This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper begins with a survey of recent commodity price developments that highlights the magnitude of this price surge and identifies the rapid rise in wheat prices as a key element. The analysis in this paper focuses on the extent to which domestic markets are insulated from these changes and on the resulting impacts on world prices. An econometric analysis using Error Correction Models finds stable long-term relationships between world wheat prices and most domestic prices of wheat and wheat products, but with considerable variation across countries in the rate of price transmission. A case study of the price shocks during the Covid pandemic and the Ukraine food price crisis finds that price insulation roughly doubled the overall increase in world wheat prices and raised their volatility both during periods of price increase and price decline.

Download or read book Implications of the COVID 19 Pandemic and the Russia Ukraine Crisis on the Agricultural Sector written by Martinho, Vítor João Pereira Domingues and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agricultural sector has undergone significant changes in response to both the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine turmoil. These changes have significantly affected markets and distribution chains due to lockdowns and rising energy prices within the global food production economy. Some of these issues stemmed from a lack of available labor due to pandemic shutdowns, a lowered demand for certain commodities, and the Ukraine regional crisis has led to a 25% decrease in agricultural production and output. A thorough evaluation of the real impacts of these events is necessary to identify the main factors and provide concepts for future adjustments that may create a more resilient agriculture industry. Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine Crisis on the Agricultural Sector offers a novel and valuable contribution to the scientific community by examining the true effects of compounded crises on the global agricultural sector. The author, Vítor João Pereira Domingues Martinho, draws on over 20 years of experience in agriculture and economics, with expertise in areas such as agricultural policy, European Union food markets, and more. This book is an ideal resource for students, professors, researchers, farmers, and policymakers from national and international organizations. Its methodologies and insights provide crucial information for stakeholders seeking to understand the implications of these crises on the agricultural sector.
Download or read book Poverty impacts of food price increases in Kenya written by Minot, Nicholas and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenya is potentially very vulnerable to sharp increases in the prices of key staple grains such as maize and wheat, both because these are important in diets and because Kenya depends on im ports of these products. A first step in understanding the impacts of changes in the prices of these products is to examine developments in their prices on world markets. After a long period of rela tively stable prices on world markets, the prices of key food staples began to rise from around the beginning of 2020. This period of price increases, spanning the COVID-19 pandemic and then the price shocks following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine raised serious concerns about the welfare of poor people in countries such as Kenya. Figure 1 shows the movements in the prices of four key grain staples—maize, rice, sorghum and wheat—from the beginning of 2020.

This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This decade has been marked by multiple, often overlapping, crises. The COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and the ongoing war in Ukraine have all threatened the fabric of our global food systems. But opportunities can be found amid crises, and the world’s food systems have demonstrated surprising resilience. With new evidence on what works, now is the time to rethink how we address food crises. Better prediction, preparation, and resilience building can make future crises less common and less devastating, and improved responses can contribute to greater food security, better nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian Ukraine crisis poses an immense threat to the world's economy, which is already tangled in the shackles of the Covid-19 and the economic recovery seems to be happening slowly. The outbreak of Covid 19 was declared a pandemic and public health emergency. Rising inflation, unemployment and disrupted global supply chains were the already existing issues. At the same time, the Russian Ukraine Crisis has amplified all these economic challenges and the repercussions of this crisis are impacting the entire world. The current study draws attention to these issues by building a CGE framework. GTAP database was used and modified to simulate the twin challenges faced globally. The findings vindicate the loss of welfare, incomes, and consumption in all the regions and food sectors are mostly affected. Major sufferers include the MENA region's countries and some of the South Asian and Southeast Asian Economies. The policy implications suggested in the last can be a method of rescue and relief for the losses faced by the twin challenges in terms of food security.

