Abstract

Agricultural price policy and analysis have a quite different context and requirements when associated with rapid agricultural growth as compared to slow-growth agricultures. Technology-based agricultural growth increases incomes of both farmers and the rural poor. The thrust of this chapter is that government subsidies to cereals output and input prices have a prohibitively high opportunity cost in foregone investment in agricultural growth. The rural poor may be driven into extreme poverty with long-term loss of productive capacity owing to rising cereal prices. In that case, intervention to assist the poor is a good idea, especially, as is often the case, if it is paid for by foreign assistance donors.
