Document Summary

Intervention in markets for farm products take two main forms: production quotas, subsidies. A production quota is an upper limit to the quantity of a good that may be produced during a specified period. A subsidy is a payment made by the government to a producer. With no quota, the price is a tonne and 16 million tonnes a year are produced. With the production quota of 14 million tonnes a year, quantity decreases to 14 million tonnes a year. The market price rises to a tonne and marginal cost falls to a tonne. At the quantity produced: marginal social benefit equal market price, which has increased, marginal social cost has decreased. Production is inefficient and producers have an incentive to cheat. With no subsidy, the price is a tonne and 40 million tonnes a year are produced.
