Purpose of research: Basic research
Trade liberalization in the context of WTO-agreements is leading to a reduction of market protection and policy interference in agricultural sectors. Further, global population growth results in increasing demand for agricultural commodities as a source for human
food. The changing situation on markets for agricultural commodities is reflected in the development of output prices. Overall, price relations between different agricultural commodities are shifting and might shift further in the future due to changing supply and demand patterns between different agricultural commodities. For example,
oilseeds and corn are important feedstock for the growing bio-fuel industry, resulting in increased demand compared to other agricultural commodities. Given the background of potential changing crop output price relations this thesis aims to analyze the influence of changing output price relations on crop portfolio composition and rotation choice for selected cash crop farms in Canada and Germany.
