Farm Bill

Unfortunately, the unprecedented prices US farmers are getting for their crops were not high enough to convince the congress to stop subsiding agricultural production; what's worse, they actually increased the hangouts!!
The insignificant increases in nutrition assistance to the poor at home and abroad, conservation, farmers markets, organic food, and minority farmers also part of the Farm Bill, do not hide the fact that there is still millions of dollars going to wealthy farmers. Both editorial pages of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal criticized the measure, showing the hypocrisy of parties across the isle that succumb to the interest of agribusiness lobbying groups and not the majority of taxpayer Americans, not to mention the millions across the world that will be affected by these policies.

For a good list of reasons to oppose this bill check out the blog of Harvard's Professor Greg Mankiw gregmankiw.blogspot.com (may 14th post)

Jobs with Development Contractor

Hola readers,
Last week, the Society for International Development hosted its Annual Career Fair. Besides having the opportunity to talk to employers from different sectors of the international development arena, invitees had also the opportunity to see thoughtful presentations on the latests trends in International Development and the implication of such trends for jobs in the sector.

One presentation that i really enjoyed was by Tony Barclay, Chief Executive Officer of Development Alternatives Inc. He talked about the type of work contractors do and how it has change over the years. He also spend some time describing the set of skills needed to work with contractors and how the job market both on the demand and supply side is changing for those interested in entry level positions. Mr. Barclay agreed to share with the readers of this blog his presentation, which I'm sure some of you will find very useful. Find it HERE.

Stay tunned as more and more material will be available under the "4s" tab

Una columna para ignorar

Otra columna del El Tiempo por Jorge Restrepo que utiliza la crisis alimentaría para criticar el libre mercado sin darse cuenta que fue la falta de libre mercado la que llevo en gran parte a esta crisis.
Comentario en respuesta al articulo: No se cual con que argumento el Dr. Restrepo defiende su tesis de que “mercantilismo perdió su guerra contra la acción estatal sobre todo en asistencia y regulación”. Si algo podemos concluir de la crisis de los precios de la comida es que es, precisamente, la regulación excesiva del gobierno lo que ha causado en gran parte esta crisis catastrófica. Pueda que resulte más rentable sembrar maíz para producir energía en vez de comida. Pero esto se da gracias a las regulaciones masivas en forma de subsidios que el gobierno de USA esta dando a sus productores para que produzcan más. Sin estas, el maíz para etanol, simplemente, no seria rentable. Fuera de eso, la regulación gubernamental a través de tributos a exportaciones no ha hecho mas que agravar el problema, al disminuir la cantidad de comida disponible globalmente y generar desincentivos de producción. El aprendizaje de esta crisis ha de ser que la sobre-regulación gubernamental del sector agrícola en países desarrollados y en vía de desarrollo nos aleja cada día mas del precio real de la comida, haciendo el sector menos eficiente e incapaz de seguir alimentado a un mundo que cada día quiere comer mejor.

Brookings on Global Food Crisis

Good series of articles, with research and commentary from the Brookings Institution on the Global Food Crisis

FAO Gets it

I've been arguing for the last couple weeks about the importance of paying attention the benefits the so-called "food crisis" could bring to those whose livelihood depend on agriculture. After many failed strategies to improve the lives of those in rural areas, high food prices may turn out to be the right incentive to make farmers more prosperous. Yet, local goverments and institutions, the donor community and research stations must play an essential role in ensuring that such opportunities are materialized. In the words of FAO Director-General Jacques Diouf “To ensure that small farmers and rural households benefit from higher food prices, we need to create a favourable policy environment that relaxes the constraints facing the private sector, farmers and traders,”. Diouf: world must seize chance to boost agriculture

Now, keep in mind that this is not an option for the bast majority of the poor living under very vulnerable circumstances, specially in West Africa and South Asia. They tend to be net food consumers, so price increases affect directly their spending habits, resulting in less quantity and less quality of food. This is more prominent in urban and periurban areas where food prices are more connected to the international market. For such populations, the UN guidelines are a good starting point on how to deal with the crisis.

Otra columna del Tiempo "El problema es la seguridad alimentaria nacional" y lo que yo respondi:

Aunque el Dr. Montoya no propone nada concreto, queda claro que el acento de esta columna se asemeja mucho a aquellos que promueven políticas proteccionistas bajo la excusa de la seguridad alimentaría. Japón primero dijo que era cuestión de seguridad, ahora dice que es por mantener su tradición, y en un futuro muy cercano se inventara otra excusa para mantener subsidiado su arroz que cuesta producir 11 veces más que en otras regiones del mundo. No podemos caer en la trampa en que están cayendo muchos al proteger nuestras fronteras y limitar nuestras exportaciones agrarias bajo el escudo de la seguridad alimentaría. No hay mejor forma de llegar a esta que con un campo prospero y competitivo y esto solo se hace con la dinámica de los mercados del mundo. ¿Acaso vemos inseguridad alimentaría en las lomas del eje cafetero o en las planicies del valle del cauca? ¿a donde va toda esa azúcar a ese grandioso café? Al extranjero.

