Significance Last year brought yet another large grain harvest and other farming sectors including meat and dairy performed well. However, a second year of export restrictions on wheat reflects political worries about managing domestic prices, not actual food availability. Impacts As expected, Russia has renewed its food embargo against Western nations to the end of 2021. A Russian ban on certain produce from Uzbekistan, later reversed, may reflect political friction more than safety concerns. To offset the loss of Uzbek tomatoes, Russia has increased its import quota for Turkey by 25%.

AbstractKorea replaced its rice import quota with a tariff rate quota (TRQ) in 2015. A structural model representing the Korean rice market is developed to evaluate this new trade policy and examine the possibility of Korean rice imports under uncertainty. Results indicate that rice imports in excess of the current TRQ quantity are unlikely for a range of market conditions. Two scenarios, which are the over-quota tariff rate reduction and the TRQ quantity expansion, show how the market responds to policy changes. In addition, Korean rice imports are sensitive to consumer preferences for different rice types.

LHI adalah anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat dan sekaligus Presiden Partai KS. Pada bulan Januari 2013, LHI menerima uang sebesar Rp. 1.300.000.000,- dan 1 (satu) unit mobil Toyota FJ Cruiser seharga Rp 1.100.000.000,- dari MEL selaku Direktur Utama PT. IU. Pemberian tersebut diberikan berkaitan dengan jabatan LHI selaku anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, LHI diminta untuk mempengaruhi sesama anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat dan mempengaruhi S selaku Menteri Pertanian yang juga merupakan anggota Partai KS.

Shallot is the main priority commodity in the development of lowland vegetable in Indonesia. Demand for shallot increases every year but domestic shallot production is unable to meet the demand. Therefore, import of shallot is needed to cover the gap. On the other hand, the import policy also has changed by government in accordance with the policy objectives. The research objectives are (1) to identify the factors that influence the production, demand, import, and price of shallot; (2) to analyze the impact of import tariff, import quota, and the external factor on supply, demand, and price of shallot; and (3) to analyze the impact of import tariff, import quota, and the external factor on shallot producers and consumers welfare in Indonesia. In order to address these objectives, a simultaneous equations model of Indonesian shallot trade was estimated by Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS) method. The shallot production is influenced by the real producer price of shallot, harvested area, and credit interest rates. This research indicates that the increase of shallot import tariff will increase the shallot prices, producers welfare, government revenues and net welfare, but it decrease supply, demand, import, and consumers welfare. To anticipate the decrease of world price of shallot (12 percent) and to increase the shallot producers and net welfare in Indonesia, government of Indonesia is suggested to restrict the shallot import by imposing import tariff (more than nine percent) or decrease import quota.

This study focuses on the impact of foreign physical steel imports on the output of the US steel industry. This industry faces a comparative disadvantage in costs and from reduced utilized capacity in steel making. The strong desire of many foreign steel producers to export steel to the US lucrative market led to their plant modernization with the associated economies of scale. This led to steel import surge in America. The imposed trade restrictions had mixed outcomes. The domestic steel output is modeled as function of steel imports and from the size of the economy addressed by shipments. The OLS estimate of steel imports is insignificant and this could be explained by the ineffectiveness of the various instituted trade instruments, from increased foreign prices of steel, and from depreciated dollars at some points in time during the period in study. As expected the measure of the economyshipments variable has a positive impact on steel production.
