Global price trends of ICRISAT mandate crops
2008
The prices of agricultural commodities have been in the news in recent months following an increase in their real prices after three decades of falling/ relatively stable prices. Although the prices of agricultural commodities started to rise from as early as 2001, the sharpest increase occurred in the years 2006-08. The rise in prices can be attributed to a multitude of factors both on the demand and supply side, such as consecutive bad harvests in major grain producing countries leading to record low stocks; stagnant yield levels of major crops; the increase in the price of crude oil leading to a rise in price of inputs such as fertilizers; income growth and urbanization in Asian countries fuelling demand and use of cereals/oilseeds for biofuel production, among several others.
RDI 25th Anniversary Factsheets: Agricultural Price Change
2014
Highlights • Farm-gate prices in Manitoba have generally been increasing. However, after an adjustment for inflation, the prices show a general declining trend. Thus, farm prices, in general, are not increasing faster than inflation. • For commodities outside the supply-managed sectors of poultry meat, eggs and dairy, the year-toyear variability of prices can vary from +20% to -20% (and the hog price variability has been at least twice as large). • A comparison of overall farm output prices and overall farm input prices showed a decline in the so-called terms of trade in the early 2000s (i.e. input prices increased faster than output prices) but there was an increase in the terms of trade up to mid-2013. • The price of hogs relative to the price of barley shows a flat trend over the 1985 to 2013 period but the fluctuations in the ratio were often more than 40%. • The price of wheat relative to the price of crude oil is now less (although very variable) compared to the calculation for the 1980s and the 1990s.
Rising Costs of Farm Inputs and its Implication on 2022 Wet Season Farming in Northwest sub region of Nigeria
This paper examined the effects of agro-input price increases on wet season farming in 2022. The effects were observed in terms of short-run, medium-run, and long-run effects, as well as uncertainty considerations. The article also examined the influence of agro input price increases on household food security, as well as the impact of agro input price changes on farm families'/rural households' economic activities. Factors contributing to growing farm input costs include rising commodity prices, excessive demand for inputs, widespread supply shortages, transportation bottlenecks, and so on. The article examined historical trends in general farm input price increases. Finally, the report discussed solutions for lowering farm input costs and examined the 2022 farming season like no other in terms of excessive pricing of agro inputs and related commodities, as well as the implications for the approaching wet season farming in Northwest Nigeria.

Principles of Agricultural Economics
This book showcases the power of economic principles to explain and predict issues and current events in the food, agricultural, agribusiness, international trade, natural resources, and other sectors. The result is an agricultural economics textbook that provides students and instructors with a clear, up-to-date, and straightforward approach to learning how a market-based economy functions, and how to use simple economic principles for improved decision making. While the primary focus of the book is on microeconomic aspects, agricultural economics has expanded over recent decades to include issues of macroeconomics, international trade, agribusiness, environmental economics, natural resources, and international development. Hence, these topics are also provided with signifi cant coverage.

Agriculture the is the backbone of Indian economy. agriculture prices play important role play in income and all Indian economy. Despite rapid industrialization in recent year India still remains essentially and agriculture country. Accordingly, the prices of foods lens and agriculture raw materials for a key position in the price structure of the country. a rise of hall in agriculture prices will immediately generate a similar rise or fall in the general price level. Agriculture in India is seasonal and supply of agriculture goods is subject to serious fluctuations. Naturally, agriculture prices me rise faster at times and fall more rapidly at some other times due to a temporary imbalance of supply and demand. Prices of agriculture producer important for farmers as determine their income by runs affected by this prices be they consumers industries or exporters incentives for rising production and irrational allocation of resources as also acquiring mark table surplus there is a social interest in all in this price is it is there for a considerable consequences and policy of agriculture prices.

Revenue and Costs for Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, and Double-Crop Soybeans
2018
This publication presents revenues and costs for producing corn, soybeans, wheat, and double-crop soybeans in three regions of Illinois: northern, central, and southern Illinois. Central Illinois is further divided into categories for high-productivity farmland and lowproductivity farmland. Divisions between high and low farmland productivity are made based on soil productivity ratings. Generally, farms with higher soil productivity ratings have higher yields. Between 2011 and 2016, corn yields on high productivity farmland averaged 192 bushels per acre while corn yields on low productivity farmland averaged 179 bushels. This publication includes ten tables:
State-Level Costs of Production, 1987
1989
Farmers planted 305 million acres to major crops in 1987, a decrease of 23 million acres from 1986. During this period, production costs rose. Prices for seed, fertilizers, chemicals, and fuel fell, while prices for machinery, general supplies, wages, and taxes rose. The costs and returns in this report are consistent with regional and national weighted averages published annually in the Economic Indicators of the Farm Sector: Costs of Production. The estimates are preliminary and subject to revision.
2013 Crop Insurance Projected Prices, Volatilities, and Harvest Price Impacts
2013
crop-insurance-projected.html The Risk Management Agency (RMA) "resets" various features of the crop insurance programs annually to reflect the market's estimate of the value of crops intended for production in the current year. Among the most important factors are (1) projected prices, (2) volatility factors, and (3) harvest prices. Projected prices directly determine the insurable value of production, and thus impact premiums as well. The volatility factor is a measure of the price risk the market associates with potential price changes in the production year, and thus directly impacts the calculated costs of insurance. Finally, the harvest price has the potential to increase the amount of insurance coverage in effect if prices increase between the end of the projected price discovery period and the harvest price determination period. The purpose of this article is to describe the processes used to establish each of these features and to discuss important implications for crop insurance in 2013.

An Outlook for Fertilizer Demand, Supply, and Trade, 1988/89-1993/94
1991
This report reviews the outlook for the international fertilizer industry through the year 2000 with regard to demand/supply and balances for nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilizers. The impact that new fertilizer use will have on fertilizer trading patterns and the economics of fertilizer trade in the future is also reviewed. The report also discusses the need for new fertilizer consumption to meet increasing world food needs and the impact that environmental considerations are having on the fertilizer industry. Further, fertilizer price information is also discussed and an outline of fertilizer price projections through the year 2000 derived from the World Bank integrated agricultural/fertilizer model is given.
