Thismodel must faithfully include current agricultural issues: price volatility,the financialization of the markets and their consequences on food security.The momagri model meets these demands for improved realism. As Edi Karni, Professor at Johns Hopkins University recalled, itis urgent to return to negotiations that finally take full measures for therisks facing agricultural markets.Results of the latest simulations of the momagri modelIn this respect, the latest simulations by the momagri model have shakenthe belief that a conclusion of the Doha Round would benefit all farmers, inparticular, those in developing countries. Worse, they show that completeunregulated liberalization of international agricultural trade could lead to:- a significant reduction in the revenues of farmers from thepoorest countries, (in some scenarios the reduction could be morethan half, and therefore, likely to ruin many farmers in thesecountries)- a lesser underlying reduction, but very significant foremerging importing countries such as India- a significant erosion of the revenues of farmers fromdeveloped countries.

Consequently, instead of encouraging theoptimization of factors of production, it would jeopardizeworldwide food security, as well as the development of manycountries.Only emerging exporting countries, such as Brazil, will be able to comeout unscathed, but without compensating for the general reduction inproduction.About momagrimomagri is a Paris-based think tank that promotes a new vision foragriculture.
