Market Risk Factors Analysis on Public-Private Partnerships in the Livestock Sector

Currently, the projects that can be carried out through Public Private Partnerships in the livestock sector are under the influence of specific market risk factors, with a great impact on the efficiency of public or private investments and their success. This research aims to analyze some of the market risk factors that affect the organization and operation of Public Private Partnerships in the livestock sector. Therefore, the paper seeks to obtain the answer to the question: What is the way in which market factors influence the functionality of Public Private Partnerships? In this context, we considered necessary and appropriate to achieve a comparative analysis of the main indicators in the field of demand, supply and prices of livestock products in Romania, EU 27 average and some EU developed countries. The data were provided by Eurostat, AgriData and Faostat and cover the period 2014-2022. The analysis of available data for the period 2014-2022 suggests that fluctuations in the supply, demand and prices of livestock products can be considered factors affecting the functionality of PPPs, through two-way transmission mechanisms. This can help in developing more robust strategies and policies for managing risks and capitalizing on opportunities within Public Private Partnerships.
