This study builds upon the existing literature on the Working curve and backwardation to explore the impact of storage regimes on the volatility measures of substitute agricultural commodity markets. We investigate the impact of commodity fundamentals (storage regime and stocks-to-use ratio),...

This study shows the importance of soybean production in Brazilian economic development. Three blocks of data were studied: i) the soy production chain and added value; ii) regional production and human development indexes; and iii) international trade and food security. The study demystifies...

Implementation of the European legislation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) requires monitoring their presence in food and feed by analytical testing. The analytical tests are carried out by laboratories designated for official controls by the EU Member States. In line with Regulation...

Implementation of the European legislation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) requires the monitoring of the presence of GMOs in food or feed by analytical tests. The analytical tests are carried out by laboratories designated for official controls by the EU Member States. In line with...

During geopolitical crises, the price stability of agricultural commodities is critical for national security. Understanding the dynamics of pricing power between the U.S. and China and how it varies over time can help smaller nations navigate unpredictable moments. This study uses a unified...

The magnitude and sign of risk premiums provide relevant information on the structure of a given market. However, there is no consensus on commodity markets if there is a risk premium, and if so, if it is positive or negative. In addition, in recent years, there has been a discussion on the...

In this article, we examine performance persistence and the implied volatility smile of the commodity options contracts. We examine contracts of wheat, corn, live cattle, soybean oil, and lean hog. Hedge funds use options and futures in terms of commodities to hedge market risk. We compare the...

Soil salinization can affect the ecological environment of soil and alter greenhouse gas emissions. Chitooligosaccharides and AMF reduced the greenhouse gas fluxes of salinized soil, and this reduction was attributed to an alteration in the rhizosphere microecology, including changes in the...

Soybean is an important source of oil and vegetable protein and plays a key role in agricultural production and economy. A suitability evaluation of soybean cultivation is important for identifying potential soybean planting areas. Based on the raster data of soybean harvest ratio (FSHA) and...

Background: The soybean market is representative of the world. Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of this crop and has low production costs but high logistical costs, which are influenced mainly by transport costs. Added to these characteristics, the disputed grain supply, the...

In March 2018, the US used an immense trade deficit as an excuse to provoke trade friction with China. This study uses the EGARCH model and event study methods to study the impact of the major risk event of Sino-US trade friction on soybean futures markets in China and the United States. Results...
