Iran estimates the alleged reduction in crop quality by comparing crop prices in the Southern Provinces in 1991 with national crop prices.

The Panel notes that, although loss in quality could reduce the prices of crops, crop prices can fluctuate for a variety of other reasons related to the economics of supply and demand.

The European Union also contributes to low cotton prices, paying farmers in Greece about 1 billion a year to grow the crop at a loss.

Not only would this reduce hunger by increasing food production and lowering food prices it would also protect biodiversity, because higher crop productivity would mean less deforestation.

For each crop, Iran calculates the compensation sought for the decreased quality by multiplying the difference between the local and national prices by the quantity produced in 1991.

The crop prices used by Iran in calculating the value of lost crops are not appropriate for estimating the value of crops that were not, in fact, produced.

These include crop rotation, increased crop diversification, and introducing integrated pest management systems.

In the view of the Panel, an appropriate assessment of loss suffered by Iran as a result of reductions in crop quality can only be made on the basis of a statistical analysis that is capable of controlling for all the supply and demand factors that can affect crop prices.

In addition, the crop prices used by Iran include transportation and market costs that could not have been incurred since the lost crops were neither harvested nor transported to the market.

Now they are showing a new respect for tillers of the land, realizing that the fastest way out of extreme poverty for ordinary people is to increase both farm output and crop prices.

Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) is a software system that integrates crop growth models with crop, weather and soil data and estimates potential changes in crop yields and water use.

The old tool for managing farmers risks is crop insurance, which responds directly to the failure of a crop.

This is why private crop insurers are in short supply, and why crop insurance often requires expensive government subsidies.

Africa Increases in food and fertilizer prices have underlined the vulnerability of poor urban and rural households in many developing countries, especially in Africa, renewing policymakers' focus on the need to increase staple food crop productivity.

The winds destroyed much of the corn crop, about half of the peach crop, and about 1.5 million bushels of apples.

The tomato crop is of good quality.

The oilseed crop comprises three essential parts.

The farmer may neglect the crop or refuse to invest in saving a failing crop if he knows that a payout is forthcoming.

Crop diversity can also deliver important ecosystem benefits.

The moral hazard implicit in crop insurance can be addressed by making payouts depend not on the actual crop failure but on the bad weather that caused it.

Iran estimates its crop losses by comparing the actual production of each crop in each of the affected provinces during 1991 with the expected production of those crops, based on a statistical analysis of crop yields over a period of 11 years from 1986 to 1996.

In southern Ghana, for example, farmers have managed to reduce crop failures arising from rainfall variability and unpredictability by cultivating several drought tolerant types of the same crop species.

Their primary crop was corn, the major part of their diet.

Producing it in a form that can interface with databases of United Nations entities and non governmental organizations, for example, in terms of population numbers, social structure, main crop types, market prices and infrastructural detail, ensures that it can be used to best effect.

The establishment of a network of regional illicit crop monitoring experts based in Afghanistan, Myanmar and Peru contributed to the effective implementation of the illicit crop monitoring programme in the field.

The farmer may even plant a crop that he knows will fail.

Other negative effects of climate change include possible reductions in crop yields.
