Journal, magazine, bulletinEurope and Central Asia: Regional food market situation and policy bulletin in response to the COVID-19 pandemic 2020
Also available in:
Based on the FAO’s latest forecast, world cereal production in 2020 is set at 2 790 million tonnes, which would surpass the record high reached in 2019 by as much as 3 percent (81.3 million tonnes) and which would be 5 percent above the five-year average from 2015–2019. The forecast is based on near-average supply prospects in the new season, which, however, remain uncertain due to possible climatic shocks and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impact. In many parts of the world, local markets are bracing for the looming impacts of COVID-19 amid uncertainties related to demand, logistics and even access to food. Close monitoring of the market will be necessary for the next several months. -
Book (series)Europe and Central Asia – Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2021
Statistics and trends
2021Also available in:
The state of food security and nutrition in the world, including that of the Europe and Central Asia region, was marked in 2020 by the outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting disruptions to markets, trade and food supply chains. The pandemic has had a negative effect on food security in the region. It is in this light that the report seeks to assess how food security and nutrition indicators in the region, subregion and countries have changed under the shadow of the pandemic and to monitor the region’s progress towards achieving the SDGs.The first major conclusion is that the subregions (such as the Caucasus and Central Asia) and countries that were already vulnerable before the pandemic became even more so in 2020. The resilience of the Europe and Central Asia region relies mostly on the provision of solid effort in the vulnerable subregions. The second major conclusion is that, although the region was doing better than the world in 2020 in some indicators, there is still an enormous amount of work ahead to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. -
