This book was released on 2011 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, coffee has been an important cash crop in the developing world and a major source of employment, foreign exchange and revenue. However, coffee producers have not always received a very large share of the export price of green coffee. Reasons that are often mentioned are heavy government intervention and high marketing and processing costs. Prior to reforms, government regulation of the domestic coffee markets in the form of fixed producer prices and the monopoly power of the Marketing Boards in Africa put a substantial wedge between the producer price and the world price of coffee by imposing an implicit tax on producers. From the early 1990s onwards, various Structural Adjustment Programmes were introduced in coffee exporting countries. This had direct consequences for the various forms of marketing boards which were prevalent in the coffee and other commodity sectors. In most cases, they were either dissolved or had their powers curtailed. One of the key objectives driving the reforms was to ensure that the farmer received a higher proportion of crop proceeds. Liberalisation was envisaged to have a positive effect on producer prices and price transmission signals from world markets to producers. This paper, an Error-Correction Model (ECM), analyses the impact of policy reform in Colombia, Ghana and Ivory Coast. A key question is whether producers of coffee beans received a higher share of the international price after reforms, as was the desired policy outcome. As findings indicate, the reforms induced stronger relationships among domestic and international prices in Colombia, but not in Ghana or the Ivory Coast. The institutional arrangements coordinating the domestic coffee system and contract enforcement may help explain the differences and should be explored further.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this paper is to examine the impact of commodity market reforms on producer price volatility using evidence from the East African coffee market. The results, based on time-varying volatility models and key summary statistics, show that coffee market reforms in the East African Community (EAC) are associated with changes in producer price volatility and volatility persistence at both country and regional levels. However, reforms were not the only cause of changes in price volatility. The study further shows that reforms had different effects on prices volatilities of Arabica and Robusta varieties of coffee grown in individual EAC countries. These findings have wider implication for commodity market reforms and producer price stabilisation policies in the EAC and coffee producing countries in sub-Sahara Africa.

This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three months, coffee prices have experienced multiple spikes and high volatility. This is in contrast to world market prices of major staple foods, which have remained relatively stable. While experts initially attributed the instability of coffee prices to supply-side uncertainty and market tightening, the covid-19 pandemic seems to have aggravated coffee’s price fluctuations. The novel coronavirus represents an unprecedented joint supply and demand shock to the global coffee sector, constituting an enormous challenge to coffee growers, farm workers, and downstream value chain actors. These various supply and demand impacts will be felt at different points in time further contributing to global market uncertainties and the ongoing price volatility. The pandemic may also have major implications for poverty and food insecurity for the world’s 25 million coffee producers, most of whom are smallholders in low- and middle income countries that are unprepared to respond to a public health crisis of this proportion.

Download or read book Coffee Price Volatility and Trade Policy Effects written by Shilinde John Siegfred Magalaya and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides empirical examination of conditionality, degree of persistence of international coffee price volatility and effects of policies in Tanzania. In modelling coffee price volatility, previous studies treated variation in price as unconditional and volatility addressed as constant overtime but recent studies indicated that price volatility exhibits auto-regressive conditional heteroskedastic behavior. Noting that, this study has attempted to model coffee price volatility using the GARCH (1,1) process. It was written out of the time-series data on the international coffee price paid to growers in Tanzania spanning from 1980 through 2008. The study establishes that coffee price had no regular pattern rather a random walk process, non-conditional and its persistence overtime displays memory decay. Changes in trade policies within Tanzania do not have any effect on the world coffee price. The likely explanation is that Tanzania is a price taker, cannot affect settings of international prices. The policy response to this include new marketing approach, ethical trading, Tanzania coffee can be marketed as a brand and revitalization of cooperatives.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most analysis of agricultural commodity market integration is solely based on price information. However, adding trade data can improve the understanding of interactions between interrelated markets. We link the analysis of price transmission processes between spot and futures markets with trade information to study the influence of Brazilian coffee exports on global price interdependencies. Using a Markov-switching vector error correction model (MSVECM) we allow for structural changes over time. Our results reveal two regimes. One regime is characterized by periods of sideways or downward trending coffee prices with low price volatility, and the other one by phases of price spikes and high price volatility. Price information is transmitted through both the spot and the futures prices and the speed of the price transmission process is significantly affected by the total daily volume and value of Brazilian coffee exports.

Download or read book The Coffee Paradox written by Benoit Daviron and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can developing countries trade their way out of poverty? International trade has grown dramatically in the last two decades in the global economy, and trade is an important source of revenue in developing countries. Yet, many low-income countries have been producing and exporting tropical commodities for a long time. They are still poor. This book is a major analytical contribution to understanding commodity production and trade, as well as putting forward policy-relevant suggestions for ‘solving’ the commodity problem. Through the study of the global value chain for coffee, the authors recast the ‘development problem’ for countries relying on commodity exports in entirely new ways. They do so by analysing the so-called coffee paradox – the coexistence of a ‘coffee boom’ in consuming countries and of a ‘coffee crisis’ in producing countries. New consumption patterns have emerged with the growing importance of specialty, fair trade and other ‘sustainable’ coffees. In consuming countries, coffee has become a fashionable drink and coffee bar chains have expanded rapidly. At the same time, international coffee prices have fallen dramatically and producers receive the lowest prices in decades. This book shows that the coffee paradox exists because what farmers sell and what consumers buy are becoming increasingly ‘different’ coffees. It is not material quality that contemporary coffee consumers pay for, but mostly symbolic quality and in-person services. As long as coffee farmers and their organizations do not control at least parts of this ‘immaterial’ production, they will keep receiving low prices. The Coffee Paradox seeks ways out from this situation by addressing some key questions: What kinds of quality attributes are combined in a coffee cup or coffee package? Who is producing these attributes? How can part of these attributes be produced by developing country farmers? To what extent are specialty and sustainable coffees achieving these objectives?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth, low inflation, and financial stability are among the most important goals of policy makers, and central banks such as the Federal Reserve are key institutions for achieving these goals. In Asset Prices and Monetary Policy, leading scholars and practitioners probe the interaction of central banks, asset markets, and the general economy to forge a new understanding of the challenges facing policy makers as they manage an increasingly complex economic system. The contributors examine how central bankers determine their policy prescriptions with reference to the fluctuating housing market, the balance of debt and credit, changing beliefs of investors, the level of commodity prices, and other factors. At a time when the public has never been more involved in stocks, retirement funds, and real estate investment, this insightful book will be useful to all those concerned with the current state of the economy.
