Abstract

Global wheat consumption in the 2016/2017 season is forecasted to reach a record high 736m tonnes, showing a growth of 25% in the last 15 years. This raises the question which outlets the wheat is going into, what the growth of these outlets is, which regions or countries have grown the most, and where do we see future potential. Strong competition of other feed grains like corn is expected to slow the growth of wheat used for feed in the next years, and in the future, companies involved in the grain supply chain and feeding industry will need to be flexible enough to continue to meet this fast-changing demand for feed grains. For feed producers, this means they need to be able to access supplies of different grains from different origins to allow for the cheapest composition of their feed, while grain suppliers need to be able to continuously best engage with global trading opportunities to originate grains in various regions and move them to demand regions as cost-effectively as possible.

Abstract

La création de l’Office national interprofessionnel du blé (ONIB) par le gouvernement du Front populaire à l’été 1936 est l’accomplissement d’un élément du programme socialiste, mais il est surtout une réponse à la grave crise du marché du blé qui frappe le pays. Cette crise agricole de surproduction à l’échelle mondiale entraîne en France, malgré la mobilisation parlementaire, des réponses politiques longtemps tâtonnantes, qui ne parviennent pas à lutter contre les fraudes et les scandales provoqués par la spéculation. Ainsi la loi sur le prix minimum de l’été 1933 est un échec tant les intérêts des producteurs, des consommateurs et des différents intermédiaires sont en contradiction. La création de l’ONIB est difficile et témoigne aussi de ces oppositions. L’Office est modifié dans son fonctionnement dès 1938 pour faire face aux enjeux financiers. Transformé en Office national interprofessionnel des céréales (ONIC), l’Office est maintenu sous l’Occupation puis à la Libération pour faire face aux difficultés du ravitaillement. Fondée sur des archives diverses et méconnues, cette étude se veut une illustration de l’entremêlement de l’histoire économique et de l’histoire sociale avec l’histoire politique. Elle permet aussi de revenir aux sources des mécanismes de régulation des marchés agricoles qui ont été très influents dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle et en particulier pour la politique agricole commune (PAC).

Abstract

Ce fut le grand exploit et la fierté des Empereurs romains que d’avoir fondé l’approvisionnement de Rome sur des bases nouvelles et plus sûres. Pour expliquer leur succès, il ne faut certes négliger ni l’acquisition d’importantes nouvelles sources d’approvisionnement (l’Egypte), ni l’amélioration des moyens de transport et de stockage, ainsi que des installations portuaires, ni les progrès de l’administration (le préfet de l’annone). Mais la concentration des armées aux frontières et leur relative indépendance économique constituent un autre élément d’explication. Tout au long du Principat, l'armée régulière, dans l’ensemble, resta éloignée de Rome. Les deux groupes de consommateurs les plus importants de l’Empire n’étaient pas en concurrence. Leurs systèmes d’approvisionnement étaient séparés et distincts ; chaque concentration importante de soldats, aux avant-postes de l’Empire, se trouvait au centre d’une économie administrative et militaire relativement autonome.

Abstract

This paper uses a partial equilibrium framework to evaluate the relative efficiency, distributional and revenue implications of rice tariffs and targeted transfers in Madagascar, especially in the context of identifying their respective roles for poverty alleviation. Although there are likely to be substantial efficiency gains from tariff reductions, these accrue mainly to higher income households. In addition, poor net rice sellers will lose from lower tariffs. Developing a system of well designed and implemented targeted direct transfers to poor households is thus likely to be a substantially more costeffective approach to poverty alleviation. Such an approach should be financed by switching revenue raising from rice tariffs to more efficient tax instruments. These policy conclusions are likely to be robust to the incorporation of general equilibrium considerations.
