“…Klootwijk et al [17] add that quota abolition led to an increase in the number of cows, and in farm intensity in terms of milk per hectare, by about 4% on Dutch farms. Oudendag et al [18] expect a small increase in large dairy farms in the Netherlands. The limiting factor for future increases is the phosphate quota, which is comparable to the dairy quota [4,17,19].…”

“…Even before the cancelation dairy quota abolishment had attracted the attention of many studies, many of them were focused just on the situations in one or two countries. It can be said that some authors predicted an increase in milk supply together with decreasing prices for producers [18,35] as well as increasing competitiveness both within states [14] and globally [36]. The dairy sector was expected to be more dynamic than before the quota elimination [37], with a strong increase in intensity for the largest farms [1,20] with ultimately a slightly positive welfare effect [38].…”

Productivity and Efficiency in European Milk Production: Can We Observe the Effects of Abolishing Milk Quotas?

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The study aims to explore the sources of competitiveness of dairy producers before and after the abolition of milk quotas in selected EU member states. The investigation is based on the stochastic frontier modelling of an input distance function in the specification of the four-error-component model. The model is estimated with a multistep procedure employing the generalized method of moments estimator, addressing the potential endogeneity of netputs, and panel data gained from the FADN database. The results revealed that total factor productivity experienced an increasing trend in the majority of the analysed countries. Since the main driver of productivity growth was found to be the scale effect, our findings support the hypothesis that abolishing milk quotas has a positive effect.

“…Multi-agent-based modeling and simulation have been applied in previous studies to study and develop optimal strategies (Ghazali et al, 2018;Oudendag et al, 2014)To date, multi-agent-based modeling and simulations have been applied to several studies on the development of dairy farming with multiple applications found in smallholders with a focus on feeding, rangeland management, and adaptation to strategies and policies (Fust & Schlecht, 2018;Mack & Huber, 2017;Schilling et al, 2012). To our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to develop peer-to-peer farm practice learning for milk yield improvement for SDF using an agent-based modeling and simulation approach (Nyambo et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to determine the pattern of oil palm marketing channels, the number of costs and marketing margins obtained by each marketing agency, as well as the efficiency of oil palm marketing channels. The respondents were 34 information, consisting of 30 oil palm farmers and traders collecting oil palm FFB in Tommo District. Marketing of oil palm FFB is carried out using the snowball sampling method. The results of this study indicate that there are three marketing channels formed. Namely: Marketing channel I, namely Farmers sell directly to palm oil mills, Marketing channel II, namely sales through farmer groups then sold to palm oil mills, Marketing Channel III, namely Farmers selling to collector traders then sold to palm oil mills, highest marketing costs is in the channel I. The costs incurred in this marketing channel are transportation costs of Rp. 11.36/Kg of FFB, labor costs of Rp. 21.88/Kg of FFB, retribution costs of Rp. 7.71/Kg of FFB. Marketing Channel shows that marketing channel I is an efficient channel. With a margin value of 4.07 percent and a farmer's share of 95.92 percent, the production volume is 32.78 tons or 24.45 percent. Farmer share for the selling price of FFB is the highest farmer share because farmers directly sell their harvest to the factory.

“…The recent abolition of the milk quota and the effects on farmers’ investment decisions also warrant further investigation. Since the Dutch dairy sector is a major player in the world market for milk and dairy products, the dairy quota deregulation may lead to expansion of dairy production to meet the growing global demand (Oudendag et al ., ; NZO, ). Some expansion of milk production has already been observed in the years immediately prior to milk quota abolition (NZO, ).…”

We identify farms' optimal investment path in capital assets and compare it with their actual investment to assess the direction and extent of deviation from the optimal investment. A probit model is further used to investigate the determinants of the probability that a farmer over-or under-invests in capital assets. We use a panel dataset of Dutch dairy farms over the period 2003-2013, and find that most farms under-invest in capital assets during the study period. Although the number of farms that had over-invested in capital assets is relatively small, these farms account for the biggest share of total investment in capital assets. The probit results show that liquidity, agricultural support payments, age, land tenure and standard output size are important variables explaining the likelihood of over-and under-investment.
