Asymmetry in farm-to-retail dry bean price transmission in Sāo Paulo, Brazil

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to verify the existence of asymmetric price transmission in the farm, wholesale and retail dry bean market in Sāo Paulo, Brazil. The dry bean market is characterised by high price volatility, mainly due to harmful interference from informal actors. Consequently, the prices being practiced at different chain levels have asymmetric transmission, which can be explained by failures in coordination, opportunistic behaviour of farmers and intermediaries, and the asymmetry of informatio… Show more

“…Therefore, several factors such as production seasonality, natural shocks, bargaining power, and responsive capability to price changes have been identified as the main causes of price volatility in agricultural commodity markets (Akpan et al, 2014). Price insecurity and external influences by unofficial actors are also responsible for the price variation (Da Cunha and Wander, 2014).…”

“…As it is also applicable to other agricultural goods, beans' price tends to come down during harvesting periods as there is a glut of beans in the market but goes up during the offseason. Many intermediaries within the beans' value chain hamper the price symmetry between producers and consumers in the market (Da Cunha and Wander 2014). All these calls for an urgent need to tackle the disparity in bean prices between urban and rural markets in producing areas and consuming Nigeria regions.…”

“…The objective of this study is to evaluate the integration and price transmission of arabica coffee, traded on ICE Futures US in New York, to the producing regions of arabica coffee in the states of São Paulo (Mogiana and Paulista), Paraná (Northeast) and Minas Gerais (Cerrado and South). In order to analyze the asymmetric price transmission between international coffee prices and Brazilian markets, the rule model for the diesel fuel market in Brazil, was the one described by Canedo-Pinheiro (2012), and for the dry bean market in the state of Sao Paulo, the model used by Cunha and Wander (2014). The findings confirm the presence of integration between the price series in the regions studied and the prices of ICE Futures US in both short and long term.…”

“…Our results show that dairy and pork prices in the retail market respond quickly to farm prices increasing rather than prices decreasing. As in the case of da Cunha and Wander (2014), this reaction of retail prices is more intense in the case of increase farm prices. Our results corroborate Awokuse and Wang (2009) findings evidence of asymmetric price transmission in the dairy sector in the United States.…”
