These fluctuations raise concerns about market response to price changes, especially regarding incentives for food production. This study investigates how the price dynamics in the Asian rice markets are affected by crises in low-quality rice by analysing monthly export price data for 25% broken rice for Vietnam, Thailand, India, and Pakistan. We test the rice price transmission and rice market integration of these countries using a vector autoregression (VAR) model. The results reveal a tendency for price signals to move together across our sample countries, despite variations in their rice production and consumption patterns. This suggests that rice price shocks are transmitted between Asian exporting countries, particularly for low-quality rice. Furthermore, our analysis suggests that price dynamics in these markets are primarily influenced by crises affecting domestic agro-food chains and government policies related to price and trade. To improve production incentives during crises, governments could promote competition among traders, wholesalers, and input providers, and support farmers' income through supply oriented policies, including input vouchers and agricultural credit. These policies can mitigate price and trade distortions that can negatively affect price incentives and food security.</p>","PeriodicalId":55427,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics","volume":"69 4","pages":"960-973"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8489.70045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145341724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The USDA does not have a process to recognise domestically produced honey as ‘USDA organic’. Thus, the consumer market for USDA organic-certified honey can only be accessed by foreign producers. To investigate the economic implications of this regulatory disharmony, we employ a choice experiment to assess the price premiums associated with organic certification for foreign honey imports. Our results indicate that disparate organic certification procedures generate a substantial premium for foreign producers—honey labelled as USDA organic receives a $7.13 price premium, relative to unlabelled honey. However, when respondents are aware that all organic-certified honey is imported from abroad, WTP for organic honey decreases by $1.32.

Their risk attitudes may not be constant at the individual level and might be influenced by information acquisition, a crucial determinant of agricultural decision-making associated with uncertainties. We study the relationship between farmers' general risk attitudes and information provision by examining the impact of a government-led soil health information provision programme on their risk attitudes, conducting field experiments and surveys in India. We analyse the collected data using both non-parametric inferential techniques, such as the Mann-Whitney and chi-squared tests, and parametric methods, including probit and negative binomial regressions. The result shows that the soil health information provision influences farmers to be risk-averse, possibly by enhancing their confidence in combatting land degradation, as it provides additional information and recommendations on soil health and fertiliser usage (dosages and types). We also find that the perception of farmland degradation encourages farmers to take risks, while climate change experiences make them more risk-averse, suggesting an adaptive shift in their risk attitudes aimed at minimising economic loss. Farmers' risk attitudes significantly influence long-term sustainability and short-term economic loss management in agriculture. Our findings suggest that static (e.g., soil health) and dynamic (e.g., farmland degradation with future consequences) information can be leveraged through information provision mechanisms to influence farmers' risk attitudes, helping to balance long-term sustainability with short-term economic outcomes in agriculture.</p>","PeriodicalId":55427,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics","volume":"69 4","pages":"874-891"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8489.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145341670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore agricultural market integration for paddy, wheat, chana, groundnut, onion, potato, and tomato across a large number of markets in India and find that markets are not fully integrated for any of these commodities. Prices converge into multiple but different numbers of clusters, indicating that the extent of integration is different across all commodities. Robustness checks show that the results are broadly on the same lines as time series methods. Based on the observed spatial patterns of price clusters, we explore the role of spatial dependence and locational factors on market integration. We find that location is an important driver and the likelihood of market integration is higher if the neighbouring district is also integrated, regardless of commodity characteristics. Additionally, we find that other variables like the number of markets, connectivity, transport, metalled roads and area under the crop significantly influence market integration.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55427,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics","volume":"69 4","pages":"934-946"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145341545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One contributing factor is the inefficiency of agricultural extension systems, which struggle to meet farmers' informational needs due to outdated content and ineffective communication. In this context, informal cooperation among farmers plays a crucial role in sharing agricultural knowledge. Focussing on Uzbekistan's irrigated areas, our study investigates the impact of farmers' participation in informal water management cooperation on the intensity of SAP adoption. Using pooled two-year survey data of 858 farmers, we employ the Marginal Treatment Effects model to account for potential selection bias and heterogeneity across farmers. The results indicate that participation in informal cooperation positively influences SAP adoption intensity, particularly among farmers with larger land holdings and better soil quality. Moreover, farmers already inclined to participate in informal cooperation benefit the most in terms of increased intensity of SAP adoption. Our findings suggest that promoting community-managed irrigation can be an effective strategy to enhance SAP adoption in Uzbekistan. However, the effects of informal cooperation are not uniform across all farmers, necessitating differentiated support mechanisms that address the specific needs, challenges and unobservable characteristics of various farmer groups.</p>","PeriodicalId":55427,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics","volume":"69 4","pages":"820-835"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8489.70036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145341556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilising postcode-level climate risk data—including for cyclones, floods, heatwaves, water stress, and wildfires—and data from the 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021 censuses, we examine the susceptibility of Australia's stock to such hazards. Our investigation focuses on three main questions. First, we try to understand how the exposure of the housing sector to different climate hazards is dispersed geographically and how the vulnerability to extreme weather events evolved over time. Second, we investigate the extent to which the location of new homes throughout this period has raised or lowered the vulnerability of the housing stock. Third, we outline the historical trajectory of the housing sector's climate susceptibility and use our data to estimate how this is likely to evolve out to 2100. Our analysis reveals that the Australian housing stock displays pronounced susceptibility to water stress, moderate vulnerability to wildfires, and slight susceptibility to floods, cyclones and heatwaves. Furthermore, our findings indicate that growth in the Australian housing stock shows a negative correlation with the risk posed by heatwaves and the anticipated shifts in wildfire risk, whereas it exhibits no discernible association with other hazards.</p>","PeriodicalId":55427,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics","volume":"69 3","pages":"510-525"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8489.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144681377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
