Agricultural Economics, 1989, vol. 3, issue 1, 69-76

Abstract: In this paper the impact of the cotton pricing policy of the marketing board of Côte‐d'Ivoire is investigated. A theoretical model is developed to derive the price level which maximizes revenue generated from the marketing board's cotton transactions. A dynamic cotton supply function was estimated and used to compute elasticities. The estimates indicate that farmers in the Country response to price changes and that the pricing policy of the marketing board has been consistent with an objective of generating revenue for the government.