En Burkina Faso (con una “s”) se sufre pero la crisis viene desde hace mucho antes. Con USA subsidiando su el algodón y otros granos bajo la excusa de la seguridad alimentaría, lo que han hecho es reducir los precios a nivel mundial. Ahora la crisis esta patas arriba, pero lo que queda claro es que esta crisis es el resultado de políticas miopes que tratan de controlar el sector agrícola generando consecuencias catastróficas en el resto del mundo, sobre todo en aquellos países que dependen de importaciones para alimentarse. La inseguridad alimentaría esta directamente relacionada a las acciones de gobiernos que tratan de “proteger” el sector generando así desincentivos a sus productores y alterando cada vez más el precio real de los productos. Para afrontar esta crisis mundial los países del mundo tienen que dejar el egoísmo y pensar en el bienestar global. Espero que Colombia lo haga.

Expensive fufu and other things

The food crisis has served as catalyst for social and economic discontent that predated the exponential increase in food crises. This is not to say that food has become extremely expensive and most of the poor are spending almost all of their income to feed themselves, creating a situation that in a global perspective is unprecedented. Yet, the countries that are been hit the hardest are those with very disfuntional goverments, that have neglected their people at the cost of maintaining an small, corrupt constituency pleased.
What better example than Somalia: As we speak, thousands are rioting the street of Mogadishu over the food prices, and other things that may get buried behind the headlines. This is important because there are many out there that believe everything was peace and love and then the prices hit. But Somalia is just one of many countries where the "perfect storm" is threating social stability: According to The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) if this situation is not checked insecurity is bound to escalate and like the recent riots in Egypt, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and Haiti. FYI Senegal denies there are hungry people in the country and has even blame FAO for the contributing to the crisis.

Los Precios de la Comida; desafíos y oportunidades para Latinoamérica

Plating Beans

Hola hispanoparlantes,

Una gran sorpresa me lleve el día de ayer al visitar El Tiempo (principal periódico Colombiano) y encontrar que su editorial del domingo estaba dedicado a la crisis de la comida, y no al las ultimas revelaciones del escándalo de la parapolitica. Me ha llamado mucho la atención como, hasta cierto punto, Latino América ha estado ausente en el cubrimiento mediático que se le ha dado a las alzas de los precios de la comida. Espero que la columna del tiempo fomente un debate fundamental que se debe dar en nuestro países acerca de cómo afrontar la crisis y como aprovecharla.

¿Pero porque la ausencia de Latinoamérica en esta importante discusión? Basta con revisar los principales titulares de las grandes cadenas informáticas mundiales para darse cuenta que su enfoque regional gira en torno a la mayoría de países africanos y algunos en Asia. Es mas, al visitar la pagina de uno de los principales financiadores de proyectos de desarrollo en Latino America, el BID, uno no encuentra referencia alguna a esta crisis. No se puede decir lo mismo del Banco Mundial, o los bancos regionales de Asia y Africa, estos han llevado a cabo iniciativas importantes para enfrentar el problema.

La respuesta a la ausencia de Latinoamérica en esta discusión se remonta a décadas atrás. Básicamente, en Latino America la agricultura desde hace ya mucho tiempo dejo de tomar un papel relevante. Recordemos que en los 60’s y 70’s el modelo de desarrollo era la industrialización, en gran mediada a costa de tributos absurdos al sector agrícola (esto tiene acento Argentino). La agricultura se veía como una actividad tradicional de retaguardia, algo que había que dejar para poder “prosperar”. Nuestros gobernantes administraron de las ciudades a las ciudades, teniendo en cuenta las poblaciones rurales en aquellos periodos cuando estas pasaban a llamarse electorado.

También, al ser Latinoamérica uno de los epicentros de la revolución verde, se pensó que el problema de la comida dejo de existir. Obviamente, nuestros países no tienen los índices que se ven en algunos países Africanos. Pero si hacemos el mismo análisis a nivel regional, nos daremos cuenta que hay partes de nuestro continente que presentan índices aun peores que aquellos de Africa. Estas regiones tienden a vivir en zonas marginales, donde el abandono y abuso estatal ha sido el común denominador por décadas de condiciones supremamente precarias.

Nos tomo muchos años para darnos cuenta que el sector agrícola provee los cimientos esenciales para una economía fuerte y sobre todo para las reducciones en los niveles de pobreza. Pero hoy en día, el sector agrícola, con excepción de algunos países como Brasil y Chile, aun sigue en un estado de negligencia estatal deplorante, sobre todo en un momento de la historia en el que este mismo tiene la capacidad de proveer los recursos tan necesitados para desarrollar las zonas rurales, donde tiene a concentrarse más la pobreza.

¿Entonces que debe hacer latino América frente esta crisis?

