| Based on research presented in “Institutional Alternatives in African Smallholder Irrigation: :Lessons from International Experience with Irrigation Management Transfer (IWMI Research Report 60)” by Tushaar Shah, Barbara van Koppen, Marna de Lange, Madar Samad, and Douglas Merrey. An international review of IMT experiences shows that for transfer to work, the irrigation system must be central to a wealth-creating agriculture within which IMT makes good economic sense to farmers. This is not the case in a majority of Africa’s smallholder schemes.

| Sluggish growth in per capita consumption and a downward pressure on beef price at the farm level has required producers to raise cattle that precisely target the meat attributes desired by consumers. Ultrasound technology can help farmers to produce a carcass with an optimal mix of marbling and muscling, and external fat. The results of this study show a high level of accuracy of ultrasound technology in predicting carcass attributes. An estimated hedonic regression model shows that the carcass attributes are reflected on the implicit beef price. Ultrasound technology helps producers to produce carcass with the desired attributes, thus obtain a higher price. |

In recent years, confectionery markets have been growing around the world. Hershey Foods Corporation, the North American confectionery leader, however, has been experiencing some setbacks in international expansion. This study uses the global strategy framework (Yip, 1992) to analyze the strategic position and resources of Hershey Foods Corporation, and to diagnose confectionery industry globalization potential. The focus of the study is the formulation of global product strategies for Hershey's future expansion into strategically important markets. Benefits and costs of a global product strategy and the... |
