Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World grain and oilseed production set new records in 1985-86, while grain exports fell to the lowest level since 1978-79. That produced rapidly rising world carryover stocks: sharply increased costs of government farm programs in the European Community, United States and other countries: acontinued drift toward trade protectionism and trade policy conflicts; and one of the most dramatic changes in U.S. farm policies in half a century. Much of the increase in world carryover stocks in 1986 is being stored under government programs in the U.S., and the U.S. shares of world exports of many major farm commodities continued their downward trend in 1985-86. To halt the decline, U.S. price support levels for 1986 crops have been reduced sharply, while impact on farmincome is being tempered through the target price system. The U.S. export enhancement programs also are expected to be expanded substantially in the next few years. Changing U.S. farm policies along with growth in the economics of oil importing nations should encourage modest growth in the volume of U.S. agricultural exports in the next few years. The growth rate, however, will be tempered by debt problems of developing nations and depressed economic conditions in oil exporting countries. Lower U.S. price support levels and large world supplies appear likely to be a depressing influence on world grain prices as well as the value of U.S. agricultural exports in the late 1980s. Appropriate agricultural policies might focus on causes of slow growth in world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World grain and oilseed production in 1984-85 increased sharply with favorable weather in most major production areas except Canada, Africa, and USSR, Increased production also was due to a strong upward trend in crop yields in the European Community, India, and China that has shifted these areas from large importers of U.S. farm products to exporter positions and competitors of the U.S. Increased production in these areas reflects new crop varieties, increased use of fertilizer and other inputs, and changes in China's economic system to provide incentives for farm workers to increase productivity. With relatively steady world livestock production and demand for livestock feed ingredients, competition intensified in world grain and oilseed markets in 1984-85,and carryover stocks of these commodities are again increasing. in this environment, exports of U.S. farm products and U.S. shares of world trade have been restricted more than those of other exporters, partly bacause of a strong U.S. dollar that reduces the price-competitiveness of American farm products. Reduced exports are one of several factors contributing to serious financial stresses in the U.S. agricultural sector. The current trade environment is generating strong pressures ofr increased protectionism in trade policies, as trading partners attempt to maintain os expand their share of global exports white protecting domestic industries from import competition. More appropriate policies might focus on causes of slow growth in world trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World grain and oilseed production dropped moderately below utilization in 1987-88, leading to the sharpest decline in global grain carryover stocks on record. Adverse weather in several countries and aggressive U.S. land-idling programs accounted for much of the decline in stocks. However, grain stocks in mid-1988 still were moderately above minimum acceptable levels needed for worl food security. Changing U.S. policies, including lower price support levels and an aggressive Export Enhancement Program, along with a weaker U.S. dollar, generated substantially increased U.S. shares of world grain exports and moderately increased U.S. oilseed export shares. Continued U.S. and EC export subsidies and radically changed U.S. farm policies are important elements ofthe world food trade environment. Various groups of nations have developed their positions for GATT negotiations. GATT discussions will focus on ways of multilaterally reducing agricultural subsidies in major producing nations, as well as on ways of reducing barriers against agricultural imports. Other appropriate agricultural policies might deal with causes of slow growth in the world economy and agricultural trade, and enhancement of global food security.

Book excerpt: World grain production declined by 5 percent in 1983-84, with total production dropping to the lowest level in three years. Factors behind the reduced production includens the U.S. Payment-In-Kind Program, the most severe drought in the in the United States since the mid 1930s and adverse weather in Africa and parts of Europe. Global grain carryover stocks fell sharp by late summer 1984 to levels below minimum standards for world food security, with much of the decrease being in U.S. stocks. After a tow-year decline, world grain exports recovered only slightly in 1983-84 and remain moderately below the record 1980-81 level. Competition in international trade and a strong U.S. dollar have reduced United States shares of global exports in the last three years,with the largest decreases being in grains, oilseeds and oilseed products. While the Payment-In-Kind Program reduced U.S. crop plantings, certain other nations expanded their grain area-especially whet. This trend also appears to have contributed some to erosion of the U.S. share on international grain trade U.S. exports of all farm production in dollar value in 1982-83 dropped about one-fifth below the 1980-81 record. An accompanying increase in agricultural imports brought a moderate decline in the U.S. net trade balance in agricultural products. Declining exports have intensified financial pressures in agriculture and adversely affected incomes and employment in agricultural related industries and rural commuties.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Analysis of the past 2 decades of food production, consumption and trade provides the basis for determining the needs and potential of the next decade. World agriculture has changed dramatically ; up to 1972, costs were low and production high in producing countries. In the past year, world production declined, and soon after the developing countries increased grain imports, thus substantislly depleting reserves. World is now dependent on annual production. Prices are high due to increased energy costs, reduced supplies, production problems, political and economic considerations and the sporadic nature of the demand for imports. Other problems include planned economies in which incentives no longer exist to produce food; changing of developed countries to resume high production; inability of poorer countries to meet rising costs; basic imbalance in supply and demand; and trade difficulities. there are sufficient resources toincrease world food production, but solving the world food problem and alleviating widespread hunger and malnutrition are far more dependent on policy decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the potential for policy reform as a short-term, low-cost way to sustainably enhance global food security. It argues that reforming policies that distort food prices and trade will promote the openness needed to maximize global food availability and reduce fluctuations in international food prices. Beginning with an examination of historical trends in markets and policies, Anderson assesses the prospects for further reforms, and projects how they may develop over the next fifteen years. He pays particular attention to domestic policy changes made possible by the information technology revolution, which will complement global change to deal directly with farmer and consumer concerns.
