Resumen
Descripción
Arab countries depend heavily on
imported food, particularly wheat. Population growth, rising
incomes, and climate change will only increase their
dependency on wheat imports, thereby making Arab countries
even more exposed to international market volatility. A
recent World Bank study, 'the grain chain: food
security and managing wheat imports in Arab countries,'
identifies key bottlenecks in the wheat-import supply chain
(WISC) and some possible remedies. Efficiency improvements
to the supply chain can improve food security. This smart
lesson provides a summary of the relevant issues.
