Book excerpt: Synopsis: The military general is the newly appointed prime minister of Thailand as of May 2014. The country is developing and needs support from its government in making it more efficient. The former prime minister was ousted, after less than three years in office, under the assumption that their government was spending itself into a hole and that the rice subsidy program was inept and hurting the country. The former prime minister was accused of launching the program in large part to win over the farming community and party votes for the August 2011 election. It is now the decision of the new prime minister whether he will continue on with the government purchase of rice, above market price, or should he break the promise made by the former government and stop the subsidy program from continuing. Learning Objectives: Explain why agricultural prices are unstable. Relate the rationale for farm subsidies and the economic, political, and cultural implications of price supports. Describe the criticisms of the price support system in agriculture. Explain the nature of economic rent and how it is determined. Subjects Covered: Agriculture: Economics and policy; Comparative advantage; Special interest effect; Parity concept; Economics of price supports; Politics and culture of farm policy; Short-run: price and farm income instability; Long-run: supply increases and consequences; graphical portrayals; water economics; development economics; and factor proportions theory.

Download or read book The Rice Crisis written by David Dawe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent escalation of world food prices – particularly for cereals - prompted mass public indignation and demonstrations in many countries, from the price of tortilla flour in Mexico to that of rice in the Philippines and pasta in Italy. The crisis has important implications for future government trade and food security policies, as countries re-evaluate their reliance on potentially more volatile world markets to augment domestic supplies of staple foods. This book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring world prices in the particular case of rice, which is the world's most important source of calories for the poor. Comparable case studies of policy reactions in different countries, principally across Asia, but also including the USA, provide the understanding necessary to evaluate the impact of trade policy on the food security of poor farmers and consumers. They also provide important insights into the concerns of developing countries that are relevant for future international trade negotiations in key agricultural commodities. As a result, more appropriate policies can be put in place to ensure more stable food supplies in the future. Published with the Food and Agriculture (FAO) Organization of the United Nations

Download or read book Income Versus Prices How Does The Business Cycle Affect Food In Security written by Mr. Christian Bogmans and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study how two aspects of food insecurity - caloric insufficiency and diet composition - are affected by aggregate economic fluctuations. The use of cross-country panel data allows us to adopt a global prospective on the identification of the macroeconomic determinants of food insecurity. Income shocks are the most relevant driver of food insecurity, displaying high elasticities at the early stages of economic development. The role of food price shocks is more limited. Social protection has a direct effect and mitigates the impact of income shocks. Effects are highly heterogeneous across a range of structural characteristics of the economy, highlighting the role of distributional aspects and of food import dependency.

Book excerpt: Food security means access by all people at all times to enough food for an active and healthy life. Available data suggest that more than 700 million people in the developing world lack the food necessary for such a life. No problem of underdevelopment may be more serious or have such important implications for the long-term growth of low-income countries. This report outlines the nature and extent of food security problems in developing countries, explores the policy options available to these countries in addressing these problems, and indicates what international institutions such as the World Bank can and should do to help countries solve their food security problems. It suggests ways to achieve the desired goal in cost-effective ways. It also identifies policies that waste economic resources and fail to reach the target groups. (BZ)
