Book excerpt: Citing a paucity of empirical evidence on the poverty and distributional impacts of trade policy reform in Ghana as the main motivation for this volume, the editors (both of the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research at the U. of Ghana) present eleven papers that combine theory and econometric analysis in an effort to assess linkages between globalization, trade, and poverty (including gendered aspects). Specific topics examined include manufacturing employment and wage effects of trade liberalization; the influence of education on trade liberalization impacts on household welfare; trade liberalization and manufacturing firm productivity; the impact of elimination of trade taxes on poverty and income distribution; food prices, tax reforms, and consumer welfare under trade liberalization; impacts on tariff revenues; and impacts on cash cropping, gender, and household welfare; Distributed in the US by Stylus.

This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study assesses the effects of Agricultural trade liberalization policies on production and poverty reduction among rural smallholder crop farmers in Ghana. Both cross-sectional and secondary data were used in the study. Three hundred (300) respondents were sampled from six (6) districts across the six agro-ecological zones in the country using the simple random sampling technique across the study districts and structured questionnaire was administered to them. Data analysis involved the use of multiple regression analysis and logistic regression to determine the influence of agricultural trade policy variables on the production of (cocoa, maize and rice) and also the influence of agricultural trade policy variables in enhancing or increasing production of the crops under consideration respectively. Descriptive statistics was also employed to summarize the data.The study concluded that Agricultural trade liberalization policies adopted by Ghana in the early 1980s generally have had comparatively much negative effects on the productions of maize and rice than on cocoa.

Download or read book Agricultural Trade and Food Security written by Kevin Watkins and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 1995 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a $16,000 subsidy per farmer in the USA translate into food insecurity for households in Cagayan Valley in the Philippines? How does a few percentage points rise in grain demand in South Korea drive up meat prices in the wet market of Valencia in Cotabato in the Philippines? This book takes us through the interaction of international trade realities and national policies, and how they impact on the survival strategies of even remote households and villages. Knowing and understanding such links raise larger and pressing considerations for development work in many communities. The need for a wider range of tools of analysis and intervention, especially in the field of economics and in macroeconomic policy-making is upon us. This book will attempt to contribute to filling that need, and, hopefully contribute also to efforts at bringing micro development concerns into macro development programmes and policies.

This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can agricultural trade reform serve the needs of the poor? What are the benefits of agricultural trade liberalisation, and what are the potential dangers? This publication includes the proceedings of the OECD global forum on agricultural trade reform, adjustment and poverty, held in Paris in May 2002. Agricultural trade reforms offer an important route to higher incomes for many of the world's poor, but may expose some who were formerly shielded from world markets. Developing countries must be able to reap the benefits of open markets, while retaining the flexibility to help those who are unable, or will take time, to adjust to a new environment. At the same time, OECD countries have a responsibility to consider the effects that their own policies have on the world's poor.

Download or read book Agricultural Trade Liberalization and Small Holder Development written by Chika Charles Aniekwe and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's agricultural system has become globalized, income distribution asymmetrical, and poorer and small-scale households in rural areas turned into net buyers of food, which has heightened the threat to food security and livelihoods, especially for the poorest people in developing countries. Yet, controversy still surrounds the extent to which agricultural market liberalization has impacted on small-holder farmers, especially in developing countries of the global South. The mainstream assumption is that liberalization has benefited small-scale farmers through cooperatives and farmers' associations, better infrastructure, credit facilities and other capacity-building activities. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and focusing on the west African rice farmers, this paper argues that contrary to mainstream assumptions, agricultural trade liberalization has retrogressed small-holder rice farmers' development in West Africa through biased policies such as domestic subsidies, dirty tarification,1 commodity standardization, bilateral trade agreements and other policies that favour rich and industrialized farmers in developed countries over poor agro-ecological small-holder farmers in developing countries, and also through the stripping of public support from the farmers.
