production risk and technical inefficiency in russian agriculture
Social Science Research Network, 2008Co-Authors: Raushan Bokusheva, Heinrich HockmannAbstract:This study investigates production risk and technical inefficiency as two possible sources of the production variability that characterised Russian agriculture during the last decade. The empirical analysis is conducted using panel data from 1996 to 2001 on 443 large Agricultural Enterprises from three regions in central, southern and Volga Russia. A production function specification accounting for the effect of inputs on both risk and technical inefficiency is found to describe production technologies of Russian farms more appropriately than the traditional stochastic frontier formulation.

production risk and technical inefficiency in russian agriculture
Research Papers in Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Raushan Bokusheva, Heinrich HockmannAbstract:This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of possible causes of considerable production variability that characterised Russian agriculture during the last decade. The study investigates production risk and technical inefficiency as two sources that influence production variability. Using panel data from 1996 to 2001, an empirical analysis of 443 large Agricultural Enterprises from three regions in central, southern and Volga Russia is conducted. A production function specification accounting for the effect of inputs on both risk and technical inefficiency is found to describe production technologies of Russian farms more appropriately than the traditional stochastic frontier formulation.

mitigating economic risk from climate variability in rain fed agriculture through enterprise mix diversification
Ecological Economics, 2012Co-Authors: John Kandulu, Brett A Bryan, Darran King, Jeffery D ConnorAbstract:Abstract Climate variability, and its increase with climate change, pose substantial economic risks to Agriculturalists and hence, limit their ability to respond to global challenges such as food security. Enterprise mix diversification is the most common, and is widely regarded as the most effective, strategy for mitigating multiple sources of short-term economic risk to Agricultural Enterprises. However, assessments of enterprise mix diversification as a strategy for mitigating climate risks to ensure long term viability of Agricultural Enterprises are sparse. Using the Lower Murray region in southern Australia as a case study, we combined APSIM modelling with Monte Carlo simulation, probability theory, and finance techniques, to assess the extent to which enterprise mix diversification can mitigate climate-induced variability in long term net returns from rain-fed agriculture. We found that diversification can reduce the standard deviation by up to A$200 ha− 1, or 52% of mean net returns; increase the probability of breaking even by up to 20%, and increase the mean of 10% of worst probable annual net returns (Conditional Value at Risk) by up to A$100 ha− 1. We conclude that enterprise mix diversification can also be an effective strategy for hedging against climate-induced economic risk for Agriculturalists in marginal areas.

analysis of production and sales of organic products in ukrainian Agricultural Enterprises
Sustainability, 2020Co-Authors: Roman Ostapenko, Vitalii Nitsenko, Yuliia Herasymenko, Svitlana Koliadenko, Tomas Balezentis, Dalia StreimikieneAbstract:As organic farming gains more popularity across the world, it is important to discuss the underlying trends of its development in Ukraine, who is an important Agricultural producer. Organic farming may have lower environmental pressures—therefore, we seek to identify the major trends in the production and sales of the organic Agricultural products in Ukraine. In this study, data on the production structure, costs, and selling prices from Ukrainian Enterprises are analyzed. Conventional and organic Enterprises are contrasted in order to identify the possibilities for the development of organic agriculture in Ukraine. Our results suggest that Enterprises that use organic farming in Ukraine tend to produce higher output per hectare, as opposed to those engaged in conventional farming. However, labor profitability remains low in labor-intensive organic farming, especially in larger companies, and organic products remain a low percentage of Ukraine’s Agricultural exports. This calls for further study into the development of organic production and consumption in the domestic market, as well as the implementation of appropriate certification practices in order to ensure the growth of organic exports.
