Economic Linkages

AbstractAn interregional input-output model of the Monroe, Louisiana, Functional Economic Area constructed with IMPLAN is used to assess economic linkages between a small urban core and a surrounding rural periphery. The contribution of agriculture, especially in the rural periphery, to the urban core (Ouachita Parish) economy is demonstrated. Also assessed is the possibility of using the core's food processing sector to facilitate periphery economic growth. While results demonstrated stronger rural-urban linkages than have been found in other regions, growth in the urban food processing industry, as currently structured, did not imply rapid growth in the periphery.

<p>This paper aims to analyze the economy-wide impact of an increase in the export of food processing industry in Iran and to compare it to the same increase in oil and gas exports as the main eco-nomic sector. It uses both demand-driven and supply-driven mixed Input-Output models referred to as 2011 SAM framework purposely designed by authors. The results show that an increase in the food pro-cessing industry promotes the production of other sectors and, increases factor employment and house-hold income. The significance of this impact is comparable to a similar shock in the oil and gas sector.</p>

Food Processing Sector

Micro Food processing industry is gaining its momentum in the recent years in Northeast India and particularly in Manipur. This sector plays a vital role in connecting the bridge between the agricultural produce and the entrepreneurship development. The region bestows by the abundance of unique and rich horticultural produce gives thrust to developing the food processing sector in the region. Government schemes and projects also add to the development of the sector and to the food entrepreneur by providing financial, technical and business support. The state sharing its border with the Myanmar has a significant impact on the food processing industry particularly in terms of marketing and trading aspects. Food Entrepreneurs should enhance their work on diversifying the horizons of the value added products, increasing job opportunities, marketing and technical skills etc. which will ultimately help in developing the food processing industry in the state.

Common actions play the rising role in today' s world. The integration processes on an international scale influence on the integration processes between branches of agriculture and food processing industry on the country or region scale. There are distinguished two main types of integration: vertical and horizontal; sometimes it is said about diagonal (or cross) integration. It is also said about complete and indirect integration. The best possibilities of development both of the main integration forms exist in an agrobusiness. The agrobusiness is the part of the traditional economy and includes all of the elements necessary to the food producing and delivering to consumers.

Entrepreneurial Activities

<p><em>Indian economy is predominantly dependent on agriculture and allied sectors as they are the important source of raw material and demand for many industrial products. As one among the allied sector, food processing sector is nowadays gaining attention amid entrepreneurs across the country. Famer’s interest as an entrepreneur is constantly increasing in terms of investment which creates a promising atmosphere for affluent growth of food processing industry. Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Govt. of India is a wing which is actively engaged in promoting entrepreneurial activities in fruits and vegetables processing sector.</em><em> </em><em>However, there exists a definite demand to attract the small and marginal farmers to avail this entrepreneurship facility so that it can help in improving their livelihood and become a source of their family income. This particular case study is a representation of facilities availed by some entrepreneurs in ICAR-CIPHET Abohar for aonla processing. Such kind of information may become a source of encouragement for the farmers who are having a desire to promote themselves as farmer cum businessman.</em></p>

The article describes in detail and applies the methodological approach to the conditions of the Czech markets; such an approach may be used in quantifying changes in the volume of consumer demand for food if the VAT rate or the physical persons' income tax rate are changed. To define the percentage change in the consumer demand for food caused by changes in the VAT rate or in the physical persons' income tax rate, the differential-logarithmic model of the Marshallian demand function was applied: dQ/Q &times; 100 = &epsilon; &times; [ln(1 + &nu;1) &ndash; ln(1 + &nu;0)] &times; 100 + &eta; &times; [ln(1 &ndash; &mu;1) &ndash; ln(1 &ndash; &mu;1)] &times; 100. The general form of the dynamic demand model was adjusted to the conditions of the Czech final food market through the respective coefficients of the price elasticity (&epsilon;) and the income elasticity (&eta;) as follows: dQ/Q &times; 100 = &ndash;0.514 &times; [ln(1 + &nu;1) &ndash; ln(1 + &nu;0)] &times; 100 + 0.583 &times; [ln(1 &ndash; &mu;1) &ndash; ln(1 &ndash; &mu;1)] &times; 100. On the basis of the derived differential model, it may be stated that an increase in the VAT rate by 1 percentage point from the original rate (10%) would cause a decrease in the demand for food of an average Czech household by 0.4652%. In the case of an increase in the physical person's income tax by 1 percentage point from the original rate (15%), the demand for food of an average Czech household would decrease by 0.6899%. The achieved results show that the demand of Czech households for food responds more sensitively to changes in the income tax. Quantification of the relative change in the consumer demand for food caused by the tax rate changes, especially the VAT tax rate change, is also useful for making estimates of the relative changes in demand functions within the respective agriculture and food-processing industry verticals. The performed analysis shows that the changes in the volume of consumer demand for food will be transferred in the same percentage rate to the demand functions within the respective agriculture and food-processing industry verticals, provided the technical and technological conditions are stabile.
