  1. Market Manipulations 90651 Explain how market forces affect supply and demand of primary products

  2. What you need to be able to do… • Evaluate interactions between market forces operating on a primary product and its market. (standard) • Evaluate and compare the effects of market manipulation on supply through: • Political intervention • Grower Organisations

  3. Market manipulations Political Intervention • Trade barriers • A country will not accept another country’s primary products because they wish to maintain their own production without competition. • Trade barriers may be imposed for biosecurity reasons.

  4. Market manipulations Quotas • The maximum quantity of primary product which will be accepted by an importing country. To protect home producers. • E.g. the EC (European Community) will only accept a specified quantity of butter and meat each year from NZ. These have to be negotiated at regular intervals.

  5. Market manipulations • Incentive grants and subsidies • Tax concessions e.g. tax concessions in the crop establishment period • International Commodity agreements e.g. GATT and CER

  6. Producer Boards / Grower Organisations • Producer organisations can affect the demand for a product in several ways. E.g. • Reduction of competition • Establishment of new markets • Deregulation • Marketing co-ops – benefits of amalgamation e.g. the dairy boards • Research and development

  7. Comparing political and grower intervention • Political constraints: • Political intervention occurs through legislation in parliament and is carried out by government departments • The major difference between political and grower intervention is that growers usually have to fit into the political constraints (limits)
