Abstract This paper reviews rice procurement operations of Government of India from the standpoints of cost of procurement as well as effectiveness in supporting farmers’ incomes. The two channels in use for procuring rice till 2015, were custom milling of rice and levy. In the first, the government bought paddy directly from farmers at the minimum support price (MSP) and got it milled from private millers; while in the second, it purchased rice from private millers at a pre-announced levy price thus providing indirect price support to farmers. Secondary data reveal that levy, despite implying lower cost of procurement was discriminated against till about a decade back and eventually abolished in 2015 in favor of custom milling, better trusted to provide minimum price support. We analyze data from auctions of paddy from a year when levy was still important to investigate its impact on farmers’ revenues. We use semi-nonparametric estimates of millers’ values to simulate farmers’ expected revenues and find these to be rather close to the MSP; a closer analysis shows that bidder competition is critical to this result. Finally, we use our estimates to quantify the impact of change in levy price on farmers’ revenues and use this to discuss ways to revive the levy channel.

Price Policies

Wheat is Pakistan's main food and strategic crop. Currently, the government controls wheat prices through a minimum support price (MSP) policy to encourage production. However, despite the increase in wheat production, input costs and output prices have been increasing over the years. This paper aims to analyse the impact of wheat support price policies. We use data from different government sources to estimate the financial implications of MSP and compare the support price policies of India and Pakistan. We find that Pakistan’s current minimum support price policy encourages farmers to produce larger quantities of wheat, but this places a heavy financial burden on the country's finances. Our results indicate that the higher MSP of wheat has made the country lose its competitiveness in the international market. Besides, we found that the cost of wheat production in Pakistan is much higher than in India. These higher production costs force the government to raise the MSP to maintain farmers' profitability. The high MSP is guaranteed by subsidizing the procurement and release of wheat, which imposes a heavy financial burden on government finances. In addition, the rise in wheat prices in recent years has also hurt consumers. Policymakers can redistribute subsidies by subsidizing wheat inputs, especially fertilizers and seeds, to reduce production costs. To this end, the best policy intervention may be to provide input subsidies rather than subsidies on purchase prices. A reduction in input costs will correspondingly reduce output prices, which will increase farmers' profitability, consumer surplus and the international competitiveness of Pakistani wheat.

The Impact

Two major programs — allotment-quota and price support — have been in force to support peanut farming since 1952. The purpose is to restrict production of peanuts while supporting the price of peanuts produced. Production is restricted through the allotment-quota program, determined by the Secretary of Agriculture, and converted to a national acreage allotment. However, minimum national acreage allotment has been fixed at 1.61 million acres. The price support program provided that price be supported no lower than 75 percent of the parity price of peanuts. Under the programs, peanuts produced by the grower are sold on the market at the support price for edible uses and excess quantities are sold to the government at the support price. Peanuts purchased by the government are stored and later sold for crushing at the going market price. Because peanuts for crushing command a much lower price than the government acquisition price, the purchase-and-resale operation results in a net loss representing public cost of the peanut price support program.

Background: Low public awareness of the impact of smoking makes the implementation of smoke-free areas (KTR) difficult. Smoke-free areas aim to protect the public from the direct and indirect effects of smoking. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the application of smoke-free areas and the prevalence of active and ex-smokers in Indonesia. Method: This study implemented a cross-sectional design, using secondary data from the Riskesdas 2018 on active and ex-smokers. KTR application data were obtained from the Profile of Non-Communicable Diseases in 2016. A Pearson product-moment test was conducted by a computer application to determine the correlation coefficient (r). This coefficient was used to describe the level of correlation between the two variables; significance was determined as a p value of 5%. Results: This study showed that the average application of KTR throughout Indonesia was 50.83%, active smokers comprised 23.49% of the population, and ex-smokers comprised 4.94%. Most active smokers were in Java and Sumatra, while the majority of ex-smokers were in Java and Sulawesi and the majority of KTR was in Java. This study shows that there is a positive correlation between KTR application and the percentage of ex-smokers (r = 0.46; p value = 0.01). Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the application of KTR and an increase in ex-smokers. The government needs to increase the application of KTR policies.

This study investigates the impact of fuel price adjusment on changes in fuel consumption and inflation in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data obtained from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Trade, Bank Indonesia, the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), and PT Pertamina (Persero) from 2006 to 2016 and analyzed by using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. Research showed, if the government increases Premium Gasoline's price by 10%, in average its consumption would decrease around 2,99 %. However, if the Pertamax Gasoline's price increases, the consumption of Premium Gasoline would also increase due to substitution effect. Every 10% increase in Subsidized Diesel's price, in average its consumption would decrease around 4,80 % and vice versa. However, if the Pertamina dex's price increases, the consumption of Subsidized Diesel would also increase due to substitution effect. Moreover, IDR1.000/L increase in Premium Gasoline's Price would contribute 1,10 % to the inflation rate. On the other hand, increase in Subsidized Diesel's price does not contribute to the inflation rate.

This research attempts to analyze the effects of the economic integration of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which was implemented since 2015. The impact analyzed is focused on investments made in Indonesia, both investments made by foreign investors and domestic investors. Another thing that was also highlighted in this study was the flow of exports and imports. This was also investigated because one of the policies contained in the agreement of the ASEAN economic community was the elimination of international trade barriers. In addition to the two things above, researchers also analyzed the influence of the ASEAN economic community on the use oflabor in Indonesia. The data analyzed in this study are secondary data obtained from the relevant agencies. The method used in this study is a different sample pair test. This method is used because the research conducted is comparing the conditions of investment, export-import and use of labor in Indonesia before and after the economic integration of the ASEAN Economic Community. At the end of this study, researchers will provide recommendations to the government regarding what should be done by the government to optimize investment activities, exports and use of local labor in Indonesia.
