Chapter 20 - International trade. In this chapter we will take a look at some key facts about international trade and then start evaluating international trade using comparative advantage. We will also use demand and supply curves to explain how countries determine which goods they will import, which goods they will export, and the price that is charged for these goods. Lastly we will look at trade barriers and how they impact the outcomes of international trade. | Agriculture: Economics and Policy Chapter 20 Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.

In this chapter, we start by looking at the economics of agriculture, investigating the elasticity of demand and price trends of agricultural goods. We will then examine reasons that the farming industry has been declining, using supply and demand analysis to explain this as well as the repercussions of the changes in the market. We will also discuss the types and outcomes of government intervention and recent changes in farm policy.

Firms can be small, family-based farms, or large, multi-national conglomerates. Some products benefit from government support, while others must fend for themselves. Agriculture also includes both farm commodities, which are raw materials, and food products that are sold through restaurants or grocery stores. While agriculture remains a profitable industry, it is a declining industry, especially in the realm of the smaller operations. There are some serious issues in the industry. It suffers frequently from short-run price and income instability, which may prevent firms from entering the market. One major cause of the instability is the . industry’s dependence on world markets. Many agricultural products come from other nations, which means the . industry is sensitive to changes in those markets.
