![]() La peste porcine africaine, est une maladie virale dû à un Astivirus (virus à ADN double brin) qui affecte les suidés (porcs, sangliers notamment). Elle n’est pas zoonotique. D’origine africaine, elle se retrouve maintenant à l’état panzootique, notamment dans l’est de l’Europe, en Asie et tout particulièrement en Chine. Elle constitue un fléau économique d’importance mondiale.

World soyabeans production is projected to reach successive highs through 2025-26, mainly on increases in the United States and Brazil. Consumption is seen reaching successive highs as well, but a modest recovery in world inventories is likely, tied to expectations for some stock . . .
![]() Lors du colloque annuel de la fondation Farm, qui s'est tenu le 18 décembre 2020 en visioconférence, analyses scientifiques et témoignages professionnels ont envisagé des pistes pour améliorer la résilience des systèmes alimentaires africains, mise à l'épreuve en 2020 par la Covid-19 : appui aux producteurs agricoles, développement de la transformation locale, assurances, aide alimentaire ou financière, institutionnalisation des secteurs. Comparant les crises de 2008 et de 2020, F. Galtier (Cirad) a rappelé le rôle de la faible disponibilité céréalière dans la hausse des prix en 2008 et l’effet bénéfique de la libération d’un important stock de riz japonais. En 2020, la disponibilité des céréales a limité l’ampleur de la crise alimentaire. Selon F. Galtier, coordonnateur d’un rapport sur ce sujet pour la Commission européenne, rendu en 2018, le développement de réserves publiques, accompagné de mesures de gestion et de coordination, pour fournir une aide ciblée et stabiliser les prix, atténuerait la fréquence et l’intensité des crises à venir.
![]() 2020 ATOR: SUSTAINING AFRICA'S AGRIFOOD SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION: The Role of Public Policies | ReSAKSSThe African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the Malabo Declaration have called for the rapid transformation of Africa’s agrifood system. This ambitious agrifood system transformation agenda involves reconciling trade-offs across poverty reduction, food security, nutrition, and environmental goals. The ReSAKSS 2020 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) focuses on the policies required to transform African agrifood systems to meet their potential. Chapters provide (1) an in-depth review of the evolution of agricultural sector policies over the last five decades; (2) a systematic analysis of traditional input constraints on agricultural productivity; (3) a discussion of policies needed to bolster competitiveness along value chains; and of (4) institutional and political economy factors that shape the broader enabling environment needed for agrifood system transformation. The report serves as the official M&E report for the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), tracking progress on over 30 core CAADP indicators.

Alors que l’implosion de l’économie libanaise et les conséquences de l’explosion du port de Beyrouth menacent de plonger des centaines de milliers de Libanais dans la famine, le secrétaire général du Hezbollah, qui d’ordinaire s’aventure peu dans les questions de politique économique, s’est exprimé dans le cadre d’une intervention télévisée en faveur d’un « jihad agricole ». Solution révolutionnaire s’il en est, celui-ci consisterait en une mobilisation générale pour cultiver les terres fertiles du pays afin de relancer l’activité économique et remédier à l’inflation galopante qui touche de plein fouet les produits alimentaires.

![]() In Europe, food insecurity is still a serious concern for individual and public health. Although progress has been made in reducing undernourishment, other types of malnutrition such as obesity and overweight are on the rise. Policies that aim at improving healthy eating and addressing food insecurity tend to focus on food aid, nutritional education and financial incentives. These policies are generally not targeted at the problem of insufficient income as a key barrier to access a healthy diet.

![]() Abstract : When water scarcity restricts agricultural production, expanding water resources is only one option to increase or maintain output; investments in research to raise productivity can also release constraints on growth. In this paper, we construct a model of optimal resource allocation with both public and private inputs in production—the public sector invests in research and irrigation infrastructure to supply technology and water, respectively, whereas the private sector supplies other inputs. The model is used to derive shadow values for water that suggest “crop per drop” valuations are likely to significantly overstate the marginal value of water in agriculture. We apply our model to analyze sources of growth in Egyptian agriculture, which is almost entirely dependent on publicly supplied irrigation water, over 1961–2016. We construct two indexes of total productivity: total factor productivity treats resources from a producer perspective, where water is free and resource rents accrue to land. Total resource productivity takes a social perspective, where government subsidies for irrigation are included as a cost of production, and resource rents are assigned to water withdrawals for agriculture. Our results find that technological innovations and efficiency gains contributed significantly more to agricultural growth in Egypt than expansion of irrigated area or water use. Productivity growth accelerated in the 1980s following the transition from a socialist to a market‐oriented economy. Including social costs of irrigation provision reduces the implied rate of total productivity growth only marginally. Nonetheless, the rise in total resource productivity significantly increased the value of natural resource rents in Egyptian agriculture.

![]() Ancien professeur à Cornell University (État de New York), ainsi que dans plusieurs universités françaises, Steven Kaplan est tombé amoureux de notre pays en mâchant sa première bouchée de pain, un jour de 1962 au jardin du Luxembourg. Depuis, il n'a cessé de consacrer ses recherches au bricheton, au lingot ou à la baguette, adoptant toujours une large perspective économique et sociale héritée de l'école des Annales : Bread, Politics and Political Economy, 1976 ; Le pain, le peuple et le roi, 1986 ; Le meilleur pain du monde, 1996 ; Le pain maudit, 2008 ; Raisonner sur les blés, 2017 (voir à ce sujet une brève). Dans ce nouvel ouvrage, il étudie la baisse continue de la consommation de pain, les actions entreprises pour l'enrayer, les stratégies des principaux acteurs concernés et les évolutions plus profondes de la culture panaire nationale. De façon plus personnelle, voire militante, Kaplan s'inquiète de la situation actuelle, appelle à la résistance et entreprend de défendre la cause du pain et des céréales, des meuniers et des boulangers.

![]() France is traditionally an important player on the world’s grains market, supplying a range of markets, particularly in the nearby countries of North Africa, with which it has a close trading relationship. However, in 2020, poor weather conditions led to a spectacularly poor crop, sharply reducing the surplus available to the largest European Union Member State, by area. The International Grains Council (IGC) put France’s total 2020-21 grains production at 57.6 million tonnes in its Oct. 29 Grain Market Report, down from its figure a . . .

India and the US are negotiating on a wide range of trade concerns, including greater access to the Indian market for American agricultural products, potentially in exchange for America restoring New Delhi's status under the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP), according to a Congressional report. President Donald Trump in 2019 terminated India's designation as a beneficiary developing nation under the key GSP trade programme after determining that it has not assured the US that it will provide equitable and reasonable access to its markets. While India is among the world's largest producers and consumers of a range of crop and livestock commodities, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects that India will continue to be an important importer of dairy products, vegetable oils, pulses, tree nuts, and fruit and that it will continue to be a major exporter of rice, cotton, and buffalo meat. |
