  4. Global Food Trends

  5. Specifics of the Central Asia • Volatility of Economic Growth, % • Agricultural Characteristics • Irrigated lowlands • Lowland semi-arid natural pastures and highlands including croplands • Dry lowlands and deserts • Share of the agriculture sector: from 5 to 29 percent • Rural population: 57.7 percent (throughout the sub region from 42 to 72 percent)

  6. Specifics of the Central Asia • Landlocked • Weak infrastructure (transportation and logistics) • Spread by income p/c, poverty, and population growth • Mono dietary nutrition • Vulnerable: weather, institutions, socio-politically • Water scarcity • Land degradation • Impact of climate change • Increased yields in KZ and KG • Decreased yields in TM and UZ • Uncertainty in TJ

  7. Transitory and Chronic Food Insecurity • Transitory Food Insecurity (seasonable and unexpected) • Natural events (TJ, KG) • Economic shocks (KZ, KG) • Market fluctuation (KZ, KG, TJ) • Social unrest (KG, in 2010- the ethnic violence in southern Kyrgyzstan resulted in IDP of more than 300.000 people) • Chronic Food Insecurity • Imbalanced macro and micronutrients • Children stunting and wasting • Low birth weight rate • Shortage of vitamins

  8. Production and productivity • Trade conditions: import/ export • WTO(Doha round), NCU, EAC • Economic shocks • High prices for food, fuel, fertilizers etc.) • Weather conditions & Climate Change • Natural Resources Main Factors

  18. Food Security Stability Problems • Poverty & Purchasing power distribution • Access to food for entire population • Volatility of availability • Undernourishment • Malnutrition • Households insecurity of vulnerable groups Potential risks • Import dependency • Trade conditions • Marginalization of society • Limited water resources • Nutrition deficiency • Access to markets • Social unrest
