#Agrarian reform#Agricultural production cooperatives#Cooperativas de produção agropecuária#Cooperative#Cooperativismo#Modelo socialista de agricultura#Movement of the landless#Movimento dos sem-terras#Reforma agrária#The socialist model of agriculture
A presente pesquisa de mestrado teve o objetivo de analisar o modelo socialista de agricultura coletiva proposto pelo Movimento dos Sem-Terras (MST) por meio das cooperativas de produção agropecuárias (CPAs) e suas contradições. A idéia era compreender em que medida a coletivização do trabalho agrícola fortalece a luta pela resistência na terra. Com essa finalidade a pesquisa foi proposta aos cooperados da Copava (Cooperativa de Produção Agropecuária Vó Aparecida), fundada em 20 de novembro de 1993, na agrovila III do assentamento Pirituba, situada no município de Itaberá, sudoeste do Estado de São Paulo. Nas CPAs a terra, o trabalho e a renda são administrados coletivamente pelos próprios cooperados. Apesar de a CPA ser um empreendimento de tipo empresarial, é radicalmente diferente de uma empresa capitalista, pois não há extração de mais-valia. A divisão da renda é feita conforme o número de horas trabalhadas de cada um após serem pagas ou amortizadas as dívidas com a produção e gastos em investimentos para ampliação da estrutura da cooperativa. A Copava foi fundada por 27 famílias, totalizando 46 sócios, e ocupando uma área de 189 alqueires de terra. A corrente teórico-metodológica marxista-leninista é a que fundamenta esse modelo de CPA...

#Capitalismo - Amazonia#Desenvolvimento econômico#Agricultura familiar#Recursos naturais#Capitalist development#Agricultural production#Natural resources#Amazon
O atrelamento do Brasil aos países desenvolvidos fez com que suas atividades econômicas fossem mais influenciadas por demandas externas do que pelas necessidades internas. Tal fato contribuiu para participações regionais desiguais. Nesse contexto a Amazônia é integrada à economia nacional de modo que o capital se aproveita das assimetrias das trocas não leais e desiguais para se expandir no território. Esse fenômeno se fez alterando as relações sociais e os meios de produção, estabelecendo mecanismos de geração de lucros facilitados na utilização dos recursos naturais. A exploração dos recursos passam ser mais intensa, degradando o meio ambiente e agravando os problemas sociais. A imposição do capital nas relações estabelecidas apesar de transformar a produção agropecuária familiar, não a eliminou, e essa apresenta distintas formas de produção e diferentes relações sociais. Partindo dessa premissa, buscou-se estudar a integração da Amazônia à economia nacional como resultado da expansão do desenvolvimento capitalista brasileiro, compreendendo como ocorre a interferência do capital no espaço agrário amazônico, principalmente na unidade de diversidade que constitui a produção agropecuária familiar no Sudoeste Paraense. O estudo foi realizado em três municípios que apresentavam diferentes formas de ocupação: Pacajá...

The studies of performance and production efficiency have ignored additional products
of most transformation processes classified as undesirable outputs. Without the
inclusion of the undesirable outputs, the efficiency measurement is a purely technical
measure, and it does not account for the interaction of the system with the environment
and the impact of policy decisions on the system. Moreover, there are technological
dependencies between the desirable and the undesirable outputs which have to be
included in the analytical tools used to measure efficiency.
The relationships between the desirable and the undesirable outputs motivate the
exploration of new areas of the measurement of efficiency to incorporate policy
decisions and address new issues. This research develops a formulation that uses goal
programming in conjunction with Data Envelopment analysis – known as GoDEA
approach – to deal with the conflict between the desirable and the undesirable outputs.
This approach is used to assess the environment impact of the Agenda 2000 and the
2003 Common Agricultural Policy reform on agricultural production in fifteen
European countries.
Model results show that the 2003 CAP reform strengthens environmental policies and
has a better performance than the Agenda 2000 for some European countries. The North
and Central European countries have been dealing better with environmental issues than
the Mediterranean countries.

