Agricultural exports, food production, and food security in
Latin America. Gacitua, E.A.; Bello, R.

impact; Time series; Economic growth; Income
Abstract: This study assesses the impact of agricultural,
export-oriented policies on food consumption through a time-
series, cross-sectional regression model. The results of this
study lead to three basic conclusions. First, there is a
significant negative relationship between agricultural export
promotion and food consumption. Economic growth and increasing
agricultural exports earnings do not necessarily increase food
security. Second, protein consumption per capita constitutes a
more sensitive indicator of changes in food consumption and a
proxy for the distributional dimension of the food consumption
problem. Third, alternative policies should incorporate
agricultural export into a broader agroindustrial
developmental strategy aimed at achieving food security both
by increasing income and by food production.

Abstract: Agricultural growth stimulates rural nonfarm
activity by boosting demand for production inputs and consumer
goods. But different kinds of agriculturaltechnology promote
different patterns of nonfarm linkages. To explore how key
features of agricultural technology affect growth in the rural
nonfarm economy, this paper reviews an array ofcross-section
and time-series evidence bearing on the dynamics of the rural
nonfarm economy. Then, using consumption and production
parameters associated with different agricultural
technologies,it introduces a simple model which isolates the
effects of different technologies on nonfarm growthlinkages.

development; Economic policy; Government; History
Abstract: Argentina showed impressive economic growth from
1860 to 1930. During this period Argentina outgrew countries
with similar resource endowments such as Australia, Brazil,
Canada and the USA. The country's early development strategy
was predominantly outward oriented. Since the 1930s Argentina
had lagged behind its competitors. Stagnation has been
especially severe in agriculture. This article argues that
government policies (trade, macroeconomic and income policies)
which resulted in distorted economic incentives and caused
inefficient resource allocation have been the main reasons for
Argentina's poor economic performance in recent decades.

macroeconomic and trade policy, and agricultural incentives
and growth in Latin America. Selected papers presented at the
conference are assembled in this special issue of Food Policy
in abbreviated form. An overview of these papers is given in
this introduction, and the linkages between unsustainable
levels of government spending and industrial protection on the
one hand, and agricultural incentives on the other, are
outlined.

Abstract: This report empirically examines the role which
capital accumulation plays in the growth of agricultural
production potential. The report assumes that the degree to
which available technology can be implemented in a nation's
agricultural sector depends on accumulated investments that
have been made in the sector. Results from estimating
aggregate agricultural production functions show the primary
importance of rural labor in accounting for agricultural GDP
and crop production. Capital accumulation is the dominant
explainer of livestock production. Estimation results support
the conjecture that capital tends to save scarce land
resources (substitute relationship) and use rural labor
(complementarity relationship). Output supply elasticities
derived from the estimated equations tend to be large. The
large elasticities imply that price distortions have had large
impacts on resource use and production.

Abstract: Discrimination on the basis of race, religion, or
ethnicity appears to exist in many societies throughout the
world. That subordinate ethnic groups have worse jobs and
lower incomes is incontrovertible. But discovering whether
these differences are created by discrimination rather than by
the natural working of economic forces is difficult and has
produced a major literature on ethnic differences in
industrial societies. Little is known however, about the less-
developed, predominantly rural societies that still constitute
most of the world's population. This paper uses data from a
large, representative sample survey to examine the source of
inequalities in a society where ethnic differences loom as
large as anywhere in the world, rural Bolivia. The great
inequalities between Indians and Spaniards--far greater than
differences between blacks and whites in the United States--
were originally ethnic. But now educational differences are
rooted entirely in class differences, not ethnicity: Indian
and Spanish sons born into comparable families get the same
amount of schooling. Different factors influence occupational
success for the two groups; for Indians, the father's
occupation is crucial, whereas for Spaniards, education is
crucial. But despite this dual labor market, occupational
differences are rooted in class, not ethnicity. So are
differences in standard of living. Before the revolution of
1952, Spanish sons had a small advantage thatcould not be
explained by class; after the revolution, Indian sons had a
slight advantage; but throughout recent history, class has
dominated. These results suggest five general hypotheses about
the links between economic development, political power, and
exploitation.

Abstract: The Uruguay Round of multilateral trade
negotiations is viewed by many as an historic opportunity to
reform agricultural policies and liberalize agricultural
trade. This paper analyzes the implications of assumptions
about the effectiveness of acreage reduction programs, fixity
of farm assets, and decoupling on trade liberalization results
for U.S. grains and cotton. The range of outcomes for various
slippage specifications is not very wide. More significant
changes come from varying model supply elasticities that
reflect the degree to which agricultural resources are not
transferable to other sectors of the economy. Also, the degree
to which deficiency payments are decoupled from production
implies trade liberalization outcomes more favorable for the
United States.

Abstract: A major objective of the Food Security Act of 1985
was to make the United States more competitive in world
markets. U.S. wheat exports in 1987/88 were 75 percent above
their 1985/86 level. This paper analyzes the change in U.S.
competitiveness in wheat exports by quantitatively assessing
those factors responsible for this export expansion. The
results indicate that about half of the increase can be
attributed to the provisions of the 1985 Act. About 40 percent
of the increase is due to nonprice factors in the Soviet Union
and China--namely production shortfalls and domestic policies-
-that increased import demand. The rest is due to reduced
competitor yields.

