TL;DR: Data from food security and nutrition surveillance project (FSNSP), which collects information from a nationally representative sample in Bangladesh on coping behaviors associated with household food insecurity, shows that households suffering from moderate and severe food insecurity are more likely to adopt both financial and food compromisation coping strategies.

Rising global food prices and price variability: A blessing or a curse for global food supply?

TL;DR: In this article, the response of global aggregate acreage of selected crops to international prices and price variability is examined, and the results reveal that rising own crop prices spur an increase in the worldwide aggregate acreages of these crops, whereas higher competing crop prices have the opposite effect.

Abstract: This study examines the response of global aggregate acreage of selected crops to international prices and price variability. Applying up-to-date panel data econometric techniques, the study addresses whether the recent rise in international food prices is a blessing or a curse to the global supply of four key staple crops: wheat, corn, soybeans, and rice. The results reveal that rising own crop prices spur an increase in the worldwide aggregate acreage of these crops, whereas higher competing crop prices have the opposite effect. These results are robust across different types of panel data econometric estimators as well as the use of either future or spot prices. Our preferred acreage supply model specification further shows that fluctuations of own crop prices have a statistically significant negative (positive) effect on acreages of wheat (soybeans), but insignificant effects on acreages of corn and rice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate global supply response for key agricultural commodities and reveal that while higher output prices are incentives to improve global crop supply, output price volatility plays otherwise, implying that farmers shift land, other inputs and yield improving investments away to crops with less volatile prices.

Abstract: This article estimates global supply response for key agricultural commodities. The findings reveal that, while higher output prices are incentives to improve global crop supply, output price volatility plays otherwise. Depending on respective crop, the results indicate that own price supply elasticities range from about 0.05 to 0.35. The findings suggest that output price-risk has negative correlations with crop supply, implying that farmers shift land, other inputs and yield improving investments away to crops with less volatile prices. The recent output price volatility seems to significantly reduce production of wheat and – to a lesser extent – rice.

...Using panel data for the period 1970/1971 to 2004/2005 across the states of India, Mythili (2008) estimates short and long-run supply elasticities for a set of crops in the country. Panel econometric estimation based on a pooled cross-sectional data over this period shows that Indian farmers respond to price incentives in the form of both acreage expansion and yield improvement. The study also indicates that acreage adjustment to desired levels is slow in India. Another recent study by Kanwar & Sadoulet (2008) has also applied a variant of the Nerlovian model to estimate output response of cash crops in India using panel data for the period 1967/1968 to 1999/2000 across 14 states in the country. They also apply dynamic panel estimation techniques using expected profit instead of expected prices and find that expected profit has statistically significant positive impact on five out of seven cash crop acreages. A recent study by Yu et al. (2012) has applied similar framework to estimate the acreage and yield response of different winter and summer season crops for the province of Henan in China. Using data from 108 counties in the province for the period 1998-2007, the study found variable responses to output prices of acreage and yield across crops. Similar recent empirical applications in Asia include supply response estimations by Yu & Fan (2011) for rice production in Cambodia, Mostofa et al....

Abstract: This study investigates the responsiveness of global cropland to changes in output prices and the uncertainty therein. The study provides a global short- and long-term acreage and yield elasticity which hints at how major agricultural commodity producers respond to the recent high food prices and volatility. Using cross-country panel data for the period 1961-2010, this paper investigates the global supply impacts of output prices and their volatility. Besides providing updated estimates of supply responses to own and competing price expectations, it also estimates growth trends that are informative to policy in understanding the likely extensive and intensive margin changes because of crop price changes. Estimation of acreage response to input and output prices as well as output price volatilities is a necessary step but not sufficient to predict the global food supply effect of possible developments in output prices and their volatility. In addition to the acreage allocation response that agricultural producers make towards price changes, they also react to expected changes in terms of yield response. While acreage as well as yield responses to own output prices are positive, the response towards output price volatilities is modest. Thus, besides via acreage changes, the global food supply response to expected prices comes from yield changes, both affecting global food supply and food security.
