shocks Explanation: "When prices fluctuate substantially, even if they are tolerable on average, the short-term shocks make both smallholder farmers and poor consumers vulnerable to long-term poverty traps. In addition, smallholder farmers find it difficult to invest when price changes are unpredictable" http://www.fao.org/3/a-i2330e.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2020-07-01 16:46:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think your text is referring to "price shocks".

Technically, it is an unpredictable change in exogenous factors — that is, factors unexplained by economics — which may influence endogenous economic variables." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(economics) |
