Macro-micro feedback links of water management in South Africa: CGE analyses of selected policy regimes by Hassan, Rashid, Thurlow, James

“…The analyses reveal that implicit crop-level water quotas reduce the amount of irrigated land allocated to higher-value horticultural crops and create higher shadow rents for production of lower-value water-intensive field crops, such as sugarcane and fodder. Accordingly, liberalizing local water allocation within irrigation agriculture is found to work in favor of higher-value crops, and expand agricultural production and exports and farm employment. …”

Potential for cassava breeding in Asia by Kawano, K

“…If the current level of productivity is not significantly increased, the demand for cassava in Asia will not increase; on the other hand, demand will be unrestricted if a major improvement in productivity can be made and cassava can compete with maize, sorghum, and sugarcane. Three levels of research selection goals can be set: in the 1st, research is justified based on the importance of cassava but breeding objectives and goals are not defined, in the 2nd, research goals specify yield, DM content, and resistance to major diseases and pests as primary breeding objectives (30-50 percent yield increase in exptl. stations and 20- 30 percent increase in production fields); and in the 3rd, research goals consider high yield increases to allow cassava to compete favorably with other crops as an energy source (100 percent yield increase, or 50 t/ha, in exptl. stations and 50 percent yield increase, or 25 t/ha, in production fields). …”