#macroeconomic variables#agricultural production#Mozambique#variáveis macroeconómicas#produção agrícola#Moçambique
Mestrado em Economia; The agricultural sector plays a vital role in the development of Mozambique’s economy, so it is important to understand the relation between the macroeconomic environment and this sector.
This master thesis examines the relationship between macroeconomic variables and agricultural production in Mozambique, adopting the classical regression model and using bootstrap, with the endogenous variable being total production, regressed in several covariates. The time horizon is from 1980 to 2012. A robust test is undertaken, estimated by a Bayesian model.
The empirical results revealed that macroeconomic variables have a significant impact on agricultural production. The variables that had the most impact on agricultural production were area harvested, labor force, interest rate, GDP and exchange rate. Policy implications are derived.; O setor agrícola desempenha um papel muito importante no desenvolvimento da economia moçambicana, sendo assim é importante perceber a relação entre o ambiente macroeconómico e o setor em causa.
Esta tese de mestrado examina a relação entre variáveis macroeconómicas e a produção agrícola em Moçambique, adotando um modelo de regressão clássica e usando bootstrap, tendo como variável endógena a produção total...

Although good and timely information on
agricultural production is critical for policy-decisions,
the quality of underlying data is often low and improving
data quality could have a high payoff. This paper uses data
from a production diary, administered concurrently with a
standard household survey in Uganda to analyze the nature
and incidence of responses, the magnitude of differences in
reported outcomes, and factors that systematically affect
these. Despite limited central supervision, diaries elicited
a strong response, complemented standard surveys in a number
of respects, and were less affected by problems of
respondent fatigue than expected. The diary-based estimates
of output value consistently exceeded that from the
recall-based production survey, in line with reported
disposition. Implications for policy and practical
administration of surveys are drawn out.

This study examines the relationship
between transport infrastructure and agriculture in
Sub-Saharan Africa using new data obtained from geographic
information systems (GIS). First, the authors analyze the
impact of road connectivity on crop production and choice of
technology. Second, they explore the impact of investments
that reduce road travel times. Finally, they show how this
type of analysis can be used to compare cost-benefit ratios
for alternative road investments in terms of agricultural
output per dollar invested. The authors find that
agricultural production is highly correlated with proximity
(as measured by travel time) to urban markets. Likewise,
adoption of high-productive/high-input technology is
negatively correlated with travel time to urban centers.
There is therefore substantial scope for increasing
agricultural production in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly
in more remote areas. Total crop production relative to
potential production is 45 percent for areas within four
hours travel time from a city of 100...

#ACCOUNTING#AGGREGATE PRODUCTION FUNCTION#AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT#AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS#AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT#AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION#AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY#AGRICULTURE#AVERAGE ANNUAL GROWTH#AVERAGE PRODUCTIVITY#CAPITAL INVESTMENT
The paper presents empirical analysis of
a panel of countries to estimate an agricultural production
function using a measure of capital in agriculture absent
from most studies. The authors employ a heterogeneous
technology framework where implemented technology is chosen
jointly with inputs to interpret information obtained in the
empirical analysis of panel data. The paper discusses the
scope for replacing country and time effects by observed
variables and the limitations of instrumental variables. The
empirical results differ from those reported in the
literature for cross-country studies, largely in augmenting
the role of capital, in combination with productivity gains,
as a driver of agricultural growth. The results indicate
that total factor productivity increased at an average rate
of 3.2 percent, accounting for 59 percent of overall growth.
Most of the remaining gains stem from large inflows of fixed
capital into agriculture. The results also suggest possible
constraints to fertilizer use.

The author looks at the feasibility and potential of instituting small-scale irrigation dams to reduce Ethiopia s dependence on rainfed agriculture and the associated food insecurity. He develops a theoretical framework to assess the welfare implications of irrigation development programs and provides empirical evidence from microdam construction and reforestation projects in northern Ethiopia. The author pays particular attention to health-related costs of establishing small-scale irrigation dams in areas prone to waterborne diseases. While the theoretical analyses imply that the net welfare impacts of irrigation dams cannot be known a priori due to potential health costs, the empirical evidence shows that current agricultural yield and farm profit have increased in villages with closer proximity to the dams than in those more distant. The increased disease incidence due to standing pools of water has, however, led to significant declines in the returns from investment in irrigation water. Households with poor health are less likely to adopt productivity-enhancing as well as resource-conserving technologies, which are crucial for achieving the ultimate goal of sustainable agricultural development. The ensuing sickness has also led to reduction in labor allocation to off-farm activities. The findings underline the importance of weighing beforehand the magnitude of potential economic benefits against health costs of water development programs. The overall evidence...

