Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese agri-food industry is evolving into an imperfectly competitive market in our observation. The issue deserves more attention from the policymakers since any negligible departure from the perfectly competitive market in agriculture would generate enormous extra profits for firms and welfare loss for the society. This consequence is determined by the agricultural industry's natures of small price elasticity of demand and frequent consumption behaviors. Therefore, ignoring imperfect competition in the marketing sector may result in erroneous government implements and policy recommen...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth in the productivity of the global food and agricultural system will be largely determined by today's investments in research and development (R and D). In recent decades, the private sector has become a major player in developing innovations for food and agriculture. Factors spurring private companies to invest in food and agricultural research include the emergence of biotechnology and other new scientific developments, the strengthening of intellectual property rights (IPR) over agricultural innovations, new regulatory requirements, the expansion of markets for improved agricultural inputs and food products, and rising consumer demand for more diverse foods. This book evaluates investment trends by for-profit companies in food manufacturing, biofuel, and agricultural input R and D and explores how these trends are affected by changes in market demand and industry structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural trade has become an integral part of world agriculture. During the 1970s, the real growth in world agricultural trade was phenomenal. For example, the value of U. S. agricultural exports alone increased more than fivefold during this period. In April, 1978, a small group of West Coast agricultural economists (Hillman, Josling, Sarris, Schmitz, King, and McCalla) met to form what is now called the International Trade Consortium which is financed, in part, by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Agriculture Canada. One of the products of this project was a book published in 1979 by A. F. McCalla and T. E. Josling (editors), Imperfect Markets in Agricultural Trade, Allenheld, Osmun and Co., 1981. In the same vein, this book is a result of an International Trade Consortium meeting held in Berkeley, California, in the early 1980s.

Download or read book Agricultural Productivity and Producer Behavior written by Wolfram Schlenker and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural yields have increased steadily in the last half century, particularly since the Green Revolution. At the same time, inflation-adjusted agricultural commodity prices have been trending downward as increases in supply outpace the growth of demand. Recent severe weather events, biofuel mandates, and a switch toward a more meat-heavy diet in emerging economies have nevertheless boosted commodity prices. Whether this is a temporary jump or the beginning of a longer-term trend is an open question. Agricultural Productivity and Producer Behavior examines the factors contributing to the remarkably steady increase in global yields and assesses whether yield growth can continue. This research also considers whether agricultural productivity growth has been, and will be, associated with significant environmental externalities. Among the topics studied are genetically modified crops; changing climatic factors; farm production responses to government regulations including crop insurance, transport subsidies, and electricity subsidies for groundwater extraction; and the role of specific farm practices such as crop diversification, disease management, and water-saving methods. This research provides new evidence that technological as well as policy choices influence agricultural productivity.

This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Market Structure of the Food Industries: Marketing Research Report No. 971 Many structural changes have occurred in the farm products marketing system during the past two decades or more. In nearly every line of business, firms have declined in number and risen in size. Output of most industries has been increasingly concentrated among the largest firms. Retailing, whole saling, and food manufacturing have grown more integrated. Technological developments, improved transportation possibilities, and economies of size represent the major explanations for the changes. To the extent that alterations in market structure have increased efficiency or improved product variety and quality, agricultural producers and consumers, as well as marketing firms, have benefited. However, producers and consumers frequently express concern about other consequences of changes in market structure, particularly as to the extent and type of competition among firms. Producers are perhaps most concerned about increasing concentration and backward integration of marketing activities. As marketing activities are performed or controlled by a smaller number of firms, producers' bargaining power may be impaired. Moreover, large food retailing organizations and food processors are likely to possess more extensive and current information about market conditions than are producers. Consumers are concerned about the efficiency and performance of marketing industries because charges for processing and distribution services account for about two-thirds of the total retail cost of farm foods. Market structure is widely recognized as a relevant variable affecting conduct and performance of food industries, although precise correlation of structure and performance has not been possible. The study reported on here was undertaken to identify and measure some of the broad changes which have occurred in the structure of food marketing industries in the past two decades. Where possible, these changes have been related to changes in the behavior of firms and the overall performance of food industries. However, it was beyond the purpose of this study to analyze in great detail the performance of the marketing system.
