El proceso de consolidación de las agencias de desarrollo rural como instrumento para operar el Proyecto Estratégico para la Seguridad Alimentaria. El caso de Guerrero 2007 y 2008.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Contreras Domínguez, Josafat.
En México, la prestación de servicios asistenciales al medio rural ha presentado diversas modalidades. Uno de ellos es la creación de la Agencia de Desarrollo Rural (ADR), como un  foro para hacer llegar los servicios profesionales a las familias  rurales. Tal propósito es insertar en el territorio  un equipo de profesionistas que identifiquen la problemática en ejercicios participativos y elaboren propuestas de planes pertinentes para promover mejoras en las condiciones de vida que padece la población en situación de pobreza. En el estado de Guerrero se puso en operación el Proyecto Estratégico para la Seguridad Alimentaria – Guerrero Sin Hambre (PESA-GSH) incorporando las ADRs como  agente promotor. Este   modelo  se basa en  el  Enfoque de Desarrollo...

Dynamics of sand and mud mixtures: a multiprocess-based modelling strategy
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Le Hir, Pierre; Cayocca, Florence; Waeles, Benoit.
Mixed sediments are constituted of cohesive and non-cohesive materials with distinct behaviours that numerical models traditionally manage separately. This paper first introduces a rapid state of the Art in sediment transport modelling in order to point out the specific requirements for process-based models applied to mixed sediments.  Based on a preliminary study by Waeles et al. (2007), which showed the validity of the advection approach to compute fine sand transport, a complete modelling strategy is described: it is applied to the suspended transport of sand and mud mixtures, and accounts for consolidation of mixed sediments. Special care is paid to the realistic representation of the structure and density of sand and mud mixtures, and to the...

Comparison of the physical and geotechnical properties of gas-hydrate-bearing sediments from offshore India and other gas-hydrate-reservoir systems
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Winters, W. J.; Wilcox-cline, R. W.; Long, P.; Dewri, S. K.; Kumar, P.; Stern, L.; Kerr, L.
The sediment characteristics of hydrate-bearing reservoirs profoundly affect the formation, distribution, and morphology of gas hydrate. The presence and type of gas, porewater chemistry, fluid migration, and subbottom temperature may govern the hydrate formation process, but it is the host sediment that commonly dictates final hydrate habit, and whether hydrate may be economically developed. In this paper, the physical properties of hydrate-bearing regions offshore eastern India (Krishna-Godavari and Mahanadi Basins) and the Andaman Islands, determined from Expedition NGHP-01 cores, are compared to each other, well logs, and published results of other hydrate reservoirs. Properties from the hydrate-free Kerala-Konkan basin off the west coast of India are...

Analysis of mixed-sediment consolidation experiments
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Grasso, Florent; Le Hir, Pierre; Bassoullet, Philippe.
Estuarine sediment transport models require that a time variation of erodibility due to consolidation be taken into account. If numerical modelling of mud sedimentation and consolidation is currently satisfactory, simulation of mud-sand mixture consolidation is more problematical. This is partly due to mixed-sediment processes, as hindered settling and segregation, not well understood yet. Hence, based on extensive settling columns experiments, the aim of this study is to improve our understanding of mud-sand mixture consolidation for varying concentrations (54 to 600 kg/m3) and large sand contents (15 to 80%). Firstly, we observed that for a given initial mass concentration and sand content the final consolidation appeared independent from the initial...

Numerical modelling of mixed-sediment consolidation
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Grasso, Florent; Le Hir, Pierre; Bassoullet, Philippe.
Sediment transport modelling in estuarine environments, characterised by cohesive and non-cohesive sediment mixtures, has to consider a time variation of erodibility due to consolidation. Generally, validated by settling column experiments, mud consolidation is now fairly well simulated; however, numerical models still have difficulty to simulate accurately the sedimentation and consolidation of mixed sediments for a wide range of initial conditions. This is partly due to the difficulty to formulate the contribution of sand in the hindered settling regime when segregation does not clearly occur. Based on extensive settling experiments with mud-sand mixtures, the objective of this study was to improve the numerical modelling of mixed-sediment consolidation...

