Impact of Farmer Field Schools on Agricultural Productivity and Poverty in East Africa


 Safeguard measures are used to limit excessive import growth and protect domestic producers from unfair import competition. The global safeguard investigation for blueberries highlights these concerns and raises questions about the relationship between imports, prices, and the well-being of U.S. producers. Although the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) ruled that imports have not caused serious injury to U.S. blueberry producers, it was important to further examine this issue. In this study, we employ an inverse demand model and dynamic Vector Autoregressive (VAR) procedure linking source-specific fresh blueberry imports from countries like Mexico and Chile to U.S. blueberry prices. Our results mostly support the USITC ruling. Results indicate that declines in U.S. prices are small when compared to the level of import growth. Impulse response functions indicate that import price shocks are not long lasting.

Safeguard measures and fresh produce trade: The case of US blueberry imports

The non-linear Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System is used in estimating the impact of exchange rates on source-differentiated import demand for beef in the USA. We estimate scale, own and cross-price flexibilities for six major beef suppliers and the rest of the world, incorporating exchange rates exogenously. Results indicate that beef imports from Canada and ROW were own-price flexible but, the remaining countries – Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Australia and New Zealand were own-price inflexible. Though exchange rate pass-through differs among sources, nearly all of the exporting countries had a near complete exchange rate pass-through. All own exchange-rate effects are negative and significant, except beef imported from Uruguay while nearly all cross exchange-rate effects are insignificant.

Source-differentiated analysis of exchange rate effects on US beef imports

Rising education, income, and Westernization has led to China’s emergence as a major player in global wine trade. In 2000, China ranked 51st in the world with just $4.9 million in bottled wine imports, making it significantly smaller than major importers such as the United Kingdom ($2.1 billion) and United States ($1.9 billion). By 2011, China's imports increased to $1.3 billion, making it the 5th largest bottled wine importer in the world.

The Rise of Foreign Wine Demand in China

A Descriptive Analysis of Selected Southeast Asia Countries That Import United States Dairy Products

Given the importance of EU demand for chilled fish fillets to the exporting sectors in Tanzania and Uganda, this study estimated the EUs import demand for fillets by country of origin to assess the competitiveness of exporters. Results imply that prices in Tanzania and Uganda had an insignificant impact on total imports expenditures in the EU. Conditional and unconditional cross-price effects indicated that exports from Lake Victoria did not compete with exports from other suppliers, such as Iceland, Norway and ROW. Import demand forecasts showed that market share in the EU should remain relatively unchanged given the trend in prices.
