Short-term global crop acreage response to international food prices and implications of volatility
Understanding how producers make decisions to allot acreage among crops and how decisions about land use are affected by changes in prices and their volatility is fundamental for predicting the supply of staple crops and, hence, assessing the global food supply situation. The innovations of the present paper are estimates of monthly (i.e. seasonal) versus annual global acreage response models f...

متن کاملShort-term acreage forecasting and supply elasticities for staple food commodities in major producer countries
Forecasting food production is important to identify possible shortages in supply and, thus, food security risks. Such forecasts may improve input allocation decisions that affect agribusiness and the input supply industry. This paper explains methods and data used to forecast acreage of four crops that are particularly important staple commodities in the world, namely wheat, corn, rice, and so...
متن کاملEstimating Price Variability in Agriculture: Implications for Decision-Makers
Using a stochastic version of the POLYSYS modeling framework, an examination of projected variability in agricultural prices, supply, demand, stocks, and incomes is conducted. Random yield and export shocks are introduced in each of 100 iterations of a ten-year simulation and planted acreage, production, total use, ending stock, stock-to-use, season average price, and net return results are pre...
متن کاملEffects of the GM Controversy on Iowa Corn-Soybean Farmers' Acreage Allocation Decisions
Prior to the 2000 planting season, some industry obsemers predicted acreage of genetically modified crops would decline dramatically. However, actual 2000 plantings presented a puzzle. Farmers reduced their acreage of genetically modified corn, but concurrently increased their acreage of genetically modified soybeans. We demonstrate that it may be theoretically optimal for risk-averse farmers t...
