DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Focusing on issues of high-value agriculture in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, this economic study analyzes five value-chains: off-seasonal vegetables (tomato), temperate fruits (apple), vegetables (potato), organic crops, and herbal plants. Using detailed graphs, charts, statistics, and images, this study focuses on the presence of a high number of endemic crops, diversity in agro-climatic conditions, possibilities to produce for off-season markets, organic production practices, the relative high education of producers, a strong agricultural research capacity, and an active civil society. The challenges that limit the competitiveness of its farmers with farmers in other Indian states and outside of India are also addressed. Written for agricultural professionals, economists, and researchers, this record offers advice on how Uttarakhand can better prepare itself to take advantage of the changing agricultural marketing environment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book extends the discussion of world food problems by giving explicit recognition to the potential role of markets. The authors highlight the contribution of prices to the solution of food problems in low-income countries, for example, by providing adequate incentives to farmers to expand production, assuring that food supplies can be obtained through trade when needed and giving appropriate signals to consumers. They also document the negative effects on food supply and national welfare of the actual price policies of many Third World governments. While recognizing the problems involved in defining and measuring hunger, as well as in improving the food supply, the authors consider the outlook for future food availability as favorable in terms of continued modest improvement in per capita food supplies at prices, adjusted for inflation, that are likely to continue the slow decline of recent decades. One focus of their comments is the positive roles that governments can and should play in the world food economy, especially in support of research, creation of human capital, and provision of appropriate rural infrastructure.
