第八單元農(nóng)業(yè)經(jīng)濟(jì)
A課
農(nóng)業(yè)前景一片大好
盡管最近有諸多不確定性，但是“上升”則完完全全代表向上。一位來(lái)自愛(ài)荷華州的研究員認(rèn)為，農(nóng)業(yè)至少在未來(lái)十年都會(huì)呈現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng)態(tài)勢(shì)。
農(nóng)業(yè)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)教授Wally Huffman和農(nóng)業(yè)與生命科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的知名教授Charles F. Curtiss
判斷，農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)的供應(yīng)量將走高，需求也會(huì)上漲，谷物和油料種子的實(shí)際價(jià)格也將走高。
Huffman說(shuō)：“我對(duì)下一個(gè)十年充滿信心”。
Huffman已于上個(gè)月將他的報(bào)告遞交給了位于法國(guó)巴黎的世界經(jīng)濟(jì)合作組織。世界經(jīng)合組織和愛(ài)荷華農(nóng)業(yè)研究站對(duì)他的研究結(jié)果表示贊同。
Huffman研究的重點(diǎn)之一就是農(nóng)產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量的長(zhǎng)期走勢(shì)，具體包括愛(ài)荷華的谷物和大族御豆、堪薩斯州和法國(guó)的小麥、日本的稻米以及荷蘭的土豆。Huffman對(duì)這些農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的趨勢(shì)做了仔細(xì)的研究并對(duì)下一個(gè)十年做出預(yù)測(cè)。
首先，自信來(lái)自于農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)者。
他表示：“目前，谷物和大豆的價(jià)格大約比兩年前上漲了一半， 所以目前算是相對(duì)比較好的價(jià)格了。這對(duì)于生產(chǎn)谷物的農(nóng)民而言是利好。兆族巖”
市場(chǎng)對(duì)生物燃油不斷增長(zhǎng)的需求對(duì)于農(nóng)產(chǎn)品市場(chǎng)的影響目前并不十分明朗。但是，可以肯定的是，如果沒(méi)有生物燃油，谷物和油料籽的價(jià)格肯定沒(méi)有過(guò)去高。
“總體而言，對(duì)于農(nóng)民而言，生物燃油很可能是一大利好”，Huffman表示。
