Gross margin prospects for harvest 2018-the Brexit CropsMD SALMAN ANJUM
Group 3 soft wheat and winter oilseed rape look promising for 2018 crops due to relatively strong gross margins. Barley outside of malting contracts is a concern due to lower projected profits. The end of the 2018 crop may be marketed in a post-Brexit world, which could impact prices depending on any EU tariffs imposed on UK exports. Higher oilseed rape yields and oil content can improve gross margins and help offset lower cereal crop profits if tariffs are implemented.

FUNDAMENTALS have tipped further in favour of the grain and feed consumer since our April review as an ever loosening new crop supply outlook promises an extended period of cost restraint. Until recently, the popular view among analysts had been for an inevitable decline in crop yields from last year’s above normal levels and, in several key supplier countries, some cutback in sowings in response to this season’s grain surpluses and low prices. But it was also assumed the massive stocks carried over from the current season of plenty would cushion the forward market against the crop decline – so no reason for any drastic price increases.

This document summarizes a study examining the financial vulnerability of Midwest grain farms under various price, yield, cost, and asset value shocks. The study constructs illustrative farms of different sizes, land ownership percentages, and debt levels to model their financial performance. Key findings include: 1) Smaller farms and those renting a large percentage of land are very vulnerable to shocks. 2) Larger farms with modest debt that own and rent land have strong financial performance and limited vulnerability. 3) These farms can increase debt moderately with minimal financial impact. The study aims to better understand farm resilience compared to the financial crisis of the 1980s.

A Review of Bank Loans to Farmers: Implications for Agricultural Diversificat...CrimsonpublishersMCDA
This document reviews bank loans to farmers and their implications for agricultural diversification in Nigeria. It finds that loans to farmers carry more risks than other business loans due to unfavorable cost-price relationships in agriculture and the difficulty of obtaining farm operation information. It also finds that commercial banks consider factors like a farmer's ability to manage operations and generate positive cash flow. The document recommends that the government and banks take actions to address risk factors and information problems, ensure banks have well-trained farm representatives, focus on loans that meet standards, and help farmers improve soil productivity and cash flows. The overall aim is to enhance agricultural productivity and diversification in Nigeria.

Agricultural Credit and Farm Output of Cooperative Members in Anambra State, ...ijtsrd
This study examined the effect of agricultural credit on farm output of members of selected cooperative societies in Anambra State Nigeria. Data was collected from 260 cooperative farmers from 10 cooperative societies in Anambra East LGA in Anambra State. Also 260 non cooperative farmers were equally selected to act as control group Descriptive and inferential were applied to collected data. Evidence from the study showed that cooperative members had more access to agricultural credit than non members. Furthermore, results from the regression analysis showed that farm size, farm inputs, credit and access to cooperative credit were positive and important determinants of farm output. The implication of the significance of access to cooperative credit is a confirmation of the primacy of cooperative as a source of credit to rural farmers. Indeed, significance of use of credit and access to cooperative credit equally confirms the main thrust of Vroom's expectancy theory that a particular course of action is chosen based upon perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs of a positive return.

Farmers' Suicide: Through the lens of an economistAvipshaSengupta1
This document is a dissertation paper written by Avipsha Sengupta analyzing farmer suicides in India through an economic lens. It provides background on the high rate of farmer suicides in India in recent decades, with one farmer committing suicide every 32 minutes between 1997-2005. It then reviews literature on the topic and analyzes various economic reasons behind the epidemic of farmer suicides, such as indebtedness, impact of economic liberalization, climate conditions, small landholdings, and more. It also provides statistical analysis of suicide rates compared to crop yields and focuses on the state of Maharashtra and Vidarbha region as an epicenter of farmer suicides.
The document summarizes several key agricultural problems facing India:
- India has low crop yields for many commodities compared to other countries despite being a large producer, due to factors like reliance on rainfed agriculture and lack of infrastructure.
- The country's agricultural sector is heavily dependent on monsoons, leading to volatility in growth.
- India has a low share of global agricultural export markets compared to its production levels.
- Many Indian farmers face debt, financial distress, and some have even resorted to suicide due to issues like small land holdings and lack of income stability.
- Reforms are needed to boost productivity, support small farmers, and modernize agricultural practices.

Introducing BONKMILLON - The Most Bonkers Meme Coin Yet
Let's be real for a second – the world of meme coins can feel like a bit of a circus at times. Every other day, there's a new token promising to take you "to the moon" or offering some groundbreaking utility that'll change the game forever. But how many of them actually deliver on that hype?
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
