globalization is today a much-used buzzword and triggers different reactions. On the one hand, this term associated expectations in terms of global prosperity and progress. On the other hand, it causes anxiety, particularly unemployment and cuts in social services, from environmental destruction and a world unified culture.
What is Agribusiness?
"Agribusiness or agribusiness called Anglicism (from the English word" agriculture "and" business ") next to agriculture in the upstream and downstream economic activities. Together they form a value chain "(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/agribusiness, Stand: 01.12.07)
." Agribusiness includes the agricultural sector, and all upstream and downstream industrial and service sectors. "(http://agrar.uni-hohenheim.de, Stand: 01.12.07)
These definitions reflect what is globalization.
"Globalization is the process of increasing global interdependence in all areas (economy, culture, environment, communication, etc.). This intensification occurs at the level of individuals, companies, institutions and states. "(Http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/globalisierung, as of 01:12:07)
" Globalization is changing the world economy understood, leading to more cross-border transactions. In the cultural and social areas there is a globalization. " (Http://www.globalisierung-info.de/definition.html, as of 01:12:07)
Several causes lead to globalization.
- Technical progress has reduced the transportation and communication costs.
- progress in the liberalization of international goods and services exchange through GATT rounds and trade agreements. Sun industrial tariffs to below 10 percent have been reduced. Worldwide, it has reduced financial market regulations, so that exchange rates and interest rates can now develop more market-oriented than before. Advances in technology have combined with the liberalization Created increased opportunity for companies to operate in international markets.
- carry as much political events to this. The disappearance of the Soviet bloc allowed economic activities with the Eastern European countries.
globalization leads to significant changes in the global economy. Markets are merging to become larger.
episodes occur in different areas. The globalization of the labor market is no longer regional, but limited global. The result is an enormous increase in labor supply. The labor is cheaper in many areas of the world als in Westeuropa. ( à Billiglohnländer)
Auf dem Gütermarkt führt Globalisierung zu einem größeren Angebot und zu niedrigeren Preisen. Oft können Firmen in den Industrieländern dem Druck nicht mehr standhalten und müssen ihr Handeln anpassen und wandern in Billiglohnländern ab.
Die Gefahr für die Umwelt geht mit dem Wachstum der Weltwirtschaft einher. Schwellenländer ist die Notwendigkeit von Umweltschutz noch unbekannt, bzw. ordnen diesem eine untergeordnete Bedeutung zu.
Die Globalisierung hat auch den Agrarbereich erreicht. Besonders bei verarbeiteten Lebensmitteln. Produktdifferenzierung, sinkende Durchschnittskosten production and the desire of the imperfect competition cause. companies have the opportunity to invest in other countries, lower transportation and communication costs make it cost effective. In addition, demand from consumers, such as coffee, fresh fruit, vegetables and other products at any time available.
In the field of ocean freight costs fell by 65%. The cost of air transportation decreased significantly. Similarly, the costs fell dramatically for telecommunications. Communication in 2005 was more affordable than ever before.
These savings allow companies and promote a simple and inexpensive "(Together) work" with the or abroad.
in the use of computers and appropriate software can be concluded that almost all the training facilities in Baden-Württemberg is already using a computer, 70% of them have more than 10 years, are provided. 60% of the companies even have multiple computers. The spreadsheet takes a high application. Graphics programs and databases play in comparison, a relatively minor role.
Looking at the Internet use it is found that this is mainly used for the Internet care as well as for communication. The Internet use for the conduct of business is playing with 70% of farms a major role.
The extent of globalization can be seen from the importance of direct investment and trade.
Globalisation brings both advantages and disadvantages.
Globalization provides the opportunity to conduct international trade. Countries and regions now have better opportunities to sell their products and promote the development of the economy. This multi-prosperity. For consumers, there are also quite personal, tangible benefits: You can buy fresh fruit throughout the year, there are coffee and tea. The world is a result of air traffic moved closer together and there is the opportunity to travel the world or anywhere in the world, because of communications technology to make phone calls or use other techniques.
However, globalization also has its dark side. Globalization demand on the adaptability of many people. Workers and entrepreneurs do not make it accessible not to adapt, or them is difficult.
To conclude that it is globalization a process and not a state that is favored by several factors.
Even the agricultural sector is affected. Mechanization of Betriebe, geringere Zölle und anderes. Die Globalisierung bringt sowohl Vor- als auch Nachteile mit sich. Es ist ein Prozess, der weiterhin anhalten wird.
