Après l'avertissement du chef de l'État par rapport aux prix pratiqués par les commerçants, l'Office algérien interprofessionnel des céréales (Oaic) a plafonné les prix de vente des légumes secs. Il vient de publier les prix de ces denrées aux consommateurs. Les prix rendus publics par l'Oaic, qui est le monopole public de l'importation des céréales et des légumes secs, sont jugés raisonnables par rapport à ceux qui ont été affichés sur les étals par les commerçants. Ainsi, le prix des pois chiches importés est plafonné à 380 DA le kilogramme. Le prix des lentilles est annoncé aux consommateurs à 280 DA le kilogramme.

S’il existe une région au monde où l’expression «soif de blé» trouve toute sa pertinence, c’est bien en Afrique du Nord et au Moyen-Orient (Anmo). Depuis les années 1960, les besoins de la région en produits agricoles ont été multipliés par six et, actuellement, plus de 40% de la consommation de la région proviennent des marchés internationaux. Il est évident que cette dépendance alimentaire régionale est principalement liée aux céréales, étant donné qu’une tonne sur deux consommées provient de l’extérieur.

Le marché a en effet vite réagi à cette mesure prise par l’Inde (le premier de riz, représentant environ 40% du commerce mondial) pour tenter de freiner la hausse des prix sur ton territoire (plus de 30% depuis octobre dernier), et ce, d’autant que les prix mondiaux du riz n’ont cessé d’augmenter depuis le début de l’année 2022 et que les approvisionnements sont sous pression sachant que la nouvelle récolte n’arrivera sur les marchés que dans trois mois environ.

Conflict, Climate Change, Inequality Trigger Surge in Global Hunger By Lisa Schlein July 12, 2023 Hopes of ending hunger by the end of this decade have all but evaporated as multiple crises — climate change, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, including the war in Ukraine — have pushed more than 122 million people into hunger since 2019 to reach an unprecedented high of 735 million. While progress in reducing hunger is occurring in Asia and Latin America, a new report by five United Nations specialized agencies finds hunger is still on the rise in Western Asia, the Caribbean and throughout all subregions of Africa. The latest State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report, launched Wednesday, says Africa remains the worst affected region, with "one in five people facing hunger on ...

Future changes in drought characteristics in Greece were investigated using dynamically downscaled high-resolution simulations of 5 km. The Weather Research and Forecasting model simulations were driven by EC-EARTH output for historical and future periods, under Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5. For the drought analysis, the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index (SPEI) were calculated. This work contributed to achieve an improved characterization of the expected high-resolution changes of drought in Greece. Overall, the results indicate that Greece will face severe drought conditions in the upcoming years, particularly under RCP8.5, up to 8/5 y of severity change signal. The results of 6-month timescale indices suggest that more severe and prolonged drought events are expected with an increase of 4 months/5 y, particularly in areas of central and eastern part of the country in near future, and areas of the western parts in far future. The indices obtained in a 12-month ...

How does food insecurity affect irregular migration, and what role can a needs-based humanitarian response play? A recent collaboration between IFPRI and the World Food Programme took a route-base approach to looking at irregular migration in West Africa—examining migrant origins, their transit experience, and the situation where their journey stalls or ends. The mixed method study includes case studies of the Ténéré desert crossing, across the south-central Sahara, for Malian and Libyan migrants. The resulting report and interactive website designed by MIT’s Civic Design Lab illustrate the migrant journey and associated risks as migrants make their way from West Africa to the Maghreb and, for some, on to Europe. This virtual seminar will present study results and the website, with discussion by researchers from IFPRI, WFP, and MIT as well as other experts.

After Russia said on Monday it would end the Black Sea Grain Initiative – a deal to provide safe export routes for about 20 per cent of the world’s grain – governments have been trying to assess the impact on world hunger.
Ukraine, sometimes called the breadbasket of Europe, is a major producer of sunflower oil, wheat and maize, but when Russia invaded in February 2022, turning much of the agriculturally rich east of the country into a warzone, wheat prices were hit hardest amid a general surge in global food prices.

Ongoing droughts and an over-exploitation of land for both agriculture and industry have stoked fears in Spain over the creeping spread of "sterile soil" which could devastate Europe's kitchen garden.
"There used to be a holm oak forest here.. but now the land is barren," says Gabriel del Barrio, pointing to a hill where only stunted shrubs remain.

Dependencies in the global food production network can lead to shortages in numerous regions, as demonstrated by the impacts of the Russia–Ukraine conflict on global food supplies. Here we reveal the losses of 125 food products after a localized shock to agricultural production in 192 countries and territories using a multilayer network model of trade (direct) and conversion of food products (indirect), thereby quantifying 108 shock transmissions. We find that a complete agricultural production loss in Ukraine has heterogeneous impacts on other countries, causing relative losses of up to 89% in sunflower oil and 85% in maize via direct effects and up to 25% in poultry meat via indirect impacts. Whereas previous studies often treated products in isolation and did not account for ...
