Synopsis (short abstract) This report largely owes to the FAPDA exercise of FAO which collects food and agriculture policy measures, and categorizes them for easier analysis of such policies. Not all the recommended actions for improving the state of the Agricultural sector and Food Security in Egypt had been found in the policies collected for the FAPDA exercise. This does not necessarily mean such policies being decreed by the Government are lacking. Rather it is most likely due to the limited access to the available m easures. However, there is still a clear example of several topics of concern within producer-oriented policies that are reflected within the FAPDA exercise, namely; to increase the productivity of cultivatable land already in use, through increasing quality of crops and their varieties; to more efficiently use the countries limited water resource through limiting its use on specific crops, and increasing the use of more efficient irrigations methods; and improving access of small farmers to mar kets through crop subsidies, remunerative programs, anti-monopoly laws, and easier access to loans.

    This report provides an in-depth analysis of the effects of selected food and agricultural policies in Malawi over the period 2005-2013 and carefully examines: the effects of policies and market performance on price incentives for producers, consumers and other agents in six key agricultural value chains; the level and composition of public expenditure in support of the food and agriculture sector; and the degree of coherence between governments’ stated policy objectives, the policy measures imp lemented to achieve those objectives, and the effects they generate. Policy recommendations presented are based on the main findings of the analyses and are aimed at the development of the agricultural sector and more precisely, the reduction of price distortions for producers and consumers and ensuring that producers benefit from market opportunities. This report, a compilation of all technical work thus far in Malawi, provides policy-makers, as well as development partners and other stakehold ers in civil society, with the best possible information on the effects of policies and public expenditure influencing agricultural investment decisions and ultimately food security.