En primer lugar debemos reconoce y atender aquellas poblaciones mas vulnerables. No podemos caer en la trampa de políticas de corto plazo, netamente asistencialitas puesto que sabemos que estas perpetúan el problema. Lo que se debe hacer es crear los incentivos adecuados para que poco a poco estas poblaciones tengan la capacidad de salir del círculo vicioso de la pobreza. Esto se hace invirtiendo en infraestructura, mejorando y fomentado técnicas agrícolas, conectado estas poblaciones con mercados dispuestos a pagar por sus productos, asegurado el cubrimiento estatal de servicios básicos de salud, educación, y seguridad etc. Es decir, se necesita una política comprensiva que conecte el campo con el resto del país y el mundo, haciéndolo mas prospero.

También, los países latinoamericanos deben aprovechar la gran demanda mundial que ha venido surgiendo en torno a los granos básicos. Nuestro continente cuenta con millones de hectáreas que pueden ser cultivadas y otra gran cantidad donde la producción pude ser intensificada. Eso si, asegurándose que el impacto ambiental sea minúsculo y que exista una protección social a la mano de obra rural.

En todos estos puntos, nuestros gobiernos han de jugar un papel central. Pero para llegar a este nivel, tenemos que reconocer la relevancia de la agricultura, invertir en esta, y cosechar los frutos. Espero que los altos precios de la comida generen los incentivos adecuados para algo que debió comenzar décadas atrás.


Multilateral Banks and the Food Crisis

Gran Marche

Hi There,
A friend of mine just point out to me how the blog was missing out some of the efforts put together by the World Bank to address the current food crisis. Besides publishing their World Development Report with the topic of agriculture, the World Bank has been instrumental in brining agriculture back to the donors and governments discussion table. The timing, as you all know, couldn't be better: The increases in food prices present an enormous challenge for countries in Africa Sub-Saharan and South Asia to finally address the decades of negligent policies towards the rural sector. In the urban centers, where the price increases are more prevalent, governments have the challenge to ensure that the very needy are meeting their calorie requirement.

But this crisis is also an unprecedented opportunitiy for other regions of the world with potential to intensify and/or expand their agricultural capacity. These countries can reap huge benefits from the price increases, a win win scenario as world prices will decreased and thousands of jobs will be created. That said, multilateral banks must persuade governments not to put in place policies that generate disincentives that could avert such benefits: limit on export, price ceilings, and taxation are just some examples of policies making matters worse. Also to take into consideration is the potential negative environmental and social impact such expansion could have.

In sum, the World Bank must play a central in addressing the challenges of those countries in Africa and Asia and enabling other countries to capture the potential benefits this crisis will bring. These can only be archived by providing incentives for agricultural investment, persuading governments to follow policies that will benefit the world as a whole, and ensuring that the basic needs of those must vulnerable are met.
Check out this interview to Senior Economist at World Bank’s Agriculture Unit Robert Townsend. Also, don't forget to visit the special website WB put together about World Food Prices

More on Food Prices: article from Financial Times

Food crisis is a chance to reform global agriculture. Financial Times Matin Wolf

Of the two crises disturbing the world economy – financial disarray and soaring food prices – the latter is the more disturbing. In many developing countries, the poorest quartile of consumers spends close to three-quarters of its income on food. Inevitably, high prices threaten unrest at best and mass starvation at worst.

Don Marcos and the snake

Hi there!
i just came back from working all day at the garden. The day was perfect; sunny, a little windy, and a very loose soil after two days of rain. Marcos, a dishwasher at the restaurant where i have a part-time, showed me how corn and beans are cultivated in his native Honduras.

my plot looking a bit better

Whenever i meet a latino, i always ask them what they grew. Their reaction to the question is one of surprise to amazement as i keep asking them about their agricultural practices, fertilizers, prices, and many other things related to the life they have left behind. It's almost as if they were ashame of their past.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, agriculture is seen as a backwards practice, associated with poverty and stagnation. Development, according to many, is leaving agriculture to most prosperous and profitable urban and industry sectors. But in light of the recent events, this prevalent view must be revisited. And i'm not taking about paying more attention to agriculture, i argue that agriculture must be the central component in the development strategies of many countries. The price incentives are there, the research is there, the people is there; so what's is missing? not sure, maybe leadership to get out of the status quo, political will to question the traditional wisdom of policy makers.

Don Marcos

But lets go back to Don Marcos. He, like many, got to a point in which he had to choose between the Maquilas or the north. Agriculture just gave him "enough for the day" and with the price of inputs getting more expensive he had to make a decision. Having a nephew in Washington he opted for the states. He arrived about a year and a half ago, and since the first week he's been working almost non-stop at a cafe and a restaurant. He kept asking me questions about my garden that today i decided to bring him with me.

Together, we planted some corn, beans, and squash. I kept asking him questions as i try to get as much information as possible from his past live in my effort to understand what leads a man to leave behind his wife, children, and land for a steamy room filled with food craps. I guess it all boils down to food: later that day as we ate perubian chicken in a nearby rotisserie, he told me that his family could only afford meat once a week, sometimes even every two weeks. Today, thanks to the remittances his family is eating a lot better with lots meat and dairy, a luxury that millions can't afford nowadays.

garden snake

PS As we till the soil and almost as an Aztec sign, a snake came up from the weed, i kept looking for the eagle but no luck there...
