英文文献摘要:
The paper examines developments in key markets and value chains in food production in southern Africa in order to evaluate the role of markets and the significance of market power. Rising incomes and urbanisation are driving demand for processedfood across the continent and, without substantial improvements in industrial development in food processing, the trade deficit is set to worsen. The paper draws on a range of research on regional value chains undertaken in recent years along with insights from competition cases to assess issues of competition, market power and industrial policy. The analysis covers key inputs in the form of fertilizer, two important food value chains namely animal feed to poultry, and sugar to confectionary,and developments in wholesale and retail trade. The paper identifies critical implications with regard to regional and international linkages, governance andmarket power, and industrial policy, if an appropriate agenda is to be pursued to shape markets for more inclusive growth.
本论文考察了南部非洲粮食生产中关键市场和价值链的发展,以评估市场的作用和市场力量的重要性。收入增加和城市化正在推动整个非洲大陆对加工食品的需求,如果食品加工行业的工业发展没有显著改善,贸易逆差将进一步恶化。本文借鉴了近年来对区域价值链进行的一系列研究,以及从竞争案例中获得的见解,以评估竞争、市场力量和产业政策等问题。该分析涵盖了化肥形式的关键投入,两个重要的食品价值链,即从动物饲料到家禽,从糖到糖果,以及批发和零售贸易的发展。该报告确定了区域和国际联系、治理和市场力量以及产业政策等方面的关键影响,如果要寻求一种合适的议程来塑造市场以实现更具包容性的增长。
