Key problems arising from price vola/lity
Risk and Uncertainty • Uncertain incomes and profits for growers • May limit capital investment by poorer farmers which then harms produc/vity and real wages
Risk of extreme poverty and unemployment • Millions of smaller farmers suffer -‐ least resilient • Many do not gain when world prices eventually rise
Macroeconomic effects • Vola/le export revenues affects na/on’s trade balance • Especially the case where primary product dependence is high • Higher prices can cause infla/on and extreme food poverty

Problems in using buffer stocks for commodi/es such as cocoa
Buffer stock may not be large enough to change price
High interven/on price leads to rising producer surpluses
Expensive to buy up the surpluses – might cause big losses
Costs of storage and falling quality of product
Might be befer alterna/ve long run policies for farmers
