Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Prices of rice have generally been stable since the beginning of 2010, but are higher than the pre-high food crises period. Political tensions with Thailand continue. Moreover Cambodia's paddy crop was adversely affected by late rains and this could result in higher levels of food insecurity. GIEWS assessed that there is generally satisfactory food security throughout the country while other agencies agree that in the long term hunger will increase. The Government has implemented the Recta ngular Strategy-Phase II to scale up rice production and has expanded social protection programmes to support vulnerable people.

    Stimuler et pérenniser les investissements des jeunes dans l’agriculture et les systèmes alimentaires
    Recommandations politiques basées sur les enseignements tirés de onze pays africains
    2020
    Also available in:
    Les mesures qui donnent des moyens d'action aux jeunes agroentrepreneurs devraient être un élément clé d'une stratégie de promotion des investissements axée sur le développement durable. La réalisation même de la sécurité alimentaire des générations futures, la transformation durable des systèmes alimentaires et la lutte contre le chômage et les migrations de détresse dépendent toutes de la mise en œuvre réussie de stratégies qui rendent le secteur agroalimentaire plus attrayant pour les jeunes. Cela nécessite à son tour des réponses politiques intelligentes qui aideront les jeunes investisseurs à surmonter les nombreux obstacles auxquels ils sont confrontés - accès au financement, aux terres, à l'information et aux services techniques, pour ne citer que les plus cruciaux. Depuis 2017, la FAO aide les pays d'Afrique et d'Asie du Sud-Est à identifier les principaux défis auxquels sont confrontés les jeunes entrepreneurs agricoles et les bonnes pratiques grâce à des analyses participatives des capacités et des processus de planification stratégique réalisés avec et pour les jeunes. Ce rapport résume les principales conclusions et leçons tirées du travail de la FAO avec onze pays africains - Afrique du Sud, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinée Conakry, Malawi, Mali, Mauritanie, Mozambique, Namibie, Ouganda, Sénégal et Tunisie. Il identifie les principaux défis et recommandations politiques concernant l'accès des jeunes au financement, à la terre, aux services techniques et à l'information, ainsi que l'engagement des jeunes dans les processus d'élaboration des politiques. Le rapport contient également une série de cinq recommandations politiques clés pour l'autonomisation des jeunes entrepreneurs agricoles.

The general CPI covers 204 countries, and the food CPI covers 200 countries worldwide. 22.1 percent of the observations for the food CPI and 9.2 percent for the general CPI are estimated.
