İktisatçı-yazar Mustafa Sönmez, gıda fiyatlarındaki artış ve yağ kuyruklarıyla ilgili "Hükümete karşı güven duyulmuyor. Hele mesele gıda olunca hiç güven duyulmuyor. O yüzden insanlar haklı olarak alabilecekleri yağ varsa kuyruğa giriyorlar, almaya çalışıyorlar. Çünkü bu hükümetin iddialarının ve söylediklerinin hiçbir karşılığı olmadı" dedi.

L’explosion des prix des produits agricoles, commencée avant même la crise ukrainienne, fragilise les pays du Proche-Orient et du Maghreb.

Bulletin de veille 427 spécial stocks et réserves alimentaires

Bulletin de veille 427 spécial stocks et réserves alimentaires | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Inter-réseaux consacre un second bulletin de veille à cette thématique pour cerner les différentes avancées à ce sujet. La première partie du bulletin est une présentation générale des stocks et réserves alimentaires, de leurs rôles et des défis auxquels ils sont confrontés. La seconde partie, consacrée à l’expérience ouest-africaine, met en évidence la structuration de la stratégie régionale autour des lignes de défense qui caractérisent la région de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Sahel.

On peut toutefois s’attendre à ce que la guerre  en Ukraine et la hausse des prix (qui  atteignent d’ores et déjà les niveaux de la crise de 2008 -pour le blé, le maïs ou les huiles végétales) changent la donne en suscitant un regain d’intérêt pour le stockage et les politiques de stockage.

Climate and agronomy, not genetics, underpin recent maize yield gains in favorable environments

Climate and agronomy, not genetics, underpin recent maize yield gains in favorable environments | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Quantitative understanding of factors driving yield increases of major food crops is essential for effective prioritization of research and development. Yet previous estimates had limitations in distinguishing among contributing factors such as changing climate and new agronomic and genetic technologies. Here, we distinguished the separate contribution of these factors to yield advance using an extensive database collected from the largest irrigated maize-production domain in the world located in Nebraska (United States) during the 2005-to-2018 period. We found that 48% of the yield gain was associated with a decadal climate trend, 39% with agronomic improvements, and, by difference, only 13% with improvement in genetic yield potential. The fact that these findings were so different from most previous studies, which gave much-greater weight to genetic yield potential improvement, gives urgency to the need to reevaluate contributions to yield advances for all major food crops to help guide future investments in research and development to achieve sustainable global food security. If genetic progress in yield potential is also slowing in other environments and crops, future crop-yield gains will increasingly rely on improved agronomic practices.

Inside EGYPT’s plan to tackle the wheat crisis

Inside EGYPT’s plan to tackle the wheat crisis | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Egypt is hoping that a new plan to rely on its own wheat reserves and local production will be enough to cover domestic consumption of the vital grain until 2023.
Facing difficulties in importing wheat because of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine - the two countries are the largest sources of wheat for Egypt - the government now has to increase dependence on local wheat. 
To achieve that goal, Egypt’s plan for self-sufficiency in 2022 is twofold.