Abstract: The economic growth of Ecuador's agricultural
sector relative to the rest of the economy over the last two
decades is analysed, with special emphasis given to the
economic adjustment of the 1980s. While exogenous shocks to
the sector from changes in the weather and world prices had
significant short-term impacts, they cannot explain the long-
term performance of Ecuadorean agriculture. The key to
understanding long-term sectoral growth trends is the policy
matrix implemented by the Ecuadorean government and its impact
on production incentives. This article examines the extent to
which the performance of the agricultural sector was a
predictable consequence of macroeconomic policy.

Abstract: Extract: Events in Chile show that it is possible
to intervene effectively in the fields of health, nutrition,
education and sanitation, and achieve substantial progress
even though underdevelopment and poverty have not yet
disappeared. It is necessary to set up a basic infrastructure
in order to provide extensive and appropriate coverage. This
contradicts the claims of economists who believe that progress
in the above fields can only be achieved through a substantial
degree of sustained economic development. This is of great
importance because it provides a way of breaking the vicious
circle of underdevelopment-malnutrition-underdevelopment. It
is essential to preserve human resources. Only in this way can
development become possible. What has been achieved in Chile
has been possible as a result of continuity of programmes,
despite changes of government. Results need time; events in
Chile show that it is the outcome of at least three decades of
continuous effort. Taken together, the measures, programmes
and intervention activities have been able to reduce the
adverse effects of periodic economic crisis. Lastly, it must
be recognized that an important part has been played by the
University of Chile. Essentially, it has been the University
centres that have diagnosed the situation and helped to
develop a sense of national awareness. Their research has
provided a basis for the planning and implementation of forms
of intervention. They have also permitted continuous
evaluation and constant counseling at decision-making levels.
The training of appropriately qualified professionals with a
deep sense of social purpose has also been essential. It is
they who in actual fact have provided continuity of action
despite changes in economic policy during the period. The
progress achieved can, most certainly, serve as a model to
many countries in the region if they accomplish each of the
stages outlined.(author)

Abstract: A referencee text for professionals involved in
supplemental feeding programs and food and nutrition policy in
developing countries reports the results of 4 major nutrition
projects (Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia, India) carried out in
collaboration with the World Bank, and discusses over 50
nutrition components that have been incorporated into the
design of agricultural, urban development, and health
projects. It is concluded that, while malnutrition is
associated with the status of a country's economic
development, major, cost-effective nutritional interventions
can be effected prior to major economic advancement through
thoughtful allocation of food subsidies and nutrition
education to those at greatest nutritional risk. Nutrition
research and analyses supported and conducted by the World
Bank also are discussed.

Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which exchange
rate and tariff changes are passed through in U.S. import
prices of unmanufactured tobacco from Brazil. The model used
considers the possibility of market imperfections in
international trade and the potential effects of strategic
trade policies. The results indicate that agricultural prices
may not be as flexible as commonly thought. Furthermore,
exchange rate and tariff changes are not fully passed through
to U.S. tobacco import prices, which indicates that firms
selling Brazilian tobacco may use trade strategies to maintain
or even increase their trade shares in the U.S. tobacco
market.

Abstract: This article examines the effects of changes in
policies concerning exchange rates and consumer subsidies on
relative prices of staple foods in selected Latin American
countries. In countries where previously high subsidies on
imported foods were reduced sharply or eliminated during the
1980s, prices of imported tradables have risen relative to
prices of domestically produced foods. Elsewhere the impact of
structural adjustment programmes has not been very clear, and
more in-depth research is needed.

Abstract: This paper examines changes over a 21 year period
in an area in highland Bolivia in order to show how people and
their activities have changed and the extent to which these
changes imply a restructuring of such areas that is similar to
what is taking place in the First World. It will be suggested
that these changes are a response to increasing commercial
opportunities and new needs, in part related to the
liberalisation of social and economic life in the post-
agrarian reform period. As populations engage in a greater
variety of forms of work in different locations in order to
get by so their use of rural areas changes.

where external debt is rapidly increasing. The central purpose
of this paper is to explore to what extent external debt is
having on LDC wheat imports. A model, which allows for
increasing government intervention as the capacity to import
decreases, was tested using time series data (1970-1985) for
six wheat importing nations.

if reform results in higher world commodity prices, lower
government stock levels and weaker incentives for food aid
supplies. This paper elaborates a set of international
policies in support of food security that would be consistent
with GATT's main objective of reducing interference by
national policies in the free flow of goods. This set includes
commitments to maintain global food stocks and food aid,
disciplines for stockbuilding and food aid distribution, and
support for certain programmes aimed at reducing instability
of food production and supply. While a guarantee of food
security is beyond GATT control - and depends ultimately on
sustained economic development - there are food security
enhancing mechanisms that the GATT can support without
encouraging new trade distortions.

Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources diverts NAL's resources and diminishes its ability to serve as a national source for agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL is viewed as a library of last resort. Submit requests first to local or state library sources prior to sending to NAL. In the United States, possible sources are public libraries, land-grant university or other large research libraries within a state. In other countries submit requests through major university, national, or provincial institutions.