#AGRICULTURAL LAND#AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION#AGRICULTURE#BANK POLICY#BEST PRACTICES#BUSINESS INVESTMENTS#CIVIL WAR#COMMODITIES#COMMODITY#COMMODITY PRICES#CONTRACT ENFORCEMENT
The recent surge in food and fuel prices
has prompted countries with high dependence on food imports
to try and lock in future food supplies through direct
investment in agricultural production in other countries.
The price surges also led to a wave of proposals to invest
in biofuels investments in agricultural land. While such
investment can provide large benefits, it also carries
considerable risks both to investors and citizens in the
locality of the investment. To ensure that investments
provide broad benefits and effectively contribute to larger
development outcomes, enforceable property rights and
contractual agreements in many developing countries need to
be strengthened. This note considers how development
partners can help countries create the pre-conditions for
investment and proposes a governance framework to establish
minimum standards for it.

Due to climate change and increasing
food prices, emphasis needs to be placed on addressing water
management as a key determinant for agricultural production
and productivity. However, governments and donors have
tended to pay relatively little attention to this area, and
investments remain low. This report, which is based on
economic and sector work carried out in the Water Anchor of
the World Bank, highlights the importance of improving water
management in rainfed agriculture, with a focus on those
production systems where water is a main constraint. It
provides a synthesis of the state-of-the-art thinking and
experience. Considering the various issues that are
currently preventing further upscaling of these measures,
and better evaluation of the feasibility of applying
particular measures or combination of measures, the report
proposes options and recommendations for interventions to
help overcome these issues. In doing so, the report aims to
stimulate discussion and encourage new thinking among World
Bank staff and counterparts in client countries who work on
enhancing agricultural productivity and livelihoods in
rainfed agriculture through improved water management and
related interventions.

Nonseparable household models outline
the links between agricultural production and household
consumption, yet empirical extensions to investigate the
effect of production on dietary diversity and diet
composition are limited. Although a significant literature
has investigated the calorie-income elasticity abstracting
from production, this paper provides an empirical
application of the nonseparable household model linking the
effect of exogenous variation in planting season production
decisions via climate variability on household dietary
diversity. Using exogenous variation in degree days,
rainfall, and agricultural capital stocks as instruments,
the effect of production on household dietary diversity at
harvest is estimated. The empirical specifications estimate
production effects on dietary diversity using both
agricultural revenue and crop production diversity.
Significant effects of agricultural revenue and crop
production diversity on dietary diversity are estimated. The
dietary diversity-production elasticities imply that a 10
percent increase in agricultural revenue or crop diversity
results in a 1.8 percent or 2.4 percent increase in dietary
diversity...

Africa is estimated to have great
potential for agricultural production, but there are a
number of constraints inhibiting the development of that
potential. Spatial data are increasingly important in the
realization of potential as well as the associated
constraints. With crop production data generated at 5-minute
spatial resolution, the paper applies the spatial tobit
regression model to estimate the possible impacts of
improvements in transport accessibility in East Africa. It
is found that rural accessibility and access to markets are
important to increase agricultural production. In particular
for export crops, such as coffee, tea, tobacco, and cotton,
access to ports is crucial. The elasticities are estimated
at 0.3–4.6. In addition, the estimation results show that
spatial autocorrelation matters to the estimation results.
While a random shock in a particular locality would likely
affect its neighboring places, the spatial autoregressive
term can be positive or negative, depending on how
fragmented the current production areas are.

The United Nations estimates that global
food demand will double by 2050, with much of that growth in
developing countries. The world will have 2.3 billion more
people, and given the deep transformation of growth
trajectories in low-income countries, they will be
increasingly affluent, with demands for more, different, and
better food. While countries in Latin America and the
Caribbean (LAC) are quite heterogeneous in their production
potential, overall they are well equipped to contribute to
meeting this challenge. LAC has always maintained a strong
comparative advantage in agricultural production, as
indicated not only by its position as a net food exporter
but also by its high comparative advantage. LAC is also well
endowed in renewable water resources, with about a third of
the 42,000 cubic kilometers worldwide. Per capita, LAC has
the highest endowment of renewable water among developing
regions, though some sub regions in LAC face higher than
average scarcity. This report's in-depth look at
Argentina and Brazil identifies looming logistics and policy
issues that threaten to derail these locomotives of
agricultural growth and some policy choices that have
contributed to their success and that might be worth
emulating. While LAC countries have substantially reduced
the anti-export and anti-agricultural biases in their trade

