How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Abstract The demand for LiOH is driven by the growth of the electric vehicle industry. Evaporative crystallization of LiOH·H2O is energy intensive, whereas ethanol‐based antisolvent crystallization has emerged as a more sustainable alternative. From a process design perspective, the crystallization yield depends on the ethanol dosage, and thermodynamic