Food Industry Mergers and Acquisitions Lead to Higher Labor Productivity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Nguyen,   Sang V.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Chambers,   William; Nelson,   Kenneth B.
Processing plants in eight major food industries were highly productive before being acquired and they significantly improved their labor productivity afterward, Economic Research Service and U.S. Census Bureau researchers found in their analysis of Census data. The plant-level data on production inputs and costs provided a detailed picture of food-production facilities involved in mergers and acquisitions. The industries are meatpacking, meat processing, poultry slaughtering and processing, cheese making, fluid milk processing, flour milling, feed processing, and oilseed crushing. The analysis suggests that mergers and acquisitions contributed to the general improvement in labor productivity, echoing an earlier ERS study. Labor productivity is defined as...

Structural Change in the Meat, Poultry, Dairy and Grain Processing Industries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Nguyen,   Sang V.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Chambers,   William; Nelson,   Kenneth B.
Consolidation and structural changes in the food industry have had profound impacts on firms, employees, and communities in many parts of the United States. Over 1972-92, eight important food industries underwent a structural transformation in which the number of plants declined by about one-third and the number of employees needed to staff the remaining plants dropped by more than 100,000 (20 percent). The number of plants in one other industry also dropped, but that industry added jobs. Economists generally attribute structural changes such as these to rising or falling demand and shifts in technology. This report examines consolidation and structural change in meatpacking, meat processing, poultry slaughter and processing, cheese products, fluid milk,...

Commodity Payments, Farm Business Survival, and Farm Size Growth
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Key,   Nigel D.; Roberts,   Michael J.
In the last 25 years, U.S. crop farms have steadily declined in number and grown in average size, as production has shifted to larger operations. Larger farms tend to receive more commodity program payments because most payments are tied to a farm’s current or historical production, but whether payments have contributed to farm growth is uncertain. This study uses farm-level data from the census of agriculture to determine whether there is a statistical relationship between farm commodity program payments and greater concentration in production. The analysis indicates that, at the regional level, higher commodity program payments per acre are associated with subsequent farm growth. Also, higher payments per acre are associated with higher rates of farm...

UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS OF PRODUCE MARKETS: CONSUMPTION AND CONSOLIDATION GROW
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kaufman,   Phillip R.; Handy,   Charles R.; McLaughlin,   Edward W.; Park,   Kristen; Green,   Geoffrey M.
Mergers, acquisitions, and internal growth among grocery retailers, largely since 1996, have increased the share of grocery store sales accounted for by the largest 4, 8, and 20 food retailers nationwide. Similar consolidation is occurring among food wholesalers. At the same time, new packaged and branded produce items are gaining acceptance with consumers and vying for shelf space in the supermarket produce department. Growers, shippers, and their trade associations fear the possibility of fewer buyers for their products, particularly if new marketing and trade practices such as volume incentive rebates and slotting fees become widespread. This report uses data from the Censuses of Wholesale Trade and Retail Trade and industry sources to examine changes...

CONCENTRATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURAL INPUT INDUSTRIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: King,   John L.
Consolidation in the agricultural biotechnology industry can both enhance and dampen market competition. This report examines the causes and consequences of industry consolidation and its effect on market efficiency. In some cases, concentration realizes economies of scale, which can improve market efficiency by driving down production costs. The protection of intellectual property rights is integral to the agricultural biotechnology marketplace, stimulating research and development, investment, and the development of substitute markets. However, excessively broad intellectual property rights can hinder the market for innovation. Recent data on mergers, acquisitions, and strategic collaborations in the agricultural biotechnology industry, as well as the...

