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.

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

Intercropping. Intercropping really increases income.

But chronic hunger remains pervasive, particularly in developing countries, which are affected most by crop shortages and food price volatility.

Investments in agriculture, such as subsidized fertilizers and seeds, increases food harvest and reduces food prices.

Iraq further states that the photographic evidence submitted by Iran shows problems with crops that could possibly have been caused by a variety of factors, including frost, disease, lack of water, etc. Iraq also argues that Iran inappropriately used international market prices for crops in calculating the value of the alleged damage.

Harvest contaminated tobacco.

Harvested (crude value)

(a) Crop production

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.

Sharp changes and long term declines in primary commodity prices have disturbed and undermined the productive activity of crop producers in many developing countries.

In crop production use Reserve

(b) Reduced drop yields

But we saved the crops!

Boosting yields of locally grown staple foods (rather than cash crops) would increase self sufficiency and strengthen resilience when international food prices are high.

In terms of crop management, the options include the development and introduction of tolerant resistant crops, pest and soil studies, better cropping or farming systems, improved irrigation techniques and crop rotation, as well as changes in the timing of planting of crops.

What saved Argentina over the last decade were highly favorable external conditions sky high global commodity prices and technological innovations that greatly increased farm yields.

Crop eradication and alternative development

Extermination of illicit crops

And it will produce a food crop.

Because he was building these crops.

The green areas are the areas we use to grow crops,

We'll have more crops!

Blowing the land away. Blowing the crops away.

Now one third of all arable land is used to grow crops to feed livestock, not to grow staple crops for people.

(d) Efforts to combat pests affecting crops and forest species

Crops have been destroyed, sheep and goats stolen and poisoned.

That stuff gets in the waterways, and there's run off onto the crops, or they're putting feces contaminated water directly onto the crops.

As a result, by 2007, global corn and soybean prices were nearly 6 and 10 lower, respectively, than they would have been had farmers not embraced these crops.

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.

In general, farmers benefit from having an increase in crop yield and from being able to grow a variety of crops throughout the year.

Crops and food supplies have dwindled, leaving nothing but desperation behind.

Together they grow their own food.

Organic material is useful for the agricultural crops, for the people, but also helps the trees.

In the winter they gotta help work on the crops.
