Abstract

Los precios elevados y los reducidos stocks han dado lugar globalmente a precios de granos y semillas oleaginoasas crecientemente mas volatiles. Algunos analistas opinan que estamos entrando en una nueva etapa de escasez de alimentos y de precios crecientes. Otros interpretan el fuerte alza de los precios como una interrupcion del proceso de declive de precios de largo plazo. En la UE, los pagos desacoplados proporcionan un considerable efecto estabilizador de la renta que ha compensado gran parte del incremento de volatilidad de las recientes campanas, Ek futuro de los pagos desacoplados esta asegurado hasta 2013, pero no esta claro que se mantengan posteriormente. La combinacion de precios altemente volatiles con una reduccion significative de los pagos desacoplados despues de 2013 daria razones para demandar politicas que permitan estabilizar las rentas y favorezcan la gestion de riesgos en la agricultura. Dos aspectos adicionales que guardan relacion con la volatilidad son la politica de bio-combustibles y el impacto de los inversores financieros sobre el funcionamiento de los mercados de materias primas agrarias, y especialmente si la eficacia de instrumentos de gestion de riesgos como los contratos de futuros ha podido resultar danada por la actividad de los inversores...High prices and low stocks have lead to increasingly volatile prices on grain and oilseed markets worldwide. Some analysts believe that we are entering a new era of scarce food and rising prices. Others see the recent sharp increase in prices as yet another interruption in a continuing long-run trend of declining prices. In the EU, decoupled payments provide a considerable amount of income stabilization that has compensated for much of the increased price volatility in recent years. The future of decoupled payments is secure until 2013, but it is not clear whether they can be sustained thereafter. Continued high price volatility combined with a significant reduction in decoupled payments after 2013 would increase calls for improved stabilization and risk management policies in agriculture. Two other important volatility-related issues are the future of bio-fuels policy and the impact of financial investors on agricultural commodity market performance, and especially whether the performance of risk management tools such as futures markets have been impaired by the activity of financial investors.
