Title
Cut in inputs would threaten economy.
Article Type
Multi Paragraph Article
Text
Reducing the use of chemical inputs in farming could have a negative
effect, not just on agriculture but on national economies, and is
unlikely to bring major environmental benefits. Moreover, it would
not contribute to food quality and could encourage natural toxins
which threaten human health, reports the British Agrochemicals
Association.
Research carried out by Professor Michael Schmitz of Giessen
University and Dr Monika Hartmann of the University of Frankfurt on
the effects of reducing inputs in Germany, found that a 50%
reduction in nitrogen application could result in short-term yield
reductions of 18%-25%, depending on the crop. Banning pesticide use
would cut yields by between 23%-35%, while banning both pesticides
and mineral fertilisers would lead to reductions of between 35%-47%.
A ban on agrochemical use would also lead to structural changes,
they say. For example, the German cereal area would decline from 56%
to 38% of the total farmed area, and farm incomes would fall by
about 50%.
Furthermore, a 95% cut in pesticide and fertiliser inputs would
result in a 36% reduction of total Germany production. It would be
accompanied by job losses totalling 183,000 in agriculture, with
more than 400,000 losses across the whole economy. Germany's
importance in world trade would decline, with exports falling by 50%
and imports rising by 30%.
Environmentally, there would be some benefit from the reduced use of
inputs, admits the research. However, as restrictions become
tighter, the costs of environmental agricultural policies rise
disproportionately to the benefits. A small reduction in inputs is
more likely to bring a good level of environmental benefit without
huge costs to the economy, concludes the research.

Title
World wheat output up 5 million tonnes.
Article Type
Multi Paragraph Article
Text
World wheat output in 1997 is forecast to total 585m tonnes, 5m
tonnes higher than in 1996, indicate the first detailed estimates
from the International Grains Council (IGC).
Total EU production is forecast at 100.6m tonnes, up from 99.4m
tonnes in 1996. The increase is largely due to a rise in the planted
area, with average yields not expected to match those of 1996. In
France, wheat plantings are up 3.6% at around 4.9m ha. Crops in the
UK are well established. Frosty weather has slowed plant
establishment, but helped to contain pest populations.
US production is forecast to rise from 62.1m tonnes to 63m tonnes,
despite a 7% decline in the winter wheat area (see ASI, January
17th, p 6). Overall, if "normal" growing conditions persist, 1997
could see production sustained in the EU and the US and a recovery
in output in Russia and the Ukraine. However, these gains could be
partly offset by smaller crops in Argentina, Canada, China and
Australia, says the IGC.
