The Agricultural Economy of Northeast Brazil
Author: Gary P. Kutcher
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
The Northeast problem is one of massive economic and social disparity, compounded by an apparent intractability. This study focuses on the agricultural sector. Formulation of agricultural policy has been difficult and disappointing to a large degree as a result of the diversity in farming systems and in production and marketing patterns. Therefore, the study identifies seven distinct physiographic zones. It distinguishes different groups in the agricultural labor force according to tenurial arrangements that affect their access to land. Discussion of agricultural production leads to the suggestion that the product mix, which is inferior and locally consumed, contributes to the region's stagnation. Farm incomes are highly skewed, depending partly on farm size and partly on location. It appears that the large farm sector is not using resources efficiently. Labor is perhaps the only factor for which markets, delivery systems, and mobility are sufficient to balance demand and supply. A linear programming model provides a consistent quantitative framework within which to identify the factors constraining development and to simulate effects of policy interventions. Land reform emerges as the most likely prerequisite for solving the Northeast problem.

OECD Review of Agricultural Policies OECD Review of Agricultural Policies: Brazil 2005
Author: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Publisher: OECD
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
This publication examines Brazil's agricultural sector, including policy challenges and economic reforms, support measures and the effectiveness of current measures. Findings include that Brazil provides much lower level of support to its agricultural sector than most OECD countries, a large and increasing share of which is provided through credit subsidies. This support could be more productively oriented to areas such as research and extension, training, and the development of rural infrastructure, in order to help sustain improvements in international competitiveness, and at the same time draw poor smallholders into the development process.
