“…This country’s economy is being liberalized to make it easier for foreign companies to enter. This will provide the best benefits from market globalization to consumers and farmers [ 132 ]. Brazil is predicted to overtake developed countries in the global food agribusiness market due to its high-quality resources and easy access to cheap labor and raw material [ 129 ].…”

The impacts of economic globalization on agricultural value added in developing countries

et al. 2021

Countries in the world have various indices for the implementation of economic globalization (EG). This refers to positive and negative impacts arising from its implementation, especially in agriculture. This sector is still a basic source of existence in developing countries. At the same time, these countries have been unable to optimize their agricultural value-added (AVA) and only earn a low level of income. That way, developing countries need to take advantage of EG to increase income from agricultural exports and farmers’ welfare. Other than that, there has been no study examining the impacts of EG on AVA in developing countries. So, this study intends to evaluate the impacts of the exchange rates, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, total agricultural export values, agricultural import duties, and fertilizer imports on AVA in developing countries. The panel data technique is used to assess its impact in 17 developing countries during 2006–2018. The study showed that FDI inflows and agricultural export values increase AVA in developing countries. In this study, EG positively impacts developing countries, but its implementation must pay attention to achieve sustainable development goals. We recommend developing countries focus on investments in human capital and technologies (or R&D), ensure foreign investors collaborate with local agricultural firms, increase agricultural exports, and create a conducive economic system

“…Based on the belief in market efficiency to regulate economic relations, agriculture ceased to be conceived of as a source of nutrition and livelihood, to be reduced to imperatives of profit maximisation, while food was assimilated to commodities. This has consolidated the vision of agriculture as agribusiness, which has inscribed the activity in mechanisms of capital accumulation and socio-environmental exclusion and exploitation (Ioris 2018).…”

“…Furthermore, supported by the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) global agricultural liberalisation project (Mc Michael 2012), this model has expanded rapidly in developed and mainly developing countries. The strong acceptance of the discourse that associates large-scale industrial agricultural production with efficiency, economic growth and hunger alleviation (Ioris 2018) proves that this model of agricultural production has become hegemonic. Despite growing questioning (Busscher et al 2020), the ideas that encourage the reconfiguration of agricultural structures in food-producing countries according to corporate interests enjoy broad social support.…”

The vigorous debate on global land grabbing within Critical Agrarian Studies contrasts with the incipient analyses from International Political Economy (IPE). This divergence has overshadowed the multi-scalar nature of the power relations that shape land governance, and consequently its effects on land grabbing. For this reason, this paper provides a critical theoretical model of land governance based on Robert Cox’s historical structures approach to understand the causes of land grabbing in Latin American countries. It is argued that this model renders visible the articulation of local and global processes driving land grabbing because it foregrounds the power relations at multiple scales that shape decisions on land access, use and control, as well as the conflicts inherent to them. This demonstrates that, on the one hand, land governance structures in Latin America play a hegemonic role since they express and develop the global agricultural model that promotes land grabbing. On the other hand, social resistance highlights that land governance simultaneously possesses a potential for change. As a result, knowledge about land grabbing is enhanced through a dialogue between the two fields of study.

The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of the interaction of the state and the agricultural business. It is shown that the intensification of cooperation of the state with the agrarian business contributes to the transformation of the agrarian structure, modernization of the agro-industrial complex. The specifics of interaction between the state and agricultural business are highlighted. The special importance of public-private partnership for solving urgent problems of the agro-industrial complex and rural territories was noted. The main directions of economic and social interaction between the state and agricultural business are presented. Positive examples of using cooperation between the state and agricultural entrepreneurship in the regions of Russia are discussed. The expediency of developing cooperation between agricultural consumer co-operatives and municipal authorities is justified.
