At the end of August, conditions are mixed for wheat, maize, rice, and soybeans. Wheat harvests in the northern hemisphere are facing mixed conditions due to drought in several areas, while the southern hemisphere is experiencing expanding dry conditions in Argentina and Australia. Exceptional maize yields are expected in Brazil, but Argentina is facing poor outputs due to persistent drought. Rice crops in China are affected by dry and hot conditions, crops in eastern India have recovered from rain delays, and conditions are mostly favorable in Southeast Asia. Soybean crops in the northern hemisphere are developing under mixed conditions, with some improvement in the west due to enhanced rains.

The war in Ukraine and India's export restrictions on rice have dominated commodity news in recent weeks. In late July, India announced a ban on non-Basmati rice exports and has since then imposed further restrictions on Basmati and parboiled rice exports. Those restrictions, combined with El Niño-related concerns over rice production in the region, have roiled rice markets, with Thai prices rising 20 percent since last month. Wheat prices are still under pressure from abundant Black Sea exports at competitive prices, but markets remain volatile as the termination of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and Russian attacks on Ukraine export facilities have heightened uncertainty. Global soybean and maize production prospects are improved this year with some stock rebuilding anticipated despite dryness in North America, Argentina and parts of Europe.

The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 125.0 points in August, down 0.9 points (0.7 percent) from July and standing 20.6 points (14.1 percent) below its value a year ago. International wheat prices fell by 3.8 percent, mostly reflecting higher seasonal availability from ongoing harvests in several leading exporters in the northern hemisphere. International coarse grain prices also declined in August by 3.4 percent. Maize prices fell for the seventh consecutive month, hitting their lowest value since September 2020, underpinned by ample global supplies from a record harvest in Brazil and the start of the harvest in the United States of America. Among other coarse grains, world prices of sorghum declined in August, pressured by the start of the harvest in the United States of America, the world’s largest sorghum exporter...

Rfissa, rechta, chakhchoukha... Au menu d’une nouvelle génération de restaurants maghrébins à Paris, couscous et tajines sont à l’honneur, désormais accompagnés d’une multitude d’autres plats moins connus pour faire découvrir la cuisine maghrébine dans toute sa richesse.
Alors qu’elle travaillait dans la communication, Katia Barek, 42 ans, a pris la décision d’ouvrir en 2021, en plein centre de Paris, Majouja, une cantine algérienne qui sert uniquement le midi, pour faire découvrir « la cuisine de [son] enfance ».

JEDDAH: Considering some 90 percent of Saudi Arabia’s territory is largely desert and ill-suited for farming, few might expect the Kingdom to be the site of a new agricultural boom designed to boost domestic crop production and reduce dependence on imported foodstuffs. As large swathes of the Arab world struggle with food insecurity and supply-chain disruptions, the Kingdom’s initiatives, investments and technological innovations are redefining what it means to achieve self-sufficiency in many food items across one of the world’s most arid regions.

Depuis deux ans maintenant, la notion de souveraineté alimentaire est régulièrement abordée, débattue, et surtout utilisée comme un argument pour défendre la nécessité de produire. Malgré une balance commerciale excédentaire, l’Union Européenne des 27 est-elle capable de se nourrir ? Sa production interne vise-t-elle à répondre aux besoins…

The surge in agricultural input prices experienced over the last two years, especially those relying on energy derived from fossil fuels such as mineral fertilizers, has raised concerns about global food security. Mineral fertilizers play an important role in the agri-food sector by providing essential nutrients (nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)) for maintaining agricultural crop yield and quality. The production of mineral fertilizers depends on ...

Les prévisions de la FAO concernant la production mondiale de céréales en 2023 ont été abaissées de 4 millions de tonnes par rapport au chiffre précédent publié en juillet. Néanmoins, malgré la révision à la baisse de ce mois-ci, la production mondiale de céréales devrait augmenter de 0,9 pour cent en glissement annuel et atteindre 2 815 millions de tonnes, un niveau équivalent au record de 2021. La plus grande partie de la baisse de ce mois-ci est liée à un fléchissement des perspectives concernant la production mondiale de blé, qui devrait à présent s’établir à 781,1 millions de tonnes, soit 2,2 millions de tonnes de moins que ce qui était prévu en juillet. À ce niveau, la production mondiale reculerait de 2,6 pour cent par rapport à l’année précédente, mais atteindrait tout de même son deuxième plus haut niveau jamais enregistré. Les prévisions de production pour le Canada et l’Union européenne ont été revues à la baisse, en raison de la persistance du temps sec qui a tiré les rendements vers le bas, ce qui explique en grande partie le recul de ce mois-ci. Les prévisions de production de blé pour la Chine ont elles aussi été revues à la baisse, quoique dans une moindre mesure, car de fortes précipitations dans les principales régions de production ont affaibli les perspectives de rendement. Le relèvement des perspectives de ...

This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.

PARIS: L’Algérie, qui a pour ambition de renforcer ses activités industrielles et commerciales, mise sur le développement de ses infrastructures de transport, au premier rang desquelles celles du secteur portuaire. Le pays, dont le commerce extérieur repose à près de 95% sur le transport maritime, compte lancer, en partenariat avec la Chine, le mégaprojet du port Centre d’El-Hamdania, situé à Cherchell, dans la wilaya de Tipaza. Hautement stratégique pour les deux pays, cette initiative a pour objectif de relier l’Afrique à l’Asie en passant par l’Europe.

La Semaine africaine du climat et le Sommet africain sur le climat ont débuté hier à Nairobi, au Kenya. Le rapport « État du climat en Afrique 2022 » de l’Organisation météorologique mondiale – OMM– indique que le changement climatique nuit à la sécurité alimentaire, aux écosystèmes et aux économies de l’Afrique. De même qu’il exacerbe les déplacements et les migrations de population et augmente la menace de conflit en raison de la diminution des ressources.

Plusieurs rapports d’évaluation du changement climatique désignent le bassin méditerranéen comme un « hotspot » du dérèglement climatique, et chaque été voit les phénomènes climatiques s’amplifier dans notre région. Un consensus se dégage sur le fait que des vagues de chaleur en augmentation seront de plus en plus fréquentes dans le pourtour méditerranéen, touchant davantage sa rive sud.
