Impacts of feed ingredient subsidy removal and concurrent trade liberalization in Tunisia
研究通过线性规划模型模拟突尼斯取消饲料原料补贴并同时推进贸易自由化对私营部门的影响,发现补贴取消会提高饲料粮价格,但若结合贸易自由化则影响减弱,长期可提升饲料粮、替代品及畜牧生产效率。
This article summarizes findings from a recent agricultural policy study examining the impacts of trade liberalization and removal of feed ingredient subsidies in Tunisia. A linear programming model was used to simulate private sector response to these policy changes. Increased feedgrain prices result from subsidy removal but effects are lessened if subsidy removal is coupled with trade liberalization. Induced long-term effects are improved efficiency in production of feedgrains, feedgrain substitutes, and livestock.
