Based on the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) approach this paper provides an assessment
of the
competitive position of the Hungarian agro-food industry in view of EU integration.
The situation in the
food processing sector is assessed with the use of actual cost data from representative
Hungarian
companies. The paper presents an assessment of the current situation prior to EU
integration as well
as a future outlook under various scenarios with regard to the expected policy environment
and the
rate of technological change.
The actual measurement of competitiveness in this study focuses mainly on Private
Resource Cost
(PRC) which indicates competitiveness under real market conditions and Domestic Resource
Cost
(DRC) which gives an assessment on the social or economic efficiency of an activity,
i.e. whether
domestic resources are really used efficiently in current production.
In the food processing sector 21 different food products have been investigated which
fall into four
industries: meat, poultry, dairy, and fruits and vegetables. Under current conditions
only some
products are competitive in private terms. The situation would improve after EU integration
especially
for poultry, fruits and vegetables, because agricultural policy conditions are more
favourable under the
CAP. If additional FDI(Foreign Direct Investments) would flow into the country after
EU membership,
this would boost profitability.
As far as DRC values are concerned, it must be stated that only some of the production
activities are
clearly efficient. Dairy, fruits and vegetables, and roast goose production show
relatively weak social
competitiveness, while other poultry and fruit and vegetables products are more favourable
from the
economic point of view. As EU policies provide on average higher protection levels,
the
competitiveness of Hungarian food processing on world markets would deteriorate for
most products
after EU accession. However, these effects can be offset by additional technological
change due to
FDI inflows or otherwise induced technological progress.

A modelling system is presented and used to analyse the impact of milk quota
abolishment on Dutch agriculture and economy. The modelling system consists of a
regionalised, agri-environmental, partial equilibrium, mathematical programming
model of agriculture supply in the Netherlands integrated into a mixed input-output
model. It was found that abolition of the milk quota system has large impacts on
milk
production and livestock numbers and composition. The latter is explained by the
strict mineral and manure policies in the Netherlands; an increase in the numbers
of
dairy cows leaves less room for other livestock. It is also found that, although
the total
effect on gross value added in the Dutch economy is limited, the effects for individual
industries can be large.

This study deals with horizontal product differentiation in the Polish pig meat market.
Hypothesis among firms behaviour are derived from an illustrative model and tested
in an
empirical analysis using data from 1991-1998. The empirical analysis suggest that
product
differentiation is a relevant phenomenon in the polish pig meat markets. In addition
we found
that costs and competitions are important factors influencing price variation. However,
further
influences like price discrimination and vertical product differentiation are also
important
determinants for product price variations.

In order to understand the future of food supply and demand and food security, it
is essential to focus on the long-term, fundamental drivers, such as income and population
growth, and technological change in agriculture as influenced by investments in agricultural
research, irrigation, and other factors.
In the remainder of this paper we take a new look into the future role of agricultural research and technology development in world food markets based on alternative scenario simulations with IFPRI’s IMPACT model. The paper starts out by very briefly describing the model, and then presents and discusses alternative scenarios with a focus on the role of technological change.
