| The federal government currently runs two major price support programs in agriculture, the marketing loan and countercyclical payment (CCP) programs. While these programs are both targeted at providing producer price protection, they have different political and financial costs associated with them. We outline these costs and project the effects of various loan rate changes on these programs for eight crops (barley, corn, cotton, oats, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and wheat) for 2005. Loan rate changes affect the price support programs by changing the payment rate producers receive when payments are triggered. We find that the crop's relative price strength versus its loan rate and the relationship between CCP base production and 2005 expected production have... |

| The effect pubic policy has on the relative prices of agricultural commodities is a controversial topic in developing countries, developed countries, and international agencies alike. The controversy arises as a result of a lack of understanding of the conflicting effects of relative price changes on various producer and consumer income classes and, when the effects are understood, as a result of emphasizing the value class over another. Unfortunately, there are a few case studies available on the workings of the many and varied approaches taken to agricultural price policy in the developing countries. IFPRI was delighted to take advantage of Roger Fox’s availability to make this study of the minimum price program of Brazil, as it applies to the... |

| Prior to the 1994 Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture, many developed countries supported production largely through support prices and government procurement. Since mid-1990s these countries have increasingly favored income support or direct payments over price support policies. In this study, we outline the farm policy changes in the European Union, EU, and the United States, US, since 1996 and compare their levels of support under various policies. The producer support estimates for the EU are more than twice that of the US, although the value of EU agricultural production is only 30% more than the US production value. In the EU, reductions in the intervention (support) prices for cereals, oilseeds and beef sector have been compensated by increased... |
