Synopsis (short abstract) The Russian Federation and Ukraine are major global suppliers of cereals and sunflower oil, while the Russian Federation is also a leading exporter of fertilizers and energy. Due to the devastating war in Ukraine, global prices for these commodities have reached record highs. FAO Markets and Trade Division, with the FAO Investment Centre and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, have published this study on the potential impact of the war in Ukraine on food security and agrifood trade in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia. Beyond a detailed analysis of how the war in Ukraine affects these countries, the report also contains a set of key policy recommendations to help governments cope with the unfolding situation and improve food security in the medium and long term. This publication is part of the Knowledge for Investment (K4I) series managed by FAO Investment Centre.

    The Grain Chain
    Food Security and Managing Wheat Imports in Arab Countries
    2012
    Also available in:
    Arab countries face a number of food security risks due to their high dependence on wheat imports. This study explores ways in which countries can mitigate these risks. The authors evaluate the wheatimport supply chain (WISC) from the unloading port to bulk storage at the flour mill, before the wheat is milled into flour. Existing literature treats isolated topics related to the supply chain, such as strategic storage and the use of financial instruments. This study is unique in that it takes a holistic view of the supply chain by examining how strategic storage, logistics improvements, and procurement strategies can all be used to improve food security.

    No results found.
    In the Near East and North Africa (NENA) Region, food imports are needed to meet more than 50 percent of total food requirements, yet nearly 50 million tonnesof food are lost or wasted every year. Reducing food losses and waste is critical to ensure sustainable food systems and increase regional and national food security, where the capacity to expand production areas is limited. Therefore, this project aimed at improving the availability and quality of foods in Egypt, Iran, Jordan and Lebanon by increasing capacities of different stakeholders in the food system to reduce food loss and waste along different functions of food value chains.
