This study assesses the impact of increased fertilizer prices under different scenarios on rice production, consumption, trade and prices. Using a global rice model based on a partial equilibrium framework, the simulation results show that a 30% to 100% increase in fertilizer prices would reduce...

The price of rice at the retail level affects consumer welfare and influences inflation. The research objective was to study rice retail trader pricing behavior in traditional markets. This study employed an econometric model consisting of six equations of price spread between the retail market...

Dependence on imports increases the risk of global price volatility, particularly in the event of disruptions to international trade. Furthermore, global price fluctuations-often beyond the control of local governments-exacerbate domestic price volatility. The rice supply chain in East Java...

Rice is a staple crop in Nigeria. Even with a push to increase domestic production, little is known about the functionality of Nigeria's open bag markets and the preferences of consumers for specific rice attributes. Our study uses a hedonic price model to identify quality attribute preferences...

A significant question in agricultural economic research is understanding how economic shocks affect the different links of a productive chain, since the gains and losses induced by them might spread in a non-uniform way among the different actors. In the face of a scenario that advocates a...
