Price policies and agricultural supply : the responses of producers in Haryana (India)
India is undertaking a process of liberalization of the agricultural sector as part of a structural adjustment program. But several question arise: can farmers react positively to a change in price policies which implies higher price fluctuation? Will these policies increase structural problems? Will they have a positive or negative impact on food security? A mathematical model is used to simulate farmers reactions to some agricultural policy scenarios. The results show that the positive response to a liberal scenario will depend for each region on the agrotechnical possibilities to take advantage of the changes in prices, which might increase disparities between regions.
