Temporally, organisationally and ideologically, this movement has been able to bring agrarian politics to the forefront of Indian p…
Power Asymmetry and Unequal Exchange in the Agricultural Value Systems
This article discusses the heterogeneity and power asymmetry within Agricultural Value Systems (AVS). The power asymmetry arises due to the peculiar nature of cultivation and noncultivation sections of the AVS and also because of different factor endowments within the farming community. The power asymmetry in AVS siphons off surplus from cultivation to noncultivation segments of the AVS. The theoretical discussion in this article is followed by a…
India's Rice Export
In a situation where the Indian farming community is already facing deficits and is unable to cover the cost of production, the recent export prices are an additional concern. Since an exporter of any country cannot alone change the world price, to make export profitable, even with a lower margin, the price squeeze is possible only in the backward linkages in general and from farmers in particular