Download or read book The SDGs and food system challenges Global trends and scenarios toward 2030 written by and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress toward reducing global hunger has stalled since the mid-2010s. In fact, hunger is on the rise again, driven by slowing economic growth and protracted conflict, intensified by the impacts of climate change and economic shocks in many low- and middle-income countries. In addition, food systems worldwide have suffered disruptions in recent years, caused by the COVID-19-related global recession and associated supply chain disruptions, and exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. These factors have also jeopardized efforts at addressing the challenges to food system sustainability. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related sustainable development goals (SDGs), defined in 2015, recognize these challenges and set ambitious targets to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition and to make agriculture and food systems sustainable by 2030. Many other fora have restated and reiterated these ambitions, including the 2021 United Nations Food System Summit (UNFSS). While governments around the world have subscribed to these ambitions, collectively they have not been very specific as to how to achieve the SDGs and related goals and targets, except for three means of implementation (MOI) involving (i) increases in research and development, (ii) reductions in trade distortions, and (iii) improved functioning and reduced volatility in food markets. This paper is part of a wider effort at assessing the international community’s follow-through on the above ambitions and the related (implicit or explicit) commitments made toward action for achieving them. While not presenting new research findings, we bring together available evidence and scenario analyses to assess the progress made toward the ambitions for transforming food systems, the actions taken in regard of the internationally concerted agenda, and the potential for accelerating progress. The number of hungry people in the world has risen from 564 million in 2015, when the SDGs were agreed, to 735 million in 2022. While declines to between 570 and 590 million by 2030 are projected, this is far above the 470 million projected in the absence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war. The share of the world’s people unable to afford healthy diets is projected to decline from 42 percent in 2021 to a still far too high 36 percent by 2030. On the means of implementation, levels of spending on agricultural research and development have increased, particularly in key developing countries such as Brazil, China and India. However, rates of investment remain too low for comfort, particularly in low-income countries. Also, little progress has been made in reducing agricultural trade distortions and many countries continue to use trade policy measures, such as export restrictions, which have proven to increase the volatility of both world and domestic food prices. We conclude that progress toward the SDG-2 targets has been dismal, and that the food system challenges have only become bigger. But we also find that it is not too late to accelerate progress and that the desired food system transformation can still be achieved over a reasonable timespan and at manageable incremental cost. Doing so will require unprecedented concerted and coherent action on multiple fronts, which may prove the biggest obstacle of all.
Download or read book Price Formation in World Wheat Markets Implications for Policy written by C.S.C. Sekhar and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is an attempt to understand the price formation mechanism in world wheat markets and trace its likely implications for agricultural trade liberalization in India. The main objective is to identify the determinants of price formation and more specifically to understand the influence of major exporters/producers on the stability of world wheat markets.The analysis, using a two-sector econometric model, indicates that output and stock-holding policies of major exporters like USA, Canada and Australia hold large implications for the stability of world wheat markets. In the domestic sector, simulation results show rigidity in supply-response to higher world prices, possibly due to constraints imposed by non-price factors. Exports are likely to increase and imports show a likely decline. Stagnant domestic production combined with increased exports, decreased imports and rising population is likely to result in a decline in per capita net availability of wheat in domestic market leading to an increase in domestic prices. This is confirmed by our simulation results, which show a growth rate of more than 8.5% per annum in nominal terms in case of domestic prices, after liberalization.
Download or read book Deconstructing Wheat Price Spikes written by United States Department of Agriculture and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, wheat futures prices spiked and then crashed along with prices for other agri-cultural and nonagricultural commodities. Market observers offered several theories to explain this common movement, or comovement, in prices, and have proposed policies to address the perceived problem of excessive price volatility. The design of an appropriate policy response would benefit from a better understanding of the cause of the observed price movements. This study uses an econometric model to decompose observed wheat prices into a set of economic factors and measure the relative contribution of each factor to observed price changes. Findings show that market-specific shocks related to supply and demand for wheat were the dominant cause of price spikes in the three U.S. wheat futures markets. Fluctuations in the global macroeconomy associated with broadbased demand shocks were relatively less significant for wheat than for other commodities like crude oil and corn. Finally, little evidence suggests commodity index trading contributed to recent price spikes.
