Establishing a clear link between prices of conventional and niche product versions can help address challenges associated with anticipating these prices and attenuate concerns related to thin market conditions. In that regard, we analyze the price dynamics, differentiating between agri-product...

We study the effect of warehouse receipt financing on terms of trade for farmers. With limited access to credit and storage facilities, farmers are compelled to sell their produce immediately after harvest at unfavourable prices. Warehouse receipt systems allow farmers to obtain loans with the...

Previous studies on commodity price bubbles mainly focused on futures markets and ignored the performance of spot markets. Using the price data for corn and soybeans in China, this study identifies the exact bubble dates for the futures and spot markets, and finds asynchronous price bubbles...

The COVID-19 epidemic has highlighted the vulnerability of international trade, forcing an increase in domestic supply reserves in Indonesia and other ASEAN countries. This transition underlines the need of sustainable practices in addressing the changing expectations of organizations and...

Agricultural inputs are experience goods: before purchasing them, buyers only observe their price, providing sellers an opportunity to cheat on quality. In a field experiment in rural Bangladesh, we replicate a market for experience goods, with agricultural input retailers (sellers) choosing...

World food markets are susceptible to systemic shocks due to a concentration of production in a few main breadbasket regions, strong import dependencies of many developing countries, and frequent unilateral and uncoordinated policy interventions such as export restrictions.The well-established...

Market participation is both a cause and a consequence of economic development. Markets offer households the opportunity to specialize according to comparative advantage and thereby enjoy welfare gains from trade. The current literature on product marketing in Ghana is inadequate for designing...

This study examines the effect of marketing channel choice on the extent of market participation, with the goal of helping farm managers and policymakers to identify ways of enhancing market participation outcomes. The study uses data from 383 smallholder maize farmers who were part of the...

The recent trend of development policy makes emphasis on gender disparity in performance, especially in the agricultural sector whereby women partake and play a crucial role and their contribution to the sector cannot be overemphasized. However, the contention is whether such disparity in...

Grape farming is a significant part of agricultural production in the central region of Dodoma and contributes tremendously to improving the livelihood of farmers. Smallholder farmers in Tanzania have been encouraged to use mobile phones for agricultural purposes. Regrettably, the involvement...

Based on three fundamental theories, commitment-trust theory of relationship marketing, transaction cost theory, and force field theory, this study has examined the factors affecting collaboration in the agricultural supply chain in the North Central region of Vietnam by analyzing EFA, CFA, and...

Sustainable use of land resources is at the core of the bioeconomy, and it is of central importance for development in the coming decades. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals reflect this aspect of development both directly and indirectly. Important global trends, such as a growing...

In this paper, we estimate the effect of temperature shocks on the price of nine vegetables with a high contribution to Mexico's non core inflation. We utilize monthly panel data of the price index of each vegetable at the city level which we combine with high resolution weather data of the...

The present article finds an interesting relationship between export demand, elasticity in supply but lower response towards the change in the equilibrium price variation, and a relatively low degree of collusion in the agricultural market. The study has been done in two sets of the market of...

In many Sub-Saharan countries, farmers cannot meet the growing urban demand for higher quality products. While the literature has focused on production-side constraints to enhancing smallholder farmers’ output quality, there is scarce evidence of market-side constraints. Using a sample of 60...

The aim of this study was to investigate the Granger causality between geopolitical risk (GPR) sub-indices in order to examine the implications of geopolitical risk on ten agricultural commodities classified as softs or grains. The Granger causality test was used to determine the causal...

We explore how a changing climate has impacted the valuation of corn and soybeans grown in the U.S. Midwest. Earlier literature has found that corn and soybean output is sensitive to weather in a nonlinear manner: yields benefit for moderate rain and temperatures, and generally suffer under...

Sustaining the global agriculture supply chain explores innovative solutions and best practices for advancing toward sustainable agriculture supply chains. It provides perspectives from professionals in various sectors and functional levels, from quality inputs to post-harvest management,...

Der internationale Agrarhandel ist ein Schlüsselfaktor für die globale Ernährungssicherheit. Er schafft ein vielfältigeres Nahrungsangebot (e.g. Krivonos und Kuhn 2019), sichert gegen lokale Produktionsausfälle ab (Glauben et al. 2022) und hilft, sich regionale Produktions- und...

国际农产品贸易对于维护全球粮食安全起着关键的作用。 一方面， 国际贸易使全球的消费者得以获取多样性的食物（Krivonos 和 Kuhn， 2019）， 另一方面， 贸易也可以通过食品分配机制， 充分利...

The paper develops a novel approach to account for serially dependent extreme price changes under the assumption that the tail distribution follows the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). Our approach can 1) detect serial dependence of extreme price changes, and 2) can be applied when...

This chapter aims to evaluate the country’s agricultural modernization strategy under the lens of the market-driven approach. The early post-War period of economic policy relates to solving the food problem solution for low-income countries, which minimizes farmer welfare and emphasizes...

Der internationale Agrarhandel ist ein Schlüsselfaktor für die globale Ernährungssicherheit. Er schafft ein vielfältigeres Nahrungsangebot (e.g. Krivonos und Kuhn 2019), sichert gegen lokale Produktionsausfälle ab (Glauben et al. 2022) und hilft, sich regionale Produktions- und...

International agricultural trade is key to improving global food security. It ensures access to more diversified foods (e.g. Krivonos and Kuhn 2019 ), acts as a safety net against local production shortfalls (Glauben et al. 2022) and helps make use of regional climatic or resource-related...
