Trade Market

Corn, after Wheat and rice, is the third most strategic agricultural products in the world. This product also provides poultry feed, grain, edible oil beneficial for starch, glucose, and even the production of biofuels. Corn is by far the largest component of world coarse-grain trade, accounting for about three-quarters of total volume in recent years. Most of the corn that is traded is used for feed; smaller amounts are traded for industrial and food uses. This paper aims to determine market structure of corn which can play important roles in the adoption of appropriate policies. This study uses different indexes: concentration ratio, Herfindahl, Entropy and logarithmic standard deviation to determine market structure of exports and imports of this product during 2000-2011. The results have shown that the structure of the world market for imports and exports of corn was opened oligopoly and monopoly with a dominant firm.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v8i5.11856

Olive Cultivation

The big gap between the production and consumption of edible oil in India is met by imports of more than a million tonnes annually, which have become a heavy drain on the country's slender foreign exchange resources. It is an urgent necessity to augment edible oil production, without prejudice to the cultivation of other agriculturally important crops. The olive offers an edible oil very much valued in the world market, and efforts to introduce its cultivation are desirable. The special properties of this oil and the soil and climatic conditions required for olive cultivation are described and the possibilities are discussed for its introduction in the marginal lands of India, particularly Rajasthan and adjoining areas.

Relative Market Share

Applying a strategic management perspective, particularly the BCG tool, this chapter demonstrates that the agricultural products exported by Turkey are distributed unevenly on the four cells of the global agricultural markets matrix: almost of its products (236 products or 85.20% of its portfolio) are Question Marks, two products are a Star, one product is a Cash cow, and 38 products are Dogs. Such a situation creates important strategic choices for the leaders of the country and for its businesses. None of Turkey top ten exports were among the top ten growers in the world. Turkey is world export leader in ten products, but these products are not the world most growing markets, and the country should increase its relative market share in some of its ten top exports, and also consider developing organic product segments, and eliminate tobacco products in its portfolio.

Positive Effect

Introduction. According to experts, in the coming years, the world market of organic products will continue to grow at a rate of 15-16% per year. The growth will equal about 20% of the world market of all agricultural products by 2025. In this connection, of a particular interest is the development of elements of agricultural technologies for the use of soil-improving substances and growth regulators of natural origin, including humic preparations, which provide for sufficiently high yields of agricultural products. Materials and Methods. The methods of using humic preparations were investigated on the example of spring barley seeds, treated with the traditional semi-dry method and using hot mist. Germination of seeds in the laboratory was carried out according to the Russian State Standard GOST 12038-84. The laboratory data were subjected to mathematical processing by the method of variance analysis. Results. The treatment of seeds with humic preparations led to an increase in sowing qualities, regardless of the method of seed treatment. However, the comparative efficiency analysis of the pre-sowing treatment of the test crop seeds with the aerosol and using the semi-dry method showed that the use of the developed equipment made it possible to increase the biological activity of humic preparations, which brought about an increase in the growth and biometric parameters of seedlings. Discussion and Conclusion. The treatment of spring barley seeds with humic preparations has some positive effect on their sowing and yield qualities. The strongest positive effect was obtained when treating seeds with reduced sowing qualities, which was quite often observed when harvesting seed crops in years with unfavorable conditions: heavy rainfall, lack of heat, as well as in violation of the technology of harvesting and preparing seeds. Our experimental studies showed that the use of the developed device for treating seeds with hot mist reduces energy costs and increases processing efficiency.

The purpose of the research in this paper is to analyze the production of raspberries in Republic of N. Macedonia and to perceive its place on the world market of raspberries, as well as to analyze the market opportunities for raspberry production in Republic of N. Macedonia. The results of the research show that Russia occupies 19% of world raspberry production for 2018 while Mexico occupies 15% of total raspberry production and Serbia occupies 15% of total raspberry production for 2018, i.e. it is the third largest producer in the world. The production of raspberries worldwide has increased by 7% in 2018 compared to 2017, while compared to 2010 this production worldwide has increased by 40%. Republic of N. Macedonia with its 33rd place occupies 0.03% of the total world production of raspberries in 2018 from a total of 45 countries. But despite the small share in world raspberry production in 2018, Republic of N. Macedonia records a drastic increase (by 96%) compared to 2010, while compared to 2017 it increased by 25%. Republic of N. Macedonia has the necessary conditions for the production of raspberries, but still this branch is not fully developed.

In the name of “development,” peasants throughout the Third World have been convinced to turn their small plots over to agribusiness for use in producing cash crops for the world market. This paper concerns one tragic example of this process—the banana export industry in the Philippines. Formerly self-provisioning small farmers have been drawn into a system controlled by three transnational corporations (United Brands, Del Monte, and Castle & Cooke) and plunged into a cycle of perpetual indebtedness and exploitation. In such situations, food has become an endangered need.

Events of the past two years, specifically the agricultural price explosion of 1973, have strongly emphasized the growing interdependency of countries in the production, consumption and trade in agricultural products. The illusion of a closed agricultural economy has been dealt a series of severe blows. The world monetary crisis, the dollar devaluations, and sharply increased foreign demand for U.S. commodities have suggested that there is a single world market for basic commodities.

California. The most populous state in the Union, the third largest in area, with a gross product that surpasses that of any other state and all but a handful of countries in the world. Stretching almost 900 miles from the Mexican border to the Oregon state line, this Golden State contains within its 100 million acres a varied landscape of coastline, foothills, mountains, valleys, and deserts. From the northern foothills came the gold that sparked the early and raucous growth of the state, and from the fertile land of the Great Central Valley comes the agricultural products that constitute the foundation of its present wealth. Along its vast coast line, especially in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, resides over ninety percent of the population.

AbstractDuring the late Soviet period, Russia (along with the Soviet Union as a whole) was a major importer of grain, as well as soybeans and soybean meal, which were used to help feed the country’s growing livestock sector. The substantial reform-driven contraction in the livestock sector during the 1990s largely eliminated the need for grain imports. Beginning around 2000, Russia began to export grain, and into the 2010s it became major supplier on the world market. During 2016–2019, Russia exported on average 44 million metric tonnes a year, 10–14 percent of total world grain exports. The country’s dominant grain export is wheat, with Russia providing in the late 2010s around 20 percent of world market sales, thereby supplanting the United States as the world’s top wheat supplier. This chapter examines how Russia has developed into a major grain exporter, with the focus on how growing grain production since 2000 has generated surpluses for foreign sale.

So the tendencies of development of agroholdings and other agroformations in modern socio-economic conditions are relevant. In order to study the mechanism of their development, models of interconnection between the components of production of the main types of products of agricultural holdings and the availability of agricultural raw materials are constructed. The main approaches are the multivariate regression modeling of the dependence of production of agricultural holdings on components of agricultural production. The subject of the study in the article is the development of the agroholdings. The goal is researching of the tendencies of development of agroholdings and other agroformations in modern socio-economic conditions. Objectives: research of dynamics of the development of agroholdings of Ukraine in terms of its components in the conditions of globalization of world economic processes in the market of agricultural products. Common scientific methods are used: system analysis for to determine the peculiarities of the development of the agro-industrial production in Ukraine; the regression analysis for calculating of the dependence of production of agricultural holdings on components of agricultural production. The following results: on the basis of the analysis of the dynamics of changes in the main indices of domestic agricultural production were obtained analytical interdependence of factors influencing on development of agroholdings. Conclusions: the multivariate regression model of the dependence of production of agricultural holdings on components of agricultural production is calculated; obtained researchings are expedient to use in foreign economic activity as recommendations for definition of the strategy of Ukraine on the world market of agricultural products.
