Book (stand-alone)Technical bookMarket structure and efficiency in agricultural value chains: Deep dives in El Salvador and the Dominican Republic 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Hunger and malnutrition remain critical developmental challenges in Central America. Since 2020, rates of moderate and severe food insecurity have risen across the region, while key indicators in early childhood nutrition persist at high levels across both lower- and upper-middle-income states. Rising food prices play a key role in limiting access to healthy and affordable diets for the populations of these countries. In 2022 and 2023, food price inflation reached or exceeded 10 percent in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Across almost all of these countries, white maize prices remain more than 40 percent higher than their levels in 2021, while prices for red and black beans rose by 40 percent to 90 percent over the same period. These price increases have disproportionately affected poorer and rural households. This report represents a context-specific approach to analyzing market structures and dynamics that may contribute to price distortions in two country-commodity pairs in Central America: white maize in El Salvador, and bananas in the Dominican Republic. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportFishery performance indicator studies for the commercial and recreational pelagic fleets of the Dominican Republic and Grenada 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) were developed to address gaps in data and information on fisheries worldwide and in recognition that to be successful with fisheries investment, development or conservation projects measurable outcomes are needed. The focus of the tool and its indicators is to evaluate the effectiveness of management systems in aligning ecosystem health and human well-being. The Ocean Partnership Program (OPP) belonging to the Areas Beyond National Jurisdictions (ABNJ) program funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and the World Bank, supported the Caribbean Billfish Project and its development of billfish fisheries management and conservation business cases in the Caribbean. The Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), Conservation International and the fisheries authorities in the Dominican Republic and Grenada teamed-up to develop business cases at national level. The FPIs studies in both countries were conducted on the commercial and recreational pelagic fisheries. For Grenada, the commercial pelagic longline fishery, the commercial fish aggregating device (FAD) fishery and recreational fishery for billfish and other pelagics were assessed. For the Dominican Republic, the pelagic FAD fishery and the recreational billfish fishery were assessed. This circular details the information discovered during the FPI field work and discusses the resulting FPI scores. The information collected and analysed is used for the development of the business cases in both countries. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
