    Series Statement: West African papers no. 01 (July 2016)
    Series Statement: West African papers
    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Development ; Amtsdruckschrift ; Arbeitspapier ; Graue Literatur
    Abstract: Driven by urbanisation and income growth, the West African food economy has radically changed over the past 60 years. The food economy, including all activities involved in producing food, from production to processing, transport and distribution totalled USD 178 billion in 2010, equal to 36% of the regional GDP. Forty percent of the value added in the food economy is generated by non-agricultural activities. Post-harvest activities are rapidly developing and are expected to grow more quickly in coming decades than other segments of the food value chain. Policies and monitoring systems need to adjust to these changes to leverage the emerging opportunities in agricultural development, employment and value creation. This paper estimates the size and structure of this new food economy, and explores major policy implications.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Development
    Abstract: L’économie alimentaire ouest-africaine s’est profondément transformée ces 60 dernières années sous l’effet de l’urbanisation et de la croissance des revenus. L’ensemble des activités de production, transformation et distribution qui concourent à l’alimentation humaine, représente un total de 178 milliards USD en 2010, soit 36 % du PIB régional. Environ 40% de la valeur ajoutée de cette économie alimentaire n’est plus le fait de l’agriculture. En particulier, les segments aval de l’agriculture dans les chaînes de valeur alimentaires gagnent en importance et devraient connaître la croissance la plus forte sur les prochaines décennies. L’appareil décisionnel doit se doter des mécanismes de suivi et d’analyse adaptés. Ce document propose une estimation de la taille et de la structure de cette nouvelle économie alimentaire, et revient sur les principaux enjeux de politique publique qui en découlent.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Environment ; Science and Technology ; Transgene Pflanzen ; Umweltgefährdung ; Risikoanalyse
    Abstract: The books on “Safety Assessment of Transgenic Organisms” constitute a compilation of the OECD Biosafety Consensus Documents. When published, Volume 1 and 2 contained the documents issued before 2006; Volume 3 and 4 are a continuation of the compilation up to 2010. The OECD Biosafety Consensus Documents identify elements of scientific information used in the environmental safety and risk assessment of transgenic organisms which are common to OECD member countries and some non members associated with the work. This is intended to encourage information sharing, promote harmonised practices, and prevent duplication of effort among countries. These books offer ready access to those consensus documents which have been issued on the website thus far. As such, it should be of value to applicants for commercial uses of transgenic organisms (crops, trees, microorganisms), to regulators and risk assessors in national authorities, as well as the wider scientific community. More information on the OECD's work related to the biosafety of transgenic organisms is found at BioTrack Online (http://www.oecd.org/biotrack).

    Abstract: Die Agrarstützung ist in den OECD-Ländern insgesamt zurückgegangen: 2008 machte sie 21% der Bruttoeinnahmen der Landwirte aus – gegenüber 22% im Jahr 2007 und 26% im Jahr 2006 –, womit sie auf das niedrigste Niveau seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre gesunken ist. Agrarpolitik in den OECD-Ländern: Monitoring und Evaluierung 2009 zeigt auf, dass sich dieser Rückgang großenteils aus der Verringerung der Differenz zwischen den Inlands- und den Weltmarktpreisen für Agrarerzeugnisse erklärt. Bei der Entkopplung der Agrarstützung von der Produktion wurden Fortschritte erzielt, auch wenn produktionsgebundene Stützungsmaßnahmen immer noch eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Zudem sind im Ländervergleich große Unterschiede bei der Höhe sowie der Zusammensetzung der Agrarstützung festzustellen. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den Auswirkungen der gegenwärtigen Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise auf die Landwirtschaft und den seitens der Politik in diesem Zusammenhang ergriffenen Maßnahmen. Die Landwirtschaft wird durch die Krise voraussichtlich weniger beeinträchtigt werden als viele andere Sektoren: Das Engagement des Agrarsektors auf den Finanzmärkten ist vergleichsweise gering, die Nachfrage reagiert weniger auf Einkommensrückgänge, und mit dem bestehenden Katalog an Stützungsmaßnahmen können die Auswirkungen der Krise in vielen Ländern abgefedert werden. Angesichts der schwieriger gewordenen Haushaltssituation, mit der sich die Regierungen konfrontiert sehen, wird es wahrscheinlich zu einer weiteren Neubeurteilung der Förderpolitik insgesamt und damit auch der Agrarstützung kommen. Weitere Themen dieses Berichts sind das 2008 verabschiedete neue Landwirtschaftsgesetz der Vereinigten Staaten, der „Gesundheitscheck“ der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik der Europäischen Union und der neue agrarpolitische Rahmen in Kanada, „Growing Forward“. Ein Sonderkapitel befasst sich mit Agrarumweltmaßnahmen in den OECD-Ländern.

    Abstract: This report complements earlier OECD work on liquid biofuels and provides information on biomass based heat and power, as well as on biogas. It discusses the heterogeneous portfolio of different biomass feedstocks, conversion technologies, and pathways of utilisation. It also shows that governments in many countries provide substantial support to the production and use of renewable energy in general, and bioenergy in particular; these support measures are highly diverse and are given at national and various sub-national levels. The results of a large number of life-cycle analyses of various bioheat and biopower chains reviewed in this study indicate that the objective to reduce GHG emissions and fossil energy use is met; indeed the savings estimated for most chains are substantial when compared to fossil alternatives. At present, most of the chains examined do not compete with food and feed production, and thus the implications for agricultural markets are small. It is clear, however, that if a stronger focus on agricultural biomass crops is to be developed, this will require careful design of support policies so as to avoid compromising the ability of the agricultural sector to provide food and feed in a sustainable manner.

    Abstract: The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the beginning of a long and laborious transition to a market-oriented economy in Russia. While significant progress has been made in liberalising the economy, difficulties remain in the agro-food sector. Russia has enormous economic potential and the agricultural economy will continue to form a significant part of Russia's economic and social structure well into the 21st century. But to fulfill this potential, Russia needs to facilitate the development and implementation of effective market mechanisms and to eliminate the structural barriers that are impeding the emergence of a strong and competitive agro-food sector. This study is one of the most comprehensive analyses and assessments of developments in Russia's agricultural policies since the onset of reform, drawing on the OECD's well-established method of calculating support from agricultural policies using Producer and Consumer Subsidy Equivalents.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Se nourrir demain : Perspectives à long terme du secteur agro-alimentaire
    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Economics
    Abstract: The agro-food sector in OECD countries is heading towards an era of turbulance and transition. With food demand in developing countries growing, barriers to trade and investment falling, and consumer tastes and preferences rapidly diversifying, the landscape of OECD food markets will be radically different 20 years from now. Are food shortages likely and what will happen to food prices? What changes will we see in food retailing and food processing? Will there be more co-operation between the various players in the agro-food industry, more concentration or more competition? To grasp these challenges, this report looks into the prospects for the agro-food sector to 2010-20 and examines the new generation of key issues that lie ahead for governments, business, farmers and consumers.
