodes, and centres for generating, exchanging and processing information, and, most significantly, the competition among cities for these new key elements of of the urban economy.
