description

Rainfall has been an unpredictable element in agricultural production for long, the farmer has to depend on the vagaries of nature to sustain his crops. The Indian subcontinent receives its rainfall from the south-west (summer) monsoon during June-September with very little rainfall in winter. June and July thus become crucial months for sowing the summer crop, which accounts for 50% of total agriculture input. Any deficit here will affect all the summer crops like groundnuts, cotton, sugarcane, kharif rice and soybeans. Experience and theory suggest that commodity prices and weather indices do not correlate well in a local area. This makes it virtually impossible to manage weather risk with a price hedge. There are no physical markets in weather. Moreover weather risk is localized and beyond human control Weather insurance often has failed because of inherent defects in its planning. We study the impact of weather i.e. rainfall on agricultural production and thus by extension the prices, and the GDP. Our results through ADF co-integration analysis indicate a short term relationship between the factors but there seems to be no convergence among these factors in the long term.

AGRICULTURE IN INDIA

• India sustains 16% of the world’s population on 2.4% of land resource

• Agriculture contributes 24% of the Indian GDP• Employment to 57% of work force• Single largest private sector occupation• Raw material source to large number of industries

like (textiles, silk, sugar, rice, flour mills, milk products)

Objectives of Study

• To measure and analyze the impact of weather on commodity prices.

• Measure the degree of weather risk inherent on commodity prices and consequent linkages to inflation, exchange rates and GDP

• Our recommendations

Methodology• Five major crops were selected namely

rice , wheat , cotton ,sugar and oilseeds.• Index numbers of prices and production

has been taken for these commodities as proxy for commodity prices and production

• Actual Rainfall as % of Normal Rainfall has been taken

• Co-Integration Model has been used to examine cause-effect relationship.

Risk in Agriculture

Dependence on Weather

• Up to 80% of variability in crop yields is attributed to weather

• Less than 40% of net sown area is irrigated• Most irrigation from non-perennial sources• Extreme Weather Events in India (cold wave,

drought, fog, heat wave, tropical cyclones, floods)• Dwindling ground water resources

OLS Model & Co-Integration Model Results

OLS MODEL shows that there is significant relationship in both cases for the sample of all five commodity.

Co-integration Model show that there does not exists a equilibrium between price, rainfall and production.

Co-integration Model show that there exists a equilibrium between GDP, price, rainfall and production in case of Rice, sugarcane and wheat.

Inference• High degree of co-relation between

commodity prices, rainfall and production of commodity. – In the case of cotton (45.66) and

oilseeds(51.7) it is less• In the case of Price, Rainfall and

production only oilseeds is co-integrated. This indicates a convergence in spite of a low co-relation among them.

• The reduced dependence on the rainfall aided by bumper production probably results in the lag effects on the macroeconomic factors.

• The development of instruments (insurance, weather derivative) which reduced the risk which will influence the prices.

• Need to design weather risk insurance models and strengthened the weather derivative to trickle down the risk.

• In the case of GDP, Price, Rainfall and production Sugar and cotton is co-integrated. This indicates a convergence in spite of a low co-relation among them.

• Study shows that there is high impact of rainfall over production and Prices.

• Lack/excess Rainfall can create a supply shock.
