Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper assesses the impact that a potential liberalization of sugar regimes in OECD countries could have on household labor income and poverty in Brazil. The authors first estimate the extent of price transmission from world markets to 11 Brazilian states to capture the fact that some local markets may be relatively more isolated from changes in world prices. They then simultaneously estimate the impact that changes in domestic sugar prices have on regional wages and employment depending on worker characteristics. Finally, they measure the impact on household income of a 10 percent increase in world sugar prices. Results suggest that workers in the sugar sector and in sugar-producing regions have better employment opportunities and experience larger wage increases. More interestingly, households at the top of the income distribution experience larger income gains due to higher wages, whereas households at the bottom of the distribution experience larger income gains due to movements out of unemployment.

Download or read book World Raw Sugar Prices written by Stephen Haley and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-03 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World sugar prices are forecast to remain above current support levels through 2021. Understanding the dynamics that affect the world price of sugar is imperative for U.S. sugar policy. There are three basic determinants of medium- to long-term world raw sugar pricing. The first is the long-term equilibrium relationship between world raw sugar prices and costs of producing sugar in Brazil, the world's largest sugar producer and exporter. An important effect on costs operates through the Brazilian currency exchange rate with the U.S. dollar. The second is the effect of medium-term world sugar supply-demand imbalances on pricing. Relative stockholding has an important effect on the sensitivity of the world sugar prices to changes in overall world sugar availability. The third is a risk-related component: how current prices are affected by errors in forecasting supply and demand balances of previous years due to unanticipated events. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
Download or read book Brazil s Sugarcane Sector written by Brent Borrell and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brazil sugar and ethanol story is as follows: direct government intervention overrides market forces, markets undergo dramatic change, intervention establishes vested interests, rent-seeking blocks adjusment to market change, economic objectives become blurred behind political objectives, opportunities go begging, industry profitability suffers, and national income is foregone. A simple economic model of the Brazilian sugarcane sector and policy, interventions is used to measure the costs of existing policies and to develop better policies. Bazil is an efficient producer of sugar, but policy intervention causes: underproduction of sugarcane, the wrong mix of sugar and ethanol from cane (too much ethanol, not enough sugar), missed opportunities to market ethanol in high value uses (as an octane enhancer and clean fuel), and missed opportunities to make the work sugar market more competitive. Adopting more market based policies could be worth billions of dollars extra to Brazil annually.

Download or read book The Economics of Brazil s Ethanol Sugar Markets Mandates and Tax Exemptions written by Dusan Drabik and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugarcane in Brazil is processed into sugar and/or ethanol, often in flex plants that can switch between the two products. We develop an economic model of flex plants, export demands, and two domestic fuel demand curves for a blend of ethanol with gasoline consumed by conventional cars, and ethanol consumed only by flex cars. We analyze the market impacts of the following policies: the blend mandate; fixing gasoline prices below world prices; the high gasoline tax; and a higher tax exemption for ethanol blended with gasoline. Because Brazilian and U.S. ethanol prices have become linked, a change in Brazilian ethanol policy or a shock in world sugar markets can now impact U.S. ethanol and corn prices. We show that in theory, each policy analyzed has an ambiguous impact on ethanol and sugar prices. Empirically, however, a low gasoline tax and a high tax exemption for ethanol used in the fuel blend reduce ethanol and sugar prices; this contradicts conventional wisdom. Overall, we find that policy reforms implemented in 2010 offset the ethanol price increase by about 27% due to outward shifts in fuel transportation and sugar export demand curves, and due to a reduced sugarcane supply caused by bad weather. Our model illustrates the importance of Brazil's ethanol policies on world commodity markets; it also provides insight into how the Brazilian government can adjust policies to better control domestic inflation while minimizing impacts on investment.
Download or read book Sugar Policies written by Donald Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugar is one of the most policy distorted of all commodities, and the European Union, Japan, and the United States are among the worst offenders. But internal changes in the E.U. and U.S. sugar and sweetener markets and international trade commitments make change unavoidable and provide the best opportunity for policy reform in several decades. The nature of reforms can have very different consequences for developing countries. If existing polices in the E.U. and the U.S. are adjusted to accommodate higher imports under international commitments, many low-cost producers, such as Brazil, will lose because they do not currently have large quotas and are not included among the preferential countries. The benefits of sugar policy reform are greatest under multilateral reform, and according to recent studies, the global welfare gains of removal of all trade protection are estimated to total as much as $4.7 billion a year. In countries with the highest protection (Indonesia, Japan, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and the U.S.), net imports would increase by an estimated 15 million tons a year, which would create employment for nearly one million workers in developing countries. World sugar prices would increase by as much as 40 percent, while sugar prices in countries that heavily protect their markets would decline. Developing countries that have preferential access to the E.U. or U.S. sugar markets are likely to lose some of these preferences as sugar policies change. However, the value of preferential access is less than it appears because many of these producers have high production costs and would not produce at world market prices.

