Conference Papers & Reports
Thailand, Asia, South-Eastern Asia
For more than two decades Thailand has built up an intensive and highly profitable cassava processing and export industry, mainly due to favorable price and quota policy regimes with the European Community (EC). During the 1980`s however, internal EC political pressure has attempted to reduce Thai pellet imports through various measures. Moreover, in 1993 internal EC grain prices were lowered substantially, thereby reducing the relative price advantages of Thai cassava as energy substitute.

This monograph examines the construction, operation and maintenance tasks that shape the nature of locally managed irrigation systems. The objective of the book is to identify relevant experiences and lessons for staff who are responsible for working with locally managed systems in three types of programs: direct assistance to existing locally managed irrigation systems, turnover of public owned systems to local management, and transfer of partial management to farmer groups within larger systems that remain publicly controlled.

Frontier areas in Latin America have been characterized by land speculation, abandonment and exploitation. This paper analyzes a frontier cattle ranching area in the savanna where intensification has occurred in spite of land speculation. A whole farm livestock production model is used to quantify the determinants of intensification. Results show that land speculation has simultaneously increased the profitability of cattle ranching while slowing down intensification and impeding the adoption of sustainable practices.
