| Abstract: | This flash presents the perspectives of economic agents active in agricultural marketing of the 2007/2008 crop year
compared to previous years. According to the agents interviewed, the current marketing season can be characterized
by the following: 1) poor production and low yields for maize, beans, and other crops; 2) early start to the
marketing season ; 3) very high prices at the beginning and increases during the period when prices usually decline;
4) strong competition between the formal and informal private sector agents particularly in areas with cell phone
coverage; 5) active markets along the routes with best access and with good communication and transport networks;
and 6) new economic agents (animal ration industry growing; new maize mills, new export alternatives, local
purchase for food aid). With these observations, the agents predict high prices into the future. |
