Book Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production

Download or read book Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production written by Zhang-Yue Zhou and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production gives readers valuable insight into the grain marketing and production systems of China and India. Researchers, scholars, and government officials involved in agricultural commodity economics and marketing will be particularly interested in this work, as few studies have focused on the agriculture of China and India, and even fewer on their grain industries. The grain issue is of crucial importance in China and India, since they are the two most populous countries in the world. In Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production, Author Zhang-Yue Zhou investigates and analyzes the effects of these countries'grain marketing systems on grain production over the past four decades using expert surveys, farm-level surveys, and qualitative analyis of national aggregate data. He sets the stage for future research in this important field as he gives you specific information about: the minimum price support scheme grain procurement methods grain production subsidies government reserve stocks market infrastructures grain movement between regions non-government marketing channels supply responsesThe study's three-step procedure lessens bias, and its cross-checked results further strengthen the validity of its findings. The information presented in Effects of Grain Marketing Systems on Grain Production helps professionals at research institutes, universities, and government agencies, especially those emphasising Indian, Chinese, or Asian food economics, understand agricultural economics in developing countries. The book is also useful as a supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate classes on Chinese and Indian economies and agricultural commodity economics in developing countries.

Download or read book Agricultural Reforms and Grain Production in China written by Shujie Yao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Drawing experiences of agricultural development in different periods after independence and employing two different quantitative techniques, it concludes that government's long term tendency to undermine the role of agriculture, lack of state investment and the inconsistency of market reforms are three major threats to sustained grain production and agricultural growth in China.

Book Agricultural Reform in China

Download or read book Agricultural Reform in China written by Yiping Huang and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese agriculture has experienced some radical changes over the past twenty years. Following the successful introduction of the household production system in the early 1980s, difficulties were encountered in establishing a unified domestic agricultural market in the later 1980s and 1990s. Through a comprehensive analysis of the changes in the Chinese agricultural institutions between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, this study attempts to provide some answers to the main questions presently facing the agricultural sector. It focuses on the key elements of the pre-reform agricultural institutions, reviews the ways these institutions were refashioned and assesses the resulting changes in agricultural development. The implications of different policy choices are carefully considered with the assistance of a computable general equilibrium model. The author argues that China should push forward with its market-oriented reform measures and introduce the rigours of international competition into the agricultural sector.

Book China s Domestic Grain Marketing Reform and Integration

Download or read book China s Domestic Grain Marketing Reform and Integration written by Chunlai Chen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's large and growing population places heavy requirements on domestic grain production. Grain shortages have been a frequent problem in China over the last 50 years. The Chinese government has struggled for many years to find a way of guaranteeing the supply of grain to its citizens, often relying on ineffective or counterproductive policy measures such as forced supply quotas or subsidies. Since the 1970s, the Chinese government has gradually, haltingly introduced policies that seek to introduce market forces and profit incentives to the production of grain. This book analyzes this process, examining advances in grain marketing reforms over the last three decades, the regional grain trade within China, and the level of integration in Chinese grain markets. China has not moved to a full market system. Many characteristics of a centrally planned economy remain, and government intervention is still common. China's future grain supply will depend on the capacity of the Chinese leader

Book The dragon and the elephant

Download or read book The dragon and the elephant written by Gulati, Ashok and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2007-11-14 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China and India are the most extraordinary economic success stories of the developing world. Both nations’ economies have grown dramatically over the past few decades, elevating them from two of the world’s poorest countries into projected economic superpowers. As a result, the numbers of Chinese and Indians living in poverty have rapidly fallen and per capita incomes in China and India have quadrupled and doubled, respectively. This book investigates the reasons for these staggering accomplishments and the lessons that can be applied both to other developing nations and to the problem of poverty that remains in these two countries. The contributors pay particular attention to agriculture and the rural economy, examining how initial conditions and investments and the prioritization and sequencing of different policies and strategies have led to successes, and how the agricultural and rural sectors connect to overall economic expansion. They also emphasize the importance of anti-poverty programs and safety nets in helping poor people escape poverty. The book offers a set of policy and strategic options for future growth and poverty reduction. These include setting the right priorities for public spending, identifying trade and market reforms, building social safety nets for the poorest of the poor, and building accountable institutions that can provide public goods and services effectively. The book concludes by examining future challenges to China and India’s economic development, such as the need to ensure growth that is sustainable, equitable, and environmentally friendly. The Dragon and the Elephant offers valuable insights to development specialists anxious to multiply the benefits experienced by two of the greatest economic successes in recent times.

Book Policy Reform and Farmers  Wheat Allocation in Rural China

Download or read book Policy Reform and Farmers Wheat Allocation in Rural China written by David E. Buschena and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market-oriented policy reforms often have important effects on farm-level grain production and utilisation decisions in developing countries. China's grain farmers are of particular interest because of China's importance in world grain markets and because of China's recent major agricultural policy advances and retrenchments. An empirical evaluation of market liberalisation among farmers located in two provinces in China on farm-level wheat consumption, market sales and on-farm storage during 1994 is presented. The results indicate that policymakers should account for such changes in farm household behaviour in designing and assessing the consequence of market liberalisation programs for agricultural sectors in developing countries.

Book China s Grain Economy

Download or read book China s Grain Economy written by Liming Wang and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The level and stability of China's grain supply and demand have important effects on both the Chinese national economy and the world grain market. There is increasing interest in whether and how the country can continue to feed itself into the next millennium. In turn this raises concerns about global food security. This work is an attempt to bring a detailed but accessible theoretical and empirical economic analysis to China's grain supply and demand. Following the construction of rigorous models which take account of the special features of the Chinese grain economy, especially the effects of government policies, it makes projections of grain supply, demand and trade to the years 2000, 2005 and 2010. Policy changes up to the mid 1990s are incorporated into the modelling work and projections.
