The Latin American peanut industry is estimated using SUR. In scenarios, their demand is not affected dramatically by both price changes. The price changes affect the Latin American supply by roughly 15% and net trade by approximately 50%, compared to less than 10% in world price shock.

This paper investigates the impacts of research investment on wheat production. A two-way error component random effect model was estimated using panel data to examine the effects of research investment on mean yield and yield variance. Results show that, for the time period between 1974 and...

Agricultural policy objectives provide green payment incentives for farmers to initiate practices with environmental benefits. Velvet beans planted as a cover crop offer an alternative for southeastern peanut farmers to control nematodes without chemicals, while increasing soil fertility....

Peanut production efficiency in the Southeast is analyzed for assessing farm-level impacts of the 2002 Farm Act. Stochastic frontier analysis utilizes data from 2001 Peanut Farm Survey. Results show that production efficiency cannot be attributed to quota ownership. Certain other farm...

A set of factors has been identified to affect consumption of reduced-fat peanut butter in addition to regular peanut butter. We found that consumption of reduced-fat peanut butter, which is an imperfect substitute for regular peanut butter, may expand total demand for peanut butter....

This paper addressed consumers' attitude toward meat labels and the influence of different aspects of meat labels on beef, poultry and seafood consumption using a national survey data. Nutrition and ingredient information on meat labels were positively related with attitude toward meat labels as...

The 2002 Farm Bill altered the peanut program. Peanut producers have indicated interest in a New Generation Shelling Cooperative (NGSC). This study simulates inherent risks and potential risk management strategies for a NGSC. These strategies are ranked using various metrics to understand their...

Southeastern peanut farms with diversified field crops utilize government payments to supplement market receipts. Production in 2002 represented growing conditions under adverse weather, while 2003 represented optimal conditions. Representative farm analysis provides insight into allocation of...

Using monthly data, we find evidence of both short- and long-run asymmetry of price transmission from peanut to peanut butter prices. This suggests that the asymmetry is more likely a result of imperfect competition than of competitive profit maximizing inventory management. Effects of producer...
