Food price stability and interventions: a new government posture

Fernando Homem de Melo ()

Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 1986, vol. 6, issue 3, 359-369

Abstract: ln this paper we argue for the introduction of a more stable agricultural policy,particularly in terms of governmental interventions in the functioning of the several marketsfor agricultural products as compared to the pattern of such interventions in the recentpast. Such greater stability is characterized in two levels. First, a price policy for domesticcrops, including buffer stocks, minimum prices and ceiling prices which would indicate themoments for acquisitions to and selling from stocks. Second, for exported crops, a newapproach to the practice of commercial policy, especially involving exports less subject togovernmental restrictions. JEL Classification: Q11; Q17.
