This study quantifies the relationship between Tanzanian and external maize markets while also accounting for domestic influences. It concludes that external influences on domestic prices originate from regional, rather than global, markets. It also shows that, compared to external factors, domestic factors exert a greater influence on Tanzanian maize markets. Further, the mechanisms through which trade policies influence maize markets involve interactions with both external market shocks and domestic weather shocks. Overall, it provides evidence that the intermittent imposition of export bans in Tanzania has had adverse impacts on its maize markets, and consequently, on the development of its agrarian economy.Date

Boom, Bust and Up Again? Evolution, Drivers and Impact of Commodity Prices: Implications for IndonesiaWorld Bank (World Bank, Jakarta, 2013-04-30)Indonesia is one of the largest commodity exporters in the world, and given its mineral potential and expected commodity price trends, it could and should expand its leading position. Commodities accounted for one fourth of Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and more than one fifth of total government revenue in 2007. The potential for further commodity growth is considerable. Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world (export earnings totaled almost US$9 billion in 2007 and employment 3.8 million full-time jobs) and the sector has good growth prospects. It is also one of the countries with the largest mining potential in view of its second-largest copper reserves and third-largest coal and nickel reserves in the world. This report consists of seven chapters. The first six chapters present an examination and an analysis of the factors driving increased commodity prices, price forecasts, economic impact of commodity price increases, effective price stabilization policies, and insights from Indonesia's past growth experience. The final chapter draws on the findings of the previous chapters and suggests a development strategy for Indonesia in the context of high commodity prices. This section summarizes the contents of the chapters and their main findings.

Reducing Distortions in International Commodity Markets : An Agenda for Multilateral CooperationHoekman, Bernard; Martin, Will (2012-03-19)Global commodity markets are affected by
 a variety of government policies that may expand or lower
 overall supply and as a result affect world prices for the
 specific products concerned. Market failures and market
 structures (market power along the value chain) also affect
 supply. This paper briefly reviews a number of factors that
 may distort international commodity markets with a view to
 identifying elements of an agenda for multilateral
 cooperation to reduce such distortions. Much of the policy
 agenda that arises is domestic and requires action by
 national governments. But numerous policies -- or absence of
 policy -- generate international spillovers that call for
 the negotiation of international policy disciplines.
 Independent of whether distortions are local or
 international in scope, the complexity of prevailing market
 structures and their impacts on efficiency call for much
 greater monitoring and analysis by the international community.
