“…Record harvests in wheat, maize, and rice, increasing availability of supplies, and stronger global stocks have continued to drive down prices (World Bank Group, 2014). Poverty reduction through agricultural technology and improved market access was necessary condition for sustainable rural development (Saint‐Macary et al, 2013). The agricultural productivity variables all have significant effects on all the poverty and nutrition measures.…”

Prices can distress small and marginal farmers adversely by affecting their farm returns and affordability in agriculture. Price, a competitive weapon, helps to exploit opportunities and decides the profit of all business in the market. This study is a domestic and foreign market‐based research study. The study period is from 1990–91 to 2017–18. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR), instability index, Terms of Trade (TOT), price elasticity, and regression analysis were employed to estimate the results of the study. The study found that the area and production of cereals, pulses, and oilseeds have been increasing except sorghum, groundnut, and sunflower since 1990–91 to 2017–18. TOT was favored for Indian wheat, sorghum, gram, groundnut, soybean, and sunflower with other nations. Export quantity of rice, groundnut, and sunflower; export price of rice and sunflower; import quantity of arhar; and import price of sorghum were found to be stable. The rice, wheat, gram, groundnut, soybean, and sunflower export price elasticities were marginally greater than their imports. In case of agricultural commodities, area would be increased by increasing minimum support price (MSP) of arhar and moong; domestic price of sunflower; export price of groundnut and sunflower; and import price of sunflower and soybean. But the same was increased by decreasing the MSP of soybean; sorghum export price; and domestic price and import price of groundnut. Production was increased by increasing MSP of rice, wheat, maize, arhar, and moong; export and import quantity of gram; export price of wheat and soybean; and import price of sunflower and soybean. But the same was increased by decreasing the MSP of sunflower and export price of sorghum. Total agricultural exports were increased by increasing the rice, wheat, maize, moong, and soybean production; export quantity of gram and sunflower; export price of rice, sorghum, gram, groundnut, sunflower, and soybean; and trade balance of sunflower. The same was increased by lessening the sorghum and sunflower production; export quantity of arhar and groundnut; and trade balance of arhar and groundnut. Total agricultural imports increased by increasing the rice, wheat, maize, arhar, moong, and soybean production; import quantity of gram, sunflower, and soybean; import price of gram and moong; and trade balance of rice, gram, groundnut, sunflower, and soybean. The same was reduced by reducing the sunflower production. Poverty would be reduced by increasing the rice, wheat, maize, gram, and soybean production; export price of rice, sorghum, gram, sunflower, and soybean; and trade balance of sunflower and soybean. The same was reduced by decreasing the sunflower production and trade balance of maize, sorghum, and arhar. Inflation would be increased by increasing the production of gram; export price of rice, wheat, moong, and groundnut; import price of arhar; and trade balance of gram and also by reducing the maize production and MSP of rice, gram, and groundnut. Consumer price general index would b...

“…In Vietnam, studies on maize focus on agricultural economic development and its influence on local living conditions, such as the economic efficiency of maize conversion from traditional crops (Minot et al 2006); the negative impacts of maize on local communities (Kyeyune and Turner 2016); the relationship between maize area expansion and natural resource utilization (Saint-Macary et al 2013); strategies and policies to promote maize commerce at the HH level for sustainable development (Zeller et al 2013); and the impacts of economic development based on maize mono-cultivation on soil characteristics (Schreinemachers et al 2013). Previous studies have not unpacked the annually alternating maize seed cultivation regime.…”

Maize is the most important cash crop in Vietnam's northern mountainous region. It is credited with eradicating hunger and alleviating poverty. However, the continuous decreasing trend in the global maize price since 2013 has resulted in various socioeconomic problems. Yen Chau district follows a cultivation regime of annually changing maize varieties. This goes against the objectives of national test procedures for new seed. This study aimed to establish whether the annually changing seed cultivation regime is the consequence of the fierce competition between seed enterprises. We found that the maize trading structure is centered on a three-level trader network that plays a crucial role in connecting stakeholders. Strong social relationships along with weak credit/production commitments between farmers and traders have facilitated maize production throughout the region. Seed and supply enterprises target traders to promote their products and are the most important information channel for farmers. This study's findings suggest that seed selection in Yen Chau has no scientific basis but is the result of market factors.
