AbstractAgribusiness evolved as the input supply industries, commodity processors, food manufacturers, and food distributors were established to respond to the needs of farmers and consumers. Agribusiness is an emerging academic discipline at land grant and nonland grant schools.Agribusiness: An International Journalis a new publication designed to serve as a forum for industry practitioners and university researchers.

摘要:

AbstractAgribusiness, broadly defined, is still the most important sector in the world economy. From a policy‐making standpoint, it is best to view agribusiness as an interdependent global food system. When individual countries formulate agriculture and trade policies, they rarely take into account interactions with policies of other nations. The result of uncoordinated policy making has been increased price volatility and greater risk for agribusiness firms. To counteract, new trading entities have formed and the role of trade facilitators such as the World Bank has taken on greater importance. There are needs for international coordinating and conflict resolving mechanisms for the trade of traditional agricultural commodities and high valued products. There is also a need to reconcile the rapidly evolving global agribusiness system with noncommercial agriculture and with persistent hunger problem

摘要:

AbstractAgronomic research has shown that cotton grown on narrower rows (30 in) can exhibit a positive yield response when compared to conventionally spaced rows (40 in). While narrow row cotton can easily be harvested with a stripper harvester, spindle pickers are not currently available with that capability. Recently, several independent producers devised a conversion procedure to allow a standard spindle picker to harvest 30‐in row cotton. This economic feasibility study of such a conversion indicates that narrow row cotton can produce a higher and more stable net return than conventionally spaced cotton when harvested with a converted spindle picker. This applies to the Lower Rio Grande Valley and can be extended to other areas which produce long staple cotton that requires spindle pickin

摘要:

AbstractThis article presents the results of a national opinion poll of grocery shoppers on their attitudes toward food safety. Specific issues examined include nutrition and food safety, attitudes toward specific substances, product tampering, product recalls, sources of information, and responsibility for food safety. Results indicate that in spite of a series of food safety related events over the last three years, public confidence in the basic wholesomeness and safety of our food supply has remained intact.

摘要:

AbstractA random sample of Ohio farm operators was queried about the price discounts received on seed, fertilizer, pesticides, and machinery. Analysis of the survey data found that, consistent with the findings of previous studies, large farmers (1000 + acres) received higher discounts than smaller farmers. Significantly, the analysis also found that the average discount increased over all farm sizes investigated. Therefore, not just the largest farm operators reported significant discounts. Lastly, substantial variation was found in the discounts reported by farm operators with the same size operation.

摘要:

AbstractThe outdated provisions of some of the legislation governing the formation and operation of agricultural cooperatives should be revised to provide a more functional set of guidelines for these organizations. Revisions should include a new model cooperative statute to foster a common set of cooperative law among the states and additional state legislation governing equity redemption. The limitations of the exceptions and exemptions for cooperatives under our federal antitrust and securities laws should be respected in order to preserve the ability of persons to act together in self‐help organization

摘要:

AbstractSince wheat and flour are shipped over long distances, railroad rates exert a key influence on the location of the wheat flour milling industry. Two locational models are employed to explain recent trends in the location of the industry. One of these is a transport locational model focusing on flour milling location in the eastern half of the U.S. The other is a linear programming model which analyzes flour milling location in the west. The empirical analysis indicates that high railroad flour rates relative to wheat rates should shift the industry out of the rural wheat producing areas and toward population centers. An analysis of actual industry trends over the 1960–1982 period confirms the empirical results of the locational models. Railroad deregulation does not appear to have affected locational trends in the flour milling industr

摘要:

AbstractAn empirical study of the causal patterns among world wheat markets suggests that weak lead‐lag relationships do exist between various wheat markets. Ten monthly time series for the period January 1972 to February 1981 and four weekly time series for the period July 1977 to June 1980 were analyzed using extensions of time series modeling procedures of Box and Jenkins. Differences between the empirical results and price leadership models in the economic literature are noted. Strong evidence of instantaneous movement among world wheat markets was found, but due to limitations in the data, there is only weak evidence that some markets act as price leaders. There is consistent evidence that the United States has been a price leader in the cash market over the years 1972 to 198

摘要:

AbstractSeveral authors have advanced the premise that the barriers to entry into an industry are lower for a firm if its current activities are similar to those of firms in the industry it wishes to enter. If true, the incidence of entry should be positively correlated with the degree of relatedness,ceteris paribus. In this study measures of relatedness are employed to explain entry of dairies into the chilled orange juice industry. The results suggest that relatedness, particularly with respect to packaging and processing, is an important factor in entry decisions.
