Telling The Two Transformations Tale:
Emerging Challenges to Poverty
Reduction
Kostas Stamoulis

Objectives and Structure
• Poverty Focus
• Describe fundamental changes in food systems
• Identify the forces which drive those changes and
the role of trade
• Underline the importance of heterogeneity
• What are emerging challenges for poverty
reduction ?
Transformation and Food
System Changes
• Transformation process: The process in which the
share of agriculture declines in favour of other
sectors
• Changes in Food Systems : the changes in the
organization of food markets at all levels as a result
of changes in demand patterns and technology

Food Systems Changes:
Driving Forces
• Rising incomes
– Diet diversification out of staples (Engels Law, Bennett Law)
• Demographic Shifts
– Urbanization
– Rising food prepaper’s opportunity cost
• Technology
– Transportation and food handling
– Chain management (logistics )
• “Globalization”
– Foreign direct investment (in retail and production)
– Trade liberalization
The “other face “ of globalization
FAO: State of Food Insecurity, 2004
◄
The Emergence of Large Retail
◄
New Rules for a New Game
• Centralization of procurement
– Squeezing of supplier lists
• Shift from spot markets to specialized wholesalers
to guarantee q and q
– New intermediaries and logistics
• Contract farming
– Preference for limited transactions
• Rise of private standards
– Quality, safety not common for internal trade
The contribution of International
trade
• Trade links and interactions have not been
explored in a systematic way
• Trade has not been the primary mover
– Stable shares of imports in total consumption of
dev.ing countries
– Small relative to sales of processed by subsidiaries
– Meat, F and V trade shares in total consumption
unchanged in a 20 years
• The Reardon “U “ hypothesis of the role of trade

Transforming Food Systems :
Challenges for Rural Poverty
Reduction
• Rapid spread of the “chain” model
expected in future
• Competition for market share is at the
chain level ( margins)
• Standards, quality and stability not just for
exports
• More generalized impacts than on small
farmers

Agricultural transformation:
Heterogeneity across production systems
• Increasing scales of production
• Reversal of the farm size productivity
relationship
• Declining competitiveness of marginal
lands
• Increasing risk of biodiversity loss and
environmental sustainability

Conclusions
• Rapid transformations change the balance
of concerns between domestic factors and
international trade.
• Heterogeneity of impacts and focus
• Commodity focus: narrow
• Agriculture focus : narrow
• Up-stream and downstream activities
Conclusions ( cont)
• Under-researched aspects, hard to capture
in global models
• Several policy “prescriptions” overlap
• Balance of awareness much lower.. until
today.

Food System Transformation:
Household Level Heterogeneity
• Access to assets, credit
• Management skills (source of rents)
• Access to services, such as appropriate
production and marketing extension and
technology
• Institutions
• Pluriactivity and Diversification
