The "European" agricultural model introduced during the first British settlement in 1788 proved unsuitable for the very different Australian environment, forcing farmers to adapt creatively. This study examines how climate shaped such adaptive behavior in wheat farming in Australia from the...

One of Ethiopia’s main challenges is increasing wheat production and productivity by designing and implementing an appropriate wheat policy. The country has a wheat supply and demand gap, forcing the country to spend a substantial amount of foreign currency for wheat imports, which are...

Adverse weather conditions can affect both crop yield quantity and yield quality. In wheat production, especially the risk of a downgrading due to low baking quality, as indicated by the Hagberg Falling Number, can cause large economic losses after precipitation events. We here estimate...

Türkiye has possessed significant agricultural opportunities throughout its history. Although the effective utilization of these opportunities is a subject of debate today, the country still plays a significant role in the global trade of some agricultural products. When discussions about...

The cost of food rose all over the world in 2022. The spike in the prices of bread was swift and shocking, partly because of its symbolic value in many countries and its importance as a staple, which turns its scarcity into a political issue. This phenomenon is particularly worrisome in...

The purpose of this study is to analyse the nexus between water, wheat and war in Egypt. Currently, the obstructed diffusion of the wheat market in Egypt prevents it from acquiring its fair share among other countries in terms of production versus its consumption. Water and Wheat...

One of Ethiopia's main challenges is increasing wheat production and productivity by designing and implementing an appropriate wheat policy. The country has a wheat supply and demand gap, forcing the country to spend a substantial amount of foreign currency for wheat imports, which are primarily...

Knowledge of water budgeting in soil-water-plant system is the key to irrigation management to achieve higher water use efficiency. Conservation agriculture (CA) through minimum soil disturbance modifies soil matrix and pore systems, bringing changes in soil hydraulic properties, which are...

The purpose of this study is to give background information and empirical evidence on the determinants in adoption of improved wheat technologies and its contribution to wheat yield in Janamora District. In the study area, there is lack of empirical study on the adoption and contribution...

Cross-cultural psychologists have mostly contrasted East Asia with the West. However, this study shows that there are psychological differences within China almost as large as differences between East and West. We propose that a history of farming rice makes cultures more interdependent, while...

During 1985-93 the U.S. Government provided $4.9 billion in subsidies to targeted foreign buyers of U.S. wheat under its Export Enhancement Program (EEP). The subsidies averaged $31 per metric ton, or about 25 percent of the U.S. price. The EEP generates a small gain to U.S. farmers, compared to...

The effect of water-heat treatment and time of electromagnetic irradiation on the yield and quality of flattened wholegrain cereal from emmer wheat is investigated. A comparative analysis of cereal yield and cooking time at different moisture contents and time of electromagnetic irradiation of...

This paper uses regression analysis to study the causes and impacts of the Export Enhancement Program for wheat. We find that the overwhelming causes of the EEP, faltering export markets and swelling government stocks are primarily attributable to the overvaluation of the dollar in the 1980s,...

The Ethiopian economy is based on agricultural activity, which is mainly subsistent and encountered different socio-economic challenges. Stemming from this logical ground, this study conducted to determine the factors of wheat production of farm households. Damot Waja, Dalbo Wogene and Dalbo...

The purpose of this study is to give background information and empirical evidence on the determinants inadoption of improved wheat technologies and its contribution to wheat yield in Janamora District. In the studyarea, there is lack of empirical study on the adoption and contribution improved...

Romania's significant agricultural productive potential can fully cover domestic demand and can ensure important export deliveries. However, the yield of cereal production is below the European Union average. Of these, an important place is occupied by wheat production. Taking into account these...

Agricultural prices volatility plays important role in the variety of economic processes. It directly impacts stability of farmers’ income and has impact on economic efficiency of agricultural production. In this paper volatility of prices on Polish, European Union and global wheat market is...

Wheat is an important staple food grain in India ensuring food and nutrition security accounting for 21 per cent of calorie and 20 per cent of protein intake. The nutri-rich cereal is under cultivation in around 30 million hectares with an annual production over 100 million tonnes in the recent...

The close relationship between commodity future and cash prices is critical for the effectiveness of risk management and the functioning of price discovery. However, in recent years, commodity futures prices, across the board, have appeared increasingly detached from prices on physical markets....

We estimate the impact of the 2012 removal of the Canadian Wheat Board's (CWB) single-desk on the spatial pattern of durum wheat acres in Western Canada. We analyze changes in durum seeded acres with a panel regression and Census Agricultural Region data from 2004–2016. Our results indicate...

Roughly 4 billion people live in cultures with a legacy of rice farm. Recent studies find that rice cultures are more interdependent than herding cultures and wheat-farming cultures. In China, people from rice-farming areas think more holistically and show less implicit individualism than people...

According to the many years of research results in a stationary field experiment on southern chernozems, it has been shown that the systematic use of fertilizers for black and green fallow provides the production of winter wheat grains with protein and gluten that meets the requirements of the...

"Egyptians often say that bread is life; most eat this staple multiple times a day, many relying on the cheap bread subsidized by the government. In Staple Security, Jessica Barnes explores the process of sourcing domestic and foreign wheat for the production of bread and its consumption across...

Production data registered at winter wheat Ariesan cultivar in 2007-2017 period, indicates suitability for cultivation in system with no ploughing, the difference in production between the two systems classic and conservative is just 81 kg/ha thus, in the classic system the average yield was...

Wheat occupies an important place in the food security strategy as it is characterized by its long-lasting consistency and by its suitability for a wide range of bakery products. The role of wheat in the food security strategy is also determined by low maintenance costs compared to other foods,...
