| Although healthy foods can be affordable, if less healthy foods are cheaper, individuals may have an economic incentive to consume a less healthful diet. Using the Quarterly Food-at-Home Price Database, we explore whether a select set of healthy foods (whole grains, dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, whole fruit, skim and 1% milk, fruit juice, and bottled water) are more expensive than less healthy alternatives. We find that not all healthy foods are more expensive than less healthy alternatives; skim and 1% milk are less expensive than whole and 2% milk and bottled water is generally less expensive than carbonated nonalcoholic drinks. We also find considerable geographic variation in the relative price of healthy foods. This price variation may... |

| This paper analyses the asymmetric price transmission and non-linear adjustment at the farm and retail levels in the Iran’s mutton market. We applied a multivariate threshold error correction mechanism for monthly price data. We tested the non-linear adjustment using sup-LR, sup-LM and sup-Wald tests. The results confirm the presence of non-linear cointegration relationship between the retail and farm prices. In short-run, the price transmission behavior reveals that reactions of both the retail and farm prices to positive and negative deviations from the long-run price spread are asymmetric. More specially, the retailers show more strong responses to the both positive and negative shocks imposed to the farmers. |

| The purpose of this paper is to investigate the marketing performance of wheat farmers in Illinois and Kansas over 1982-2004. The results show that farmer benchmark prices for wheat in Illinois and Kansas fall in the middle-third of the price range about half to three-quarters of the time. Consistent with previous studies, this refutes the contention that Illinois and Kansas wheat farmers routinely market the bulk of their wheat crop in the bottom portion of the price range. Tests of the average difference between farmer and market benchmark prices are sensitive to the market benchmark considered. Marketing performance of wheat farmers in Illinois and Kansas is about equal to the market if 24- or 20-month market benchmarks are used, is slightly above the... |

| The efficiency of the Chinese wheat and soybean futures markets is studied. Formal statistical tests were conducted based on Johansen’s cointegration approach for three different cashmarkets and six different futures forecasting horizons ranging from1 week to 4 months.The results suggest a long-termequilibrium relationship between the futures price and cash price for soybeans and weak short-term efficiency in the soybean futures market. The futures market for wheat is inefficient, which may be caused by overspeculation and government intervention. |

| The recent transformation in milk production was characterized by the reduction of the prices received by the producer and by the increase of the production and productivity. Facing this reality, this work has the objective to identify whether the option for informal commercialization of the milk was one of the alternatives for the small producers receiving better prices. It was used a logit model to measure the impact of production volume and price received over the probability of producers to opt to sell in informal markets. The results were compatible to what was expected, once the price received per milk litre affects positivelly and the volume production has a negative effect the probability of producers to sell his production at informal markets.... |

| As events in the 2008/09 season have amply demonstrated, instability in staple food market remains a major problem in Zambia. A rise in world food price levels and instability, which is projected to occur in the near future according to several international institutes, will make it all more important for developing countries to consider the strengths and weaknesses of alternative approaches for buffering their domestic food systems from potential high volatility in world markets. These findings suggest that promoting more “rules based” approaches to... |

| This study analyzed the effects that the use of crop insurance products and marketing alternatives had on the gross revenue per acre for an individual farm in Cass County. Crop insurance products and marketing strategies were analyzed individually to determine if they were effective in minimizing down side risk, and combined to determine if integration created synergies. A whole farm scenario analysis was run that included integrated strategies that implemented the same insurance coverage and marketing alternatives for each crop. Several general conclusions can be drawn for situations similar to the representative farm. When analyzed at the individual crop level, the use of crop insurance at the 65 percent level minimizes down side risk in wheat and corn,... |

| In Malawi, maize is the major crop and food staple. Given limited off-farm employment opportunities, much-needed increases in household income for improving food security must come from gains in agricultural productivity through better technology and more profitable crops. In the past, agricultural policy promoted hybrid maize and, more recently, tobacco to increase smallholder income. This paper presents an analysis of what determines the adoption of these two crops and what kind of income effects follow from adoption. Apart from factor endowment and exposure to agroecological risks, differences in the household's access to financial and commodity markets significantly influence its cropping shares and farm income. |

| The objective of this study was to identify some facts that had influenced the fatcow arroba prices received by producers as well as carrying through estimates of these prices for a period of four months beginning in May 2007. It was used methodology idealized by Box-Jenkins (1976). The results demonstrated that the series in question (01/1996-05/2007) presents a structural breaking in the referring period the January of 2004, fact this that led to the cut of the same, being considered in the analysis the period February 2004 - May 2007, presenting 40 comments. Some events can have influenced the prices of the fatcow arroba in that moment and one that deserves prominence is the fact of that in period two infected areas of aphthous fever in the states of... |

| Este trabalho analisa o preço da terra no período 1975 a 2006, mas ocupa-se principalmente com o período mais recente, de 2000 a 2006. Para que o leitor tenha uma melhor dimensão dos preços de terras no Brasil, comparações serão realizadas com os preços de terras nos Estados Unidos em anos recentes. As principais fontes de informação são a Fundação Getúlio Vargas – FGV que fornece as informações sobre preço de venda de terras de lavouras, pastagens e preços de arrendamentos por estados, Regiões e Brasil e o Departamento de Agricultura dos Estados Unidos (USDA) que publica os preços de terras por regiões e estados. Complementarmente, são utilizadas outras fontes como a Secretaria da Agricultura e do Abastecimento do Paraná - Seab, através de seu... |

| O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar alguns fatos que influenciaram os preços da arroba do boi gordo recebido pelo produtor bem como realizar estimativas desses preços para um período de quatro meses a partir de maio de 2007. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia idealizada por Box-Jenkins (1976). Os resultados demonstraram que a série em questão (01/1996-05/2007) apresenta uma quebra estrutural no período referente a janeiro de 2004, fator esse que levou ao corte da mesma, sendo considerado na análise o intervalo de fevereiro de 2004 a maio de 2007, apresentando 40 observações. Alguns acontecimentos podem ter influenciados os preços da arroba do boi gordo naquele momento, e um que merece destaque é o fato de que nesse período foram detectados... |

| This paper provides a brief review of the Irish beef market during the 1990s. It sets out to identify the key factors influencing beef consumption during this period and reviews industry/ government response to consumer needs. A number of factors influencing beef consumption are identified, including: price, safety, eating quality and health. In addition to price competitiveness, industry/government response has focused on safety and quality systems. Safety emerged as an important factor during the 1990s and various traceability, quality assurance schemes and supply chain partnerships were established to reassure the consumer. By the end of the decade such systems are a pre-requisite to market entry and increasingly the focus is on using these systems to... |
