Indian agricultural prices are increasingly being decided by non-state actors, despite some public policies such as Minimum Support Prices, public procurement, etc.
This document summarizes a study on agricultural transformation and input policies in Myanmar. It finds that while poverty has declined, many regions still face rice self-sufficiency issues. Under socialist rule from 1962-1988, fertilizer was subsidized but agricultural development stagnated. Since 1988, liberalization led to rising fertilizer prices and inefficient distribution systems. The study uses a policy analysis matrix to show that input and output policies impose taxes on farmers, particularly for hybrid rice varieties. It recommends improving access to credit, inputs and developing Myanmar's seed and fertilizer industries to boost productivity and support smallholder farmers' food security and incomes.
The presentation tracks evolution of agricultural reforms in India over the last 300 years with especial emphasis on famines, PL-480 (ship to mouth situation), green revolution, agricultural market reforms, APMC markets, evolution of Food Corporation of India, Central Warehousing Corporation, State Trading Corporation (with big government), which undermined the development of private capital and markets over the years. Then it tracked the efforts of government in liberalising agricultural markets and pre-conditions for liberalisation.
The document summarizes discussions from a consultative meeting on promoting Indian agricultural exports. It outlines opportunities and challenges for Indian agri-exports. Key points include: India is a major exporter of some raw commodities but lags in value-added exports; there are market opportunities for Indian exports of fruits, vegetables, grains, meat and processed products; an Agriculture Export Policy aims to double Indian agri-exports by 2022; and greater involvement of state governments is needed to develop export clusters and infrastructure.
3 farm ordinances were issued on 5th June, 2020, and in September, 2020, became laws after introduction in Parliament as bills. These 3 bills together have cumulative impact on farmers, consumers and agricultural trade in India.
Food and agriculture various policies and WTO implicationsDevegowda S R
This document discusses issues related to food security and agriculture policies in India in the context of WTO implications. It notes that while India achieved self-sufficiency in food production, it has not solved the problem of chronic household food insecurity associated with poverty. The document outlines various government interventions for poverty alleviation and the public distribution system. It discusses the key aspects of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture such as market access, domestic support, and export subsidies. India's concerns with meeting international trade standards and potential future actions are also summarized.
The document discusses India's agricultural price policy. Key points:
- The policy aims to protect farmers and consumers by setting minimum support prices and managing buffer stocks. It seeks price stability and food security.
- Institutions like the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices and Food Corporation of India implement the policy through activities like MSP fixation and public distribution systems.
- The policy faces issues like limited coverage of crops, inadequate prices, and problems with the PDS system. Reforms aim to address these issues.

The document discusses India's new farm laws which aim to reform the agricultural sector. It provides context on the laws and the tensions they have caused. The key points are:
- India passed 3 laws to open up the agricultural sector to private investors, allow farmers to sell directly to buyers, and establish new market regulations.
- The government says this aims to boost farmer incomes and modernize agriculture. However, farmers protest that it will hurt their livelihoods and benefit large corporations.
- The laws represent a major economic reform but have been controversial due to the political power of farmers in India and concerns over the impact on small farmers.
The agriculture sector is the dominant sector of the Indian economy, providing livelihood for about 65% of the population. Some key points about Indian agriculture:
- It has grown significantly since the Green Revolution but faces challenges of small landholdings, inadequate irrigation, depleted soils, and lack of storage and financing.
- Government policies aim to achieve over 4% annual growth through private sector participation, insurance, market access, and infrastructure development.
- The sector faces population pressure, resulting in small fragmented landholdings, as well as problems of irrigation, soil depletion, storage, and farm equipment.
- Recent developments include increased government expenditure on agriculture and a target of Rs. 575,000 crore
This document discusses trends in high-value agriculture in India. It notes a shift from grains to higher-value commodities like fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat due to rising incomes, urbanization, and trade policies. Exports of high-value products like fruits and vegetables have grown significantly. Contract farming has allowed small farmers to access high-value domestic and export markets. Overall high-value agriculture provides opportunities for commercialization and income growth for smallholders through arrangements like contract farming. The document analyzes crop area and production data and makes recommendations to promote diversification and infrastructure to support high-value agriculture.

XP 2024 presentation: A New Look to Leadershipsamililja
Presentation slides from XP2024 conference, Bolzano IT. The slides describe a new view to leadership and combines it with anthro-complexity (aka cynefin).
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

9. Determinants of MSP
While recommending price policy of various commodities under its mandate,
the Commission keeps in mind the various Terms of Reference (ToR) given to
CACP in 2009. Accordingly, it analyzes
1) demand and supply;
2) cost of production;
3) price trends in the market, both domestic and international;
4) inter-crop price parity;
5) terms of trade between agriculture and non-agriculture;
6) a minimum of 50 percent as the margin over cost of production; and
7) likely implications of MSP on consumers of that product.
It may be noted that cost of production is an important factor that goes as an
input in determination of MSP, but it is certainly not the only factor that
determines MSP.
10. MSP Determinants
1. Cost of production
2. Changes in input prices
3. Input-output price parity
4. Trends in market prices
5. Demand and supply
6. Inter-crop price parity
7. Effect on industrial cost structure
8. Effect on cost of living
9. Effect on general price level
10. International price situation
11. Parity between prices paid and prices
received by the farmers.
