Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the financial and food price crises of 2007, market instability has been a topic of major concern to agricultural economists and policy professionals. This volume provides an overview of the key issues surrounding food prices volatility, focusing primarily on drivers, long-term implications of volatility and its impacts on food chains and consumers. The book explores which factors and drivers are volatility-increasing and which others are price level-increasing, and whether these two distinctive effects can be identified and measured. It considers the extent to which increasing instability affects agents in the value chain, as well as the actual impacts on the most vulnerable households in the EU and in selected developing countries. It also analyses which policies are more effective to avert and mitigate the effects of instability. Developed from the work of the European-based ULYSSES project, the book synthesises the most recent literature on the topic and presents the views of practitioners, businesses, NGOs and farmers' organizations. It draws policy responses and recommendations for policy makers at both European and on international levels.

Download or read book Expectations Reservation Demand and the Stability of Agricultural Markets written by Stephen Carroll Beare and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distribution of agricultural production for continuous consumption requires the capacity to maintain inventories which are large relative to the rate of utilization. As a result, the demand for inventories is a critical element in the pricing of agricultural commodities. A component of inventory demand, referred to here as reservation demand, is sensitive to expectations for future prices and may be a significant source of price instability in agricultural markets. Price expectations are, in part, dependent on current price information. This creates a potentially complex and volatile pricing structure. A cusp catastrophe with slow feedback is used to model the interrelationship between the formation of expectations and price determination. A catastrophe model allows the use of relatively unrestrictive assumptions concerning the formation of expectations and provides a picture of how unstable price behavior can exist within a structurally stable pricing system. Some of the concepts underlying catastrophe theory are presented in the familiar context of a competitive market. This is followed by a demonstration of how speculative changes in the demand for inventory may disrupt the pricing structure of a competitive market. A cusp catastrophe model of a competitive market for a stored commodity is developed. Simulation experiments are conducted to demonstrate how alternative forms of price behavior can be represented within the model. Prices generated by the model are compared to actual patterns of price adjustment observed for wheat. An empirical investigation of the pricing structure of the wheat market is then conducted. It is concluded that the relationship between price expectations and the demand for inventory is, at times, a source of price instability for stored commodities. Speculative or transitory changes in the demand for inventory tend to exacerbate existing variability in agricultural prices. This appears to be an important consideration in analysing production and marketing alternatives and in evaluating public policy. A cusp catastrophe with slow feedback provides a good conceptual framework for taking the interdependence of expectations and prices into account.

This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On top of a decade of exacerbated disaster loss, exceptional global heat, retreating ice and rising sea levels, humanity and our food security face a range of new and unprecedented hazards, such as megafires, extreme weather events, desert locust swarms of magnitudes previously unseen, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Agriculture underpins the livelihoods of over 2.5 billion people – most of them in low-income developing countries – and remains a key driver of development. At no other point in history has agriculture been faced with such an array of familiar and unfamiliar risks, interacting in a hyperconnected world and a precipitously changing landscape. And agriculture continues to absorb a disproportionate share of the damage and loss wrought by disasters. Their growing frequency and intensity, along with the systemic nature of risk, are upending people’s lives, devastating livelihoods, and jeopardizing our entire food system. This report makes a powerful case for investing in resilience and disaster risk reduction – especially data gathering and analysis for evidence informed action – to ensure agriculture’s crucial role in achieving the future we want.
Download or read book Contract Farming for Inclusive Market Access written by Carlos A. Da Silva and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2013 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to typify the extent to which contract farming is helping small farmers to access markets and meet increasingly stringent requirements, not only of "modern" food manufacturers, retailers, exporters and food service firms,by also in non-food sectors such as biofuels and forestry. It also seeks to clarify differences in the functionality of contracts depending on commodity, market, technology, public policies and country circumstances. Conceptual issues are discussed and a series of case study appraisals based on real world examples from developing regions are presented. The issuesraised by the case study authors and the key messages synthesized in the initial book chapter bring new insights and contributions to further enrich knowledge on contract farming as a tool for inclusive market access in development countries.
