3 Introduction This paper is part of the Dfid-ESRC funded project Assessing contribution of Dairy Sector to Economic Growth and Food Security in Malawi ( ). Dairy is a key investment sector for the Government of Malawi. Nevertheless, consumption of milk products in Malawi remains very low, estimated at 4-6 kg/capita/year. Most dairy (smallholder) farmers are situated around the three large cities in Malawi: Blantyre (the Southern Region), Lilongwe (Central Region) and Mzuzu (the Northern Region). Based on the recent information received from sources at Bunda College of Agriculture, there are currently around 9,584 dairy farmers in three milk producing regions of Malawi, with 61% of them located in the Southern region. 3 3
4 Background Number of dairy cows. Several estimations. The Malawi Food Security Bulletin (2009) reported a total of 35,594 dairy cattle in the formal and informal sectors. Milk production. According to the figures from the 3 main milk producing associations in Malawi in 2012, smallholders produced around 13.5 million litres of milk of which, approximately 90% of which was produced in the Southern region. Marketing channels. Two channels: formal and informal. The two channels differ in the way milk reaches the final consumer. In the formal sector, milk is processed and sold to the consumer via retail outlets, whereas in the informal sector milk is sold raw. Note that informal vendors procure their milk in several forms. 4 4
5 Background Milk bulking groups (MBGs). These are local farmer associations and belong to the regional milk producers association and are around the three major cities (Blantyre, Lilongwe and Mzuzu). They have cooling centres where farmers within a radius of 8-10 km deliver their milk to keep it cool. According to the most recent data there are currently approximately 54 registered MBGs in Malawi selling milk in bulk to the dairy processors. The Shire Highlands Milk Producers Association (SHMPA) in the Southern Region has 25 mbgs (46%). The Central Region Milk Producers Association (CREMPA) has 17 mbgs (32%). The Mpoto Dairy Farmers Association (MDFA) (North)12 mbgs (22%). 5 5
6 Background Processors. The formal milk processing sector is currently dominated by 3 main dairy processing plants Lilongwe Dairies, Dairibord Malawi and Suncrest Creameries, situated around the cities of Blantyre and Lilongwe. In 2012 Lilongwe Dairies represented about 54.3% of the milk collections, Dairiboard Malawi (30.7%) and Suncrest Creameries (11.9%). Their main products are pasteurised milk, flavoured and plain yoghurt (chambiko), cream, butter and cheese. As of 2012 estimations indicate that processors operate with about 50% idle capacity. 6 6
7 Responsiveness of milk deliveries to changes in the prices A statistical analysis was carried out which indicated that farmers supply of milk is price responsive. The price elasticity of the supply in the short term is equal to 0.6 whilst in the long term is This indicates that farmers revenues not only benefit from an increase in the price of milk but also from the increase in the quantity produced. An increase in 1% in the real price would increase revenues by 2.45%. In practice, the nominal price of milk is infrequently adjusted by processors and the its value in real terms is eroded until the next adjustment. 7 7

Based on estimates by Revoredo-Giha et al (2013), in the long-run a 1% real price increase gives 1.4% milk delivery increase and 2.45% in farm revenue. 8 8
9 Purpose and research questions Given the evolution of the real prices for milk, an statistical analysis was carried out to study its effects on the collection of milk by processors. Purpose of the paper To study the responsiveness of the deliveries of milk at the milk bulking groups to changes in the price paid to farmers by processors (i.e., the elasticity of supply faced by each processor). Specific research questions Is the supply of milk at the MBG price responsive? Are there differences between the response that each processor face? Is there any asymmetric effect in the supply response to increases and decreases in the real price received by farmers? 9 9
10 Data for the analysis The dataset used for the analysis was constructed based on the monthly reports produced by the Shire Highlands Milk Producers Association (SHMPA). SHMPA provides information of farmers deliveries to milk bulking groups (MBGs) associated to the main Malawian dairy processors: Dairibord Malawi Limited, Lilongwe Dairies Limited, Suncrest Creameries Limited and Sable Farming Company and to small processors (named as Others ). They cover the period September 2008 until July The analysis was focused only on the Southern region due to the fact that prices paid to farmer were only available for this region. This is not so important for providing an analysis of the Malawian milk supply because as according USAID (2012c), SHMPA represents 89.2 per cent of the total
11 Data for the analysis The dataset comprised: The monthly quantity of milk delivered by farmers to the different milk bulking group; The prices paid by processors to the milk bulking group; The price received by farmers and the total discounts applied to milk prices

15 Econometrics The model used to estimate the supply response was the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model (NARDL), which follows the work of Shin et al. (2011). The starting point is asymmetric the long-run regression: 15 15
16 Econometrics As shown in Shin et al (2011) from a nonlinear ARDL(p,q) model such as (5): It can be derived a nonlinear error correction model such as (6): Where 0, + and - are the asymmetric long-run parameters, the others are parameters characterizing the short term dynamics. Equation (6) can be estimated by ordinary least squares (OLS) and cointegration tested using a Wald F test of the null hypothesis = + = - =0 and using the bounds testing approach of Shin et al. (2011)

19 Conclusions Four factors should be noted from the outset: 1. Each company seems to face their own dynamic (differences in their MBGs). 2. All the estimated supply showed strong trends. 3. The presence of some seasonal effect. 4. There are some specific shocks that affect the supplies of milk from MBGs. For most of the supply equations these values fluctuate around , i.e., the first period (month) 45 per cent of the disequilibrium is corrected (Dairiboard being -0.43, Lilongwe Dairies -0.46, Sable Farming and Others -0.47) being the exception Suncrest Creameries which is The response of the milk deliveries to changes in the price were found asymmetric for all the companies
20 Conclusions Dairibord - The long term effect of prices indicates little impact of an increase in price and a strong elastic effect to a decrease in price (i.e., 1.13). For Dairibord is better by avoid its price to drop in real terms due to the effect on its milk supply. Lilongwe Dairies - An increase in the real price by 1% improves the supply by 1.2%, whilst the decrease in the price in real terms has a minor effect on the supply. This indicates that Lilongwe Dairies can actually adjust its price sporadically without major effect (ceteris paribus). Suncrest Creameries - The effect of an increase in the price by 1% duplicates the milk supply (the coefficient is equal to 2) and the effect of a decrease is smaller but also elastic (i.e., 1.68). The company benefits by not letting the real price paid dropping
