Investigating Market Integration and Price Transmission of Different Rice Qualities in Iran
Rice production in most of Asian countries has been increased
more rapidly than population and this has been led to increase
in supply and proportionately decrease in the real price of rice in
world and domestic markets. Furthermore, together with growth in
production and national gross income of the country per-capita
income has been increased and also demand for rice at national and
international level quality has been increased. In this case studying
the market conditions of different qualities of rice including marketing
margins, causative relations among the prices, market integrations in
long term and finally price transferring and market integration in
short term is the important consequence that can help policymakers
and planners in their decision makings on research, production, distribution
and marketing of rice strategic product. So, using the
statistics from Jihad Agriculture Organization of Guilan Province in
case of the price of rice qualities (items) including Sadri momtaz
(S1), Sadri darge yek (S2), Sadri mamooli (S3) and Khazar (K1)
during 1999-2009 market conditions of different qualities of rice
was studied. Results show that impulses in wholesale prices in
Khazar rice rapidly influence on-farm prices, however, in case of
other rice qualities the rate and speed of this influence is low. But in
wholesale-retail market for Sadri quality rice impulses influence
strongly in wholesale price and this shows intense integration of
these two rice markets in Iran. It is suggested that according to the

The Relationship between Food Security and Total Factor Productivity in Apple Producers in Semirom
Background: Food security and productivity are very important variables that affect social welfare and production level. Since a large proportion of employees in Semirom are engaged in apple gardening, this study aims to investigate the effect of increasing the productivity of all factors of apple production in improving the level of food security in Semirom city. Methods: In order to answer the research questions, using Cochran's formula, 139 gardeners were selected and the required data were collected through interviews and completing a questionnaire by cluster sampling in 2020. First, the productivity of all factors of production and the level of food security of the surveyed households were measured using the Household Food Insecurity Access (HFIA) index. Results: The results of this analysis showed that gardeners are not in a good food security situation. Then, using Shazam software and estimating the coefficients of the variables in the logit model, the relationship between productivity and food security was investigated. The results showed that productivity had a positive and significant effect on food security of the studied farmers. Based on the final effect, the variables of productivity, income, and savings had the greatest effect on food security of the farmers. In order to create more employment and increase income for gardeners and their families, apple-related processing industries should be established. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that apple gardeners of Semirom do not have good food security. It is recommended that younger people be educated by experienced farmers in the region