Download or read book Projecting World Raw Sugar Prices written by Stephen Haley and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three factors are critical to the long-term outlook for U.S. sugar supply and use: the U.S. sugar program, the availability of sugar imports from Mexico, and the level of sugar prices in the world market. This report presents a modeling framework that can be used to generate world sugar price projections. In addition to using the traditional world supply and demand analysis, the modeling framework emphasizes the role of Brazil, the world's largest producer of sugarcane, sugar, and sugarcane-based ethanol. The resulting model is intended to improve the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's (USDA's) world sugar price forecasts and enhance scenario analyses to derive implications for future world prices and U.S. sugar policy. The report includes documentation, analysis, and model projections for world sugar markets through 2024/25. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
Download or read book The Impact of World Sugar Economy Toward Sugar Largest Exporters and Importers written by Dyana Sari and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world sugar economy has changed a large amount within a less of century because of economic and politic situation in the country which may transform an exporter to be importer. However, there are several factors may influence the transformation and those are forecasted to see how far those affect the sugar exporters and importers. To comprehend world sugar economy in details, there is a need to make a research to see the impact of the situation of world sugar economy from the theory of agricultural economics' perspective. Time series data of 1983-2013 has been utilized through econometric method and technique and it run through SAS version 9 tool. The result says, world sugar price is not affected by world sugar export, even sugar import may influence world sugar price. World sugar price also doesn't affect to either world sugar export from sugar exporters and importer. In Brazil, world ethanol price is also not significant to influence its sugar export, even it seems sugar and ethanol compete each other. Variable of sugar production in each country supports its sugar export variable, especially for largest sugar exporters. However, sugar domestic demand thoroughly influences to the export of each country. Last year sugar export is correlated with current sugar export. Domestic sugar demand in EU doesn't influence sugar import of EU, while in USA it does. The experience of sugar import in previous years do influence the current sugar import. Indonesia should be aware of continuity of sugar import.
Download or read book Tropical Babylons written by Stuart B. Schwartz and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that sugar, plantations, slavery, and capitalism were all present at the birth of the Atlantic world has long dominated scholarly thinking. In nine original essays by a multinational group of top scholars, Tropical Babylons re-evaluates this so-called "sugar revolution." The most comprehensive comparative study to date of early Atlantic sugar economies, this collection presents a revisionist examination of the origins of society and economy in the Atlantic world. Focusing on areas colonized by Spain and Portugal (before the emergence of the Caribbean sugar colonies of England, France, and Holland), these essays show that despite reliance on common knowledge and technology, there were considerable variations in the way sugar was produced. With studies of Iberia, Madeira and the Canary Islands, Hispaniola, Cuba, Brazil, and Barbados, this volume demonstrates the similarities and differences between the plantation colonies, questions the very idea of a sugar revolution, and shows how the specific conditions in each colony influenced the way sugar was produced and the impact of that crop on the formation of "tropical Babylons--multiracial societies of great oppression.

Download or read book Bioeconomy and Global Inequalities written by Maria Backhouse and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on the meanings, agendas, as well as the local and global implications of bioeconomy and bioenergy policies in and across South America, Asia and Europe. It explores how a transition away from a fossil and towards a bio-based economic order alters, reinforces and challenges socio-ecological inequalities. The volume presents a historically informed and empirically rich discussion of bioeconomy developments with a particular focus on bio-based energy. A series of conceptual discussions and case studies with a multidisciplinary background in the social sciences illuminate how the deployment of biomass sources from the agricultural and forestry sectors affect societal changes concerning knowledge production, land and labour relations, political participation and international trade. How can a global perspective on socio-ecological inequalities contribute to a complex and critical understanding of bioeconomy? Who participates in the negotiation of specific bioeconomy policies and who does not? Who determines the agenda? To what extent does the bioeconomy affect existing socio-ecological inequalities in rural areas? What are the implications of the bioeconomy for existing relations of extraction and inequalities across regions? The volume is an invitation to reflect upon these questions and more, at a time when the need for an ecological and socially just transition away from a carbon intensive economy is becoming increasingly pressing.