The issue of regional differences in
development has moved to the center of the development
debate in Sri Lanka, partly after the release of regional
poverty data. For the past many years, there have been
significant and increasing differences between the Western
province and the rest of the country in terms of per capita
income levels, growth rates of per capita income, poverty
rates, and the structure of provincial economies. The
structure of the report is as follows: chapter two looks at
the poverty/growth/agriculture nexus in the poorest regions
of Sri Lanka. It presents data on poverty and growth in the
poorest provinces, especially Uva and Sabaragamuwa, and
provides an analysis of factors associated with the rural
poor. Chapter three provides an overview and brief
discussion of the Government's agricultural policies
and programs. Chapter four identifies constraints that
restrict farmers' incomes in the four poorest
provinces. It presents results from extensive stakeholder
consultations carried out in these provinces. These results
are complemented with findings from the 2005 rural
investment climate assessment to identify some of the
general constraints in the agriculture sector in Sri Lanka.
Chapter five presents the findings of an agricultural
resource audit of small-scale farmers in the poorest regions
that analyzed production...

The work described in this report is a
first step to addressing the longer-term issues related to
the competitiveness of South Sudan's farmers in a
regional context. It focuses on the options for increasing
the amount and value of agricultural production in the crop
sector, the potential contribution of rural roads to
increasing crop production and how to sequence and
prioritize rural road investments in a way that maximizes
their contribution to realization of the country's full
agricultural potential, especially in light of the competing
needs for resources, the very high construction and
maintenance costs of rural roads, and the low capacity of
the local construction industry. The report also explores
possible ways of increasing the cost competitiveness of
agriculture in South Sudan vis-a-vis its neighbors (Uganda
and Sudan). The core sections of the report include: i) an
assessment of the potential for expanding cropland to
increase agricultural production; ii) assessment of the
contribution and role of improved rural roads and enhanced
access to markets in creating incentives for future
expansion of cultivated land in areas with high agricultural
potential; iii) an estimation of budget requirements for
road investments in areas with high agricultural potential;
and iv) an analysis of the implications of better road
infrastructure for agricultural competitiveness...

Changes in climate and their impact on agricultural systems and rural economies are already evident throughout Europe and Central Asia (ECA). Adaptation measures now in use in Moldova, largely piecemeal efforts, will be insufficient to prevent impacts on agricultural production over the coming decades. There is growing interest at country and development partner levels to have a better understanding of the exposure, sensitivities, and impacts of climate change at farm level, and to develop and prioritize adaptation measures to mitigate the adverse consequences. The approach of this volume is predicated on strong country ownership and participation, and is defined by its emphasis on 'win-win' or 'no regrets' solutions to the multiple challenges posed by climate change for the farmers of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The solutions are measures that increase resilience to future climate change, boost current productivity despite the greater climate variability already occurring, and limit greenhouse gas emissions-also known as 'climate-smart agriculture.' Specifically, this report provides a menu of climate change adaptation options for the agriculture and water resources sectors, along with specific recommendations that are tailored to three distinct Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZs) within Moldova. This menu reflects the results of three inter-related activities...

Agricultural production is inextricably tied to climate, making agriculture one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors. In countries such as Uzbekistan, the risks of climate change for the agricultural sector are a particularly immediate and important problem because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Recent trends in water availability and the presence of drought in Uzbekistan have underscored these risks, as has the presence of agricultural pests that may not have previously been found in Uzbekistan. The need to adapt to climate change in all sectors is on the agenda of national governments and development partners. The capacity to adapt to climatic changes, both in mitigating risks and in taking advantage of the opportunities that climate change can create, is in part dependent on financial resources. As a result, development partners will continue to have an important role in enhancing the adaptive capacity of the Uzbekistan agriculture sector. In response to these challenges, the World Bank and the government of Uzbekistan embarked on a joint study to identify and prioritize options for climate change adaptation of the agricultural sector. This report provides a menu of practical climate change adaptation options for the agriculture and water resources sectors...

Agricultural production is inextricably tied to climate, making agriculture one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors. In countries such as the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia, the risks of climate change for the agricultural sector are a particularly immediate and important problem because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Climate impacts can therefore undermine progress that has been made in poverty reduction and adversely impact food security and economic growth in vulnerable rural areas. In order to be effective, a plan for adapting the sector to climate change must strengthen both human capital and physical capital in their capacity. The need to adapt to climate change in all sectors is now on the agenda of national governments and development partners. As a result, development partners will continue to have an important role in enhancing the adaptive capacity of the Macedonian agricultural sector. Another key factor for FYR Macedonia's development of an adaptation plan for agriculture is furthering FYR Macedonia's work toward European Union (EU) accession, for which FYR Macedonia has been a candidate since 2005. The Macedonian government has already begun to focus on required EU reforms...
