Book Description
"Agricultural produce markets have a special role in the development of a country having predominantly agricultural economy. Therefore, regulation in the marketing of agricultural produce has widely been adopted in India. But, without a good transport network, the regulated markets have no meaning because only transportation can provide access to and from the markets for the marketable goods. Furthermore, there are many facets of marketing and transportation. It is in this backdrop a study having an integrated approach to cover all the major dimensions of both the factors is required for overall assessment and planning. In present study an effort has been made to make an analysis of various relevant factors and aspects in integrated manner and find out ameliorative measures in order to increase the efficiency of various regulated markets mainly by improving transport network. The book tries to analyse the spatio-temporal features of regulated markets/marketing and transport network in the canal irrigated region of north-western Rajasthan. It also attempts to have a view of the functioning of regulated markets on the basis of an empirical study to evaluate the marketing efficiency and performance of various markets. An effort has also been made to identify trade areas of various regulated markets of the region and to determine hierarchy of those markets. And, finally, it proposes certain methods on the basis of which future projections can be made by setting up of yardsticks to achieve realistic targets."

Local Food Systems; Concepts, Impacts, and Issues
Author: Steve Martinez
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437933629
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
This comprehensive overview of local food systems explores alternative definitions of local food, estimates market size and reach, describes the characteristics of local consumers and producers, and examines early indications of the economic and health impacts of local food systems. Defining ¿local¿ based on marketing arrangements, such as farmers selling directly to consumers at regional farmers¿ markets or to schools, is well recognized. Statistics suggest that local food markets account for a small, but growing, share of U.S. agricultural production. For smaller farms, direct marketing to consumers accounts for a higher percentage of their sales than for larger farms. Charts and tables.

Foundations of Agricultural Market Analysis and Agricultural Policy
Author: Ulrich Koester
Publisher: Vahlen
ISBN: 3800663503
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Ulrich Koester researches and teaches at the Institute for Agricultural Economics at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, Germany. He has been a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry for over 20 years. Moreover, he gained experience working with the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington D.C. and with numerous international organizations, including the World Bank, FAO, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Court of Auditors. His teaching experience is based on courses taught at more than ten universities in general economics and agricultural economics. Part I of the book lays the theoretical foundations for understanding price formation in product and factor markets. In addition to neoclassical theory, institutional economics is of particular importance. Part II presents and evaluates agricultural policy with special reference to the EU, whereby the evaluation framework goes beyond the usual welfare theory analysis. The book is also a valuable aid for students of economic policy, especially because of its detailed evaluation of individual agricultural market policy instruments. The book is aimed at students at universities, technical colleges as well as politicians interested in rational agricultural policy making.

Transforming Food Systems for a Rising India
Author: Prabhu Pingali
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030144097
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.
