Acreage response before and after the deregulation of the South African maize industry : the role of SAFEX in price discovery and price risk managment

Includes abstract.~Includes bibliographical references (leaves 39-41). / The withdwal of the Maize Board in 1996 meant that farmers could no longer rely on their pre-planting price or "voorskat" for price discovery and price risk management. Some have claimed (UNCTAD, 2007) that the South African Futures Exchange (SAFEX) can provide these functions. We test this claim and analyse the impliacation of it.
