Economic reform in Europe and the former Soviet Union: implications for international food markets por Tyers, Rodney

“…Policy reforms in the wake of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) are expected to reduce food exports in Western Europe. Will the transition to market- oriented policy regimes in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union expand agricultural production there, eventually offsetting the reductions in Western Europe and leading to food surpluses for the region as a whole? …”

Intellectual property and developing countries: freedom to operate in agricultural biotechnology por Pardey, Philip G., Wright, Brian D., Nottenburg, Carol, Binenbaum, Eran, Zambrano, Patricia

“…In agricultural biotechnology, the key technologies protected as intellectual property are highly concentrated in the hands of a small number of large, multinational corporations based in North America and Western Europe (“the North”). Although many developing countries (“the South”) lack the capacity to adopt these technologies, a system of international and national agricultural research centers has used them to make genetic improvements benefiting the vast majority of poor consumers. …”

International trade, regional integration and food security in the Middle East por DeRosa, Dean A.

“…Against the background of increasing interest in closer economic relations in the Middle East, the contribution that greater integration of markets might make to improving food security in the region is investigated, using a quantitative framework for gauging the reduction in instability of market supplies for cereal, meat, and dairy commodities under regional cooperation schemes versus more general policies to increase the integration of Middle East markets with markets in Western Europe and the world at large. Nondiscriminatory trade liberalization yields the greatest improvements in food security, but expansion of intra-regional trade relations also result in improved food security, except in the case of wheat and other cereals because of already extensive Middle East imports of these commodities commercially and under bilateral and multilateral food aid programs.…”

Grain supply and policy developments por International Food Policy Research Institute

“…Notwithstanding record production in India and other developing market economies, world grain supplies remain tight largely because of poor crops in the USSR and Eastern and Western Europe. Grain stocks may rise slightly in the USA and in some Asian countries, but total world stocks remain at very low levels. …”

Wholesalers, wholesale markets, and symbiosis with the emerging logistics sector por Reardon, Thomas

“…The primary geographic focus is on developing and emerging market economies (Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America), but also provides a comparison with the evidence regarding the evolution and roles 3PLS and wholesale markets in agrifood value chain development in the United States and Western Europe. Our review on this subject is timely given that the midstream segments of output value chains have been identified as an important theme about which there is inadequate research and policy debate (Barrett et al. 2022) despite their importance to consumers and farmers. …”

Economic crisis in Asia: a future of diminishing growth and increasing poverty? por Rosegrant, Mark W., Ringler, Claudia

“…Recovery from the crisis will depend, in part, on increases in Asia’s exports to some of the larger developed markets, like the United States and Western Europe. But developed countries themselves are suffering from the crisis to varying degrees, depending on their trade and financial links with Asia and pre-crisis economic and financial positions. …”

South-North trade, intellectual property jurisdictions, and freedom to operate in agricultural research on staple crops por Binenbaum, Eran, Pardey, Philip G., Zambrano, Patricia, Nottenburg, Carol, Wright, Brian D.

“…However, using international production and trade data in the 15 crops critical to food security throughout the developing world, we show that exports from developing to developed countries are generally dwarfed by production and consumption in the developing world, the value of these exports is concentrated in a few crops and a few exporting countries, and the bulk of these exports go to Western Europe. Thus for now, most LDC researchers can focus primarily on domestic IPR in determining their freedom to operate with respect to food staples.…”

Defining livestock breeds in the context of community-based management of farm animal genetic resources por Rege, J.E.O.

“…The concept of a breed, in which all members have a pedigree tracing their ancestry, was developed primarily in Western Europe during the eighteenth century. Today, in the developed world, breeds are recognized as distinct intra-specific groups, the members of which share particular characteristics, which distinguish them from other such groups, and formal organizations usually exist for each breed or breed group. …”

An investigation of binding ability of Ixodes persulcatus Schulze Salp15 with Lyme disease spirochetes por Murase, Y., Konnai, S., Yamada, S., Githaka, Naftaly W., Isezaki, M., Ito, T., Takano, A., Ando, S., Kawabata, H., Murata, S., Ohashi, K.

“…Salp15, a 15-kDa tick salivary gland protein, has several suppressive modes of activity against host immunity and plays a critical role in the transmission of Lyme disease spirochetes in Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes ricinus, major vectors of Lyme disease in North America and Western Europe. Salp15 adheres to Borrelia burgdorferi and specifically interacts with its outer surface protein C (OspC), protecting the spirochete from antibody-mediated cytotoxicity and facilitating infection in the mice. …”
