The data comes from Central Bank of Nigeria annual reports and statement of account, National Bureau of Statistics＇ abstract of statistics and annual Agricultural survey manual. The data are analyzed using autoregressive distributed lag and cointegration and error correction models. The results indicate that producers are responsive not only to price but also to price risk and exchange rate.展开更多

Efficient use of inputs has been one of the key objectives of agricultural policies in all over the world. Therefore, studies continue about production of new seeds with high yield and resist to diseases. The 66.7% of the total seed production in Turkey are met by the private sector （hybrid sunflower, corn, potato, soybean, cotton and vegetable seed）. And 53.4% of the total sunflowers in Turkey are grown in Thrace region. It is therefore appropriate to be selected as the research area. In this regard, the aim of this study was to examine the dynamics in seed sector and particularly investigate the sunflower seed purchasing behavior of farmers with special attention to Thrace region. As a methodology, 198 questionnaires which pursued sunflower farm activities in the region were utilized. As a result of the descriptive statistics, it could be concluded that almost 20% of seed supply in Turkey is imported and that 70%-80% of it is directly used as an “input” for growing vegetative products and the remaining is used as “intermediate goods” for growing “certified seeds” for domestic or international markets.展开更多

However, there has been a significant level of decrease in the production of these fibers for many years. The factors mainly causing this decrease can be said to include rapid increase in the use of chemical fibers, changes in fashion which have negative impacts on the consumption these fibers and systematic problems which negatively affect the production of sheep, Angora goat, hair goat and silkworm. However although the production resources are continuing to decrease, Turkey still has a significant level of animal fiber production potential. Attainment of a more effective utilization of this potential will significantly contribute to the establishment of a sustainable textile industry and rural development and the preservation and development of folkloric culture and native farm animals which produce fibers.展开更多
