“…Usually the producers' low income and market fluctuations lead to price instability, which generally impedes the growth of grains market. Consequently, producers oriented to commodity markets tend to be more focused on the commodity price risk and potential hedging activities (Rusnakova, 2015;Yu et al, 2016). Source: USDA, 2017.…”

Information on the linkage between production costs and market price of wheat allows farmers to forecast the direction of the market price and reduce the immanent business risks on the farm -whether to sell before harvest, immediately after harvest or to store and sell later. The paper is in line with the hypothesis that market price for storable agricultural products has empirically confirmed bottom limit. If the market price reaches the level of operating costs, farmers will stop sales and store their product in anticipation of a higher price in the near future. This behavior is based on the premise that supply shortage will stop further decline in wheat price. The results of the analysis indicate a strong positive correlation between operating costs and market price of wheat. This indicator allows forecast of the future wheat price behavior and timely decision on the appropriate price risk hedging strategy.

“…In light of regulatory and geopolitical influences, a cautious evaluation of the queer gaming market is warranted. During 2017 and 2018, several queer men-focused mobile games were developed in partnership with Blued (Cao, 2018; Li, 2017; Yu, 2017). However, none of these games has gained market success.…”

Transgressive Play and the Inherent Limits of Business Growth for China’s LGBTQ Platforms: The Case of a Social Game in Aloha

Since 2016, China’s online LGBTQ platforms, such as Blued and Aloha, have been seeking to increase user acquisition and retention by introducing new functionalities to their interfaces. Although these attempts were promising at first, most of their endeavors proved unsustainable, largely due to the condition in which their businesses operate: a niche audience segment in a winner-take-all mobile market and a highly regulatory market in which LGBTQ content is often made a site for the execution of power. This article investigates the now-defunct role-playing social game Werewolf embedded in Aloha, one of the popular dating apps for queer men in China. By bringing together scholarship on game studies and queer media studies, it is argued that social games embedded in dating apps foster a new form of sexual sociality in which desires become increasingly gamified and intimacy networked, which are essential for queer social media to retain users. Although Werewolf was ultimately closed due to Aloha’s budgetary controls, queer players have emerged as a promising market for their unique engagement in social games. LGBTQ platforms, however, are not the main beneficiary of the queer gaming market because of the winner-take-all mobile ecosystem. The article highlights the inherent limits of “outward” expansion of China’s LGBTQ platforms into the mainstream market and suggests that prioritizing the unaddressed needs of their niche audience through an inward approach may be a more viable strategy for business growth in a mobile ecosystem dominated by a handful of major players.