CONSOLIDATION IN U.S. MEATPACKING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: MacDonald,   James M.; Ollinger,   Michael; Nelson,   Kenneth E.; Handy,   Charles R.
Meatpacking consolidated rapidly in the last two decades: slaughter plants became much larger, and concentration increased as smaller firms left the industry. We use establishment-based data from the U.S. Census Bureau to describe consolidation and to identify the roles of scale economies and technological change in driving consolidation. Through the 1970's, larger plants paid higher wages, generating a pecuniary scale diseconomy that largely offset the cost advantages that technological scale economies offered large plants. The larger plants' wage premium disappeared in the 1980's, and technological change created larger and more extensive technological scale economies. As a result, large plants realized growing cost advantages over smaller plants, and...

INDEPENDENT COMMERCIAL BANK MERGERS AND AGRICULTURAL LENDING CONCENTRATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ahrendsen,   Bruce L.; Dixon,   Bruce L.; Lee,   Laderrek T.
In an era of rapid consolidation in banking, the effect of mergers on the availability of credit to agricultural businesses is unclear.  Commercial bank mergers have profoundly altered the urban credit marketplace and are positioned to do the same for the agricultural credit marketplace.  Adjustment models are estimated with data on independent bank consolidations from 1988 through 1995.  The regression results bode well for agricultural lending if acquiring banks have larger concentrations of assets in agriculture than acquired banks.  Conversely, if acquiring banks have smaller concentrations than acquired banks, acquisitions have a negative impact on agricultural lending.  Since most acquiring banks have smaller agricultural loan concentrations than...

Impact of land readjustment project on farmland use and structural adjustment: The case of Niigata, Japan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Arimoto,   Yutaka.
This paper examines the impact of farmland readjustment projects on farmland use and structural adjustment in Niigata, Japan. We use census data of rural communities for 1990 and 2000 to conduct pooled regression, first-difference, difference-in-differences, and propensity score matching estimations. We find positive impact of farmland readjustment projects in alleviating farmland abandonment and in facilitating outsourcing of agricultural works and farmland rental. The results suggest that farmland consolidation may be an effective option to resolve farmland fragmentation and to promote structural adjustment in concentrating farmland to efficient farmers which is a premise for strengthening the agricultural sector under economies of scale.

Consolidation as a Regulatory Compliance Strategy: Small Drinking Water Systems and the Safe Drinking Water Act
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lee,   Min-Yang A.; Braden,   John B.
Despite extensive research and policy initiatives to increase the technical, financial, and managerial capacity of small drinking water systems, there has been little research focusing on understanding how consolidation can increase the overall capacity of the drinking water industry.  Consolidation of water systems may be a mechanism that increases regulatory compliance by removing poorly performing systems from the industry and replacing inefficient management and/or capital. The US drinking water system is highly fragmented, with over 50,000 Community Water Systems (CWSs), of which the vast majority are classified as "small" by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A discrete choice model is employed to determine the characteristics shared by...

The grain/oilseed industry is undergoing considerable structural change through mergers and new value-added businesses, which raises price-related questions. We analyze the level of price integration prior to and following a merger between two grain firms and the start-up of a producer-owned ethanol facility. This research utilizes error correction vector autoregression analysis to compute market integration structural change effects. We find evidence that market integration initially increases with the merger, but deteriorates with time following the merger. We find no significant localized change in the level of price integration for the case of a new value-added business.

Economic theory alone cannot predict the impacts of government payments on farm structure.  We estimate a 5-equation model for the 1978-96 period to measure the impacts using state micro and macro data sets.  We found that government payments were positively associated with farm size and farm exits, but negatively associated with the extent of consolidation in farm production and the off-farm work of operators.

The grain/oilseed industry is undergoing considerable structural change in the form of mergers and the addition of new processing facilities to add value beyond commodity grade.  The rapid structural changes in this industry call into question the relevance of previous research conducted in these areas.  Focusing on two structural change events in northeast Missouri as case studies provides an incisive glimpse at the larger impact of structural change on the grain/oilseed industry.  This study addresses the merger of Archer Daniels Midland and Quincy Grain, and the opening of a producer-owned ethanol plant in northeast Missouri to determine if these structural change events altered pricing patterns and linkages in Missouri grain/oilseed markets, and assess...
